I was afraid you say that-lol: Quantum Evolution p.241 "The quantum cell". "In chapter five we explored how all the actions performed by living cells involve proton and electron movement; discovering later that the motion of these particles is governed by the strange rules of quantum physics. Yet, despite being made of these quantum particles, I have never seen a cat that could walk both ways around a block simultanously. There must be a boarder between the quantum and classical world; somewhere between the protons that make up the cat and the cat. A glance down a microscope should convince you that whole living cells like cats, inhabit the classical world. No muscle cell can both contract and relax at the smme time. No bloodcell is able to pass through two blood vessels at the same time. The boarder must lie somewhere above the level of electrons and protons but below the level of the whole cell. Where is it? To help us find where the quantum-classical boarder lies in living systems, let us first try to locate it in the inanimate world.
