How does the nose "know"

How does the nose "know"...

...the difference between scent molecules? One of the most intriguing theories...

...it might come down to a process called inelastic quantum tunnelling...

... inelastic quantum tunnelling occurs when an electron dumps a bit of excess energy in order to tunnel to an empty energy level in a nearby atom...

...this type of tunnelling event is what triggers the firing of olfactory neurons in the nose, thus sending a signal to our brains that gives us the "experience" of smelling something. However, such tunnelling can only take place when a scent molecule is present and able to absorb the electron's excess energy – and that will only happen if one of the chemical bonds in the scent molecule has the right vibrational frequency...

...The nose isn't the only biological system with a possible quantum connection, though...

...The quantum mind or quantum consciousness...

... It posits that quantum mechanical phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function and could form the basis of an explanation of consciousness...

... Stuart Hameroff provided a hypothesis that microtubules would be suitable hosts for quantum behavior...

...In January 2014, Hameroff and Roger Penrose claimed that the discovery of quantum vibrations in microtubules by Anirban Bandyopadhyay of the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan in March 2013...

good thread

In the Blink of Bird’s Eye, a Model for Quantum Navigation

...The theory is still in its infancy, but biophysicists already have their eyes on a few chemicals that might enable the birds to detect entanglement

Take your fucking pseud garbage to /x/
Do you even know what receptor-ligand interactions

One such chemical is called cryptochrome and its potential effects already being studied.

It’s thought that that correlated pairs form in cryptochrome in the presence of blue light.

the shitpost will never end

Y u mad thou

I'm not even mad thou

Thx bae

...an exotic molecule called N@C60...

...considered to be quite a sexy, interesting, promising molecule.”...

... Entanglement could stay protected...

...longer than we thought before...

How can a living system have evolved to protect a quantum state as well

The heart and brain maintain a continuous two-way dialogue, each influencing the other’s functioning. The signals the heart sends to the brain can influence perception, emotional processing and higher cognitive functions. This system and circuitry is viewed by neurocardiology researchers as a “heart brain.”

The olifactory is the oldest stronger sense, since we're animals... Hence, the nose knows more than any other faculty. Thus, useable metaphor. D.u.h.

love these threads keep em coming

I fucking loathe this ugly whore.

Still waiting for her to show her tits and cunt.

What do you know of Moretz the Learned?
