Quantum Mechanics Involved In Photosynthesis 137

Posted by samzenpus on Monday April 27, 2009 @05:04PM from the spooky-cycle dept.

Kristina at Science News writes "We all learn about photosynthesis in school: sunlight in, plant food out. Not well understood is how this process achieves its initial and uniquely high efficiency in capturing the energy of a photon. Quantum mechanics may be at work in the electron transfer process inside chloroplast, giving electrons the chance to consider many paths at once before choosing the best one."

... FUCKING OTHER GUYS UP THE ASS UNPROTECTED?

Well, the person in question identified herself as a lesbian, so she probably didn't use that exact wording in her profile.

I could be wrong.

Also, I don't hang my hat on being straight - do you really need to point out that you're gay in your xbox profile? I mean... really? I don't think you should be banned for doing it, but I think it's a little odd.

It's no more odd than mentioning hobbies and interests that aren't related to gaming. I mean that's the purpose of profiles isn't it? Talking about the things that distinguish you from everyone else?
