This was one of my favorite books growing up, but the linked article is iffy at best. Author doesn't understand the difference between quantum mechanics and general relativity, which should be a nonstarter on HN. Would love to have a better article as a starting point for discussion of this book here.
- throwaway91111 9y agoI don't even think quantum mechanics come into play at the mitochondrial level in Wind In The Door.
- brianberns 9y agoI agree. I think there is a scene in Wrinkle where Meg uses the fact that atoms are mostly empty space to pass through a solid wall. However, this is really more of a classical view of atomic structure (atoms as hollow balls), rather than QM.
