    He starts by calling tryptophan a protein in the first two minutes.

    Huge error? No, but sloppy, and there’s too much low quality pop sci on YouTube already to justify more attention to this video.

      Huge error? No, but sloppy,

      Sure, but maybe that is a distraction from what is significant here.

      Assuming this finding is valid, and can be replicated in a peer-reviewed way, then the link between quantum effects in the tryptophan networks in tubules and the action of anesthetics, is at the very least a startling coincidence.

        It’s sloppy imprecision about a really basic detail.

        It’s an indictment of his ability to understand what he’s reporting.

        There are millions of pages with sloppy reporting about complicated topics

        I’m not saying this discovery is important. I’m saying I want to understand it from a more reliable source and that I’m not wasting minutes of my life on this YouTube channel.
