Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Perhaps the most interesting aspect of @megalopolisfilm is it’s science, which is not fiction. “In physics, a system is 100% efficient if it can use 100% of the energy inputted to perform some type of energy-intensive work.” Photosynthesis is the only known process that does this, and is on the verge of being fully understood through quantum mechanics. “In plants, nearly 100% of the incident photon energy from the Sun gets converted into electron energy which eventually powers the production of sugar: the photosynthetic process.” How is that possible? If we can learn Nature’s secret all around us, our relationship with plant life will be multiplied incredibly. So when plant life becomes our form of architecture, which it will — it is almost hard to imagine the change, because all life will benefit, and dangerous issues of climate, food, and population balance will begin to disappear. That is the scientific vision of what @megalopolisfilm is proposing. Link in bio/story for the above referenced article from @bigthinkers 2nd photo: The quantum mechanism of photosynthesis.
