Re: implications of the brain as a quantum computer?

In my own rudimentary thought process, I distinguish active and passive as having the ability to control the quantum mind to interface, encode, and manipulate our environment versus ... whatever we do now, if quantum mechanics apply to brain function.

It's a comic book. Basically I want to come up with a scenario that allows my characters to be able to actively manipulate a localized pocket of space-time. By manipulate, I specifically mean that characters will be able to speed up that pocket of space-time, which includes themselves, so that they will be faster than anyone else outside that pocket. That may present a ton of time paradox scenarios which I haven't even considered yet. I just want to see if there's any kind of theoretical way for a quantum brain to be able to interface with the universe first of all.

I can go the way of ad hoc (after all, I mean, nobody has much of a problem with superman ...) but that's no fun . I work for a company that contracts to DARPA and I know they are in love with Spintronics. I just can't wrap my head around their equation heavy material.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
