2:30 Am time for sleep RU-vid: Quantum Biology

I just want to say that I absolutely love this. I'm both mind-blown, entertained and inspired. As a mere psych student I still feel like I understood a whole lot of it, and they even made some psych references. And the way they talked about children having an intuitive understanding of quantum stuff made me think of theory-theory and this quote: "It's not that children are little scientists - it's that scientists are big children."

I just started enjoying watching this with closed captioning but 20 minutes in, it stopped working. I hope this can be fixed so I can watch the whole segment. Absolutely loved what was mentioned already so far. Thank you all for putting this together!

The number of times I've heard "we don't know" and "partially understood" gives me hope for science.

i feel lucky to be able to watch this at the comfort of my home.

What a way, it's amazing how the moderator handle it. Sensible, respectful and very sophisticated interruptions with a fantastic sense of humor.

When you find a science panel with that kind of audio quality you know it's going to be good.

I learnt so much on RU-vid over the years it's like I did a whole college degree

The more I hear “I don’t know,” and “I don’t have all the answers,” from people, the more I trust what they do tell me. We don’t know where we’ll end up, or whether we’re even asking the most helpful questions, but I know the path forward has to involve as many varied minds in the process as possible, like scientists from very different fields looking at how their disciplines converge and create outcomes together. The video also reminds me that the most successful processes in life, biologically speaking, as in human organizational structures, are not found by pursuing one path dogmatically, but by experimenting down multiple paths until you find the one that gives you even the slightest advantage as an entire species. That slight advantage can make the difference between life and death, even if it’s only realized thousands of generations from now, but only if we keep our focus and minds open wide.

I don’t really understand how they are debating how much quantum is present in biology, when quantum governs all of chemistry.

Every time consciousness comes to the fore, "let's not go there". Then, everybody gets puzzled because no one is able to get anywhere. Fascinating.

I’m a simple man. I see Quantum, I click!

"One person's noise may be another person's signal" ... that's a good one.

I am SO grateful that someone else finally said “we assume natures goal is to be efficient but we don’t actually know that”

Interesting video. The one thing I didn't hear brought up is the biological quantum relationship with memory. If everything we have ever observed, no matter how, smell, visual, hear, or touch, means we have become quantumly entangled, then it would, at least, help explain how the birds use these other tools. Memory is the most important. Everything biological has memory. Even photosynthesis could not occur without this relationship. I am kind of an enthusiast in autism, and the "spectrum". There isn't room here to discuss all this. These are just my thoughts. Loved the video.

Was asleep with earbuds on and this came on randomly. Had a dream that I was at a quantum physics festival in Switzerland operating an ear-piercing booth. I used quantum tunneling to get bird feathers painlessly through ear lobes using some sort of energy frequency stabilizer to equalize the two different biological structures. Woke up to this! Lol😂 i had been listening to this for an hour and 20 minutes and knew nothing of quantum physics or biology prior to this video subliminally entering my conscience.😂😂😂😂

There is far more into quantum biology than the basic biological processes. I think everybody have experienced the situation multiple times when you think about someone and that person calls you right away. This is not random, our brains can establish entanglement without us even knowing it. Every person can tell when he is being stared at, the same situation here. You and your friend keep saying the same sentences in the very exact moment? Incredible timing! Your brains have been entangled and reacted to their perception of reality in the same way. There are hundreds of examples in our everyday life. Deep meditation and general mindfulness can help us get closer to understanding all of this. Observe how your thoughts appear as a reaction to what happens outside. Yes, a lot of them just appear out of nowhere. Pay attention to subtle feelings that tell you things. They are not random, your whole body is connected to The everything and it knows much better than your conscious mind. We are all quantum entities and the science made us think that we are just flesh and bones.

The scientist in grayish blue is insane, almost out of some cartoon show, and the way he laughs is hysterical. I enjoyed every bit, such content is a delight!!!

The fact that I had these theories when I was 12, 15 years ago, proves to me that not only was I on the right path, but this must mean millions of people already independently came up with the core principles of that concept long ago as well.

I really do appreciate the WSF putting these talks on RU-vid. Thank you.

I feel like you can pretty much mix any other subject with biology and it is intriguing. Because without biology how could we think about it....think about it

I'm so glad James Woods is the presenter. Perfect comedic taste performaned here.

This was a phenomenally moderated session. Serious kudos to John.

It's really weird that the actual significant subjects are being suggested at late hours when the body is kind of tired but the mind is ready to go beyond infinitely... Must come back. Blessed be our sense of wonder and willingness (and ability) to understand things.

I am very thankful for this presentation, I was afraid I was the only one that was pondering these ideas specifically concerning microbiology. Specifically the ability of bacterium changing their polarity quickly through chemical absorption of charged ions that are easily available through their outer cell wall causing that microbe to move, in a since, chemically. That would explain the speed of its movement as if turning on and off a light. In effect, just by changing of polarity of a biome would move it through time and space while leaving it's structure idle, at its point of origin, but alter the quality of a distant biome into the parent's original quality. In this accomplishing the quantum speeds. Said energy in itself could then be transferred into movement, pressure fluctuation to force fluid movement or constriction, as well as color change. We see this in octopus or the movement of photophilic plant cells. Great discussion.

Wow! This is mind boggling! Imagine watching that conference live, so much of it would be missed, I love to be able to pause/rewind.

I studied animal development as part of my biology degree and an important part of early development was the establishment of various axes(anteroposterior, dorsoventral, proximal-distal and bilateral axis). These are established via chemical gradients and help individual cells navigate during development so they always know where they are. I could easily imagine that this developmental mechanism could be used in relation to migrating birds as an evolutionary adaptation.

Why is there even a question that biological process is a separate phenomenon. Quantum mechanics should be thought of as status quo in the creation process of anything. We have to shed our lego-style/rational thinking. How we define biology must change. Biology/chemistry/ physics all one entity.

I understand the need to isolate what you are studying, but that is not how it occurs in nature, so we miss many things in such a study. Just as we isolate vitamins and put them into pills, but what makes them actually work is everything else that is in the food from where it came. we may learn something by isolating, but then we must study the connections with everything else, and that goes on to include everything in the world, especially since what you are studying in the first place has no "real" spacial coordinates at any particular time and is entangled with literally everything else. Since we cannot possibly study everything at once, we must include at least the quantum SYSYEM in a plant, or bird, for example. Thank you for this. Each time I watch it, I gain more understanding of this beautiful topic. I LOVE The World Science Festival!

this entire talk is an absolute delight

This is the most metaphysical scientific conversation ive ever heard

Been reading some Ancient Greek Philosophy and the Stoics had a beautiful arguement for the existence of atoms based on our sense of smell.They argued that since we can smell different perfumes from different flowers that these perfumes must consist of invisible yet solid particles impacting our noses.A beautiful arguement for the existence of atoms wouldn't you say.

Incredibly well-moderated. He added so much to the discussion.

Wow, it is hard not to be impressed everyone in this conversation is so humble. Let the knowledge talk!

This is amazing and really interesting. I got so lost because I have insufficient scientific education to follow this completely but it is fascinating to me and I really enjoyed this video. I have saved it and will play it over and over again to try and understand it. I love the humor and the very clear way they are trying to explain this to the layman. It is wonderful that they have this on youtube so we can all explore this amazing subject.

I love it when scientists say, "I don't know ". Not knowing , makes my curiosity peak! I want to know as little as them.

I've watched this several times & when the host says "let's not be a *boor-on* " is my favorite part😂

I love it when they say ‘quirky’ thing happens in nature. Nothing is quirky in nature. It happens for a reason and it happens right in front of us. We are far from understanding many things in biology. We are in the pre-school of understanding nature.

Currently I’m in Grade 11 Biology in High School. I’ve always felt that my thinking processing was beyond the average teenager my age. I find it hard to be engaged in my class because I know there is more information we’re not covering than we are. I’ve found Quantum Biology though, exactly what I was searching for... the deepest explanations of the natural world and life.

Shout out to the person who subtitled this just thank you so much

The history of Earth was superbly done, thank you all for that. I have a Google account and would be happy to help.

"Do you guys just stick quantum in front of everything?" YES

I don't think I can never say the word 'coherence' again without moving my arms like an epileptic octopus after this video.

I watched a video with Dr Tyson who remarked how often the word "Quantum" gets misused or abused, listening to this video I have a much better appreciation for what he said. :D

I’m sitting here in a remote railroad signal box, I’ve got 360 degree views.the ocean in front of me with the sun glinting on the calm waters, behind me are the mountains and either side are beautiful meadows with wild flowers as far a you can see. I’m watching this video and then outside and my conclusion is that this can’t be an accident of evolution. I’m convinced that this is a deliberate manifestation 👍

Excellent! We need more of these kinds of programs!

I'm really impressed by the simplistic way such a complex subject is explaied to a layman. I want to really keep receiving all such presentations in future

Anyone notice how these(intelligent)individuals would defer to one another even though they knew about the subject being talked about? I only wish society could talk to eachouther with the level of civility, respect, humor.. not to mention knowledge; that was presented in this video. Fantastic!

Take note: At 52:00, the assertion is made that cellular biology, especially how DNA directs construction of its copy during mitosis, is "incredibly complex". This should answer my critics who say I'm overstating the facts when I refer to DNA as a 4D molecule. It functions like a computer program, or at least like a program controller within a cell.

1:24:22 is fascinating. Basically scientists with the same data, went from believing life came about only once to coming about innumerable times. No data changed, nothing, only the beliefs of the scientists. Fascinating.

"All you need to do to do biology is copy information." That one hurt

I was watching a documentary,fell asleep and woke up to this video.Well thank you youtube.👏🏽

It seems to me that as the sun's aspect to Earth changes due to the Earth's orbit, the energy or something about the photon may be changed prior to the photon striking the leaf, thus changing whether the process of photosynthesis is transferring more or less from point A to point B. The aspect difference may be due to how much of the Earth's atmosphere the photon needs to travel through before it encounters the leaf, thus determining whether the tree's leaf production is growing, as in Spring, or causing the leaf production to diminish, change colors, and fall off, as in Fall.

Great conversation overall. Wondering.. birds, as well as humans, have magnatite in their beaks/noses that detect the magnetic field and help them navigate. Why is this not part of the discussion?

Loving this, love how different fields of science tie in together to allow a bigger picture.

I just realized that the stages background is an abstraction of quantum tunneling in chlorophyll. It's green and the divider is curved in an abstract wave-and the clincher is that the wave jumps across a gap. Above that gap, there's a hanging in the shape of a wave! Clever!

I wish I understood half of what these scientists do. I do not have a scientific mind, but I enjoyed this discussion.

1:08:10 you don't need "tunneling" if you have resonance. Resonance doesn't need the transfer of a "particle". It's just a wave which causes another wave to vibrate sympathetically. You probably need the concept of the "aether" for that vibration to propagate, though.

Every time one of these guys makes a "joke" and then laughs at his own cleverness ... a quiet sense of creeping desperation scrapes my soul.

"do you put quantum in front of everything"-ant man

What an amazing moderator! His comedy is gold! Edited to say the whole panel rocks! This was so interesting.

Seems like life is building upwards forever in this complex, intelligent, and energy conserving way from this void of repeated numbers and “missing” numbers (or particles). Coming back to this video after studying a bit more about vortex mathematics is super interesting.

Is nobody going to talk about how charming that intro was?

I only have a ged and I'm into all these speakers and lectures I love to learn in my own way..when I was young I messed up my schooling if I could do it again I would but these videos given me things to think about and I love them..thank you for posting

...the numbers of likes and dislikes are fascinating...Quantum Mechanics...truly divisive...and in that aspect...quite contemporary 😐 and thank you kindly...much appreciated.

Thank you for being the light for our minds!

I love that guys laugh. You all know which guy I'm talking about.

This stuff is what makes RU-vid beautiful. I mean I also follow RU-vid drama like it’s a reality tv show but omfg I love this science and knowledge sharing too

Great intro 🔥🔥🔥 really made a complex topic more digestible and even humorous

I left my computer on to drain the battery so I could install ram in the morning. I need to run sequel and only have 8gb when I should have a minimum of 12gb. Bought 2 16 gb dual channel for the fix. I woke up to this and have been unable to fall back asleep due to the simplistic explanation to a complex topic. We used to have professors like this at my Uni. Now our university more closely resembles a diploma mill. Makes me want to request a transfer to the city.

I love to watch this, from the stage of not knowing things until the end stage that where I realize i know nothing. 😐

Life to a physicist looks like magic. Love it

Our WorldSciFest commentator John does a most wonderful job of keeping this circus going making the show delightful entertainment.

Excellent union of biology and quantum mechanics . This reinforces the Quantum physics more then explaining the biological phenomenon .the planks constant defines the smallest particle and also observable/experiment -able particle size is smaller then bacteria hence it has to be sub cellular level and the sensing element of birds brain cells will be very interesting .great discussion and great moderation .

Awwww, how much greater would this panel have been if Jim Al-Khalili was here? Really elegant speaker on this topic

really/ half the People in the audience at a Quantum Biology lecture do not know they are a biological entity. Damn what the hell happened to our Academia ,bright minds of the world and this is our future? Gods throwing dice, awesome lol. Thank you Dr H. You made learning fun again.

It's becoming more and more evident that we are all CONNECTED including the animals plants stars and planets according to what I've learned the same old Adoms that were in the Nova star explosion run through our bodies

I Love this. The Bird sensing the magnetic field reminds me of the artic snow fox hunting mice and being able to catch mice easier when facing north; because of the magnetic fields.

It's so beautiful how the universe is so mysterious to us! And it doesn't have to be predictable or fully understood because that's the fundamental nature of chaos, and chaos is what led to life.

Thank you so very much indeed. My baseline conclusion is that we all just need to be humble. Political, religious, and cultural truth might just be quatic... We only thing we MIGHT know that we know nothing, really. Keep the great work!!!

What I've gathered thus far from this discussion is that we have phenomena that interact in different ways to bring about an effect whether desired or not, explainable or not. Some factors that contribute to each interaction are temperature, magnetism, sound, color, time, and vibration to name a few physical events. The thing is for each biological organism is affected or interacts with each physical event in different ways. The example of the migrating geese got me thinking. Would geese raised in captivity and are released somewhere in the wild in another country would they return to the place they were rared during their migration period?

honestly, all fields of science should converge. People are so specialized that the need an idealist that can bring them all together to really achieve true understanding and advancements. its is great and hilarious! loved it.

Amazing work from the moderator

This was 6 years ago?!? Are there any updates on any of these topics? String theory and quantum mechanics are my favorite science topics and I feel like a see a convergence (ha) of these coming 🤔

6:32 starts here (skip lengthy intro with overly theatrical rhetoric)

Wow that was an eye opener! Shows the power of evolutionary biology...doesn't care about labels, just reality.

THIS JUST LEADS TO A SINGLE CREATOR FOR LIFE AND PHYSICS

I wonder how much more has been discovered for the passed X years, since the upload of this video.

Totally understand about the issues about perfumes.

The talk on bird brains@33: reminds me of a deep thought I had about Blackbird behaviour, I observed a blackbird comedown from a tree onto my fence, then from there into my garden, it strarted pecking at the ground for about 5-10 seconds and pulled from the ground a WORM, I was amazed that it knew the worm was there under ground from the tree tops, these birds also sing every morning at dawn ( hence the expression DAWN CHORUS) I asked myself are these clever birds singing to the Creator, it was then I understood that life & intelligence permeates the entire universe at different levels, Jesus taught us “I AM THE LIGHT AND THE LIFE”

the audio seem so low that I have to rev up my volume all the way. captions are also not there in all the length of the video

I was never a fan of biology. But after watching this and all the Spark documentary on quantum biology, I am really interested to know the subject. I am a physics major who doesn't know much biology. Any book suggestions?

This entire book is being written while under the influence of 2 grams of psilocybin mushrooms taken every six hours. I have been taking these mushrooms to treat cluster headaches that I developed when I was 20 years old. I tried every treatment method possible but mushrooms were the only thing that brought me relief. I believe the reason these mushrooms are giving me relief is because it kills the colonies of candida in our stomachs by outcompeting it on a cellular level. I have a theory that the yeast candida sets up colonies inside your stomach that attach to your nervous system and are able to influence mood, personality, intelligence and overall health. I believe that candida enters our system through the use of alcohol, particularly hard alcohol. When yeast produces alcohol it goes dormant, but it doesn’t die. When we consume candida it enters our stomachs where it is able to come back to life and set up mycelial networks in our stomachs that attach to our central nervous system. Our stomachs speak to our brains via the central nervous system and I believe candida sets up a mycelial network that takes over our central nervous system like a parasite. I believe this parasite is responsible for a range of negative emotions including depression, anger, jealousy, resentment, possessiveness, violence, the need for destruction, anxiety and every negative human emotion. It is primarily responsible for fear and skepticism which you are experiencing right now while reading this book. Hard alcohol is called spirits because ancient people realized that it contained an intelligence. The use of plant medicine was able to free peoples minds from the grip of hard alcohol. This knowledge was lost to time, but this is the the theory that I believe. I believe that candida can mutate cells and is responsible for cancer. The reason science hasn’t been able to detect candida poisoning is that our entire society is suffering from candida poisoning and it is clouding our judgment as a society. In addition I believe when we try to pull a single cell of candida out of our bodies it dies when exposed to oxygen. To study the entire colony of candida in our systems we need further understanding of the way our central nervous system functions. I believe with further investigation my theory will be proven correct. I would urge the entire scientific community and world to band together to be able to test this theory with the use of the scientific method and hard data. I believe the reason society is so afraid of psilocybin mushrooms is because candida is influencing our thoughts and telling us that it will kill the colonies of candida in our bodies. This is why mushrooms smell so bad and taste so bad. Candida is able to control our thoughts by attaching to neurons in our brains via a branched mycelial network. Our brains are a branched mycelial network and evolved from fungus. This is why our bodies are mostly foreign microorganisms. Intelligence stems from networks of communication and candida has its own intelligence. This is why it’s able to influence our thoughts, the parasitic fungus is using it’s intelligence to control our thoughts and perception of reality. I believe candida is responsible for many of the terrible concepts that have been thought up over the course of human existence such as religion, war, slavery, ownership, currency, economics, nuclear weapons, sexual taboos, marriage, country and racial divisions, racism and every negative concept that is destroying our planet and dividing our species. I believe that these terrible ideas were all thought up while in a drunken state. Alcohol is dissociative and I believe that when you are drunk candida is literally taking over your body. This is also the reason you black out when you drink, the candida has total control at that point. The intelligence behind candida is obviously malevolent and seems to be hell bent on destroying the planet. I believe as a society we are all collectively suffering from candida poisoning. The reason I am able to see this information is because of the psilocybin that I am consuming. Psilocybin mushrooms contain their own intelligence and it appears to be peaceful, serene and hell bent on saving the planet and our species from extinction. I believe Vladimir Putin is suffering from extreme candida poisoning and it is causing him to put events in motion events that will lead to nuclear annihilation and the end of life on this planet as we know it. I believe the psilocybin mushrooms I am eating are trying to save the world from extinction. I feel possessed while writing a book but I realize now that it is the intelligence of the psilocybin showing me the true nature of reality. The side effects of consuming psilocybin have given me clarity of thought and mind. They have also removed all negative emotions that I once possessed and I have never felt more peaceful and intelligent. I want to save the world and humanity from extinction but I now know my thoughts and actions are being driven by a mushroom that is trying to save society from an evil candida colony that is corrupting our minds, bodies and souls. I also meditate and I believe that it has given me the awareness to receive a message from the psilocybin that has given me answers to some fundamental questions about reality and the nature of life. I would ask the reader to please and kindly keep an open mind while reading this book. I would ask you to please abandoned your preconceived notions of social structures, morality, religion, sexuality, aliens, the origins of life, physics, drug policies, health and fitness, plant medicine, what happens when we die, fungus the fungal family and psilocybin mushrooms, war, poverty, economics, climate change, currency, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, political structures, ownership, food production systems, psychology, love, consciousness, evolution, marriage and domestic partnerships. This book will cover all of these topics in detail and will hopefully usher in a new era of peace, love and harmony with nature. I know that many people will be skeptical of this theory but you should seriously ask yourself if that is that candida poisoning effecting your mind and judgement. It's ok to accept that we don't know everything. I accept that I don't know everything and am simply offering up theories that need to put to the test using the scientific method. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and we need to collectively gather proof to test these theories.

In science just remember: _NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING FOR SURE_ proving something *yourself* is the BEST START for any young scientist. Don't let them bully you into accepting their rubbish - if it sounds at all fishy *CARRY OUT YOUR OWN RESEARCH*

Exciting time we are in to be at the forefront of the next major technological breakthroughs and how we overall live our lives.

I know someone who can see these particles at certain stages of time...he has seen many of these things spoken about here and can describe with detail what the particles do (the problem is he doesn't know the names of them) for example...there is one type he has described to me that looks like an extremely fine translucent drizzle but travels at the speed of a pelting downpour of rain, always East towards West an approximate angle of 10° or away from the sun towards the ground (Southern Hemisphere) He says that they all look alike or the same even after the interaction that takes place anywhere between 200mm - 1500mm from the ground. What he says he's observed right in front of him (so close he can see clearly) is this...at any time between the distance I've mentioned above approximately 25% of them (these Particles individually) will just completely stop in mid air then rapidly speed down & collide onto the top of another which has a electrical spark type reaction which causes the the one speeding down to arch off up and sideways creating a light blueish white trail that fades quickly, similar to like what you see from a meteor...at which point it continues on traveling at the flow that they are going...no visual change of appearence occurs to either of the two involved in this action...he says that this rapid collision happens within a maximum distance of 200mm but also that the collider either stops briefly if they are moving together or will wait for one suitable to pass then come down from above....always from above. He also says there are different types many different types which include some that look like the Aurora Australis when at a distance (fluresent green) against the backdrop of the night sky but when closer it/they are fluresent yellow & at interaction level they each strobe a brilliant whitish & they don't move like a mist or cloud, he says they appear & disappear up to you & when surrounded & within the warm calm but exciting atmosphere they create, time slows to half speed with again a swishing type faint white trail (that he could see coming off his fingers when dragging his hands through the air) also sound was replaced by the sound of being alike (he describes as) like being under water out in the deep ocean, the very deep ocean feeling was the sound he could hear...he said this happened on the 23/03/2020 after he in disbelief watched a Star implode (above him slightly North of his location)he said that everywhere was like a enormous camera flash for a millisecond & if you had blinked you would've thought your eyes were just playing up...there's more things for some reason he's able to do.. but he says it's not him its not like that but that I can't say here. I hope if nothing else you found reading this entertaining & just be assured I wouldn't go to the trouble of typing this up on my phone for a joke that's not funny...my mate is telling the truth he says it's definitely not good to make things up about this topic as hes seen thingsat play and so have many others around him. Thanks

Does anyone else fall asleep to this kind of stuff hoping that you somehow understand it when you wake up? Like positive affirmations but instead it's shit you don't understand. Or is it just me?

Great job by the moderator. Not only the great wit, but he really helped tie-in, explain, and segue a not-so-easy subject matter. Well done, and thank you.
