Nanosecond switching in Microtuble automata per neuron per second : 1016 Hence for a human brain, number of bits offered per second: 104
Thus till quite recently, capacity of human brain was assumed to be possess 10" bits states per second in the human brain. It was based on the assumption that there are 10" neurons in the brain, and on the average there are 10' synapses per neuron and again there are around 10 digital operations per synapse per second. And these are treated as classical bits. However, with the new discovery of tubulins who individually and collectively (entanglement) behave as quantum systems, this human capacity has gone upto 10'' quantum bits of information. It is so because now there are around 10' tubulins and there can be at least 10° (actually in the range of 10'-10'oscillations per second). So this number of 10' has to be multiplied with the total number of neurons in the brain is, which is 10". This may be compared with performance of the best supercomputer in the world that is A l exa FLOPS (EFLOPS) computer system, which is capable of performing one quintillion (1018) floating-point operations per second. However, in case of brain, these bit states are not classical bits but quantum bits (known as qubits). Hence this will ultimately leads to almost infinite information, as per the latest work in the field of quantum computers and quantum information. This means that a human brain essentially can possess almost infinite knowledge. This idea is therefore very close to the concept of infinite knowledge possessed by a pure soul in Indian philosophy in general and Jainism in particular.
It appears that the spiritual practices of Jain and other Indian monks results into decrease in decoherent activities in their brain and realization of the quantum information through the biological quantum computers.
8. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This paper is dedicated to my parents late Shriman Balwant Singhji Sahab Pokharna and mother Late Shrimati Lahar Kunwarji Pokharna, who have laid foundation for doing this type of interdisciplinary work. The author is also grateful to Prof. ECG Sudarshan for reading an earlier version of this paper and making comments on that.
