See the episode substack to go deeper
We venture deep into the intersection of quantum physics and biology to uncover a revolutionary possibility: that life itself operates as a quantum computing system of staggering capacity.
Drawing from Philip Kurian's groundbreaking research on the computational power of living organisms, we explore how the humble amino acid tryptophan forms networks that harness quantum superradiance, potentially enabling processing speeds billions of times faster than traditional models suggest.
Could these quantum networks explain the brain's remarkable capabilities and offer breakthroughs for treating neurodegenerative diseases?
Even more provocatively, calculations suggest all eukaryotic life throughout Earth's history has performed computational operations on a scale approaching the square root of the entire universe's capacity.
This isn't just biological curiosity—it's a paradigm shift that could revolutionize our understanding of consciousness, inspire new quantum technologies, and forever change how we view the boundary between computing and life.
Ultraviolet Superradiance from Mega-Networks of Tryptophan in Biological Architectures
Quantum effects in life: Cells compute information billion times faster than we thought
This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
