Mystery of the quantum lentils: Are legumes exchanging secret signals?
- h2odragon 3y agoStand near a field of soybeans; and you can feel their unified hatred for all that is Mobile. They mostly talk about it through scent, I think; which makes it all the more oppressive and ominous.

Is it full duplex; are they transmitting and receiving simulatenously? Quantum discord: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_discord https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_discord : > In quantum information theory, quantum discord is a measure of nonclassical correlations between two subsystems of a quantum system. It includes correlations that are due to quantum physical effects but do not necessarily involve quantum entanglement.
