this Table. But statistically, this is a very significant observation and should be taken quite seriously by the scientists. At least it should not be ignored. The mere fact that it was arrived at from the telepathy of advance level through which one can see even the smallest particle of matter should be a very exciting observation. This again shows that the Jain concept of knowledge should be taken very seriously by the scientific community and should be further explored in a careful way.
Now the mere fact that this concept might have evolved through a realization of this higher level of consciousness is worth examining. It appears to involve advanced telepathy (known as avadhijnana in Jainism) or some type of advanced knowledge.
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 109 (actually in the range of 109-10 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 A1 exa FLOPS (EFLOPS) computer system, which is capable of performing one quintillion (10") 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.

IS KNOWLEDGE REALLY STRUCTURED IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS: QUBITS, QUANTUM INFORMATION AND THE BRAIN:
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.
Actually the recent developments in computer science and neurobiology clearly show that knowledge is nothing but information organized in some way [9 and information in turn is just organization of data in some fashion. It is also realized that human consciousness and even animal consciousness) is capable of organizing these data and can generate information and hence knowledge in some way [9]. Therefore what we call as scientific knowledge is just a subset of this grand concept of knowledge, which can exist in the human consciousness. Because all interpretations of all scientific experiments are ultimately done by human consciousness (10)

Actually it is argued that quantum computers like processes are possible in the human brain even at biological temperature [11]. It is claimed that human sub-consciousness mind works on the basis of quantum computers (assuming tubulin's groups acting as a cellular automata), and so its activities are hidden from us. When the Orch OR takes place, one enters into classical world. Now let us look at the following numbers: [11,10)

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.
