Has anyone heard of Stuart Hameroff's theories?

Now I know he talks about quantum physics and some of the stuff he says does not make sense. But the stuff about microtubules is fascinating. Just wondering what are your guys opinions on this guy. Here is his site if you have not seen it.

Hope there is some good topics some of you can bring up.

Wow, that is not light reading. I have enough cell physiology to see the basic theory is tenable. But the quantum theory is too stiff for my training to see beyond the claim.

I found this very interesting: Fröhlich theorized that sets of protein dipoles in a common electromagnetic field (e.g. proteins within a polarized membrane, subunits within an electret polymer like microtubules) undergo coherent conformational excitations if energy is supplied. Fröhlich postulated that biochemical and thermal energy from the surrounding "heat bath"provides such energy. Cooperative, organized processes leading to coherent excitations emerged, according to Fröhlich, because of structural coherence of hydrophobic dipoles in a common voltage gradient.

This is close to Ling's Association Induction hypothesis that I posted here: http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/forum/phpB ... f=9&t=3917
But I had not come across this research team. Deep stuff, thanks for the post!
