How does a robin know to fly south? The answer might be weirder than you think: Quantum physics may be involved. Jim Al-Khalili rounds up the extremely new, extremely strange world of quantum biology, where something Einstein once called “spooky action at a distance” helps birds navigate, and quantum effects might explain the origin of life itself.

For those interested, at 2:53 the simulation is showing part of a cellular membrane (yellow = hydrophilic heads and green = hydrophobic tails) surrounded by water in red. The blue ribbon-like structure embedded in the membrane is a protein.

@@vivianle9901 I've seen some impressive animations showing how the components of cells work (including "walking"). I'm intrigued about a true representation being "unrecognizable". Are there any unrecognizable simulations or animations of cellular activities? Even if we use color to indicate different functions, doesn't that tend to make simulations more recognizable? Even though balls and sticks don't look like overlapping electron orbitals, what's wrong with using them? Balls and sticks are successful in helping to find new drugs, among other applications.

Al-Khalili was born in Baghdad in 1962. His father was an Air Force engineer, and his mother was an English Librarian. Al-Khalili settled permanently in the UK in 1979.[2] After completing his A-levels in 1982, he studied physics at the University of Surrey and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986. He stayed on at Surrey to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree in nuclear reaction theory, which he obtained in 1989, rather than accepting a job offer from the National Physical Laboratory.[9]

@greggrobinson5116 4 года назад

There's a very good reason why none of us understand quantum, and that has to do with what we mean by "understand." In most of science, "understanding" means we can relate a scientific principle to the macro items we know in the classical, macro world. So atoms act like little billiard balls and electrons are either waves or particles. But we're not familiar with things that act like both waves and particles in the macro world, and so we can't "understand" them; we can't "model" them. We have to rely on math. So the confusion about quantum turns out to be a problem in epistemology, not in nature.

+Twitchi Because "Quantum Physics" is not a special Theory and ALL modern theories (QFT, QCT, Standard Model, Loop-Quantum-Gravity etc.) are QUANTUM theories - you are wrong. Maybe the "Theory of everything" will be a Quantum theory, too - if found.

@Twitchi 8 лет назад

ThePidrittel I can see why you have that opinion.. but come on.. every time we have come up with new explanations for how things work we have been CERTAIN that its the right one.. and then it wasn't.. no matter how sure we were, how many theories were built upon it, a game changing Idea has come along and shown us the "other way" of looking at the same facts

@SymEof 8 лет назад

+ThePidrittel It's true that most modern theories are Quantum, but not all of them. I agree that it makes sense to reduce matter and energy to a discrete 'quantum', which is just the new "atom" (in its original sense) - so this might be the right approach, even in the long run. But I would disagree that Quantum Physics isn't a special theory, though. No Quantum theory can account for gravity in the singular cases - i.e. Quantum effects in high gravitational fields. Therefore Quantum mechanics only accounts for 3 of the 4 fundamental forces.

@Declan_Lyons 5 лет назад

It no more came from Rosalind Franklin's hands than it did from Maurice Wilkins'. Both Wilkins' and Franklin's x-ray photo's were acknowledged in Watson and Crick's paper. Their papers we're completed ahead of Watson and Crick's but published a week later so they could be peer reviewed and Linus Pauling wouldn't be able to use them for his work in identifying the structure of DNA. Once all three papers were published, a party/event was held in Cambridge acknowledging all four scientists, who were all incredibly accomplished. If you feel Franklin's work needs to be recognised on par with W&C's, then you need to also recognise Wilkins, who originally had the idea of using x-ray crystallography to photograph DNA. On a side note, Wilkins had a postgrad who was taking photos for him named Raymond Gosling. Gosling was transferred to Franklin without his knowledge. It's believed he thought he was showing W&C photos taken under his instruction, not Franklin's. All work into the study of DNA was declared open to other Cambridge researchers but the mix-up meant Franklin was never paid the professional courtesy of being asked beforehand. This is where the outrage stems from, but it wasn't such an outrage to Franklin who remained close friends with Crick and his wife, Odile, until her untimely death. The situation was exacerbated by Watson's autobiography. He and Franklin didn't get along and he repeatedly referred to her as "Rosie" in his book. People intent on being offended, however, overlook the fact that he acknowledged her as an outstanding scientist, also.

@Bob A she didn't take it for them. I think she presented her work at a seminar that w attended and didn't remember data properly and built the structure as 3 stranded. Frankline told him it was wrong. Then Wilkins showed them her research which was crucial in their discovery. She was also simultaneously close to figuring out the structure.

Withme Whostoned Elaborate on why that is funny to you.

@WithmeVerissimusWhostoned 8 лет назад

Richard Taylor I find it funny, because nothing's ever random. I find it even more funny in the respect to the idea your sentence is trying to express... _Life will randomly "try" anything it can to survive_... If you have a goal to survive, you have an objective. And one's mind and (if the entire existence of which we are just mirrors evolves by the same pattern, then) the mind or whatever consciousness is guiding the development of the life itself will methodically try anything from the list of possibilities that it knows of depending on how practical and effective they are in achieving the goal of survival. Or in other words, if there would be a gun in the room, but you'd never learned about what guns are, you wouldn't know what it is - a strange object at best. Or how it works, or what it does. Hence your mind wouldn't be able to operate or incorporate the gun into a possible plan of yours to address the upcoming situation. Or exchange the gun for an alien object... what you gonna do with it is going to be limited and paralyzed by your knowledge or the lack thereof. Randomness, on the absolute plane, cannot exist. And on our, individual planes, it's just an illusion, we use randomness cause it's easier than to admit our own ignorance.

@defenderoftheadverb 8 лет назад

Withme Whostoned _"If you have a goal to survive, you have an objective."_ Survival is not a "goal". It is a consequence of adaptive mutation. The mutation is random and prolific. Whatever can survive does survive. Evolution is not planned. It has no targets.

@ThinkLiveLaugh 8 лет назад

This is a very interesting Ted Talk, although the context is a bit hard to understand, I think the audience had a hard time as well, and his microphone may have been the reason. Basically, Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics explain the behavior of sub-atomic particles. While the experiments and proof of concepts that he showed are not new at all, he is excited to reveal that they apply to Biology as well, adding Quantum Biology as a new scientific field, due to the new experiments that can be done with Quantum Computers such as D Wave. That must be very exciting for him as his field is Biology, and they now have a whole new toolbox of tools for experimentation. However, since Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics apply to sub-atomic particles, that means that they literally apply to every single science, since they are on a smaller scale than atoms, being sub-atomic, smaller even than protons, neutrons and electrons, we are now studying the smallest building blocks of all matter that we can currently measure. Just wait until they see what they can do with Quantum Chemistry ;D. They already understand some of Quantum Mathematics in Qubits hence the first Quantum Computers. So this is his explanation with proven methods, but I would have loved to see newer research that they have done recently in Biology. Like Sebanoe's comment states, Quantum Physics will eventually explain everything, and that is because it involves all matter, and it will become a prerequisite for study of all sciences once it is better understood, as science is catching up so it can finally detect and measure with instrumentation these tiny sub-atomic particles.

It just seems to me (in my limited knowledge and 3 dimensional mind), that if something appears to go from point A to point C without transversing point B (directly bisecting points A & C), then perhaps there is another plane (dimension) for which is being traveled. Consider how a 4 dimensional "sphere" would appear to us: it would seem to grow from nothiningness to a full sphere and then disappear again. Yet the size & shape of the 4 dimensions would remain the same. I am just trying to imagine what a phonon's travel look like if it were traveling on a surface-point of an N-dimensional sphere (where N>3).

+バートレット理路 This idea makes sense. I just pointed some problems I have with it, but as I said, they're mainly theoretical. One little detail about quantum tunneling, is that the particle going from A to C through a barrier in B does passes through the barrier (according to the current well stablished theory). When physicists say "dissapears and reapears in the other side", they just oversimplifying for teaching reasons. :)

@lorezyra 8 лет назад

+Mosco Monster That sounds more like energy/wave propagation. Does the electron actually penetrate the barrier? Or, does it hit the barrier and another electron absorb the momentum and carry forward?

@MrBeiragua 8 лет назад

バートレット理路 I think it really penetrates the barrier, as you said, in a wavelike way. What the equations seem to imply is that the barrier isn't as solid in quantum mechanics as it is in our macroscopic world, since there is a non zero probability of finding the electron inside the barrier. Only an infinite energy barrier blocks the electron entirely. In real barriers, maybe this transfer of momentum occurs, but in the simplified model of one electron and a barrier on its way, it seems he just pass through it sometimes.

@TheFossie12 4 года назад

Well, critical modern science is forcing that concept into a corner and refusing to allow it to escape unless it divulges something. Often another paradox, thus creating even more questions. Curiouser and curiouser as Alice would say. Is it some sort of cosmic prank? Ancient cultures who came from even more dusty antiquity, had well established rituals to communicate with the unseen sky man via the ghost in the machine. There’s an excellent book first published circa 1970 titled (I think) ‘Secret Science behind the Iron Curtain’. Apparently, in between major wars the Russians had commissioned a team of Astralnaughts to journey out of the body and spy on American military secrets whilst remaining undetected. It required specific training. The book also contained a lot of esoteric research, scientific experiments and related historical data. Definitely not boring! Russians are pragmatic people but quite uninhibited- and if it’s there to steal, they’ll steal it. Anyway, provocative topic ...😉 thxxx

A proton can disappear from one place an re-appear to another place. Question:- Does it take time or not?

@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 6 лет назад

reverse time, from the future - precognition. For example virtual photons have been "captured' and harnessed - you just have to go faster than the linear operator of time-frequency uncertainty or Fourier Uncertainty. So the secret is nonlinear and also noncommutative that also includes relativity. De Broglie figured this out when he realized there has to be a pilot wave from the future that guides particles and this is what causes all the quantum non-local effects. When time is zero there is infinite frequency as quantum non-locality but since time is noncommutative to frequency there is eternal motion as complementary opposites based on the hidden momentum of light. So light has relativistic mass that is actually noncommtuative spacetime as the ether or negentropic, reverse time energy. This is actually a phase wave - or the 5th dimension as noncommutative phase.

it does not really disappear, as he said its tye quantum entanglement. So there are two particles tied together and if you measure one particle at a certain location you get to know the position of other at the same time. Its dope actually😉😉

+Fuvity His point is that the field of biology generally doesn't take quantum mechanics into consideration when physics on that level could play a major part in it. Did you even watch? Most of this stuff hasn't been known for atleast 35 years because a lot of these ideas are fairly recent and not enough experimenting has been done to confirm or reject these ideas that are still speculative.

@leejuicy 6 лет назад

he is right you know, quantum mechanics at level of enzymology or structural biology has always been relevant. What is new (and almost absolutely incorrect) is the idea that quantum effects play major roles in cellular processes, or at even higher levels of biological phenomena. A good example is Orch-OR theory headed by Hameroff and Penrose, which has been thoroughly (theoretically and experimentally) disproven and ridiculed by "both isles of science"-quantum physicists and neuroscientists.
