io9 reports on a recent Scientific American article that suggests that plants use quantum entanglement in photosynthesis. The mind doth boggle. The original Scientific American article is here.
A recent article in Scientific American suggested that plants use quantum entanglement in photosynthesis. What can this mean? The answer is more (and less) than expected. Take a quick look at quantum entanglement and find out why.
Quick Quantum Entanglement Facts:
a) Quantum entanglement happens when the quantum status of two particles is intertwined, like two cats in a sack.
b) As with two cats in a sack, determining the state of one particle (say, by lightly nudging the sack with your toe until one side twitches and says ?
