Quantum Evolution ... and Quantum Genetics

["Professor I.C. Baianu" <***>]

A recent book entitled "Quantum Evolution" by J.F.,  might be of interest
to the Rosen group as it claims to be "non-reductionistic", makes several
important criticisms of reductionism, and the offers 'solutions' that are
quantum process based --- without using any new science. The relational
biology approach, or Rashevsky's school or books are, of course, never
mentioned, although he does mention some of David Bohm's books, and more
speculative ones still. I liked the 'Quantum Theory' book by David Bohm
(1991), and it was a good idea to have it reprinted otherwise I could not
have had easy access to it, as undoubtedly other people did too. I am not
so hot, however, on the implicate order; it's tough to follow, maybe even
tougher to accept all of it!
Quantum Evolution still makes interesting reading and apart from being
wrong about the time and author who introduced 'quantum computation/
computers' (book says it was Richard P. Feynman, (NP), in 1982., and it's
most definitely wrong!)

Well , the published Proceeds.  of LMPS Congress, 1971, shows very clear
written evidence to the contrary: it was this writer who introduced that
concept in 1971, a full 11 years before the famous Richard P. Feynman.
Clearly, my PR was not anywhere near as good at that time! It is now my
chance to straigthen out the record. The LMPS Congress was very well
attended by a significant number of well-known American scientists, in
basic logic , maths and Methodology of Sciences.

It was thought at the time that the 'Cold War' will soon end as Nixon was
touring throughout Europe (which did not happen!), as de Gaulle's
presidency was coming to an end, and as the first men--fellow Americans--
landed on the Moon while my father and I were very excitedly watching live
on TV-- the entire transmission of the Moon landing via satellite- at ~3 am
in the morning , or ~7 Greenwich meantime ?. (NASA said they used Newton's
equations for calculating the 'correct' trajectories for Moon landing--
they couldn't quite handle the spacetime Einstein's eqs., or something?!)
