People, this is an absolutely STUNNING vindication for Gerald Pollack's research at the University of Washington on structured water. And the implications could not possibly be more profound, because this is the very mechanism which he is alleging is at play within the cell's cytoplasm. Structured water is basically ice, minus the protons. When freezing occurs, signs of an inward rush of protons can actually be observed.
Pollack has already validated that water filters (which operate with nothing more than ambient light) can be built using this mechanism, and he has even suggested that this mechanism is at play in blood vessels. The body harvests energy (resonant at 270 nm) in order to assist with the pumping of blood, and this explains why energy calculations based entirely upon food run into accounting problems -- and probably even explains why some strange people claim that they can survive without food. They are living off of light.
Re: "Further studies using different materials are needed to determine whether the high-density form of water observed on the crystal surface is specifically caused by its interaction with that material, or whether it is a general phenomenon, Nilsson said."
Yes, it requires a hydrophilic surface, but as far as the body is concerned, this is indeed a "general phenomenon" since proteins exhibit all of the ingredients necessary to structure the body's entire water supply.
Cell biology is in for a paradigm change here, but I suspect that this will be very rough going. As a human being who desperately wants to see our system for medical research to be improved, I want to plead with the cell biology theorists to please know when to step aside and encourage the work of a competing researcher. How you guys respond to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will have a huge impact upon where this goes. These new ideas are not "threats" to be extinguished. This is not team sports here.
This could be ice-breaking stuff. Wouldn't ice at a temperature above 6.5 degrees turn to water on contact with this material? If so, I guess one molecular layer at a time, which would freeze right up again when contact with the material is lost. Still, maybe portable drinking-water-from-ice extraction units. Think practical.
