Honestly, this page seems to be mostly bullshit. It is written by
somebody who at least seems to understand the physics, but the biology
and neuroscience was downright silly. Neurons are *not*
superconducting (experimental fact). And when he started to explain
this non-existent effect by invoking wormholes, exotic atoms and
citing colf fusion papers, it gradually moved from silly to
hillarious.
As one researcher said at the workshop on hippocampal modelling I
visited this weekend: "I have great respect for Penrose. But he is in
bad company".
