That is quite the number of atoms (although not even a mole's worth). It makes me wonder if quantum entanglement in the brain is more likely.

- eru 9y agoI think it's not so much that the brain's atoms wouldn't be entangled amongst themselves, but that they are entangled with everything else. It's a warm and wet environment.

- gus_massa 9y agoThis system is very cold, at a temperature of 3K (=-270°C=-454°F). The atoms are in a crystal, that will help to keep them in one place. In the brain, the atoms are hot, moving and colliding. Also, a brain has approximately 10^26 atoms, a single neuron has something like 10^17 atoms, a single chromosome has something like 10^10 atoms. They have only 10^7 atoms.
