Experimental Studies on a Single Microtubule (Google Workshop on Quantum Biology)

[UterusSpacecraft]

Microtubule research is the future! also lol at the guy not understanding the most basic shit and asking the dumbest question ever. Does he not grasp what a topological qubit is at all?

[cameronmichaelkeys]

if this computational capacity has evolved, what is it used for? how does this capacity for near perfect information storage and energy transfer without loss, and exotic computation influence the proteome and glycome? how does it interface with informatics in the DNA? the quest for realism is so vast. how also does this research combine with Dr. Bandyopadhyay's work on Nano Brains and the future of human-machine interfacing? ...

Dr. Anirban says microtubules are not like semiconductors, insulators, or metals. The computer is held up as the model of information processing, and this is the basis for philosophical arguments about computation, cognitivism, et cetera. If microtubule is not functioning like the models the philosophers are bickering over, how can their conclusions be relevant to computation in human biology? VERY IMPORTANT. Dr. Anirban must show how microtubules compute, i.e. what is their "syntax".

I wish there were subtitles

it's very interesting but I'm having some trouble with his accent :[

I wish there was something like "Google eductor" where one can get a free education in any field in informatics

that will be AWESOME
