Is the “Memory of Water” a Physical Impossibility?

  • Chapter

Summary

The retaining traces of molecules in polar liquids are discussed by means of the electromagnetic superradiance phenomenon occurring in a dense phase of matter. The superradiance model as proposed by Preparata is applied to polar liquids such as water. Some recent calculable results will be discussed, and summarized to a complete theory.

Zusammenfassung

Das ‘Erinnerungsvermögen’ von Wasser wird an Hand einer ursprünglich von Preparata entwickelten Theorie erklärt. Dieses, auf dem Phänomen der elektromagnetischen Superradianz basierende Modell vermag verbleibende Information von Molekülen in bestimmten Phasen polarer Flüssigkeiten zu erklären. Einige neuere Ergebnisse werden diskutiert und zu einer geschlossenen Theorie zusammengefaßt.
