Quantum Life: How Physics Can Revolutionise Biology: Jim Al-Khalili at TEDxSalford



TEDx Talks

Jim Al-Khalili is a professor of physics, author and broadcaster based at the University of Surrey where he holds a chair in the Public Engagement in Science. He is active as a science communicator and has written a number of popular science books, between them translated into over twenty languages. He is a regular presenter of TV science documentaries, including the Bafta nominated Chemistry: A Volatile History, and presents the weekly Radio 4 programme, The Life Scientific. He is a recipient of the Royal Society Michael Faraday medal and the Institute of Physics Kelvin Medal.

He has also presented Atom, a three-part series for BBC Four, The Secret Life of Chaos, and Science and Islam, covering the leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. He’s also a regular on Radio 4 and on the BBC’s Horizon programme.

  1. you are on the wrong way with D.n.a. she do not explain all the changes of the body she is like the code source but if you focus on the source you will loose a huge part of the code ……

  2. biology have many quantum aspects just took the planck constante some see it as a limit but it is what authorize you to form new molecules the spirit you have controlate every input and output of your body if you are a buddha so you can control the creation of new feelings

  3. What if, says superstring theory, all quantum weirdness is because we're limited to 3 dimensions in our observations. What if all quantum mechanical phenomena are in fact actually higher dimensional in nature? This also allows Superstring theory to finally unite all 4 forces . Steven Wineberg one of the Nobel prize winners and scientific elder statesmen given credit for the "Standard Model of Quantum Mechanics" says about M theory or String theory "I can't imagine that any theory as mathematically beautiful and elegant as Superstring theory could be just wrong". There's a new paradigm in town that might just put Q M in its place so to speak. Get ready for the 11 dimensional multiverse.

  4. You are…,
    as young as the moment,
    and as old as the universe,
    too small to see everything,
    big enough to be connected to it all,
    one of many while being many of one,
    outside my body,
    inside my mind,
    a reflection,
    to my,
    "I"

  5. Thanks for the video as it is quite excellent. It is interesting, however, that Jim is like the astronomers in that he does not know when to use "among" vs. "between." Something can only be "between" two items.

  6. To me Quantum physics explains why the logic which seems to be integral to our vast universe is not really necessary to live and survive in this grand illusion. At ground zero, picture is absolutely fluid and responds differently to each observer. However, when interaction grows, a common set of logic, rules or faith comes in play and starts controlling the group of objects or life.

  7. Really very beautiful lecture it has a great connection between QM and biology this can be comprehended according to quantum tunneling in some animals and birds
