Quantum 'superposition' makes photosynthesis more efficient
Environment assisted biological quantum dynamics: It is remarkable that quantum phenomena can play a role in warm, wet and noisy biological systems. One important reason is that some biologically relevant phenomena take place on rather short timescales that prevent the environment from destroying quantum coherence completely. More interestingly a few years ago we proposed that environmental noise can actually collaborate with quantum dynamics to achieve the best possible efficiency in biological processes. We continue to explore this phenomenon with the aim of uncovering the design principles by which nature has optimized quantum biological function in noisy environments.
Environment assisted biological quantum dynamics: Theory in this field needs to be verified by experiment. Indeed, recent advances in nonlinear optical spectroscopy have demonstrated the presence of long-lived quantum coherences in biological systems. These coherences reflect coherent features in biological processes, such as coherent transport and coherent electronic-vibrational (vibronic) coupling. Identification of the microscopic origin of experimentally observed coherences is a key to understanding the role of quantum effects in biological processes. We are studying how different structures of biological environments can be distinguished in experiments with the aim of unraveling the underlying mechanisms in biological processes and applying them to artificial systems.

Ask couples who have been married for 15-50 years, and tey will always relate a few incidents . ( Then still insist there is nothing to it. )
I think everyone has it, though. most have lost access to it. There is a great deal to keep the mind busy in the modern world. Many abilities could be displaced amld our utopia.

From my point of view they are probably partially entangled. Empath ability .
My mom had a strange ability to think me home when I was out playing as kid that she later lost as I grew older.
First you talk about entanglement then you cite an article that says absolutely nothing at all about entanglement.

I cannot understand how some people can logically accept that entanglement happens and at the same time say telepathy cannot occur. If 2 parts of reality can be connected to each other regardless of distance then since are cells are using particles as information storage it is clear that information can be infused telepathically on a quantum scale.
The most used excuse that I have encountered is that quantum effects do only happen near absolute zero that have been disproved.

Thank you for asking a question showing a greater understanding of entanglement than the OP by LittleByLittle who doesn't seem to be aware of this aspect of how entanglement works.

How would your atoms get entangled with someone else's atoms, in order for you to be able to send and recieve msgs?

Science may be guilty of spending too much time and too much money on ideas that are a waste of time only to be proven incorrect . When does science say its time to move along and what would tell us that they might like to look at some options while avoiding other models . How long does it take for yesterdays ideas to vanish from the public's mind ? Is it possible to make a connection looking at gravity when its the electron ? Science can move slow because they don't want to look into other ideas . A good example is the Electric Universe model . imo but I am not a scientist , I only pay them .

To my crude mind it makes sense
while in the next sentence you imply that you know so much about both of these subjects, that you claim that they are completely similar.
The concept of quantum entanglement is the same as consciousness.
However, I suppose that area of study will be shied away from as it suggests to much of what some of us already knows is real but science disavows.
I might ask you the same question but I want to mix it up a bit .I have noticed that you use that line . Have you produced any peer-reviewed papers, and could you provide a link to your work you specialize in ?
So....... drum roll......... which degrees do you hold and which college did you get them in?

Has the "100th monkey" concept been examined from that angle?
