The mind, he is blown

I just cannot even with this quantum.

Seriously. Can't.

I'm reading Life on the Edge, by Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe McFadden. It's about quantum biology. Apparently all the quantum weirdness (things being in two (or more) places at once, and going in every direction at once until you measure them, and all that) that one thinks of as not directly relevant to everyday life ... is. As in, life's basic processes depend on it. The sun can only fuse hydrogen into helium because particles "tunnel", being in two places at once, and therefore can get close enough to fuse. Photosynthesis, all around us every day, in every plant, depends on each electron spreading out in all directions at once after they get knocked off the chlorophyll molecule by photons. And on. And on. Just cannot. Even.

Anyway, here 'tis:  there to be Flickr'd.
