Insights into plant consciousness from neuroscience, physics and mathematics: A role for quasicrystals?

Posted by in categories: computing, mathematics, neuroscience, quantum physics

There is considerable debate over whether plants are conscious and this, indeed, is an important question. Here I look at developments in neuroscience, physics and mathematics that may impact on this question. Two major concomitants of consciousness in animals are microtubule function and electrical gamma wave synchrony. Both these factors may also play a role in plant consciousness. I show that plants possess aperiodic quasicrystal structures composed of ribosomes that may enable quantum computing, which has been suggested to lie at the core of animal consciousness. Finally I look at whether a microtubule fractal suggests that electric current plays a part in conventional neurocomputing processes in plants.

This Afghan-Developed ‘Mine Kafon’ Ball Detonates Landmines At A Cheaper Cost

Posted by in category: materials

Advertisement The device for sweeping mines is built using low-cost material available in abundance, hence easily replaceable too. The new mine killer device known as Mine Kafon, developed by an Afghan designer, is an expertly designed device that uses cheap materials that are easily replaceable, hence giving tremendous results.

The device is wind-powered and seems like a Hoberman sphere. The device’s weight and height match that of an average-sized man, hence replicating the effect of a man stepping on a mine.
