If you are interested in Dean Radin's work relative to quantum entanglement you will probably be interested in this piece titled "Entangled Life" by Mark Anderson in Discover magazine(February 2009). He reviews contemporary experiments in biophysics that explore the influence of quantum effects in living systems: "Could quantum mechanisms be driving some of the most elegant and inexplicable processes of life?

For years experts doubted it: Quantum phenomena typically reveal themselves only in lab settings, in vacuum chambers chilled to near absolute zero. Biological systems are warm and wet. Most researchers thought the thermal noise of life would drown out any quantum weirdness that might rear its head. Yet new experiments keep finding quan­­tum processes at play in biological systems, says Christopher Altman, [alumnus researcher from European futurist think-tank Starlab, now pursuing applied physics and quantum information science at Kavli Institute of Nanoscience in Delft, The Netherlands]. With the advent of powerful new tools like femtosecond [10-15 second] lasers and nanoscale-precision positioning, life’s quantum dance is finally coming into view."

Hi Bob,
Thanks for posting this story. I am excited that technology has advanced to the point of us being able to find evidence of quantum-level events in the macro world under mostly normal conditions.

One of the things that I find most interesting about entanglement during quantum-level events is very close to the nature of how a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) acts. Of course, a BEC can only exist at near zero temperatures, but it has one very unique characteristic. Individual particles loose their identity and act as a whole. In other words, it becomes one "thing" such as a superconductor or a superfluid.

Among animals, there are examples of this type of event. When a school of fish is swimming in a "ball" and the whole thing suddenly changes direction. Or when a flock of birds flys in swirling concert with one another. In biology, we see that the individual "units" of the body work in concert to support the whole organism. These are the same concepts found in quantum-level events.

I look forward to the new insights these emerging technologies will give us.

. . . MaAnna, we have invited the author of this article Mark Anderson to our June 10th IONS New Options Community Group meeting. He will be participating in our discussion of his article. It should be an insight loaded meeting.

Thank you for your continuing interest.

Warm regards,

Bob
