Interesting how you can see the security beliefs in the article that Jason (I think) posted about Hameroff's ideas about quantum consciousness. Quanta have really become the get out clause of the modern world, probably because it's not well understood and is often a bit weird. It's no excuse

In considering how the Wikipedia entry for quantum defines 'quantum' one wonders how it could be stretched to attempt to explain so many odd ideas QUANTUM: In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental

Especially when you consider the unlikelihood of quantum events stacking up or meaning something. According to my book, a subatomic particle can be anywhere in the universe at any time but the chances of finding a single electron 1cm away from where it's most likely to be are so small you'd

Another thing about the Penrose/Hammeroff theory, as Stenger observed, is that the microtubules that these quantum events are supposed to cohere in are too large for the particles to communicate or stack up. And even if they did the brain is too hot to allow it, quantum freakiness is

Salyavin, You have to remember that a theory is not a proven scientific fact. Penrose or Hammeroff can talk quantum theories until the cows come home. But they haven't proved a thing.

Is this where you and Rita got that fake security camera? Yes, we got the fake security camera at a local store in San Antonio. It looks really real even up close. It has a blinking red LED and swivels left to right based on motion sensing. $7.95 at Harbor Freight Tools. This cam we got from

Our next door neighbor installed several expensive security cameras all around his house, with some motion detecting lighting. He's also got a pit bull in the yard and a fence all around, even in the front of his house. Go figure. TurquoiseB *Hard not to take that personally. :-)*
