Today’s Biology Lesson.   … from the Quantum World. To me this is all brand new.   Nothing like this was taught when I took biology class. A. You know many birds migrate long distances each year.   What is not well understood is how.   But it is generally assumed they use the earth’s magnetic field – somehow.   This is now explained using modern physics, particularly quantum physics.   It is through the process of quantum entanglement , where two distant photons (light particles) are instantly entangled with each other no matter the distance between them.   Already observed only recently in the physics lab, it is now apparently so in the biology lab for a species of Robin, and the way the photons of light entangle depends on the magnetic field. And this is how the bird chooses its flight direction. BTW, a one-eyed robin could not migrate because it couldn’t get direction information. B. You know smells, and you know not a lot of molecules are needed to stimulate a smell. Be

Schrödinger’s cat* can be expanded to Schrödinger’s universe .   In fact, we could well reason that the universe is, in fact, a rather large probability distribution of entities. Even the smallest probabilities are a part of this – such as those of the cat’s wave equation.   Simplify this notion by asking, “If there is a universe and nobody observes it, does it exist as we observe it?” The simple answer is no, but the deeper answer is this implies time may not exist.  Time may well be an observational illusion of a particular path within this distribution. The path creates its own physics of its unique universe, with the common factor being gravity between them all. This becomes the particular universe observed by us with the path creating its own dimension of time. Bottom line: Time a path-wise artifact.  It is difficult to unshackle thinking from process and therefore from  time .   * From Wikipedia: Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a  radioacti
