Crank bullshit alarms at level 11 with this paper

Quote from the paper: “ God created the perfect quantum computer: the DNA.”

Even if it is non-crank... how did Nature editors allow such non- scientific wording to go through?

Ever since Deep mind serially publishes shit Nature article with close to zero reproducibility, many gaps, close to no section on related work (and therefore no credit assignment to previous authors on whose work they built) -the AlphaGeometry paper comes to mind- I'm wondering whether Nature simply has abandoned it's status and is devolving from a flagship journal toma crackpot journal ...

This is a Scientific Reports paper, which is way less prestigious and evidently has much less rigorous review compared to Nature. Still, shame on them for publishing this

Ignoring that, this sentense in the abstract makes no sense.

> The central Hydrogen bond between Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) or Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) functions like an ideal Josephson Junction.

I undesstand all the words in the abstract, but the whole abstract makes no sense.
