As I said, quantum mechanics provides the mechanism for evolution.

I only object to your use of "proof". I will whole-heartedly agree with "Quantum physics supports evolution", I will not agree with "Quantum physics proves evolution." The argument about the beauty of the fractal nature of interactions progressing scale is akin to an argument used for intelligent design. Argument from beauty

Um, no. Quantum mechanics is necessary for mechanisms involved in, say, genetics but to say that quantum physics proves evolution is like saying that the big bang proves humans.>> ^swedishfriend:
Quantum physics also proves evolution.


Quantum effects show that all is probability unless there is interaction. This leads at larger scales to the process we call evolution. No one living cell or organism can be created and exist by itself but rather has to evolve from simpler matter along with the other simpler matter in is environment. Everything relies on everything else would be a basic way of thinking about it. Everything grows out of everything. Experiments of quantum effects at larger scales have shown that what we call reality comes into being by interaction with all else that exists. In the same way living organisms cannot be created out of the blue without all other organisms and matter around it but rather has to grow and be shaped through time and interactions with the nature around it.
If you can hold large enough ideas and interactions in your mind I think you will see that evidence for quantum effects supports the idea of evolution and evidence of evolution supports the idea of quantum effects.
Nature is one thing, the functions of life and evolution fractally rise up out of atomic and quantum effects. If you truly understand fractals, evolution, and quantum effects it is easy to understand them as a whole.

Oh my God! The Smug! It's killing him!

Hey, @moodonia, is Godot's chair still there?

Aw, I got naked in one those slave auctions

I fixed it! The original vid was taken down by youtube. Luckily this fellow had a copy of it already made >> ^Sagemind:

Works fine for me - perhaps it was fixed

I thought that too but I don't know. Maybe he was on something?>> ^messenger:

Poor guy's off his meds.

So it is! *dead

It was the ending that got me!

I dunno, I can buy a steak knife capable of killing someone for a couple of euro.>> ^ChaosEngine:

The sword he's using is a "Musashi Damacus Katana", which is a whopping $180 on their website.
Now call me skeptical, but I do not believe you can buy a quality sword for $180 (given that a decent blunt iaito starts at around $600 and a proper shinken starts at several thousand).
So really, this is just some muppet with a crappy sword who thinks he's a "ninja".

Gollum's at the start

But then you would be risking procreation!!!>> ^packo:

i hate their politics
but would love to be the meat in that sandwich

His parting words made me smile :-)
