Water Dynamics at the Root of Metamorphosis in Living Organisms

Abstract

Liquid water has been recognized long ago to be the matrix of many processes, including life and also rock dynamics. Interactions among biomolecules occur very differently in a non-aqueous system and are unable to produce life. This ability to make living processes possible implies a very peculiar structure of liquid water. According to modern Quantum Field Theory (QFT), a complementary principle (in the sense of Niels Bohr) holds between the number N of field quanta (including the matter field whose quanta are just the atoms/molecules) and the phase Ф. This means that when we focus on the atomic structure of matter it loses its coherence properties and, vice versa, when we examine the phase dynamics of the system its atomic structure becomes undefined. Superfluid liquid Helium is the first example of this peculiar quantum dynamics. In the present paper we show how consideration of the phase dynamics of liquid water makes the understanding of its peculiar role in the onset of self-organization in living organisms and in ecosystems possible.

Emergence of the Coherent Structure of Liquid Water

“…In the following we will present a description of the QED results in more physical terms than in Reference [4], giving a physical intuition of the process of the emergence of coherence. The role of water coherence in biological organisms has been discussed in Reference [9].…”

“…In Appendix A we derive explicitly such solutions by introducing the Ansatz Equation (18) into Equations (5,(7)(8)(9). This solution will be expressed through an elegant geometrical method [15] by transforming the above equations into parametric equations.…”

Empirical Data Confirm Autism Symptoms Related to Aluminum and Acetaminophen Exposure

“…Thus, a focus limited solely to genetics and molecular biology is likely to be misguided. Long-range, dynamically-structured interfacial water is the medium which, when energy-loaded, both conveys the biological message and overcomes the thermal diffusion problem [65,66]. When interfacial water is energy-unloaded, the biological message is corrupted: unfolded protein responses and apoptosis follow.…”

Biophysical Properties of Liquid Water Exposed to EM Radio Frequency Radiation

“…As water is the main medium where the major part of biochemical reactions is taking place, it is supposed that the environmental exposures to natural and artificial EM fields may change metabolic activity of cells and organisms using body's water as a primary receptor of the EM field (Shalatonin, 2008(Shalatonin, , 2009. Increased knowledge of the mechanisms underlying electromagnetic information storage, amplification and transduction by water may give us a fundamentally new comprehension of the processes operating in the water within biological systems (Del Giudice et al, 2010).…”
