> Photosynthesis is so efficient because electrons jump multi-molecule gaps due to quantum effects, as we’ve found only a few years ago. That's true, but is a short lived and very local effect. > The theory that most biological brains heavily leverage quantum processes is rapidly gaining ground as well [...] No, there is only some handwaving. It's impossible to keep the quantum coherence in a system that weight 1.5kg at 310K. |

And critically for my argument, photosynthesis works (less efficiently) even when this effect is absent. It’s not a mystery ingredient that makes the whole thing work.
