Evidence emerges quantum physics behind sense of smell

• Terrence Aym
Physicists claim that the underlying reality of everything is the quanta. Now it seems that evidence has emerged that even humanity's sense of smell is linked to quantum physics. Researcher Luca Turin, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), believes evidence supporting the idea that the vibrational mode of atoms in molecules can be sensed by olfactory nerves. He thinks the brain interprets the differences of subtle shifts that affect even the nature of existence at the quantum level.
