   Hey Mike…

   New evidence directly shows life using quantum mechanics

   From Science Daily"¦

   Through photosynthesis, green plants and cyanobacteria are able to transfer sunlight energy to molecular reaction centers for conversion into chemical energy with nearly 100-percent efficiency. Speed is the key "“ the transfer of the solar energy takes place almost instantaneously so little energy is wasted as heat. How photosynthesis achieves this near instantaneous energy transfer is a long-standing mystery that may have finally been solved.
   …
   "We have obtained the first direct evidence that remarkably long-lived wavelike electronic quantum coherence plays an important part in energy transfer processes during photosynthesis," said Graham Fleming, the principal investigator for the study. "This wavelike characteristic can explain the extreme efficiency of the energy transfer because it enables the system to simultaneously sample all the potential energy pathways and choose the most efficient one."

   I'm not as versed in evolutionary biology as a lot of other people around here but hasn't photosynthesis been around for a really, really long time? And if photosynthesis relies on quantum mechanics along with microtubule consciousness then wouldn't that suggest that strongly suggest that quantum mechanics was front loaded into all life on Earth?

   Just a thought.

   TP, photosynthesis takes advantage of qm to enhance efficiency. Photosynthesis might be a good FL candidate but I had some other reasons in mind.

   That just goes to show you how biased you are. QM isn't being taken advantage of, it is purposefully enabling photosynthesis!

   QM is an excellent FL candidate for being the mechanism preinstalled into life by a timeless agency or process.

   Hope you don't mind if I use this as an open-thread.
   I don't know if any of you can help me out with this. Occassionally I come across a hurt animal, I bring it home and try to rehabilitate it. I've fixed up frogs, mice, birds, turtles. I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll just see an injured animal (while driving down the road or something), pick it up, put it in the car and head home. Thankfully the injuries haven't been too bad - things that I've been able to patch up. But lastnight when I was driving home I noticed a bird in the road with a broken wing. I felt terrible, but I hadn't a clue on how to even start to help this guy. I turned around to go get him, but when I did he was already gone (no idea where he went).
   I was thinking that maybe there's a kit or some 'tools' that I could pick up, and maybe a how to guide - on how to 'repair' these guys.

   Any ideas?
