...major skin cancers. Both basal-cell and squamous-cell carcinomas arise from the most common skin cells, the keratinocytes, which form at the base of the epidermis and work their way toward the surface. Near the base, they are plump and are called basal cells. But as they move outward, they flatten to become the squamous cells that form the skin's tough, protective surface. Melanomas spring from melanocytes, cells that produce pigment...

...jump from one place to another without traversing the space in between. Penrose's intuition, although he has no proof, is that these effects may apply not just to atoms but also to objects as big as brain cells. An act of creative thinking, he argues, could be the outward manifestation of neurons making quantum jumps from one energy state to another. Since computers do not operate by quantum rules, he says, they will never have insights...
