Introduction

WATER - The most common substance on earth. It is with us every moment of everyday,

but do we know the secrets of this amazing element?

Where has it come from? who brought water on our planet and why? Maybe the water

itself is the only one who knows the answers.

"Nothing under heaven is more weak, soft, tender, supple and pliant to surrender than water.

But to defeat the solid, stiff, hard and strong, nothing is better than water that has no equal. The

weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the stiff" ."(Lao Tzu chapter 43) said the chinese

philosopher Lao Tzu1 2500 years ago.

From agriculture, to factories and hydropower, we put water to work in a million different

ways, and yet water acts outside all known physical laws of nature. At a time of global climate

change, understanding the mysteries of water is critical. Every living thing needs it to survive. Our

ignorance of its function and capacities has lead us to abuse its quality and forget its potential.

Water memory is a speculation that water is capable of retaining a "memory" of substances

once dissolved in it to arbitrary dilution. Shaking the water at each stage of a serial dilution is

claimed to be necessary for an effect to occur. The concept was proposed by Jacques Benveniste to

explain the purported therapeutic powers of homeopathic remedies, which are prepared by diluting

solutions to such a high degree that not even a single molecule of the original substance remains in

each final preparation. Benveniste sought to prove this basic tenet of homeopathy by conducting an

experiment to be published "independently of homeopathic interests" in a major journal.

While some studies, including Benveniste's, have reported such an effect, double-blind

replications of the experiments involved have failed to reproduce the results, and the concept is not

accepted by the scientific community. Liquid water does not maintain ordered networks of

molecules longer than a small fraction of a nanosecond

Nowadays we discover more and more unusual properties of water and its unending

potential . Examine cutting-edge technology that suggests our thoughts affect the structure of water.

These new discoveries go beyond human reckoning - beyond the solar systems and galaxies to the

source of life itself.

thirds of our planet is still a mystery"2

Water -the foundation of life

Water is the foundation of life. It is still a mystery for science how non-living matter

transformed into a living one. New properties of water have to be studied, though it seems like we

know all about it already.

In March 2004 an American space probe found 'traces’ of water on Mars and salt in a dried

up lake , this made scientists to presume that perhaps there has been and still is life on this planet.

In August 2008 Nasa’s Phoenix lander spacecraft has for the first time identified water in a

sample of soil collected from the planet’s surface.

Scientists are more and more convinced that the availability of water on space objects is

more a rule, than an exception. The paradigm of public thinking with regard to the properties of

water is also changing

NASA announced on November 14, 2009, that a "significant quantity" of frozen water was

found on the Moon. The probe has detected the presence of water in a constantly eclipsed lunar

crater.

Beyond the facts, let's look at the discovery from the position of biophysics. The average

distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384 400 km. Indeed, this scientific achievement overturns the

paradigm for the presence of water in the Solar system. Both Moon and Earth are practically the

same distance from the Sun. The discovery of American scientists will help us to appreciate better

the factors that contribute to the emergence of living matter.

Scientists from the European Southern Observatory working in Chile have found a new

planet outside our solar system that is more like Earth than any other known planet. Although the

new planet is relatively close to us in astronomical terms - less than 200 trillion kilometers away --

astronomers need much more information before they can predict whether it harbors life.

The New Earth-Gliese 581

The new planet is 14 times closer to its sun than the Earth

is to the Sun. But because Gliese 581 is so cool, the planet is not

scorched by solar radiation. It zips around the star at express

speed, making just 13 days to complete an orbit.

"We have estimated that the mean temperature of this super-

Earth lies between 0 and 40°C, and water would thus be liquid," said lead researcher Stephane Udry

of Switzerland's Geneva University.3

"Moreover, its radius should be only 1.5 times the Earth's radius, and models predict that the planet

should be either rocky – like our Earth – or covered with oceans."4

"Liquid water is critical to life as we know it," said Xavier Delfosse, a team member from Grenoble

University in France.

The observatories would seek to identify trace of atmospheric gases such as methane, and even

markers for chlorophyll, the pigment in Earth plants that plays a substantional role in photosynthesis.

My opinion is that it is absolutely possible for the “bio computer” water with its “memory”

and substances with an effort of nature “forces” to create „living” water and in this water -living

cells on the planet Gliese 581 C.

Living organisms and man are complex self-organizing systems. They areopen, because they

continually exchange substances and energy with the environment. The changes in the open systems

are relatively stable in time. The stable correlation between the components in an open system is

called a dissipative structure.

It has been proven experimentally that water is also a self-organizing system 5. The

expectations are that changes in water as a result of an external influence will be relatively stable in

time.

This signifies that water “remembers” physical or chemical influences. The question about

water “memory” is of exceptional interest. Yet one can hardly explain the origination of living

matter without this property. The first research studies, related to the memory of water, were effected

by Deryagin and Churaev (1971). The durability of the results in time after an “activation” with an

alternating magnetic field and upon electrolysis through a nuclear filter were performed by Minenko

(1981) and Evseev (1982). Analyses have been carried out on the changes in the spectrum of natural

waters .

The origination of a living cell is possible under extreme conditions and, with time, the

stabilization of said conditions, which preserves the originating structures. The formed self-

organizing structure aims to safeguard its state from the conditions of the external environment. This

calls for the universal solvent –water – with its unique properties and specific substances. The

vitality of living matter is proved even in the existence of archi-bacteria. They live in conditions of

strong radioactivity, low temperatures, in volcano craters.

It looks like the water drop evaporates gradually. Antonov and Yuskeselieva prove a new

physical effect. The water drop evaporates discreetly (unevenly). This effect depends on the energy

states of the hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the water molecules and the hydrogen

atoms of neighboring molecules.

Water memory

There is indisputable proof that water lies in the foundation of living matter in the favorable

conditions of our planet. Without the property of water “memory”, one could hardly explain the

origination of living matter. The clusters, which interact

with chemical substances, effect evolution.

Two scientists (Antonov and Galabova) prove

through spectral analysis that water is an open and self-

organizing system. Water and the living organisms react

sensitively to energy flows and store information from the

environment. They apply the method of the Differential

Non-equilibrium Energy Spectrum (DNES).

The water molecule clusters are the smallest and most unstable self-organizing structures in

Nature. Changes in the water clusters as a result of internal influences could be relatively stable in

time. The larger the cluster formation, the longer time information is stored regarding the physical or

chemical factor. Stable self-organizing structures are obtained, which could carry future information

concerning living matter.

Water molecules are restructured as a result of external influences. When they have received

energy, they transfer information about their status to neighboring molecules through hydrogen

bonds. This is done on the resonance principle .

In order to explain the structuring of clusters, one should approach it from a quantum-

mechanic way. In the contrary case, one would find it hard to explain how the water molecules are

structured in geometric clusters (“polymers”).

The classic polymer – this is a molecule in which the atoms are connected through covalent

bonds, not through hydrogen ones. It is experimentally proven, that 10% of the hydrogen bonds are

covalent .

cluster

Under certain conditions one could also speak of “activated” water. Yet this statement brings

suspicions in some scientists. It is proven that cancer cells “lacerate” the energy hydrogen bonds

between water molecules the most6. The blood plasma of person who has died from a malignant

tumor does not react to biophysical fields . Yes, water can be ‘activated’ and bear information

regarding the living. Some experiments made by japanese scientist Emoto Masaru shows

crystallized water after a strong earthquake and 3 months later . A conclusion can be drawn from

this experiment too that, under favorable conditions, water can concentrate information in a small

volume of water clusters.

In 1963, the Tanzanian high school student Erasto Mpemba observed that hot water freezes

faster than cold water. This phenomenon is called the “Mpemba effect”. Actually, much earlier than

Mpemba, this unique water property was noted by Aristotle, Francis Bacon, and Rene Descartes.

This phenomenon has been proven with a series of independent experiments. Water demonstrates yet

another one of its strange properties. In my opinion, the explanation is the following: the differential

non-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of boiled water has a smaller average energy of the

hydrogen bonds among the water molecules than the sample having a room temperature7. The boiled

sample needs less energy to begin to structure crystals and to freeze.

First initiatives

BBC science series reported at 09:23 GMT, on Friday, 25 July 2008, that twenty years ago,

in the summer of 1988, the world of science was rocked by one of the most controversial research

papers ever published in the highly-respected journal "Nature."8

The most prominent advocate of the idea of water memory was the French immunologist

Jacques Benveniste. His team at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research

(INSERM) diluted a solution of human antibodies to such a degree that there was no likelihood that

a single molecule remained. Nonetheless, they reported, human basophils responded to the solutions

just as though they had encountered the original antibody (part of the allergic reaction). The effect

was reported only when the solution was shaken violently during dilution. Benveniste stated: "It was

like shaking your car keys in the Seine at Paris and then discovering that water taken from the mouth

of the river would start your car!"9At the time, Benveniste offered no theoretical explanation for the

effect.

Benveniste submitted the research to the prominent science journal Nature for publication.

There was concern on the part of Nature's editorial oversight board that the material, if published,

would lend credibility to homeopathic practitioners even if the effects were not replicable. There was

equal concern that the research was simply wrong, given the changes that it would demand of the

known laws of physics and chemistry. The editor of Nature, John Maddox, stated that, "Our minds

were not so much closed as unready to change our whole view of how science is constructed."

Rejecting the paper on any objective grounds was deemed unsupportable, as there were no

methodological flaws apparent at the time.

In the end, a compromise was reached. The paper was published in Nature Vol. 333 on 30

June 1988, but it was accompanied with an editorial by Maddox that noted "There are good and

particular reasons why prudent people should, for the time being, suspend judgment" and described

some of the fundamental laws of chemistry and physics which it would violate, if shown to be true.

Additionally, Maddox demanded that the experiments be re-run under the supervision of a hand-

picked group of what became known as "ghostbusters", including Maddox, famed magician-cum-

paranormal researcher James Randi, and Walter Stewart, a physicist and free-lance debunker at the

U.S. National Institutes of Health

After the Nature controversy, Benveniste gained the public support of Brian Josephson, a

Nobel laureate physicist with a reputation for openness to paranormal claims. Experiments continued

along the same basic lines, culminating with a 1997 paper claiming the effect could be transmitted

over phone lines. This was followed by two additional papers in 1999 and another on remote-

transmission in 2000 by which time it was claimed that it could also be sent over the internet.

Time magazine reported in 1999 that, in response to skepticism from physicist Robert Park,

Josephson had challenged the American Physical Society (APS) to oversee a replication by

Benveniste. This challenge was to be "a randomized double-blind test", of his claimed ability to

transfer the characteristics of homeopathically diluted water over the Internet. The APS accepted the

challenge and offered to cover the costs of the test. When he heard of this, Randi also offered to

throw in the long-standing $1 million prize for any positive demonstration of the paranormal, to

which Benveniste replied: "Fine to us." in his DigiBio NewsLetter. However, Randi later noted that

Benveniste and Josephson did not follow up on their challenge, mocking their silence on the topic as

if they were missing persons.

An independent test of the 2000 remote-transmission experiment was carried out in the USA

by a team funded by the United States Department of Defense. Using the same experimental devices

and setup as the Benveniste team, they failed to find any effect when running the experiment.

Several "positive" results were noted, however, but only when a particular one of Benveniste's

researchers was running the equipment. "We did not observe systematic influences such as pipetting

differences, contamination, or violations in blinding or randomization that would explain these

effects from the Benveniste investigator. However, our observations do not exclude these

possibilities."

11

Benveniste admitted to having noticed this himself. "He stated that certain individuals

consistently get digital effects and other individuals get no effects or block those effects." The

experiment is notable for the way it attempted to avoid the confrontational nature of the earlier

Maddox test.

Third-party attempts at replication of the Benveniste experiment have failed to produce

positive results that could be independently replicated. In 1993, Nature published a paper describing

a number of follow-up experiments that failed to find a similar effect, and an independent study

published in Experientia in 1992 showed no effect. An international team led by Professor

Madeleine Ennis of Queen's University of Belfast claimed in 1999 to have replicated the Benveniste

results. Randi then forwarded the $1 million challenge to the BBC Horizon program to prove the

"water memory" theory following Ennis' experimental procedure. In response, experiments were

conducted with the Vice-President of the Royal Society, Professor John Enderby, overseeing the

proceedings. The challenge ended with no memory effect observed by the Horizon team. For a piece

on homeopathy, the ABC program 20/20 also attempted, unsuccessfully, to reproduce Ennis's

results.

Research published in 2005 on hydrogen bond network dynamics in water showed that

"liquid water essentially loses the memory of persistent correlations in its structure" within fifty

millionths of a nanosecond.

Emoto's experiments

Masaru Emoto is a Japanese author known for his claim that if human speech or thoughts are

directed at water droplets before they are frozen, images of the resulting water crystals will be

beautiful or ugly depending upon whether the words or thoughts were positive or negative. Emoto

claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of

water.10

10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaru_Emoto, January 15 2010, 23:10:01

12

Scientist Emoto managed to visualize the arrangement of the water molecules in clusters by

freezing the water after different types of influences. The crystals of frozen water are arranged in a

certain way. The ice “remembers” the pre-history of the liquid water phase after an influence has

been effected. He conducted an experiment by influencing water with different frequencies. The

interesting thing is that the higher the frequency, the clearer the pictures. This is a visible proof that

water reacts differently to different influences. .

With the origination and evolution of living matter, the water molecules, the cells and the

tissues exchange biophysical fields among them. Depending on the energy status, the energy from

the environment is either received in the living organisms (“give”mode) or is lost (“take” mode) (Dr.

Ignatov, Antonov,Galabova, 1998). The same authors prove that in “give” and “take” mode an

energy redistribution is effected between water molecules. The duration of the information stored is

four months

From Emoto's work we are provided with factual evidence, that human vibrational energy,

thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that

comprises over seventy percent of a mature human body and covers the same amount of our planet.

Water is the very source of all life on this planet, the quality and integrity are vitally important to all

forms of life.

The body is very much like a sponge and is composed of trillions of chambers called cells

that hold liquid. The quality of our life is directly connected to the quality of our water.

13

Water is a very malleable substance. Its physical shape easily adapts to whatever

environment is present. But its physical appearance is not the only thing that changes, the molecular

shape also changes. The energy or vibrations of the environment will change the molecular shape of

water. In this sense water not only has the ability to visually reflect the environment but it also

molecularly reflects the environment.

Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his

photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field

microscope that has photographic capabilities.

His work clearly demonstrates the diversity of the molecular structure of water and the effect

of the environment upon the structure of the water.

Discover how each source has an effect on the visual photographed structure...

Snow has been falling on the earth for more than a few million years. Each snowflake, as we

have been told, has a very unique shape and structure. By freezing water and taking a photograph of

the structure, as Emoto has done, you get incredible information about the water.

Emoto has discovered many fascinating differences in the crystalline structures of water from

many different sources and different conditions around the planet. Water from pristine mountain

streams and springs show the beautifully formed geometric designs in their crystalline patterns.

Polluted and toxic water from industrial and populated areas and stagnated water from water

pipes and storage dams show definitively distorted and randomly formed crystalline structures.11

Thoughts and Words Affect Water

After seeing water react to different environmental conditions, pollution and music, Mr. Emoto and colleagues decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled, water crystals, using words typed onto paper by a word processor and taped on glass bottles overnight.

The same procedure was performed using the names of deceased persons. The waters were then frozen and photographed.

Masaru Emotos work is a display and powerful tool, that can change our perceptions of

ourselves and the world we live in, forever. We now have an evidence that we can positively heal

and transform ourselves and our planet by the thoughts we choose to think and the ways in which we

put those thoughts into.

Bioresonance and homeopathy

The stability of the clusters depends on the resonance between the separate molecules. The

availability of carbon compounds and ions of chemical elements could lead to an uncompensated

electric charge and potential in a structure that is stable for the effectuation of biological processes.

In the cluster structures, the information between the organic and water molecules can be stored on

the grounds of bioresonance.

The bioresonance frequencies among biophysical fields and water molecules, cells and

tissues are proven. The founder of the bioresonance theory is Dubrov (1980). The bioresonance

manifestations in tissues are proven upon influence of biophysical fields on the visual analyzer in

“give” and “take” mode. The‘bearer’ of biophysical information is also proven with bioresonance.

Comparatively weak electromagnetic and biophysical fields provoke significant biophysical and

biological effects on living organisms. The fundamental thing is that the basic frequencies after

influence of biophysical fields on water and tissues coincide. The basic bioresonance frequencies are

found in the electromagnetic diapason, in which the Earth receives energy from the Sun. And this

energy restructures the bio-computer called water.

There exist interesting proof already that several molecules from a

certain substance can significantly change the structure of water clusters.

Homeopathy is a classical example for this. Experiments were conducted

under the leadership of the eminent French immunologist Benveniste. The

homeopathic principle was reproduced on biological models. When to one

of the immune cells types in man specific antibodies interacting with them

17

were added, a cell reaction was observed. Upon decrease of the concentration of the antibodies in

some dilutions, an effect was observed, and in other cases – it disappeared. Such an alteration of

biological activity of “solutions” was also observed in concentrations when the probability of the

presence of even one protein molecule was only slight. The authors presumed that the transfer of

biological information was due to the “memory” of water.

Thoughts

We've presented the things that we don’t know yet about water, even if we did walk on the

moon or discover the atomic bomb.

What surprises us most about water is that::

1. Water has a changeable structure. The chemical composition remains the same, of course, but

the structure – the physical model of the atoms in the water molecule – can change in unusual

ways. One of the key scientist in this article is Masaru Emoto famous for his water crystal

pictures. This structural water change can be interpreted as a form of water memory, or

information computing.

2. The water structure can be changed by human thoughts or emotions. If the first property is

somehow easier to understand, the second is one of the most surprising and revolutionary

ideas – if proved true.

3. The water structure can affect back our thoughts and emotions. The quality and information

contained in the water can dramatically affect human behavior. Knowing the fact that we’re

80% water, this doesn’t seem too unusual.

4. The structural changes of the water can physically propagate over a variety of other

materials, including air, explaining partially bioresonance and homeopathy.

If all this things are true then we are in front of a major breakthrough. We’re surrounded by

water, we’re made of water so the way in which we interact with this element is fundamental.

18

The most challenging approach about this is the fact that water can act as an information

propagation medium, sort of a computer. A giant super-computer made of water is something even

more revolutionary than Matrix, if you know what I mean. It could be the most advanced yet simple

information storage and computing machine ever invented, a device in front of which even the most

advanced man-made computer will look like a toy.
