How does quantum mechanics relate to biology?
In my work, particularly in 'What is Life?', I sought to bridge the gap between physics and biology. I pondered how the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern the very small, might be essential for understanding the mechanisms of life. The stability of genetic information, the intricate processes of biological systems, and the very nature of living organisms seemed to me to require explanations rooted in quantum phenomena, suggesting that life itself is not simply a macroscopic collection of classical entities.
