Quantum Computing Day 3: Does an Explanation of Higher Brain Function require...

If pattern recognition is "ewmunn ttiipe taawsks" then what the fuck are rats doing? don't other animals do the same thing?

why not then generalize instead of perpetuating bullshit species-centric thinking ingrained in most imperial western minds ???

ewmunn ...

LOL what's funny though is that the particles seem to know when your trying to measure them than they disappear like they have their own intelligence.

it's because we create our reality through thought, we think of measuring particles, and then we can measure them, because we have created the reality of being able to measure them, when we are not thinking of them, they become possibilities, and are not in one single position, until we measure them.

I imagine this is something science will never figure out, until they come to terms with the fact that we do create our reality. then it will make more sense, right now, it's madness to them.

I'll explain quantum computing using binary code. As we all know binary code is either a 1 or 0. With quantum computing their are 3 spins that the electron can be in. A spin 1 state, spin 0 state, or at both spin 1 and 0 at the same time. Lets take an example with three bits, obviously their are 8 combinations that the computer must cycle through to process them, with quantum computing, having both states at once means 1 line of code can process all 8 states in one processing cycle vs 8.

wrong :S

No actually it's correct, that's why quantum computing is super fast compared to normally computing. The fact that you are using electrons in both 1 and 0 spin states means that you can represent 1 and 0 at the same time in that state. Lets say you wanted to represent all binary combos from 0000 to 1111, normally their are 15 processes needed to display as you need to move to 0001 than 0010 so on, with QC you can in one process represent all 15 binary combinations at once. Read QC books buddy.

This talk feels wrong on too many levels.

He compares two boxes, a 'quantum' box that we don't understand and a 'classical' box that we don't understand either. He then proceeds to argue that the effect of certain drugs fit the quantum box better than the classical box. But how can you argue this without a physical or at least computational description of the box? Now it just depends on how much magic you assign to each box.

I agree the discussion needs to get back to a small set of neurons.

atoms arent functional units of the brain

brain: operates on a strategic scale, millions of neurons generate thoughts thoughout large parts of the brain. quantum mechanical source of thought here ? nah, bullshit

oh, and ill quote myself as some google fanboys downvoted my statement of pwnage:

Scientists have most recently proven that thoughts and decision are formed up to 10 seconds before the person even becomes aware of them. Quantum states are not stable for 10 seconds.
