Our water is a marvellous resolution – regularly at the movement in thecycle of nature – and a situation for all lifestyles. Water is alwayschanging shape, from liquid to vapour to ice, and again again.Water is cyclic and has been functioned this manner for billions ofyears. each existence on the earth is determined by water; computersimulation has proven that the DNA helix breaks aside if it ismodelled with out water.Water is a chemical union of hydrogen and oxygen. The watermolecule is a dipole; the atoms are joined in an asymmetricalmanner that provides one finish a surplus of optimistic electricalenergy and the opposite finish a surplus of detrimental electricalenergy. Water is heaviest now not at 0°C, its freezing aspect, yet at+4°C. If it have been heaviest at 0°C then ice may shape first at thebottom of rivers and lakes; the fish might die and the ice wouldnot soften within the spring. could there be lifestyles on the earth in thatevent?

Example text

If water did not have its unique characteristics, life would not have arisen and life would not exist. It is similar regarding a number of other constants in nature: if they were not exactly the as they are, life would never have arisen. What if, for instance – as Martin Rees discusses in his book Just Six Numbers31 – electromagnetic force were not exactly 1036 times stronger than the force of gravity? If it were a couple of zeros less, only a short-lived universe could exist. If it were a couple of zeros greater, no stars could form.

And 52 more than that, the holographic model was also capable of explaining problems that had been ‘inexplicable’ (and therefore denied by scientists), among which are telepathy, precognition, near death experiences (NDEs), out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and psychokinesis. 25 It may be that in spite of the fact that the Big Bang, for example, is accepted by the majority of scientists although it cannot be proven, most of them are more restrictive when it comes to things like near death experiences and so on.

56 Water becomes more difficult to describe the lower the temperature gets, since more and more phenomena and structures are able to occur then. There are eighteen different crystal forms, for example, and complicated links between the electrons in the water molecules. 57 Water as Energy – and Waste Product29 Interest in fuel cells is increasing across the world. Fuel cells yield low emissions, high efficiency and are simple to operate. If the fuel cell runs on hydrogen gas and air, the exhaust consists only of water.
