European robins may maintain quantum entanglement in their eyes a full 20 microseconds longer than the best laboratory systems, say physicists investigating how birds may use quantum effects to “see” Earth’s magnetic field.

Quantum entanglement is a state where electrons are spatially separated, but able to affect one another. It’s been proposed that birds’ eyes contain entanglement-based compasses.

Conclusive proof doesn’t yet exist, but multiple lines of evidence suggest it. Findings like this one underscore just how sophisticated those compasses may be.

“How can a living system have evolved to protect a quantum state as well — no, better — than we can do in the lab with these exotic molecules?” asked quantum physicist Simon Benjamin of Oxford University and the National University of Singapore, a co-author of the new study. “That really is an amazing thing.”

but seriously, an absence of that random firing could be an indicator of depression...

Otherwise, we are wildly optimistic.

Random firing is so great!

I've got hard documentation that I've accomplished this, but I'm not always sure of it.

Nevertheless I make some claims upon the universe as it ought to be.

The carrier waves of radio and television are not comprised of noise, or static. Static is produced by atmospheric effects including lightning; as well as by automobile ignitions, electric motors, and electrical noise from transmitting or receiving equipment.

Interesting article, but Dr. Bengson should stick to neuroscience.
