🚨 THE PROTON YOU LEARNED ABOUT IN SCHOOL DOESN’T EXIST.
For decades after their discovery, protons (and neutrons) were considered the basic building blocks of atomic nuclei. But by the 1960s, deep inelastic scattering experiments firing high-energy electrons at protons revealed something shocking: protons are not fundamental.
Inside every proton is a dynamic, ever-changing swarm of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons. The three “valence” quarks we usually hear about are just the net excess. Most of the proton’s mass and structure comes from the constant creation and annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs and the gluons that bind them.
Why this matters:
• It completely overturned the idea that protons and neutrons were the smallest units of matter
• It led directly to the discovery of quarks and the full development of Quantum Chromodynamics (the theory of the strong nuclear force)
• It showed us that even “simple” particles like the proton are actually complex quantum systems
The deeper implication:
What we call “matter” at the smallest scales is far more dynamic and chaotic than the neat textbook picture most of us were taught. The proton isn’t a solid little ball of three quarks it’s a boiling sea of particles and forces in constant flux. And every time we’ve looked deeper, we’ve found more layers.
We still don’t know if quarks themselves have substructure. But history suggests we should keep asking.
What do you think are quarks and gluons truly fundamental, or will we one day discover even smaller building blocks inside them?

Hidden codes of telepathy; All resides within Quantum Mechanics and Physics. Microtubules are fractal time crystals.
This is where everything is at now and it’s very serious. The holographic universe is where all of this stems.
This is the most established body of work. It refers to a quantum information phenomenon where entangled particles allow two (or more) parties to coordinate perfectly in certain “nonlocal games” without any classical communication. This demonstrates quantum nonlocality (violations of Bell inequalities) and is sometimes called “pseudotelepathy” because it mimics instant coordination, but no actual information or signals are transferred (consistent with the no-communication theorem in quantum mechanics).
• It originated as a thought experiment (e.g., the Mermin-Peres magic square game or GHZ game) and has been experimentally demonstrated, including a 2022 implementation using quantum systems that achieved guaranteed wins impossible under classical physics.
• Recent papers explore practical applications, such as coordinating decisions in distributed systems or near-term quantum tech (e.g., for computing or optimization problems with limited communication).
• Key point: This has nothing to do with human consciousness, telepathy, or mind-reading. It involves quantum particles (e.g., qubits in labs or quantum computers), not brains. Wikipedia and physics literature explicitly distinguish it from any psi interpretation.
This is real, peer-reviewed quantum physics (arXiv, Scientific American, experimental demos).
2. Speculative or parapsychological claims linking psychic telepathy to quantum mechanics
A smaller, more fringe body of work (mostly theoretical hypotheses, opinion pieces, or parapsychology) proposes that quantum effects like entanglement or nonlocality might explain reported telepathic experiences. These are not mainstream physics or neuroscience research:
• Parapsychologist Dean Radin (Institute of Noetic Sciences) has argued that telepathy appears real based on meta-analyses of experiments (e.g., Ganzfeld studies) and that quantum mechanics’ nonlocality/entanglement provides a compatible framework for psi phenomena. He does not claim quantum mechanics proves or directly enables signaling telepathy, and he notes the no-communication issue in QM. His views appear in books, interviews, and some philosophy-of-science discussions.
• Theoretical models/hypotheses: Examples include a 2003 preprint proposing a “Primary Quantum Model of Telepathy” based on quantum superluminal communication ideas, and a more recent “Telepathic Quantum Link Hypothesis” suggesting entangled neural structures could synchronize thoughts. These are speculative philosophical or preprint works, not experimental proofs.
• A 2025 study in Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (peer-reviewed but in computational biology) claimed quantum entanglement (simulated via IBM quantum circuits on visual stimuli) enhanced implicit learning and “anomalous cognition” in monozygotic twins, explaining some variance in performance via non-local effects.
The Orch OR theory that consciousness derives from quantum processes in microtubules has more explanatory power, biological connection and experimental validation than all other theories of consciousness combined. I’ve been saying that for a couple years with zero refutation. Nary a peep.
But neuro-influencers are dumbing down the brain to accommodate cartoon neuron theories and sustain the promise of conscious AI.

Fantastic to see my old club Coventry City promoted to the Premier League. I joined them 59 years ago in the days of Jimmy Hill, Noel Cantwell, George Curtis, Ernie Hunt, Maurice Setters, and so many great characters now long past. Coventry have been through some terrible times in recent decades and what a delight to see that if you never give up you get there in the end.
All the best to all those Coventry fans that stuck by them no matter what. Enjoy your night - you deserve it.
