Quantum Biology

A research team at UC Berkley lead by Gregory S. Engel has found a way to ease the usually convoluted problems of "quantum biology." The team used femtosecond lasers to track the progress of light energy in the course of a photosynthetic bacterial cell, and found that the energy investigated all options of trajectory, seemingly “deciding” which path to be the most logical. This discovery shows evidence of quantum phenomena occurring in single cells as well as within living systems. Another experiment conducted by Paul Davies and John Joe McFadden using electron tunneling revealed how, “the earliest self-replicating molecules overcame the inestimable odds against them” through micro-teleportation, according to hpklusmagazine.com. All this evidence leads to suggest that cells and cell mutations possess intelligence, including the ability to respond to lab toxins.
