water is such that it can acquire optimum information. But as the temperature is raised, it starts losing information. Distillation of water brings about total destruction of its net like structure and erasure of stored information. The highly diluted solutions at normal temperatures, as in homeopathy, have greater uniformity in its structure. ii). Conductivity: Water is a poor conductor of heat compared to most other materials. This poor conductivity protects the main portion of the water bodies from being frozen or over heated by the sun and from killing its living organisms. iii). Capillary Force: Water has the ability to pass through cell membranes and climb great heights in plants and trees through Osmosis and Capillary force. The mystery of osmosis enables plants to take and absorb appropriate minerals through roots and push them up by capillary force. Similarly, osmosis helps marine creatures absorb fresh water in an essentially saltwater environment. iv). Dipole moment of water ( 1.87 x 101e.s.u) The angle between two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule is 105'. If this were different, there would have been no complex life-giving molecules and no life on earth. v). Dielectric constant Water has extremely high dielectric constant of 81 as compared to 25 of ethyl alcohol. This peculiarity of high dielectric constant makes water almost a universal solvent. This high solubility permits water to transport minerals and waste products to the necessary parts of the bodies of all living-beings. vi). Human Brain; The brain is nearly 85% water. The brain is floating in a pool of water. And this position of brain is precisely responsible for the thinking capacity of the brain. 7) Air in Water Water is a dipolar molecule. It can absorb air when exposed to it. The
