Benvenuto (versione in italiano)

Buongiorno a tutti,

ho deciso di creare questo blog per condividere con voi i risultati degli approfondimenti fatti in più di 20 anni sull’acqua in tutte le sue manifestazioni. Per cominciare, vorrei condividere tre parole chiave che sono a mio avviso fondamentali per ciò che seguirà:

– consapevolezza

– chiaroveggenza

– olismo

La parola consapevolezza, almeno in Italia, è molto abusata: così tanto che ha perso molto del suo vero significato. La consapevolezza è un evento molto importante che deve generare in noi un senso di immenso stupore e tale da farci compiere progressi significativi in fatto di conoscenza. Quando nei testi cristiani si usa la parola “effatà” (le orecchie si aprono) si vuol significare un’improvvisa illuminazione: così importante da cambiare noi stessi. La consapevolezza per me deve avere esclusivamente questo significato.

Anche la parola chiaroveggenza, almeno in italiano, ha perso il suo significato originale ed è ormai quasi esclusivamente utilizzata per indicare l’attività di maghi, stregoni e indovini. Per me significa invece semplicemente “vedere chiaramente”, cioè liberare la propria mente dalla nebbia e chiarirsi le idee. In un processo di approfondimento, ogni volta che arriviamo a un livello apparente di conoscenza, ci rendiamo conto che è necessario far ”tabula rasa” e ricominciare con un livello di approfondimento superiore finalizzato al raggiungimento di un livello di conoscenza più profondo, e così recursivamente senza mai interrompere il processo (il miglior esempio che mi viene  in mente è la bambolina russa). Quando si arriva ad un livello di profondità di comprensione tale da riuscire a descrivere con semplicità anche ai profani concetti che a prima vista sembrano molto complicati, significa che stiamo cominciando a diventare chiaroveggenti.

Infine, la parola olismo ha recentemente iniziato ad avere un significato assai importante per me. L’approccio scientifico, da Galileo in poi, è sempre stato riduzionista; lo stesso metodo “galileiano” associa le “sensate esperienze” alle “dimostrazioni necessarie”. L’approccio olistico si contrappone a quello riduzionistico perché si basa sull’idea che le proprietà di un sistema non possono essere spiegate esclusivamente tramite lo studio delle sue componenti prese ciascuna singolarmente come presuppone il riduzionismo. Dal punto di vista “olistico”, il comportamento del sistema, cioè dei componenti presi nel loro insieme, è differente dal loro comportamento se presi singolarmente.

Veniamo ora al tema che intendo sviluppare in questo blog. La “casualità” (la gente “distratta” così la chiama) ha voluto che nascessi in un luogo pieno di sorgenti d’acqua: son convinto che l’amore viscerale che provo per questa sostanza sia dovuto a ciò. Nei miei studi universitari, la “casualità” ha voluto che approfondissi la matematica superiore e la meccanica quantistica. Successivamente, sempre la “casualità” ha fatto sì che mi occupassi a livello professionale di ricerca scientifica nel campo della termodinamica, che è il mio attuale lavoro; ma a livello hobbistico ho sempre approfondito i temi legati all’acqua da tutti i punti di vista, e questo perché ne sono innamorato e affascinato. Inconsapevolmente ho sempre distinto “acqua viva” dal resto dell’acqua attribuendo poteri speciali ad essa. Negli ultimi anni, grazie allo studio dell’acqua con l’elettrodinamica quantistica sono entrato nel mondo delle basse energie e ho iniziato a prendere coscienza (consapevolezza) di molti fenomeni che hanno conseguenze, oltre che in fisica teorica, anche in biologia molecolare, sul ciclo della vita, sull’evoluzione, sulla sociologia, ecc. Approfondendo sempre più ho cominciato a  vedere i fenomeni in un modo sempre più chiaro (chiaroveggenza), in particolare lo stretto legame tra mondo inanimato e animato e tra fisica e altre discipline. Ecco che la mia visione delle cose e del mondo è diventata precisamente olistica. Questo è il motivo per cui sento il bisogno di condividere molti concetti che ho acquisito, sia con esperti di fisica come me, ma soprattutto con esperti in biologia, biochimica, sociologia, psicologia, neuroscienza …. Spero che questo blog mi consenta di raggiungere questo obiettivo.

De Aqua

To be able to understand current studies on the primary role of water and its importance for life it is essential to adopt a holistic approach. Science is currently facing the study of water by combining quantum electrodynamics, biology, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology, and this is enabling us to discover new boundaries that have hitherto been unexplored.

After having dealt with some physical and chemical-physical aspects, we now begin a deepening with a holistic approach.

It seems important to me to start with a little bit of history.

For Leonardo da Vinci, water is the driving force of nature.

In human progress, water is of fundamental importance. Irrigation and invention of agriculture, waterwheel and processing of metals, sea and art of navigation and, more generally, almost every

great turning point in the history of humanity has had the water as a protagonist.

The Egyptians knew very well the water (Amenem-et in 1800 B.C. made dam of an entire lake); in three millennia they made dams, canals, reservoirs, spits that remained in use until the times of Cleopatra. In some pyramids, components such as caps, rings, cup joints, copper tubes, etc. have been found. The Egyptians had great ability to identify groundwater. The famous “well of Joseph” (3000 B.C.) near the pyramid of Ghizeh is 90 m deep.

The Cretans were famous for the grandeur of the plants. Between 3000 and 1500 B.C. they created sophisticated wastewater treatment systems. After refreshing himself at the inn, the Minoan citizen reached the palace. Near the palace, for those who came from far to confer to court, there was a public inn, which could be accessed only after stopping in a large room used as a convivial foot bath.

The population of the rich and flourishing civilization of Olinto (348 B.C.) liked to enjoy the luxury of big and small things, among which, for example the bathtub, ignoring that it had been invented 1000 years ago in Crete. At the time of Hippocrates (400 B.C.) in every gym there were showers (cold, of course), in the residences there were cups and latrines and the water supply facilities were of great value. Hippocrates indicated precisely how the shower systems had to be made where the water gushed from masks mounted on columns all around. Hesiod condemned the use of hot water because effeminate.

Archimedes’ screw (also called còclea) is an elementary device used to lift a liquid, or a sandy, gravelly, or crushed material. Today it is also used to produce electricity.

It is attributed to Archimedes on the basis of the testimonies of Diodoro Siculo and of Ateneo. However, recent studies indicate that it could be much earlier than Archimedes as it was used to irrigate the hanging gardens of Babylon. Archimedes, in Alexandria for studies, would have imported in Italy the instrument already known in the Middle-Eastern area; the testimony of Ateneo could support this theory.

Important hydraulic works were also carried out in Jerusalem.

In the VIII century B.C. Hezekiah made two galleries, one of which is an example of engineering among the most daring of antiquity; it crosses the mountain from side to side and, halfway along it is written in Hebrew the day the stonebreakers met. In Jerusalem there is an excavation with a spiral staircase and a tunnel that allowed access to a natural underground cave outside the walls where there was and still is the water that flows. These precautions were used during sieges. The need for “pure” water forced two separate plants.

Herod the Great built a stunning hydraulic enterprise consisting of complex underground canals and huge basins and cisterns. He also built other external cisterns filled daily by thousands of slaves and pack animals. There was also an important thermal establishment just like the Roman ones.

The “Civis romanus” after a “pallacorda” match in the “sphaeristerium”, accessed heated to the “tepidarium” where he was sweating dressed; then he entered the “apodysterium” and, naked, was massaged by the servants with his oils and ointments. If messy it was washed and scraped. After the bath he reached the “calidarium” where he was sweating and conversing. A further sweat to the “laconicum” (torrid because above the “hypocaustum”) where it was washed with jugs of warm and cold recycled water. Then it was scraped with “strigilis” and finally rinsed with a soft sponge. Finally massage with scented oil, possible cold bath in the “frigidarium” and chat with friends until sunset.

Some ideas taken from “DE aqueductu urbis Romae” of Sesto Giulio Frontino (1).

“… The cause of this is attributable to the dishonesty of the fontaneros, who I discovered derive water from the basins for private use. But also a large number of landowners in whose fields runs the aqueduct drills the pipelines, so it happens that the aqueducts slow down their run for the benefit of individuals or to irrigate the gardens. On transgressions of this kind we could not say more or better than what Celio Rufo has shown in his speech … “” …. For this reason it was decided to separate all the aqueducts and reclassify them individually, so that first of all the whole water was used for drinking, the others according to the specific quality were assigned to the appropriate uses. The Anio Vetus, for various reasons and since it is picked up lower and is less clear, was used to irrigate the gardens and for the most modest uses of the city …… ”

Vitruvio(2) in the eighth book by De Architectura reports:

“One of the seven wise men, Thales of Miletus, pointed in the water the principle of everything ….
… Those who exercise priestly dignity according to the Egyptian rite give a demonstration of the fact that at the foundation of everything there is the strength of the water. This is why, when in a jug the water is brought into the sacred enclosure and in the temple with sacred veneration, then they prostrate themselves on the ground and raising their hands to the sky give thanks to the divine generosity for this invention ……
… ..None of the vaulted ceilings in the bath rooms may have a source above them, but the concave surface of the vault, which is overheated by the inflamed steam coming from the warm rooms, attracts the water from the floor, he carries it with him in the curvature of the rooms and holds it due to the hot steam that always pushes upwards ……

…… There are some sour acid veins …. that have the power, if drunk, to dissolve the kidney stones that are formed in the bladder of the human body … ..

… ..In Italy and in the Alps, in the country of Medulies, there is a type of water that makes the throat swell to those who drink it “.

The Middle Ages did not honor the water and for this reason it was characterized by stinking centuries, notorious for the numerous contagious diseases, epidemic and virulent for the foul sores, the invasions of fleas, flies and rats, floods of excrement, waste, dirt of all kinds, from stagnant waters and contaminated by any kind of disease.

However, convents and abbeys were equipped with water supply and drainage systems. It is said that a monk with hot spirits, for example, could be punished with an ice-bath, or sit on his own with his back in a tub full of cold water. The bathroom was expected no more than 3 – 4 times a year. A few extra baths were allowed for the sick.

The non-use of water and plants brought diseases, invasions of insects and rats that came in waves. Panic, death and despair were the daily bread above all of the ignorant vulgar. The only way was the escape by charging the dead bodies of their dead shoulders to throw them into open mass graves from which emanated a stench so unbearable as to prevent people from approaching.

However, the first toilets are just from this age.

The Turkish baths, above all in the licentious Constantinople, became centers of attraction in which splendid girls danced pleasantly naked in water games that were a prelude to libertine meetings. In fact they subsequently turned into brothels.

In 1527, due to the sack of Rome, Clement VII arrived in Orvieto. Fearing to remain without water he had a well of 61 meters deep and more than 13 meters wide. In memory of the most famous one found in the cathedral of Dublin, it was called St. Patrick’s well. On this well there is the inscription: “Quod natura movimento inviderat, industria adiecit” (where nature is lacking, the intervention of the plant engineer is required).

This period was very fertile with inventions of machines of all kinds, among which many suitable for the exploitation of hydraulic and wind energy as a driving force.

In this period the first washbasins and the first luxury bathtubs (comfortable) appear, while there has been an aversion towards the bidet that still remains in the wide fringes of the Anglophone peoples.

In my opinion The most beautiful monument that the humanity has dedicated to water is Villa d’Este in Tivoli (Italy)(3).

“… wherever you turn the watch gushes into it in so many ways and with such a splendid design that it does not exist on all the earth that in this genre is not much less …”(4).

(1)    Sesto Giulio Frontino was born around 40 A.D. in Gaul of Narbonense. His cursus honorum is characteristic of a pre-eminent exponent of the senatorial oligarchy, and this would confirm his kinship with the knight Aulo Giulio Frontino, who married Cornelia Africana, the only daughter of Publio Cornelio Scipione. He became curator aquarum (superintendent of the Rome aqueducts) in 97 A.D., under the emperor Nerva.

Collective phenomena

Physics deals with the study of phenomena using different approaches. In many cases the same phenomena are dealt with different alternative approaches, other times are choosen a certain specific approach because it is considered the most suitable for the study of that particular phenomenon, other times we still do not know alternative approaches to that used by everyone. To continue our reasoning we need to deepen the methods used by physics to address the so-called “collective phenomena” typical of the microcosm we are dealing with. To do this it is inevitable to start from some basic concepts.

Physics divides nature into static and dynamic and studies both quantitatively compared to what philosophy does regarding the equivalent natures of “being”(1) and      “becoming”(2).

Physics attributes immutable or changeable properties (to be measured quantitatively) to matter, just as philosophy deals with “categories” and “accidents”(3).The physics matter has an energetic content that can be potential or kinetic and can transfer as well as in philosophy studies “power” and “act”(4).Physics, just like philosophy, uses analysis and synthesis(5).

Physics requires a vision:

– binocular, dynamic and three-dimensional (dynamic + three-dimensional = four-dimensional)

– both microscopic and macroscopic from the immensely large to the immensely small until the “emptying of space” and vice versa- both scientific (external to man) and humanistic (internal to man)

– both system (collective) and component (individual)(6)

– both deterministic and non-deterministic (eg Eisemberg’s uncertainty principle).

Also in physics the truths are encapsulated(7); phenomena such as the “tunnel effect” show that the classical theory is encapsulated in the quantum one; experiments such as those made with the use of synchrotrone, show that the classical theory is encapsulated in the relativistic one. In physics the exception certainly does not confirm the rule; just to give an example, it is thanks to the discovery of the anomalous behavior of the helium at temperatures below 2 K that studies on the superfluids have begun. Now physicists are questioning the constancy of the speed of light postulated by Einstein; regardless of the outcome of these studies, the only questioning of Einstein’s postulate who knows what interesting discoveries will   generate !!! Although thermodynamics indicates the natural tendency of the universe to disorder, the world of oscillations shows incredible anti-entropy phenomena(8). In physics doubts are welcome. The collective phenomena are those phenomena that occur thanks to the participation of a large number of components and therefore whose problem is not that of the behavior of the individual isolated from the context, but the behavior of the whole. It is a question of explaining how a large number of components cooperate so as to give rise to the system as a whole. The living organism is a typical example of a complex system.Classical physics conceives of all matter as inert (ie to move it, it is necessary to give it a strength) while we know very well that the living one is not. If I drop a clock it touches the ground and it ends there; if I drop an animal, once it has touched the ground it does not end this way because the animal can decide to attack me, to run away, to grumble, etc. The difference lies in the fact that the watch (although it is an object that moves) is a passive object, while the animal is an active object. The clock, while moving, is not capable of spontaneous behavior, the animal yes. Quantum physics has gone a long way in trying to explain the physics of objects that can behave spontaneously precisely because it is able to study the cooperation between the various bodies in the universe. With the study of collective phenomena and complex systems, thanks to quantum physics, all the isolated phenomena typical of classical physics of Galileo and Newton lose meaning. With the advent of quantum physics it becomes impossible to isolate bodies from the rest of the universe(9). In this sense it is improper to say that quantum physics is the physics of the atomic and subatomic world because it was born precisely to answer questions concerning the macroscopic world and to explain how atoms aggregate and generate complex systems.

(1) The Being is a concept that has gone through the whole history of philosophy since its inception. Although already posed by Indian philosophy since the ninth century BC, it is to the Parmenides eleate that we must have started in the West this long debate that runs through the centuries and the different cultures up to the present day. Being is therefore one of the fundamental concepts, if not the fundamental concept, among those elaborated by the tradition of Western philosophical thought. “Being is and it is not possible that it is not … Non-Being is not and must not be” (Parmenides).

(2) The Becoming, understood as change, movement, endless flow of reality, perennial birth and dying of things, was one of the most important concepts on which static ontological visions (such as the Eleatic one) were opposed and of type dynamic (like the Heraclitean and the Leucippian atomism). According to Heraclitus, Becoming becomes the substance of Being, since everything is subject to time and transformation. Even what seems static to sensory perception in truth is dynamic and constantly changing.”… because everything changes, less the law of change”. (Heraclitus).

(3) For Aristotle the categories are the high groups or genera that collect all the properties that can be preached of Being. They are the predications of Being, which refer to primary qualities (the immutable essences of objects), or secondary (the accidents that can change).There are ten categories in all:- essences: substance, quality, quantity, relationship- accidents: where, when, lying, having, doing, sufferingEvery element of reality can be made into one of these categories.It follows that the categories of Aristotle have an objective value, because they refer to concrete entities. Our judgments use them not only according to a purely logical relationship typical of the syllogism, but reuniting them thanks to the intuitive ability to grasp the relationships that actually exist between real objects. But beyond that, to each of the categories refers a part of those semantic constructs of the discourse that have to do with the real world: for example, a name or a noun refers to the category of substance; the adjectives qualifying for quality, those undefined in quantity, or in relation to the relationship, etc.

(4) The two concepts of matter and form are reported in Aristotle to those of power and act. In fact, matter in itself expresses only the possibility, the power, of acquiring a form underway in reality: in order for this passage to take place so that what is possible becomes current, it is necessary that there is already a form in act, a Being implemented .It is clear that the passage from the power (matter) to the act (form), which constitutes the becoming, is such that it can be conceived as endless, since every act becomes power for a subsequent act or better, Aristotle claims, will have as its last term an act that has realized all the powers, all the material potentialities and therefore will no longer have in itself any material element (power) and will then be a pure act, God.

(5) For Descartes, analysis and synthesis carry out a decomposition and composition operation that concerns knowledge.The analysis makes it possible to identify the effects depending on their causes, while the synthesis proceeds by retracing and restoring the relationships identified by the analysis: in more general terms the analysis consists in dividing the cognitive problem into its simpler component parts, with the warning not to proceed too much with the decomposition in order not to lose the overall sense of the problem (which would happen if it were shattered into too small parts);The synthesis consists in putting together the analyzed parts identifying in this way the right structure and composition of the problem to be solved. In Descartes, the analysis proceeds with heuristic purposes while the exposure is entrusted to the synthesis.The heuristic procedure is a method of approach to problem solving that does not follow a clear path, but that relies on the intuition and the temporary state of circumstances, in order to generate new knowledge. The heuristic is an antithetical to the algorithmic procedure.

(6) Collective stands to individual as selfless stands to selfish. On this theme the “Maxwell’s devil” is famous, a mental experiment conceived by Maxwell about the theoretical possibility of a device capable of acting on a microscopic scale on single particles in order to produce a macroscopic violation of the second principle of thermodynamics. This experiment has certainly contributed to the launch of new interesting studies in the field of quantum information. In particular, the principle of Landauer provides that the elimination of information bits produces non-resettable thermal energy in any way confirming experimentally as expected from the second principle of thermodynamics initially put in perhaps by the “devil”.

(7) There are two properties of matter completely different from each other: in fact the gravitational mass, that is the ability of a body to attract (or be attracted to) others, has nothing to do with the inertial mass, that is the reluctance of that same body to change its state of stillness or uniform rectilinear motion. Yet quantitatively the inertial mass coincides “mysteriously” with the gravitational mass and transferring a body from the earth to the moon its gravitational mass (ie its ability to be attracted and attract the moon) is greatly reduced but also its inertial mass (ie the its reluctance to move differently) is greatly reduced, indeed it is reduced in exactly the same proportion !!! Only with the theory of relativity has it become clear that it is the same property that manifests itself in two different forms. Another example of overcoming classical physics is the possibility of transmitting data using gravitational rather than electromagnetic waves as recently published in “Classical and Quantum Gravity” by a group of scientists from RUDN University of Moscow.

(8) In this regard, the mental experiment called “The Schroedinger cat” is very famous. You lock up a cat in a steel box with a hell machine (which it must be protected from the possibility of being grasped directly by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny portion of radioactive substance, so little that in one hour perhaps one of its atoms disintegrates, but it is equally probable that no atom disintegrate; if this happens, then the counter signals it and operates a relay of a hammer that breaks a vial with cyanide. After leaving the whole system undisturbed for an hour, if in the meantime no atom had disintegrated it is plausible that the cat is still alive, otherwise the first atomic disintegration would have poisoned it. The function “PSI” (proportional to the square of probability) of the whole system leads to affirm that in it the ”live cat state” and the “dead cat state” have not been pure states, but mixed with equal weight. Thus, after a certain period of time, the cat is as likely to be as dead as the atom of being decayed. Since until the moment of observation the atom exists in the two superimposed states, the cat remains both alive and dead until the box is opened, ie an observation is not made.

(9) The question of the inert body in nature has been the object of philosophical speculation since the time of Greek thinkers. Democritus in line with classical physics conceived matter as inert and the movement of individual atoms generated random and chaotic collisions (encounters) that gave rise to aggregates. On the other hand, Epicuro’s atoms were able to move autonomously (the “clinamen” of Lucretius) giving rise occasionally to “jolts” and meet; the “Clinamen” (today we would say the fluctuation) for Epicurus, was none other than the manifestation of the love of every atom towards all the others. Wincing, an atom goes towards the others, meets them and generates the aggregates (molecules). For Democritus the creation of the universe requires a God who causes a first push to one or more atoms so that it collides with other atoms giving rise to the aggregates. In other words, for Democritus and for classical physics things can not be born by themselves but they need a God. Classical physics is therefore only apparently secular, because in reality it needs a God. For Epicurus and for quantum physics the matter moves on its own and leaves no space for the Eternal Father unless one imagines an Eternal Father intimately amalgamated with matter (ie imagined as the attribute of matter).

The “principle of minimum stimulus”(1)

Returning to the topics of the blog we had clarified that in the interactions between the electromagnetic radiation and the water molecules present in living matter, the “principle of minimum stimulus” requires that excess energy is not only useless, but even penalizing. From the time of Marconi and Bell to today the earth’s atmosphere has been increasingly flooded with electromagnetic waves of various frequencies. It is a common opinion that the electromagnetic signals of our instruments can not be harmful because they have a low energy content; the principle of minimum stimulus would seem to indicate the exact opposite: they could be particularly harmful precisely because they are not very energetic !!! Certainly the electromagnetic signals were too intense(2) they would generate intolerable temperature increases for the living organism. The first mobile phones placed on the market, in addition to heating the ear so annoying, were also harmful to human health. Today’s cell phones do not heat up and do not bother the ear because they receive low-intensity signals: are we sure they are not harmful(3)?Having clarified that the mechanisms of chemical interaction depend on phase concordances, there is another topic that consolidates the hypothesis of “low energies” (small doses). Recently it has been discovered that all so-called “therapeutic waters”(4) (ie, waters which appear to have beneficial effects on health) are characterized by a high number of nano-aggregates(5). Recent experiments have shown that close to walls containing oscillating electric charges, a phase concordance can be generated between the “almost-free” electrons of the water coherence domains and the oscillating surface charges which gives rise to an extended common consistency that is activate at the same frequency as the oscillating surface charges present in the wall(6). Since the “almost-free” water electrons in the coherence domains have the property of being able to oscillate at many different frequencies, they assume the same frequency as the oscillating surface charges which thus becomes a coherent signal. The surface walls may also consist of the external surfaces of electrically charged granules dispersed in the water. In this way the effect of the oscillating surface charges, rather than having it in the border areas as in the case of containers containing the water, it is homogeneously distributed throughout the volume occupied by the water. This effect is secondary and is added to the pre-existing consistency in the water, stabilizing it, making it totally coherent and all oscillating(7) at the same frequency as the charges oscillating in the surface of the granules.In light of the above, many phenomena that were previously incomprehensible now become clearer. For example the activity of dowsers becomes understandable. Meanwhile, it should be noted that dowsers can not detect stagnant or with laminar flow, but only water with turbulent or swirling flow. If a dowser were asked to detect the flow of water circulating in a radiant floor heating system, he would not notice anything because the flow into the pipes is laminar. This is a fairly unknown fact but that the dowsers know very well. The reason lies in the fact that the static charges (present in stagnant water) and those that move at a constant speed (continuous currents present in the laminar flow) do not generate any electromagnetic field. The dowsers are particularly sensitive to electromagnetic fields and detect those generated by the vortices that “transmit” the water to oscillate in phase with said electromagnetic fields. The first vortexes communicate to the water the frequency of oscillation that is transmitted to all the rest of the water (even to that which is not subject to the vortexes). A lot of research is underway and they focus on the principles that activate the living matter and they focus on the relationships between matter and psyche. In the future it will probably be possible to find therapeutic actions of an exclusively psychic way. For example, suppose that the coherent oscillations of water correspond to what we call “emotions”. At that point, if you manage to govern these oscillations in order to produce particular emotions that give rise to well-defined molecular attractions, we could think of healing diseases no longer with drugs (even those homeopathic), but with the “miracles” , that is, with emotional phenomena that give rise to well-defined beneficial oscillations for the living organism(8).

(1)    On the “principle of minimum stimulus”, see my previous article dated July,28 2018 “Everything fluctuates”; for further information, see the studies of Eva Reich and those of Margherita Tosi.

(2)    Waves do not carry matter but carry energy. The energy carried by the waves is proportional to the square of the wave intensity.

(3)    The doubt is that they can interact unpredictably disturbing phase concordances, destroying the coherence domains and varying some of the syntony frequencies that guarantee correct biochemical reactions. This could modify the sequences of biochemical reactions leading to reactions (or reaction sequences) different from those expected (for example, carcinogenic evolutions, genetic mutations, biological evolution, …).

(4)    The French scientist L. C. Vincent, one of the leading experts in bioelectronics and orthomolecular medicine, was commissioned by the French government in 1956 to justify the different incidence of cancer in the various regions of France; his research has shown that there is a relationship between cancer incidence and quality of drinking water supply; in this case, the cities with the lowest incidence of tumors used water with physical / chemical characteristics very different from those related to the cities with the highest incidence of disease. Later, in 1972, Vincent carried out an experiment on saliva and urine of over 60,000 French and German cancer patients, opening the way for the study of biological soil with an energetic approach. From these studies has emerged the importance of hydrating the body not only in abundance, but above all with water of excellent “physiological” quality. Water has always been considered fundamental for the health of the body. Various waters are considered therapeutic as eg. the thermal waters, the waters considered sacred (of Lourdes, of the Ganges), the healing waters like those drunk by particularly long-lived populations like the Hunza (see studies on the part by the Nobel, H. Coanda). However, despite popular beliefs and historical evidence, scientific studies have so far failed to prove the veracity of such beliefs. In any case, we will return later on this topic and we will talk about the many recent studies in progress on these topics.

(5)    The nano-aggregates may consist of water molecules “physically aggregated” to each other in coherence domains, or from other molecules, or even from the set of the two.

(6)    The frequency of activation of the extended common coherence can not be that of the oscillating superficial charges, because they are the only ones that can not change; on the contrary, as we have seen previously, the frequency of the “almost free” electrons of the coherence domains changes. This topic will be better explored when we deal with the themes of “interfacial water”, of the “exclusion zone” and of the vortices.

(7)    For greater precision it is better to say that it is the “almost free” electrons of the water that oscillate at the same frequency as the oscillating surface charges.

(8)    For rational people, the irrational topics are that which has not yet had a rational explanation, and therefore the true researcher, if he is rational and if he wants to be a true researcher, must necessarily investigate exclusively in the field of the irrational (which for him is only temporarily irrational waiting for him and other rationals like him not to become rational; for irrational people, on the contrary, the irrational corresponds to the impossible). Usually, rational people, in front of phenomena considered irrational, go to seek maliciously a scam starting from the preconception that underneath there is a scam; way they do not study these phenomena thinking that they are not yet understood and, once understood, will they no longer be considered irrational?

Beyond the vector fields boundaries

This article is outside the theme I’m carrying out in the blog. I decided to publish it anyway because the topic seems interesting to me to divulge. It is known that all vector fields that depend exclusively on the radial coordinate (are independent of the angle) admit a potential and the work done by the field in a movement from any point to any other point in space is independent of the type of path chosen for this move. Moreover, if the variability of the field is not only radial but, in particular, it is due to the inverse square of the radius, the field becomes conservative(1).

Some simple examples.

Imagine a cloud of millions of midges buzzing in the air. Imagine drawing a closed surface of any shape that encloses a portion of the cloud of midges. Whether the cloud of flies moves to a certain direction, or whether it remains on average in the same position of space, the number of flies entering the closed surface equals the number of flies coming out of the surface. This concept is valid only if the flies are not disturbed in some way in their buzzing or if midges are not born or die in the volume enclosed by the surface. The first case corresponds to creating a potential difference. E.g. if inside the surface we introduce a little bird the flies fly away radially and in this case the flies will all be outgoing. Or again, if inside the surface we inject a poisonous gas that kills the midges, the number of flies that cross the surface in the unit of time (the algebraic sum of those entering more than those leaving) will equal the number of midges that die in the unity of time. These are intuitive and reasonable concepts. The only small effort is to think of vector fields as if they were fluttering flies.

The differential and integral calculus of vector fields(2) is a very elegant way of dealing with these topics so fascinating that it risks diverting our concentration to the purely mathematical aspects, sometimes making us lose sight of the physical meaning of the phenomena(3).

Given these premises, we can state in extreme synthesis that field theory depends on the type of field and on the modalities of diffusion in space moment by moment: both these entities (vectorial fields and spaces) are susceptible of extension and abstraction. For example, the zero-dimensional space (the point) can be extended to one-dimensional (straight), extensible to two and three-dimensional (Cartesian coordinates in the plane and in space)(4). Mathematically it is possible to increase the number of coordinates (Hilbert spaces) until they become infinite (Banach spaces). Extradimensional extensions are also possible, as in the space-time case where, in addition to adding a “contaminated” temporal coordinate from the spatial variables, the spatial coordinates are also “contaminated” by the temporal coordinate as the Lorenz trasformations allows to make. Incidentally, with the extension to the space-time dimension the electrostatic field becomes electromagnetic and electrodynamic(5) and the gravitational field becomes relativistic. This extension/abstraction process allows us to imagine a possible description of the fields in “spaces” of a completely different nature from those usually treated by field theory.

Even for the vectorial fields it is possible to imagine a process of abstraction. E.g. why not think of a “thought” field, a “love” field, an “information” field? Obviously their domains would be particular “spaces” such as the “space of thought”, the “space of love”, the “information space”. At this point, in analogy to what happens in other fields, on could imagine the validity of principles such as the overlapping effects principle, the “conservation of thought”, etc. With these hypotheses it would be possible to apply field theory also to other “fields” not studied by physics such as those mentioned above. My hypothesis is that in this way it becomes possible to move from a qualitative description (philosophical, sociological, psychological, etc.) to a quantitative description (physical, scientific) of entities such as thought, love, information, etc. The “power of thought”, the “color” of love, “the energy of love, etc. they would become measurable quantities. In analogy to what is done for the vectorial fields studied by physics, e.g. for the “space of thought” it can be imagined initially homogeneous and isotropic and we can imagine a radial or even inverse quadratic radial transmission. Starting from these assumptions, the results would be analyzed, rectifying these hypoteses on the basis of the inconsistencies found until a congruent treatment was reached.

(1) As well known two examples of conservative fields are the electrostatic field and the gravitational field. In the electrostatic field, measurements have been carried out showing that the variability from the inverse square of the distance is valid up to distances of the order of 10-15 meters (nuclear distances). For shorter distances it seems that Coulomb’s law is less; in particular, the experimental results indicate values ​​about 10 times weaker than those calculated with the Coulomb law. One of the hypotheses is that electrons and protons are not point charges but widespread charges. See also E. Williams, J.Faller, H. Hill, New Experimental Test of Coulomb’s Law: A Laboratory Upper Limit on Photon Rest Mass, in Physical Review Letters, vol. 26, No. 12, 1971, pp. 721-724, Bibcode: 1971PhRvL..26..721W, DOI: 10.1103 / PhyRevLett.26.721.

The water “knows”

We have seen that in the sequences of millions of biochemical reactions it is fundamental that the processes are extremely fast and “almost” error free. We have also seen that to justify the existence of these conditions are the water coherence domains and the quantum electrodynamic theorem of Preparata.

Considering that over 99%(1) of our molecules are of water, how come when we are alive we show a certain solid consistency? Evidently because the molecules of water when they are in our body are linked to each other more than they are the same water molecules collected in a container. Evidently for the living beings and the rest of nature, even if the chemistry of water is the same, the physics of water is different. “Inorganic” water is “incoherent” while “organic” water is “coherent”. By becoming part of a living being, water self-organizes itself in a coherent way and thus succeeds, in addition to becoming more “consistent”, above all to generate a type of “information” of a particular type and responsible for the subsistence of life and evolution. Perhaps it is appropriate to better investigate the concept of “information”. Computers are inanimate objects that need electricity and “information” to operate. They are therefore incapable of self-functioning autonomously because they need continuous electricity and very detailed instructions(2). Furthermore, the computer to operate needs input and is not able to act spontaneously. The input must be very precise or it goes wrong. If I ask a robot to bring me the “balle”, he does not understand that I meant “ball” and he does not give it to me but he replies to repeat it because he has not understood. In the case of systems able to self-animate (such as water), this is not true, which is why we must not misunderstand the concept of “information”. To better clarify this concept I find it important to remember the famous experiment “water and DNA” performed by the Nobel Prize winner for medicine Luc Montagnier.The DNA in its activity emits electromagnetic signals. By providing these signals to a container filled with water containing elements of DNA and enzymes that activate the composition, the DNA forms spontaneously. Montagnier, after collecting DNA electromagnetic signals from a Paris laboratory, transmitted these signals to a Benevento laboratory in which there was a test tube containing distilled water, DNA components and enzymes. Due to the distilled water, these electromagnetic signals allowed the formation of the same DNA in Paris at Benevento. In this case the definition of “information” according to the computer theory is improper because the intrinsic information content (ie the wealth of the electromagnetic signal sent) is very small compared to the complexity of the DNA.

This means that water, starting from the little information received from the electromagnetic signal, is able to learn and transfer (without any external input) the amount of additional information necessary to allow the formation of DNA. We should therefore use the term “knowledge” rather than the term “information” and water rather than “informed” is “educated”.It’s like when at a concert the singer mentions the first notes of a song and the audience begins to sing it without having had the need to be sung from beginning to end. So the water: just give it the note “A” and builds itself the whole sequence of biochemical reactions or, even is able to make new ones (so, as well as “know” “create”). All this would explain not only the subsistence of life, but also its evolution(3).

One might think of using this water improperly called “informed” for therapeutic purposes; that is, to give to a human being in which his network of signals is “damaged”, in whole or in part, a sample of water that contains all the signals so that these signals restart the whole mechanism. The fact is, however, that these signals interact in an environment that already has its signals (“damaged” or not) that can therefore interact positively or not with new signals introduced. This would explain why these are non-deterministic processes(4). These are “advice” rather than “commands” and as “advice”, they can be accepted or not by the environment.

The sequence of biochemical reactions occurs only if the phase concordance is reached (ie the coincidence of the oscillation frequencies of the reagents is reached) while the amount of energy exchanged is irrelevant and if it were too much it would become harmful because it would lead to the modification of the oscillation frequencies risking to lose the phase concordance expected and thus disrupting the correct sequence of biochemical reactions(5).

In order for the process to be optimal, it is necessary that the energy flows are lower than those that could generate phase discrepancy or, in other words, the temperature must not rise too much, generating variations that exceed the tolerance of phase concordance. It is evident that we are dealing with completely different mechanisms from those occurring at high energies. Here, with the low energies, the “principle of the minimum stimulus” applies. Therapeutically the stimulus is all the more effective the less intense it is(6).

(1)    It is true that by measuring the percentage by weight the percentage of water is only 60/70% but this because the organic molecules are much heavier than those of water, but if we reason in terms of the number of molecules the percentage of water molecules just reaches over 99%. If we consider that for example sea water is a 96% solution, we discover that the human body is a very diluted aqueous solution.

(2)    Let’s take a practical example. If we want a computer to draw a parabola on the screen I have to use an advanced programming language (Pascal, C, Fortran, Java, etc.) that allows you to write a list of instructions that allow you to draw a parabola from a certain number of data input with the keyboard. Any instruction used by the programming language consists in turn of a list of elementary instructions that transform a sequence of “1” and “0” (true or false). E.g. the programming in “Assembler” is very close to the so-called “machine language”, ie the programming through the use of a sequence of “1” and “0”. Those who are familiar with Boolean algebra know that every complex logical expression can be simplified in a sequence of elementary conditions (“true” / “false”) linked by parentheses and logical operators “and” and “or”. It is enough that an instruction is missing or it is incorrect and the computer instead of drawing a parabola goes wrong. In the same way, if the computer does not receive one or more keyboard inputs, it certainly does not draw the parabola. Finally, if the computer is not electrically powered it is not able to operate.

(3)    That is, if there should be further possibilities (eg new molecules), the process can go on in new directions and this explanes how evolution takes place over time. The process of evolution is not a closed but open process.

(4)   The example is that of many things written in this blog: if they come to the attention of some followers maybe they are rejected, while if they come to the attention of other followers they are accepted. In the same way, the electromagnetic signals coming from outside can find environments containing other “confused” signals that “accept” the new external signals and other environments that reject them.The studies done by Benveniste on the memory of water, have failed to demonstrate the goodness of the experiments precisely because of their non-repeatability (the so-called Galilean method). His theories (which, among other things, have led to the development of homeopathy), even after having studied them in depth, have not convinced me, nevertheless context the fact that they were rejected for the sole fact that they did not guarantee repeatability.

(5)    In case of excess of energy it leads to an increase in body temperature (fever). At the microscopic level it means that as a form of protection, the surplus of energy rather than generating greater oscillation frequencies generates greater thermal agitation (faster movements of the molecules).

The dream of Prigogine (1)

We have previously said that the configuration of the “almost free” electrons of the water, compared to the valence electrons in the metals, keep the electrons close to the atoms and allows the coherence domain to oscillate; this is why oscillation is possible for water and not for metals. The water is on the border between the insulators and the conductors; it generally behaves like an excellent insulator (to free the electron of hydrogen it takes well 13.6 eV) but when it is in the configuration of “Almost free” electron, behaves like an excellent conductor(2). The same mechanism that allows the formation of coherence domains also allows for higher level coherences where numerous consistency domains (from about 1/10 micron each) coherently oscillate together.

Since the number of possible configurations for each coherence domain is very high, also the possible coherences are many and such to form a hierarchy of levels of groups of domains each having its own characteristic frequency of oscillation. All this means that small energetic jumps are sufficient to allow water – simultaneously with very different frequencies all different from one another – to oscillate from one configuration to another(3) allowing to produce very complicated resulting electromagnetic fields. In summary, the surrounding environment gives water (disordered) energy that is used by water to generate (using the “almost free” electrons) coherence domains that in turn generate domains of domains, which in turn generate domains of domains of domains, up to the size domains of a whale … .. The domains of coherence are ordered and ordering systems that take energy from the disordered and disordering surrounding environment. Here the coherence domains realize precisely those dissipative systems (of which Prigogine speaks) able to spontaneously generate order. It’s like when, blowing “untidy” air on a clarinet an “ordered” sound comes out. Here is a tangible example (like that of the metronomes) of spontaneous reduction of entropy, of creating order starting from disorder(4).

The domains, being coherent, do not decay (they remain for very long times) and in the meantime, over time, others are continuously added. The “sum” (better to say overlap) of coherent excitations is also a coherent excitation but, just as with all types of waves when they are coherent, intensities increase and energy increases accordingly(5). We are witnessing a typical phenomenon of low energy: instead of acting with fast transfers of large quantities of energy (high energy), here we have a very large number of tiny simultaneous transfers of energy that (not being dissipative systems) accumulate over time thus increasing gradually the amount of energy at stake. To transport a large load from Rome to Paris, I can decide to do only one short-haul transport, or many small transports, both contemporary and sequential.

Ultimately living beings, based on this mechanism, allow the transformation of the incoherent energy of the environment into coherent energy. This has a sequential effect on biochemical activity because, based on the fact that the creation of coherence is accompanied by an electromagnetic field that oscillates at a given frequency, there is a theorem in electrodynamics (quantum electrodynamic coherence theorem(6)) that says that if I have an extended electromagnetic field that oscillates with a certain frequency “0” and I take two molecules, one of which oscillates with frequency “1” and the other that oscillates with frequency “2”, between these 2 molecules is established a force that depends on the values ​​of the three frequencies which, in general, is a very small (negligible) force, but becomes large (and important here) in the case where the three frequencies coincide. Based on this theorem, if two molecules resonate at the same frequency of a coherence domain within which they pass, these molecules attract even if they are at great distances between them. The maximum distance that this mechanism allows is the distance of the coherence domain. This attraction makes them meet and react. This reaction produces energy that is absorbed by the electromagnetic field. The energy produced by the biochemical reaction changes the frequency in the field. The new frequency activates biochemical molecules that are at the new frequency and that react with each other. In this way I obtain a sequence of biochemical reactions able to self-regulate because each step (reaction) of this sequence of reactions uniquely defines what will be the next step (reaction). This explanation would solve a mystery of molecular biology because a large number of biological processes are traced back to ordered sequences of biochemical reactions. For example, to move a glass from a position “1” to a position “2” with one hand, the molecule “A” must react with the molecule “B”, then the molecule “C” reacts with the “D” “, Then that the molecule” E “reacts with the” F “, etc. for a sequence of millions of biochemical reactions. Only at the end of this long sequence of reactions will the glass be in position “2”. In order for this to happen, it is necessary that the molecule “A” reacts with the molecule “B” and only with it, that the molecule “C” reacts with the “D” and only with it, that the molecule “E” reacts with the ” F “and only with it, etc. It is also necessary that all the molecules of all the reactions of the sequence, none excluded, recognize each other and meet to react despite being distant from one another(7). In addition, the reactions must be extremely fast: the movement of the glass lasts a few seconds and, in these few seconds, millions of sequential biochemical reactions must take place. Finally, the whole process must be almost free of errors so that, instead of moving the glass, anything else is done. I say “almost error free” and not “error free” because while a software algorithm allows an artificial arm of a robot to always move the glass exactly the same way, this does not happen in the case of biological movements. Not even the most virtuous violinist ever existed would be able to perform a piece of music always exactly the same way: between an execution and the other there are always minimal differences that make each performance unique. This is another fundamental requirement for there to be evolution. We are imagining an evolution very different from that imagined by Darwin; Darwin claims that among a myriad of disordered and disordering events, stochastically from time to time someone ordered and ordering that generates evolution: here we have the case instead of a myriad of events ordered and ordering from time to time there is some disordered event but it too ordering that changes the sequence of events by making it evolve to another direction. This new direction may be a dead end or a new evolutionary trend. Ultimately, for chemistry the meeting of molecules to react is random; in our case it can not be random because it would take too long and because it could lead to completely different reactions from those of the established sequence. The chemical agent that allows all these conditions and above all that prevents unwanted biochemical reactions is water. The password that allows the correct chemical reactions and not others is the frequency.

(1)    Ilya Prigogine (Moscow, 25 January 1917 – Brussels, 28 May 2003) was a Belgian-born Russian national chemist and physicist, well known for his theories of dissipative structures, complex systems and irreversibility. In 1977 he received the Nobel Prize for chemistry for his theories concerning thermodynamics applied to complex systems far from equilibrium. In the thought of Prigogine, the concept of entropy, or the second principle of thermodynamics, is of crucial importance: every natural process, in fact, is irreversible and tends to increase its entropy (and that of the environment in which it is located). Time too, as a succession of always different states, must be conceived as irreversible, and is subject to entropy in turn. However, in nature there are living organisms able to self-organize themselves by decreasing their entropy to the detriment of the environment, bound to a greater or less entropic disorder. Starting from these considerations, Prigogine and other scientists (including Francisco Varela, Harold Morowitz and Enzo Tiezzi) began to bridge the gap between physics, chemistry, ecology and the social sciences, to study these sectors not separately but as interacting systems between them. For this reason Prigogine is considered one of the pioneers of the so-called science of complexity. In recent years Prigogine worked on the mathematics of non-linear and chaotic systems and proposed the use of Hilbert space extended in quantum mechanics as a possible tool to introduce irreversibility even in quantum systems. . (From Wikipedia).

(2)    I must mention two apparently strange natural phenomena. Lightning can not form if the relative humidity of the air is not high enough (apart from cases of sand storms, blizzards, clouds of volcanic dust, “lightning strikes”). But if water, like air, is an excellent insulator, how does it allow lightning to propagate? The potential difference between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere is 200/500 kV, corresponding to a current density of only 2 pA / m2 (2 thousandths of a billionth of Ampere per m2). The potential difference is guaranteed by a thunderstorm 30/100 lightening / second activity (about 5,000,000 lightning bolts per day). None of the two current hypotheses on the mechanism of lightning (convective theory and gravitational theory) is able to adequately explain the mechanism of lightning. Perhaps the explanation for this problem can be found by hypothesizing that the friction of water due to strong upward / descending currents favors the configuration of “almost free” electrons. Another question not sufficiently explained: if we (and more generally all living things) are made of water and water is an excellent insulation why we take the shock? Maybe because the consistency domains oscillate between a non-excited configuration and one of almost free electrons. We will go deeper into this topic later on, when we’ll talk about hydrogen bonding, interfacial water, the fourth phase of water.

(3)    The overlapping of oscillations at different frequencies (and phases) is a typical phenomenon of wave propagation (sound, marine, electromagnetic, quantum, seismic, etc.). Using the same formulas (wave equations, beats, modulations, lateral bands, etc.) and the same mathematical tools (trigonometry, imaginary exponentials, series and Fourier transforms) we can also study in detail the effects of the simultaneous oscillations of the water at different frequencies.

(4)    Evolutionists may perhaps be inspired by these considerations to search for alternative theories to Darwinism, neo-Darwinism, creationism …. since none of these theories is proving sustainable.

(5)   Although the frequency is the same, the phase difference causes the overlap of sinusoidal functions while respecting the principle of superposition of the effects from place to resulting waves having greater intensity but different from the sum of the intensities, frequency different from the sum of the frequencies and phases different from the sum of the phases. Energy is proportional to the square of intensity and increases even more complicated.

(6)   QED Coherence in Matter, World Scientific, 1995 – Giuliano Preparata

(7)    The coherence domain has dimensions of the order of 1/10 of a micron, a monosaccharide e.g. it has dimensions equal to about 0.5 nm (200 times smaller): it is as if two bodies of one meter size have to interact at 200 m distance.

 

Low energies and inbound response

The state of coherence is easily achievable provided that there is a “medium” that allows the oscillators to “communicate” with each other. One of the many examples can be seen at “https://you.be/u73T3FZp7kg” where 32 metronomes are randomly oscillated (with different phases) but at the same frequency; after about 4 minutes they will all oscillate in phase. This is possible because the metronomes are all resting on a shelf that can swing too. It is precisely the shelf that “communicates” to all the metronomes what the common phase of synchronization must be. Using the analogy of “self-synchronizing” metronomes, in the universe the vacuum (quantum vacuum, not classical) is the “mobile support” that allows the self-synchronization of everything that exists in the universe (if prefers, the “sea” on which the existing “floats”). In living beings, the “shelf” consists of water.

Amplification requires coherence because the tuning is not enough. Achieving the state of coherence allows ordered (antientropic) and non-dispersive energy exchanges. If we had momentarily the possibility of eliminating the disordered and disordering “high energies”, we would perceive a world made up of a multitude of oscillations of every kind able to mutually exchange orderly and ordering “low energies”. The world of low energies manifests itself harmonious and cooperative compared to that of high energies that rewards competition and disharmony. Oscillations at different frequencies (obviously not multiple of π) allow in the same place and simultaneous but not overlapping energy exchanges.

The physics of Newton and Galileo teaches us that the motion of a body can only be changed by a force external to the body (principle of inertia). Who could have imparted the initial external force capable of animating “in principle” the bodies of the universe? As you can see, there is not much difference between classical physicists and men of faith !! The quantum physicists who agree to drop the statement n. 3 of Bell, arguing that physical reality does not necessarily have to be describable as a set of events located in space-time and thus overcoming the principle of inertia accepts that bodies can “self-animate”. Seemingly quantum physics would be able to do without God, unless we transform the God “external to bodies” into a “God within bodies” capable of self-animating them; in this sense, the statement: “God is in heaven, on earth and everywhere” would be better specified: “God is in heaven, on earth and in every body … .. within them”. Transcendence “invades” even immanence by understanding it “.

The German physiologists Weber and Feckner have enunciated a law according to which the response to a stimulus is not proportional to the intensity of the stimulus, but to the logarithm of the stimulus. This means that if the stimulus is less than 1, the logarithm becomes negative, that is, the response to the stimulus becomes negative but, even worse, the smaller the stimulus, the more its response tends to minus infinite! What does “negative response” mean? It means “inbound” rather than “outbound” (not to be confused with implosion vs explosion). In low-energy physics it would seem that low stimulus, instead of generating external and destructive effects, would generate “mutant”, “constructive”, “ordained” inner effects. Genetic mutations? I do not know, but it is certain that the lower the energies are at stake, the larger the “constructive mutations” (constructive in the sense of Prigogine, that is, antientropic). Those working in the field of electromagnetic waves argue that the energies involved are minimal and therefore harmless. According to the logarithmic law, precisely because they are very low they could have very big effects !! The old phones needed a lot of (high) energy and warmed the ear, but it was a “harmless” and weak “outbound” response. Is not that now that they consume less they can have a strong “inbound” response?

Water coherence domains

All the oscillations related to the molecules constitute in general an incoherent system(1) and only under certain conditions, limited to a more or less large space that contains a certain number of molecules – called coherence domain – it is possible to obtain a state of coherence.

In the case of water, the oscillation that gives rise to the state of coherence occurs between a configuration (not excited) in which the electrons are all strongly linked to the molecule and an (excited) configuration in which an electron for each molecule results “almost free”. Be careful that “almost free” does not mean “totally free”, like in the case of metals. In metals, the electrons move away enormously from the original molecules of belonging. For example, in a small-section copper electric cable, the electrons (of valence) related to the atoms inside the section migrate towards the periphery of the section (ie in the border area between copper and insulator), then, if the atom has the dimensions of a ten millionth of millimeter and the radius of the part in copper is equal to an example to a millimeter, the distance of which they depart the valence electrons belonging to atoms located at the center of the cable is ten million times the size of the atom of belonging. It is as if a pingpong ball moves away from its original position of 40 km !!!! If an alternating voltage(2) is applied to the cable, the electrons would axially alternate back and forth in a distance between 1 and 10 microns from the initial rest position. If the voltage is continuous the electron would move away more and more to a drifting speed included between 0.1 mm/s and 1 mm/s; It is as if the pingpong ball goes away of 40 km every second for all the duration of the tension exerted on the ends of the electric cable !!!. Here, in the case of water, in the excited state to which I mentioned before the electrons are “almost free” and therefore, compared to the case of metals, in this case, although free, they remain very close to the molecule of belonging.

Another aspect that I want to highlight is that in the non-excited configuration of the water molecule with respect to the “almost free” configuration, to free an electron it takes a energy of 13.6 eV(3), corresponding to heat the water up to 158.000 °C (4) or to bombard it with very hi-frequency ultraviolet rays (almost X-rays) (5) !!! It is a huge energy and therefore an extremely stable configuration. This means that the oscillation that gives rise to a coherent state passes from a condition of extreme stability in which the water behaves like an excellent electrical insulator to a completely opposite configuration (excellent conductor).

What is the frequency (and therefore the wavelength) corresponding to this coherent oscillation? The wavelength is equal to 0.1 micron (equal to one ten thousandth of a millimeter) and therefore the frequency is equal to 300 PHz (300 thousand of billions of cycles per second). The ultraviolet radiation is between 400 nm and 10 nm (749 THz and 30 PHz) and therefore a wavelength equal to 0.1 micron = 100 nm is included in the ultraviolet band. Thus the base radiation capable of creating this coherent oscillation state on the water electrons belongs to the ultraviolet band.

What size does the coherence domain have? It is approximately equal to the wavelength of the electromagnetic field which gives rise to the fluctuation, ie 0.1 micron. Thus all the water molecules contained in a space having a radius of about 0.1 microns, if activated by ultraviolet radiation with a frequency of 300 PHz, oscillate in a coherent manner. Since the water molecule has an average diameter of the order of 1 Ängstrom (one ten millionth of mm) and the size of the coherence domain is 0.1 microns (one ten thousandth of a millimeter), a consistency domain is large about a thousand times the size of the water molecule; just to make a comparison, if the water molecule has a diameter of one meter, the coherence domain would have a radius of 1 km.

Finally, one last question: how many water molecules are there in a coherent domain? A consistency domain contains about 20 million molecules (6).

Now we have all the ingredients that allow us to deepen the effects of the interaction between forcing ultraviolet radiation and electrons of water molecules and its incredible consequences.

(1)    they oscillate with different phases covering, in the multitude, statistically and meanly the whole range of possible phase shifts. We know that the multiple phase displacements of 2π result in phase with the corresponding phase displacements between 0 and 2π; e.g. displacements between oscillations equal to α, α + 2π, α + 4π, α + nπ are all in phase with each other, so the range of phase displacements that are of interest to analyze is only that between 0 and 2π.

(2)    Are been considered a drift velocity of the electrons between 0.1 and 1 and 1 mm / s and a network frequency equal to 50 Hz (a semifrequency equal to 100 Hz).

(3)    This energy can be easily calculated starting from Eisenberg’s principle p x r >= h/2. Therefore the order of magnitude of the momentum will be approximately equal to p≈h/r. The kinetic energy of the electron will therefore be equal to mv2/2 = p2/2m = h2/2mr2 while the potential energy will be equal to -qpqe/4πε0r. Therefore the total energy will be equal to

E = h2/2mr– qpqe/4πε0r

Where h is Planck’s constant of 6.626 x 10-34 J • s, m is the electron mass of 9.109 x 10-31 kg, qp and qe are respectively the charges of electron and proton equal to 1,602 x 10-19 C and r is the distance of the electron from the still unknown nucleus. To find the most probable distance we derive the energy with respect to the distance and equal it to 0 in order to find the minimum energy distance:

dE/dr = -h2/2mr3 + qpqe/4πε0r2

Placing dE / dr = 0 we obtain r0 = 0.528 x 10-10 m = 0.528 angstrom (called Bohr radius) which represents the radius of the spherical surface of maximum probability in which to find the electron of the hydrogen atom. At this point it is sufficient to replace this value in the energy equation and we obtain E0 = -13,6 eV   (1 eV = 1,602176565 x 10-19 J).

(4)    Considering that 1 eV is equal to 1.6 * 10-19 J and that the Boltzman constant is equal to Kb = 1.38 * 10-23 J / K, 13.6 eV correspond to an increase of temperature equal to about 158.000 K ≈ 158.000 ° C (we are neglecting the 273.15 K of translating Kelvion and Celsius scales because is irrelevant).

(5)    For the incident radiation the energy corresponding to 13.6 eV is equal to hν being “ν” the frequency of the radiation and “h” the Planck constant equal to 4.136 * 10-15 eV. the frequency necessary to release this energy corresponds to 13.6 / 4.136 * 10-15 = 3.29 * 1015, ie about 3 PHz. Taking into account that the X-ray band starts at 30 PHz we see that we are very close to X-rays. This simple calculation makes us observe that the UV are not all the same. Those naturally filtered by the atmosphere are closer to λ = 400 nm (near the visible band and therefore not too high energies) but it is sufficient to go down to only 250 nm (the length emitted by the mercury vapors used for vermicide lamps is equal to 254 nm) is such radiation is already able to destroy the molecular bonds of the DNA of microorganisms, producing thymine dimers in their DNA and destroying them, rendering them harmless or preventing their growth and reproduction. In our example we are talking about 3 PHz corresponding to λ = 100 nm, therefore well below 254 nm of mercury vapor.

Water anomalies

Water is an extraordinary substance and shows abnormal behavior from many points of view. In 2003 Martin Chaplin created a site that constantly updates where he describes more than 70 anomalous water behaviors subdividing them into phase, density, material, thermodynamic, physical anomalies (1).

The small size of the water molecule, its lightness, the high difference in electronegativity of its constituent atoms and the asymmetric angle between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms explain almost all the anomalous behavior of the water. The apparent simplicity of the water molecule does not seem to justify the incredible ability to favor structures and interactions at a much more articulate level of organization of the molecular matter.

The water molecule consists of an oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. The distance between each hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom is on average 0.9585 Ängström and the two hydrogen atoms form with the oxygen atom an average angle of 104.45 °. I say average values ​​because in the molecule in reality there are various kinds of oscillations (removal / approach of the atoms of hydrogen to that of oxygen, variation of the angle between the oxygen atom and the two of hydrogen, torsions in the three directions of space) they make constantly changing angles and distances. In order to better frame the problem, the average oxygen atom diameter is about 1.2 Ängström and that of hydrogen is about 1.06 Ängström (1 Ängström is equal to one ten millionth of a millimeter and a ten thousandth of micron).

The atoms constituting the water molecule pool two pairs of electrons to form a dipole molecule (because the attraction exerted by oxygen is greater than that exerted by hydrogen). This dipolarity makes electropositive hydrogen and electronegative oxygen allowing the existence of a covalent bond at a stable angle (asymmetrical and oscillating around 104.45 °). Moreover this dipolarity makes possible the bond (called hydrogen bridge bond) between hydrogen atoms of a molecule and oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules. Being a dipole of quite large dimensions, the water molecule can be influenced by external electromagnetic fields. Many anomalies of water are attributable to these characteristics, especially to the hydrogen bonds that are formed and destroy continuously.

It would be too long to describe in detail each anomalous behavior of water and explain the chemical and physical reasons for this behavior, for which we mention only some of them referring to Martin Chaplin for further information.

Water has unique moisturizing properties towards important biological macromolecules (in particular proteins and nucleic acids) that determine in solution their three-dimensional structures, and therefore their biological functions. This hydration forms gels that can undergo reversibly the gel-sol phase transitions that underlie many cellular mechanisms.

Substances such as hydrocarbons and fats, being non-polar, are not very soluble or insoluble (hydrophobic substances) while others (proteins, polysaccharides, DNA indispensable for cell functioning) are very soluble (hydrophilic).

The high breaking speed / continuous reconstitution of the hydrogen bonds makes the water less viscous.

The high dielectric constant allows water to easily interact with electromagnetic fields and easily solubilize ionic or very polar compounds.

Due to the small dimensions that allow water molecules to come between one ion and another or between one molecule and another, it is one of the best solvents. To give just one example, the lattice constant of a sodium chloride crystal is equal to 0.564 nanometers (five ten millionths of a meter = five ten thousandths of a micron); this means that the water molecule being five times smaller, can easily enter the crystalline lattice of sodium chloride. Furthermore, depending on the polarity of the ions involved, it is able to interact electrostatically (or to form hydrogen bonds) generating forces that break the crystalline structure (in chemical lexicon this “siege” of the solute ions by the water molecules it is called solvatation).

The water is permanently present on the earth both in the liquid state, in the solid state and in the gaseous state (thus making life on earth possible as we know it).It is odorless, colorless and transparent (therefore it allows the photosynthesis of aquatic plants).The specific heat is very high (only hydrogen, helium and a few other substances have such a high specific heat, because the energy given to the water molecules when it is heated, in addition to shaking the molecules more, also serves to break the hydrogen bonds (starting from the liquefaction temperature, when the temperature rises, the hydrogen bonds begin to break, which are reduced as the temperature rises until it disappears with complete evaporation) .This feature is very useful for an optimal thermoregulation of the beings living, in addition the large amount of water present in the earth’s surface allows good climatic thermoregulation.

The latent heat of fusion is very high due to the fact that, once the evaporation temperature is reached, 75% of the hydrogen bonds are still present; also the latent heat of fusion is very high. These peculiarities are very important for the climate on earth, in fact the water thanks to these high latent heat can thermoregulate mitigating temperature fluctuations.Ice is 9% less dense than water and is an excellent insulation (floating in water allows life even in the waters in icy areas of the earth).The water molecule is so small and so light that it should evaporate at -80 ° C (and instead on earth, depending on atmospheric pressure, it evaporates between 68 ° C and 100 ° C) and should freeze -100 ° Cinstead of 0 ° C; reaches its maximum density at 3.98 ° C as well as its maximum degree of vitality (2).
