A recent study argues that the characteristics of the quantum world could be linked to large molecules such as DNA. As can be seen, it has a quite peculiar structure, shaped like a helix and also with a specific spin, similar to the default spin of galaxies in the cosmos that lacks explanation.
So the architecture of the molecules can be a determining factor in these quantum properties, an example is graphene, it is a material that is composed of a layer of atoms, only a thick layer of carbon atoms, normal and ordinary carbon like that of a pencil or like the one that forms us, but if you put together several layers and rotate them in a certain way you get different properties, so the architecture of the molecules can be something relevant when it comes to accessing these types of quantum effects, which in the case of DNA, well They are very good for doing what it does, replicating and transmitting information.
The interesting thing about this research is that it proposes a method to verify it, because theories can be very theoretical, when they stop being very theoretical is when they begin to provide evidence, it is laborious, I recognize it and part of obtaining evidence is designing an experiment, it is the most ingenious part of science, being able to design experiments.
The experiment that this researcher proposes is to look for molecules that can enter into quantum superposition, because we already know some, but not as big as DNA and which ones are not and which ones are, compare their size, compare their dispersion and compare their structure and thus have a scheme, a map to know what makes a molecule capable of taking advantage of quantum effects, of connecting with the quantum world.
It is possible that the structure of the molecule is the key factor, so that a molecule as large as DNA could access these types of qualities, according to the researcher closes his work with the following phrase: "The frontier of the quantum world could be right there, in our own cells."
It would be amazing because this also links with some theories that affirm that consciousness is ultimately a quantum phenomenon, I know, that the term quantum is used lately for everything, but in this case I am not going away from what the researcher says and the thing about consciousness comes from a Nobel Prize winner, Roger Penrose.
Roger Penrose has put forward a theory about consciousness that proposes that it is not simply a result of molecular chance, but involves quantum processes at the level of microtubules within neurons. His theory, formulated jointly with Stuart Hameroff, proposes that consciousness arises from the "orchestrated objective reduction" (Orch OR) of quantum coherence in these microtubules, as well as in other molecules with very specific molecular structures.
