Evolution in Many-Sheeted Space-Time: Big Vision

Matti Pitkanen

Abstract


In this article a general vision about biological evolution, evolution of brain, and cultural evolution are discussed. In the proposed model for the evolution great leaps in evolution would correspond to phase transitions in which the effective value of Planck constant - ℏ - assignable to an onion like layer of the magnetic body increases. This implies scaling up of quantum coherence lengths and - times and therefore macroscopic quantum coherence in arbitrarily long length scales. ℏ serves as a kind of intelligence quotient.  Evolution would correspond to the emergence of new layers to the magnetic bodies of organisms. This would take place also for the magnetic bodies of populations making possible cultural evolution and the great differences between us and our ancestors and nearest species with almost the same genome might be due to the cultural evolution not reducible to the evolution of genome alone. Coherent collective gene expression would be one of the implications.
