Could Computers Be Live and Move?
Abstract
The unique properties of water (in particular Pollack effect) play a key role in the TGD based quantum view of life. Liquid metals might however provide an alternative for water. Gallium is liquid above 29.5 Co and has extremely nice properties concerning building of artificial life. Even doing the experiments possible at home, one can get convinced of the amazing lifelike properties of Gainstan (Ga, In and Si). Ga allows a generation of cell-like structures possessing the analog of membrane potential and the modulation of the conductivity of Ga by electric pulses is possible. There is an amazing amount of work already done but it is drowned to the AI hype. TGD predicts a lot of new physics. The new view of space-time and quantum theory makes possible quantum coherence in arbitrarily long scales. TGD also suggests a universal realization of the genetic code, based on universal topological qubits possible in systems allowing cold plasmas and OH pairings (as also water). This inspires the proposal that life is a universal phenomenon possible in systems allowing cold plasmas. The counterpart of DNA could be symbiotic pairing of ordinary bits and universally realized topological qubits taking place also in ordinary living matter. Semiconductors are required for the hybrid of ordinary and quantum computers. It would also be highly desirable to have motor activities. GaP, GaN,GaAs allow 1-D semi-conductivity but their melting point is very high. Could a compound involving Gal and OH in liquid phase act as an effective semiconductor making possible the hybrid of ordinary computer and topological quantum computer based on the OH—O- + dark proton qubit. Pollack effect might indeed make the generation of p and n type regions possible and the example of water supports this view.
