The Quantum Theory should be the one to falsify the whole idea of unifying the evolution theory via plant growth and the physical theories via gravity (link1, link2), because of its strange phenomena. However, it is not the case in the beginning, when it starts with Planck concluding that there is a minimum quantity (quantum) of energy in the physical world. It is easy to formulate its equivalent in the world of life: A minimum structure to intercept and assimilate energy is also necessary in the biological world.
The other phenomena of the Quantum Theory, superposition, entanglement and teleportation are the real challenge: They seem impossible in the macro world of life. So, the falsification succeeded: Darwin’s force in life has no relation with the physical forces and can’t be founded on one principle. But, let’s wait a little and proceed with the think experiment, there are still some questions to be put forward. They are maybe typically for a biologist, not knowing much about physics, but often the outsider is constructing the out-of-the-box questions, opening the eyes of the insiders.
Let’s start with entanglement and teleportation. It is, actually, a solution for a problem in the physical forces world when trying to align it with the evolutionary force world, because it solves the information transfer problem. An essential driver in evolution is that a possible favourable feature is preserved in the genes for the descendants. It ensures that an ape is an ape even if they are thousands of miles away. It ensures also that a winning growth pattern, a polynomial of the second order (see link3, link4), i.e. life following a semi Newton pattern, is still appearing in the offspring even if they are going different directions. A biologist is not surprised that a mutant arises from an “entanglement” in a species and that survivors will spread in all directions. A mutant found in one direction will be the same as a mutant found in the other direction. So, teleportation and entanglement are doing for the physical world what genes do for the world of life.
In a plant there is also superposition:…. from leaves. In the two dimensional simulation with plants as simple as possible, we had for each plant only one leaf going to the left and one leaf going to the right (link5). Maybe this is irritating speculative, even for a think experiment.
But, in the end the author is suddenly not totally convinced of the Quantum Theory falsifying the idea of generalizing he evolution forces and the physical forces.
