​
A hundredth of an inch is
​ ​
about 4 times shorter
​ ​
than
​ ​
the shortest neuron,
​ ​
and the longest neuron is over a
​ ​
METER
​ ​
long, the longest cell in the body. And Penrose and Hameroff
​ ​
did a lot of theorizing but provided zero experimental evidence that
electrons in microtubules are entangled, or that anything in neurons is
entangled, or that the brain uses any sort of quantum logic in its
information processing. Nor is the human brain very good at doing the sort
of things that we know for sure that Quantum Computers would be good at,
like factoring large numbers or simulating quantum processes; conventional
non-quantum computers aren't very good at those things either but they're
better than we are.
