How Quantum is Life?

The validity of a mathematical statement is judged by its logical consistency. The validity of a physical statement is judged by its correspondence to reality. Relations between material objects must be expressed in a language compatible with the way in which objects in the real world actually interact - through the transmission/reception of mass/energy/information. Often we overlook this aspect and land at undecidable propositions – mathematics not in conformity with physics. These are mistaken as mathematical structures, though real mathematical structures are natural laws that give quantitative descriptions of physical phenomena – hence related to observables only. Mathematics explains how much one quantity, whether scalar or vector; accumulate or reduce linearly or non-linearly in interactions involving similar or partly similar quantities and not what, why, when, where, or with whom about the objects. These are subject matters of physics. Transgressing the strictly defined boundaries create pseudo-mathematical structures with undecidable propositions. After creating a problem, we search for ways to solve the problem and are lost in the enigma. We collect too much information and reject most without proper analysis (like at LHC). Some ‘theories’ provide conceptual convenience and attractive simplicity for pattern analysis, but at the cost of ignoring equally-plausible alternative interpretations of observed phenomena that could possibly have explained the universe better. For every quantum system and phenomenon, there exists a macro equivalent. But to see these, we have to get rid of the incremental approach of building on ‘established theories’. Instead of sticking to these ‘accepted theories’ superstitiously, if we re-envision classical and quantum observations as macroscopic overlap of quantum effects, we may solve most problems. After the observation of blue-shift and galactic merger, should we stick to dark energy? After failure to detect extra dimensions for over a century, should we stick to it? Let us be
