Geeked.




Truth be told - over art, music, fashion, politics, and anything else I've covered on this blog, the study of quantum mechanics is the coolest thing going on in the world right now. I mean us humans have done pretty well for ourselves figuring out all the shit we can see, imagine how awesome things will be when we figure out everything we can't see? Plus, who doesn't get excited about dancing electrons? Parallel worlds, awesome. yes?

Anyway, Discover Magazine dropped a doozy of an article yesterday about how scientists are figuring out that the nature-built process known as photosynthesis in plants is energy efficient as fuck. So efficient that we're studying it in hopes that one day humans can figure out how to use energy the plant and flower way. So efficient that they think the laws of quantum mechanics are involved. You probably wont read this article. Hell, you've probably already stopped reading, but if you want to continue to read how some scientists think that quantum mechanics is responsible for photosynthesis, our sense of smell, and our own consciousness then let me blast you over to that (p)article. Lol, see what I did there?
