That is, IMO, an amazing feat of science...the very prediction of quantum biology decades earlier...yet it seems Penrose being a Platonist and Hammeroff being a New Ager means their theory gets maligned to the point I'm not even sure the verification of their prediction is on Wikipedia. Likely due to the computationalist faith panicking over an anti-computationalist (in the Turing Machine sense) theory of mind making strides.
Do you have a link about the predictions they've made that have been validated?
Just checked Wikipedia (not expecting such a controversial article to be fair) and it notes that Hammeroff made 20 testable predictions in 1998 but doesn't say that any were validated.
