TED: How quantum biology might explain life's biggest questions | Jim Al-Khalili

The video explores the emerging field of quantum biology, examining how quantum mechanics may play a role in biological processes. It discusses the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the historical context, and key concepts like quantum tunneling, coherence, and entanglement. The video highlights speculative yet exciting research, such as quantum effects in enzymes, DNA mutations, photosynthesis, and animal navigation, suggesting that life may utilize quantum mechanics in non-trivial ways.
