[Music] to what extent is water capable of
picking up information what does it perceive and how does it remember it
over time the aerospace institute in stuttgart has discovered a relatively
simple way of making the structure of a drop of water visible the researchers have had their efforts rewarded by
insights into a very beautiful world each drop has a face of its own
unmistakable and unique why are the individual drops so different from one
another we got a lot of people to come to a lecture hall here at the Institute
give them all the same water had to make drops at exactly the same time haven't
elected all the drops and then discovered that each individual leaders
different images from the same water you can see the results yes there on the
right you can see that the images of the individual students were different does
me by giving scroll quite similar this is the worker the first experimenter
this one here the second the third the fourth individually they can quite easily be reproduced but you would never
have thought this you're also on the same water because when you compare the images from the different people you see
some big differences then we undertook experiments to find out what the things
changed when we put something into the water the real flowers was placed in the water
while later we took a drop of water and here you can see one of the pictures and
you can see it in this picture it's the typical image you get when you put a
flower into water you could recognize the flower and every single drop in this
glass of course that can be reproduced and has significant if you were to put a
different flower in here for example the Sweet William flower and then all the
drops of this water would look like sweet
and that the statement that water has a memory practically changes our whole way
of looking at the world of course let's travel down the Rhine in the figurative
sense so much water is flowing down the Rhine sticking up information everywhere
it goes so the water has more information at the mouth of the Rhine
that it had at the source and the Dutch living at the mouth when they drink that
water they're also drinking all that information
thus the world's oceans would no longer be something that separates us but
instead a giant storehouse of information that the rain will perhaps
be a data medium sharing information to the world
