The Quantum Side of Your Life
Prologue Light Without light, you can’t see. Those who believe only in what they can touch can’t feel the light. Light powers life, flowers, oceans, animals, the earth, and your life. Light is such a beautiful word. It illuminates your body, your emotions, your thoughts, your soul. When you are in the dark, when you stumble, when you get lost, you panic, you fall, you give in. Thus, the blind can’t lead the blind; you need someone that can see the light. Light is a vibration frequency that travels at an unreachable speed, and, as Einstein said, any matter that travels at its speed turns into energy. This means light is transformative. And if one day, when you give up on resisting, you stop believing you are just matter and ego and you want to let that light enter through the window of your thoughts and emotions and then it illuminates your darkness, your haze; you will certainly wake up and say: “I am a purely energetic being, made of atoms and particles that travel at the speed of light and shines like it. And as such, I have come to play my part, just going through life, to keep transforming myself, like light itself.
Quantum Aspects of Life
This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology. In a timely way, it sets out a distinct quantum biology agenda. The burgeoning fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, quantum technology, and quantum information processing are now strongly converging. The acronym BINS, for Bio-Info-Nano-Systems, has been coined to describe the synergetic interface of these several disciplines. The living cell is an information replicating and processing system that is replete with naturally-evolved nanomachines, which at some level require a quantum mechanical description. As quantum engineering and nanotechnology meet, increasing use will be made of biological structures, or hybrids of biological and fabricated systems, for producing novel devices for information storage and processing and other tasks. An understanding of these systems at a quantum mechanical level will be indispensable.
A Quantum Life
In this inspiring coming-of-age memoir, a world-renowned astrophysicist emerges from an impoverished childhood and crime-filled adolescence to ascend through the top ranks of research physics. Navigating poverty, violence, and instability, a young James Plummer had two guiding stars-a genius IQ and a love of science. But a bookish nerd was a soft target in his community, where James faced years of bullying and abuse. As he struggled to survive his childhood in some of the country's toughest urban neighborhoods in New Orleans, Houston, and LA, and later in the equally poor backwoods of Mississippi, he adopted the persona of "gangsta nerd"-dealing weed in juke joints while winning state science fairs with computer programs that model Einstein's theory of relativity. Once admitted to the elite physics PhD program at Stanford University, James found himself pulled between the promise of a bright future and a dangerous crack cocaine habit he developed in college. With the encouragement of his mentor and the sole Black professor in the physics department, James confronted his personal demons as well as the entrenched racism and classism of the scientific establishment. When he finally seized his dream of a life in astrophysics, he adopted a new name, Hakeem Muata Oluseyi, to honor his African ancestors. Alternately heartbreaking and hopeful, A QUANTUM LIFE narrates one man's remarkable quest across an ever-expanding universe filled with entanglement and choice.
