Living Organisms as Chemical Systems: What is the Difference Between Sleep and Syncope?
African Journal of Medicine and Pharma Research, 1 (2):
8-13 (2023)Abstract
This review article deals with quantum biology, the novel scientific tool that helps traditional biology unravel some of the mysteries surrounding living organisms. We continue with the contributions of Schrodinger and Prigogine to the field of biology; we explain why living beings produce entropy and describe the domain and range in which the entropy function is defined in the body. We posit a new classification of syncope and explicate why living organisms faint. We differentiate syncope from sleep and invite experimental scientists to find the limits of the entropy function at which the mind sends the body into syncope.
