Quantum laws would govern large molecules like DNA

There is a study that was made public on June 4, 2025, about a part of the universe that accepts us all and that could almost be described as the boundary between two universes or two worlds, so as not to stray from the same universe. We are within the same universe, but they are two completely opposite worlds.

Scientists in documentaries express that the laws of the quantum world, that is, of the smallest particles, are different from the laws of the macroscopic world, different from the world we know, the world of people, cats, planets, and stars. In contrast, in the quantum world, very strange things happen, which, if we saw them happening before our eyes in our normal world, would literally seem like magic, but the quantum world is not on another planet, it is everywhere, and inside us we are all made up of subatomic particles that curiously obey laws completely different from those we have to obey. In fact, everything changes, even the question of time and space, everything.

The question is, where does the quantum world begin? Where is the boundary between these two worlds? This is where the work published on June 4, 2025, by physicist W. David Wick. It has a title that I love, a direct title: “Can the infamous boundary be found in macromolecules? Also: Von Neumann sets vs. Schrodinger sets, and the ‘Hund paradox’ in quantum chemistry.”

The study clearly deals with that “infamous frontier,” what scientists technically call wave function collapse, which is a central concept in quantum mechanics. It describes how the wave function of a system that may initially be in a superposition of states is reduced to a single measurable state as a result of a measurement or interaction with the environment. In short, it's Schrodinger's cat, whether it is alive or dead, or alive and dead at the same time, and we do not know if it is alive or dead until we make the measurement, that is, we open the box. However, the quantum world is alive and dead at the same time, which is why I say that what happens in the quantum world is almost magic.

According to the researcher, this collapse would be much larger or further away than subatomic particles, it would be in molecules, molecules are made up of atoms and fairly large molecules such as DNA, this is a bit mind-blowing, In the research, he cites DNA, enzymes, and proteins. It's quite mind-boggling because it suggests that the laws of quantum physics can somehow affect the function of proteins and DNA at that scale, how they are configured, and in part it is mind-boggling because DNA is a rather curious molecule.

To put them into perspective, first of all, a protein can have anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of atoms; it is obviously not a subatomic particle. A DNA molecule is even much larger, easily containing hundreds of billions of atoms, and it is not a subatomic particle either. Certainly, both elements are essential for life to form, and both act in a rather unusual, rather common way; it is not normal matter. It is not like the molecules that form a stone or the molecules that form a liquid or a gas.

DNA has the ability to replicate. It is not the only molecule that does so, but DNA is very good at self-replicating and thus transmitting information. However, as you know, if there is any modification in that replication process, some alterations can occur that ultimately benefit the development of the evolution of living beings in the case of DNA.

So this research or theory is quite amazing because it suggests that DNA and proteins could be affected or benefited by some effects of the quantum world, which would explain these strange things they do.

The research believes that the properties of the quantum world could be related to the structure of DNA, which, as you can see, has a rather curious helical structure and also a specific twist. The research doesn't mention the specific twist, but it occurred to me that it's also very important, like the predetermined twist of galaxies in the cosmos.
