Classical biology separates living from non-living things, but Cybernetics 3, which studies genomic oscillations, challenges this clear divide. Viruses, once seen as inactive outside a host, now appear as dynamic entities with potential, reflecting ideas from quantum mechanics.

Theoretical and experimental discussions suggest that viruses and bacteria, like subatomic particles, may exhibit quantum superposition - the ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed. The possibility that entire microorganisms could enter a quantum superposition challenges the classical view that such effects are limited to the microscopic realm of electrons and photons. If confirmed, this could reshape not only our concept of life but also the fundamental nature of biological processes.

The main question is whether viruses and bacteria can exist in more than one quantum state at the same time, similar to Schrödinger’s famous cat. New research shows that, under certain conditions, microorganisms might stay in an uncertain state and only settle into a clear form when measured. This suggests that life might not just follow classical rules but could also work within a quantum system, where things like coherence, entanglement, and wavefunction collapse affect biology.

If life is shaped by genomic oscillations and information coherence, then quantum effects might be a basic part of biology, not just a scientific oddity. This idea could affect how we understand not only viruses and bacteria, but also consciousness and evolution.

As research continues, one main question stands out:

Is life itself a quantum phenomenon?
