Are Its Secrets the Keys to Solving Today’s Most Vexing Problems?

Our thinking apparatus runs on water. Our physical bodies are two-thirds water, so obviously its qualities can heal or harm us. We now learn that water seems to remember and later convey “information”. No wonder the most dynamic frontier in science today is water research.

Or is it a re-search, I wondered after encountering researchers who: » show how neuroscience tends to confirm medieval concepts situating memory, imagination and reason in water-filled cavities of the brain.

  • experiment with transferring, from water to us, the life-force energy chi, also called prana down through the ages, or
  • study specially-shaped water pipes used by the ancient Minoan culture in Crete, or
  • show how the emanations from healers’ hands change water, or
  • measure physical qualities of “holy water”, or effects of conscious intent upon water’s crystalline structure, or
  • build prototype inventions aimed at using water as a source of energyOr is it a re-search, I wondered after encountering researchers who: » show how neuroscience tends to confirm medieval concepts situating memory, imagination and reason in water-filled cavities of the brain.

Some study the big picture, such as the claim that rivers self-organize and energetically recharge themselves through spinning motions. And some point out the well-known anomalies - water is densest at 4 degrees Celsius, and strangely expands when it cools further, so that its solid state floats on top of its liquid state. Water as the “universal solvent” melds with nearly any element. Water’s main ingredient, hydrogen, is spread throughout galaxies, and ice is formed in dust clouds in outer space.

The Politics of Energy

It’s a high-concept story, to use the language of Hollywood: Inventor wants to save the world from ecocide - from choking on oil fumes, roasting under greenhouse gases or being poisoned by nuclear waste. However, oil merchants, nuclear power lobbies and fuel-tax-supported governments don’t want inventor to get the help needed to develop and mass market his Fuel-less Energy invention. At least not while they’re raking in the money and looking for untapped customers in the Third World.

Variations on this story are occurring in real life in various parts of the world. If the mass media were reporting it, the public would take notice. Ever since a Hebrew named David faced up to the Philistines’ champion killer, the public has relished the drama of Underdog vs. Giant. Today, for example, the media report every nuance of Microsoft-as-Goliath tactics, while smaller software companies prepare technological slingshots and the United States government takes a few shots using anti-monopoly laws.

The little-known battle waged by energy researchers and inventors has higher stakes than Bill Gates and his industry could ever create. At stake is the right of independent innovators to compete on a level playing field — in a multi-trillion-dollar game dominated by giant fossil-fuel companies. (Today the field is not level. Revolutionary new energy inventions are denied patents, and their researchers in most cases are denied funding while billions of dollars go to development of harmful energy technologies. Adding further insults, most “experts” deny approval for non-conventional energy research, thus discouraging investors who may have funded the independent innovator who has depleted his or her own resources. Then the media quote the old-paradigm experts and ignore or ridicule the anamolous discoveries. To survive these rebuffs, individual researchers need strength.)
