#2This is and incredibly fascinating read! Thanks for posting.

#3That claim about DNA, mutations and quantum effects - well it makes the paper less credible. DNA and its replication and mutations are largely non-quantum and it is also not true at all that in DNA every matters; minor alterations of the do not produce invalid code.

#4"The colour of your eyes, the shape of your nose, your intelligence or propensity for disease are encoded at the quantum level."
Uh, nope.

#5Each of the main points of the article has the feel that the conclusions are speculative wrt quantum mechanics -- any experts able to comment on them? Feels like an article over-selling inconclusive results.

#6"The colour of your eyes, the shape of your nose, your intelligence or propensity for disease are encoded at the quantum level." Uh, nope.
That quote instantly makes me lose any credibility in the author. Is he/she really that ignorant of basic biology, or am I misunderstanding something?

#8Well, being surprised that "quantum physics is everywhere" is like being surprised every computer program runs on machine code. Surely you didn't think transistors run JavaScript natively? Quantum physics isn't a weird part of reality, it's the reality (or, to be precise, a low-level model of it).

#9I suppose its like using some inline assembler. Most of the time C/C++ can do it but sometimes you need a dash of asm.

And quantum physics will stop being weird once we get its rule set (lightning and thunder had God status, once).
