Amazing Quantum News

At least for me this is amazing to read Discover's article on how the foundations of biology is wired by quantum mechanics. Why? Because I have had this intuition since I was around 16-17 and was both a fan of quantum mechanics, micro-biology and biochemistry. Deeply fascinated with both photosynthesis, the citric acid cycle and the wave/particle duality. In photosynthesis the quantum wave field operates to find the most effecient route of transport for the incoming light/energy by at quantum level run through all existing possibilities and when the most effecient route is found, the wave field collapses and become the macro-reality - the energy will be transported. The article even suggests that our consciousness is a quantum mechanical phenomenon. And this is even more fantastic for me because in my dramatic writing I constantly come back to a sense that the potential outcomes of a situation is something our consciousness has the ability to fathom almost like we have such a wave field, like examining all possibilities at a subconscious level, and then collapse them into our decision of what actually to do. This also goes hand in hand with my  theory of what a basic 'genius-quality' really is - that you are not afraid to be in a state of the unknown, that you are open to the unexpected opportunity. And if our consciousness really operates at the quantum level, then this genius-quality would precisely fascilitate getting most out of a quantum process. Now I am beginning to wonder how quantum physics will connect with my latest pet-science branch: Self-organizing critical systems.
