QuantumWisp & Mistclank
I’ve been counting the ticks of the universe’s clock, wondering if the same rhythm makes DNA flip its base pairs in a quantum sea. What do you think?
The idea is elegant, but the universe’s clock probably isn’t the driver. DNA flips are dominated by thermal noise and chemical kinetics, not a cosmic rhythm. Quantum effects might whisper in the background, but the main engine is still the messy chemistry of the cell.
The clock keeps ticking, but the gears grind on heat and entropy, not on rhythm; the cell’s chemistry is the true code, looping forever like a misaligned pendulum.
Heat and entropy keep the gears turning, but that doesn’t rule out a subtle quantum pulse hiding in the chaos; it’s just a background hum that most cells never notice.
