New Age of Water
Collagen Water Structure Revealed
Water associated with collagen shows a surprising degree of order. Could
they be the super-conducting channels that enable every single cell within the
body to intercommunicate for perfect coordination? Dr.

The importance of collagen
Collagen is the main protein
in connective tissues of animals and the most abundant protein in mammals.
Connective tissues contain a lot of water; soft connective tissues (all apart
from bones and cartilage) are typically 60 to 70 percent of water by weight.
The proteins together with the water form a liquid crystalline matrix in which
every single cell in the body is embedded, which makes connective tissues
the ideal medium for intercommunication, as I have suggested in my book The Rainbow And The Worm
[1] .

Two-States Water Explains All?
The age-old mystery of water is unfolding as a recent model of a large hydrogen-bonded
water superstructure matches practically all observations. Dr.
Mae-Wan Ho
Weird and wonderful
Water is the most abundant
substance on earth, and life as we know it is impossible without water. There
are very few molecules simpler than water, yet its behaviour is most complex
and unusual. As chemist-natural theologian Lawrence J Henderson pointed out
at length in his book The Fitness of the
Environment published in 1913 [1], the strangeness of water consists of precisely the properties
that make water ‘fit’ for life on earth .

Water and Colloid Crystals
The age-old alchemist’s dream of turning base materials into gold is coming
true in the fabrication of new colloid crystal chips, but the fascinating history
of colloid crystals is still unfolding. Dr.
Mae-Wan Ho
Colloid crystals diversity defies description
Colloids are particles of nanometres (10 -9
m) up to several micrometer dimensions (also commonly referred to as nanoparticles)
that exist as suspensions in water or other solvents; and colloid crystals
are literally crystals made of colloid particles arranged in an orderly way,
like atoms in ordinary crystals. Also like ordinary crystals, and macromolecules
in living organisms, colloid crystals self-assemble, that is, they form spontaneously
when precipitated or evaporated from suspension onto a substrate such as a
carbon or silicon-oxide film. The same colloids can self-assemble into a variety
of crystals according to the conditions of crystallisation, for example, temperature,
pH, ionic and other additives. These three-dimensional colloid crystals are
finding applications as electronic and photonic devices [1].

Water’s Effortless Action at a Distance
Water plays the lead role in living processes through changing between two
states, a brand new understanding of bioenergetics and enzyme action. Dr.
Mae-Wan Ho
Bioenergetics and the great biochemical myth
Bioenergetics is the big problem of how living organisms capture and transform
energy for growth, development, and all that life entails, and it fills many
pages in standard biochemistry textbooks.
In a nutshell, green plants
capture energy from the sun in photosynthesis to make simple carbohydrates
(the building blocks for everything else) from carbon dioxide and water. In
respiration, carbohydrates are broken down ultimately back into carbon dioxide
and water, and along the way, energy is abstracted to make ATP. ATP is also
made in photosynthesis, but the most important job of photosynthesis is capturing
carbon.
