      @@LumbridgeTeleport Evolution has possibly the most proof of any scientific theory. It can even be simulated on a computer and work the same way there, or in mathematics. There is an interesting video (can't find it now) showing how a man scrambling over a fence can be simulated on a computer just with Newton's laws of motion and the goal of getting over the fence. It does take millions of tries, but the result looks surprisingly realistic. The trouble with a dogmatic religious approach is that it is intolerant of logic and evidence. Without good logic and a respect for evidence, dogmatism fails to provide any kind of useful understanding of nature or how it works.

    • @kylezo
      @kylezo 3 года назад

      Yeah, this and sound bytes talking about how it "changes instantly" are super misleading and really contribute destructively to a helpful understanding of quantum processes. It doesn't "suddenly change", since we have no way to measure BEFORE measurement (obviously), we have no way to know what exists before measurement, so we use metaphors and comparisons to describe things that we know we don't understand. This unfortunately turns into people thinking they understand something that they don't because of the imagery that the language evokes and is super counterproductive, which leads to things like needing to unlearn a bunch of incorrect stuff in order to understand things more fully, which is a huge waste of time, energy, and a roadblock to progress in general.

      Take a good advice from someone who was at that point 25 years ago: don't bet your career on a highly speculative, but very likely anti-scientific topic. There is a good chance that' you'll ruin your entire career for the rest of your life. Do a demanding, but solid and less flashy molbio PhD. Highly speculative topics are typically career killers. You can still switch your main research topic later, if you find a proper (paid) postdoc position for it (although this is very unlikely, which is why it wouldn't be very smart to do a PhD upon it) . Once you are in the "esoteric"-drawer there is no way out of it.

    • @david203
      @david203 2 года назад +2

      @@frankschneider6156 There are plenty of counterexamples for your pessimism. Most of the biggest contributors in most fields of study did their work because they loved it and were good at it. We wouldn't have Einstein's contributions today if he had followed your advice, because the ideas he followed were speculative. Yes, finding QM in photosynthesis is speculative, but it is highly suggestive due to its high efficiency. We just don't have any other high efficiency theory to apply other than QM.
      There is a big difference between speculating that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant for all non-accelerating observers and speculating that the positions of the planets at the instant of birth determine aspects of the personality of every human being (astrology). Your narrow-minded comment makes no distinction between different kinds of "esoteric" or speculative topics, which is downright stupid of you. Sorry for my lack of tact.

    @SumbluddyIdiut 4 года назад +8

    I remember reading this several years ago somewhere. A single photon takes every possible path through some region of a leaf simultaneously, until only one of those paths transfers all of the energy; analogous to lightning streamers fingering through the sky until a single pathway allows the entire charge imbalance to be rectified through the single most efficient path.
    Quite a profound thought but definitely helpful in understanding quantum electrodynamics and its crazy ways.
    Here's another crazy thought..
    What if the universe is really just the framework of a quantum computer cross referencing potentials of possibilities to calculate the probability of its own existence?
    Possibility, potential and probability rule the universe, so what if that's simply all it is?
    Surely just the mere notion of the possibility of existence would need a framework in which to be a notion, a mind in which to be pondered, some godly notepad on which to be mapped, plotted and calculated, or even just a universe in which to be lived out any infinite amount of ways...
    The universe could, mind you, hypothetically, manifest itself just from logic if that ever worried you lol i.e. if nothing existed then possibility itself wouldn't exist... If possibility didn't exist then neither would the possibility of nothing existing.. therefore it is impossible for nothing to exist so the universe must exist. 😋
    But, I mean really, back to the possibilities of the universe existing. A possibility is positive or negative and potential gives that qualitative concept a quantitative aspect.
    Positive, negative, potential... they sound familiar.
    To communicate and compare possibilities and potentials you need a way of communicating, or maybe, "radiating" your various potential within your framework, assuming it was potentials which were sharing energy between other as they do, measuring and comparing each other (what else would there be to do so?) If exchanging info meant exchanging energy this would lead to changes in their relative potentials. Change is the creator of time, and the exchange in info/energy would require re-radiation of updated energy levels leading to continuous radiation and endless change and the continuous passage of time.
    There's my philosophical recipe for a universe haha..
    Just thought I'd share this fun little thought experiment about the universe being its own thought experiment 😂

I like that quantum physics, or entanglement/super position of particles, in which can create some pretty complex set of calculations of the overall system, that are more complex than what would take a supercomputer to calculate for over 10,000 years, in which utilizing quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics can calculate the same information in around a second. Quantum devices using entangled particles, in which more entangled particles, means more information ability and it can also work over great separated distances between them and can still operate, is also neat.

    Funny that I'm watching this video now after studying these papers for a seminar I gave on 2D electronic spectroscopy. I was going to say that there is a dispute over the quantum beats, but you did that already! Either way, regarding the path of the excitons, 2DES reveled that the pigments closest to the reaction center have lower energy than the ones far away, thus the exciton downhill pathway leads towards the reaction center.

    • @alangil40
      @alangil40 3 года назад +1

      Exactly what I was thinking. If quantum mechanics is the underlying theory of all physics, then everything in the Universe by extension requires quantum mechanics to work. As Jade alludes to the vast majority of the time, the quantum effects are abstracted and classical physics/chemistry is sufficient to explain a given phenomenon. But every once in a while, such as in the slit experiment, a proper explanation requires peaking below the covers a level of abstraction down.

      Well it's still pretty darn counterintuitive, but it definitely helped clear some things up when I realized "measurement" is the wrong word. Decoherence occurs whenever particles interact with each other regardless of whether anyone is actually using that interaction to make a measurement or not.

To this question I always summarize my explanations with a personal emphasis on relativity and scientific "truth"--
    "Reality is much stranger than fiction kids. You definitely will never need to do drugs to flip reality upside down, because it already was but you didn't notice. If you actually use your imagination you will never be disappointed because life is plenty weird enough!"

    @charlesbrightman4237 4 года назад

    Find some entity to do my gravity test and possibly have the literal Theory Of Everything:
    (Reusable code from my files):
    Revised TOE: 3/25/2017a.
    My Current TOE:
    THE SETUP:
    1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism.
    2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too. It occurs at the outer end of the inner arc of the horseshoe magnet.).
    3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them.
    4. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them.
    5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them.
    FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO:
    6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field.
    7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field.
    8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality.
    9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between electrons and protons.
    10. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary.
    11. Quarks also supposedly have a charge to them and then would also most likely have electro-magnetic fields associated with them, possibly a different arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks.
    12. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do.
    THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA:
    13. Personally, I currently believe that the directional force in photons is "gravity". It's the force that makes the sine wave of EM energy go from a wide (maximum extension) to a point (minimum extension) of a moving photon and acts 90 degrees to the EM forces which act 90 degrees to each other. When the EM gets to maximum extension, "gravity" flips and EM goes to minimum, then "gravity" flips and goes back to maximum, etc, etc. A stationary photon would pulse from it's maximum extension to a point possibly even too small to detect, then back to maximum, etc, etc.
    14. I also believe that a pulsating, swirling singularity (which is basically a pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon) is the energy unit in this universe.
    15. When these pulsating, swirling energy units interact with other energy units, they tangle together and can interlock at times. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe.
    16. When the energy units unite and interlock together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate.
    17. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure.
    18. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons).
    THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY:
    19. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up.
    20. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency.
    21. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies.
    NOTES:
    22. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    23. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    24. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well.
    25. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM with the energy unit, this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. Of which with the current theory of understanding, how come the forces of nature haven't evolved by now since the original conditions acting upon the singularity aren't acting upon them like they originally were, billions of years have supposedly elapsed, in a universe that continues to expand and cool, with energy that could not be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense? My theory would seem to make more sense if in fact it is really true. I really wonder if it is in fact really true.
    26. And the universe would be expanding due to these pulsating and interacting energy units and would also allow galaxies to collide, of which, how could galaxies ever collide if they are all speeding away from each other like is currently taught?
    DISCLAIMER:
    27. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty.
    Here is the test for the 'gravity' portion of my TOE idea. I do not have the necessary resources to do the test but maybe you or someone else reading this does, will do the test, then tell the world what is found out either way.
    a. Imagine a 12 hour clock.
    b. Put a magnetic field across from the 3 to 9 o'clock positions.
    c. Put an electric field across from the 6 to 12 o'clock positions.
    (The magnetic field and electric field would be 90 degrees to each other and should be polarized so as to complement each other.)
    d. Shoot a high powered laser through the center of the clock at 90 degrees to the em fields.
    e. Do this with the em fields on and off.
    (The em fields could be varied in size, strength, density and depth. The intent would be to energy frequency match the laser and em fields for optimal results.)
    f. Look for any gravitational / anti-gravitational effects.
    (Including the utilization of ferro cells so as to be able to actually see the energy field movements.)
    (And note: if done right, it's possible a mini gravitational black hole might form. Be ready for it. In addition, it's possible a neutrino might be formed before the black hole stage, the neutrino being a substance with a very high gravitational modality with very low 'em' modalities.)
    (An alternative to the above would be to shoot 3 high powered lasers, or a single high powered laser split into 3 beams, each adjustable to achieve the above set up, all focused upon a single point in space.)
    'If' effects are noted, 'then' further research could be done.
    'If' effects are not noted, 'then' my latest TOE idea is wrong. But still, we would know what 'gravity' was not, which is still something in the scientific world. Science still wins either way and moves forward.

I have read that there can be up to 300 chlorophyll molecules in a single antenna out of many identical antennae on the thylakoid membrane. What puzzles me is what the RXN molecule does about all the excitons/electrons being pulled/pushed out of the magnesium atom if up to 300 of them are operating at once. Does it just select the first one and all the others have to slink back to their magnesium atom awaiting the next stream of photons? Fascinating video anyway!

    Why oh WHY do we call this everywhere-being just probability? Would it be too intimidating to say that a particle does not fully exists (the lower the so-called probability gets, the less it exists in a particular position). We consider them existing in the place where it exists the most but anything smaller than an atom simply does not fully exist anywhere in our time/space/energy/matter world. It’s not that we can’t tell where it is or it’s jumping around or resides in two places at the same time. It’s that it has, like a complex number, an imaginary part (a part in a next dimension) which part is out of time and space. Moreover, a particle necessarily only exists fully in that higher dimension, and we can only perceive it’s blurry (nowhere fully existing) 3D projection. Where quantum computing happens, we (or the plant, or the bird) actually COMMUNICATE with a higher dimension (we simply call this random event not to be too scared from it). Random makes the world go around, the world go around...

      Obviously is biology just biochemistry, which is a part of chemistry, which is pretty much the embodiment of what a quantum processes are, so yes.
      The problem. with "Quantum biology" is that's a quack science and some people just postulate quantum processes to be in place where none (except classical processes) are required. Same as with telepathy and similar nonsensical bullshit in the 70s, when suddenly lots of "scientists" (=psychologists) seemed to discover evidence in favor of it everywhere.
      Same here, as well as with postulated quantum processes in neurons. Just a lot of pseudo-science. At least until there is hard evidence in favor of the hypothesis.
      If there really is a quantum process at work in biology, it's in the Mn4Ca-cluster in photosynthesis, because that's something where there is no classical explanation how it exactly works and be would at least make some sort of sense.
