The Elephant in the Water is an eye-opening hypothesis about the role of water: could water be a quantum computer?
Water is everywhere on earth. Water is required by all known life. But could water be more than just a liquid? Could water also be an actor that is actively engaging in creating and guiding biochemical processes in living cells?
How can science help explain this new hypothesis about water?
Two concepts are absolutely critical to understand the idea of water as an actor. We need to look at quantum computing and material sciences. Let’s dive in.
01 Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is used to solve problems that are too complex for the classic computers we all own. To work, quantum computers must be electronically shielded and cooled down till absolute zero temperatures (-273°C).
02 Material sciences: Graphene
Graphene is made of carbon atoms grouped in hexagon structures. These structures enable single electrons to interact. Could we use graphene to build the next-gen quantum computers that work at room temperature?
But science can’t stand alone.
In quantum biology, we use quantum theory to explain phenomena that can’t be described by the classical laws of physics. Photosynthesis is one example. Here, we observe how molecules involved in the process exert the same behaviour as quantum computing.
What’s really fascinating is that what everyone previously thought only to work at very low temperatures can now be observed at room temperature. Undoubtedly, that leads us to the main question guiding this hypothesis: could water be a quantum computer?
Yes, water could be a quantum computer
Water (aqua) organizes itself into new hexagon structures when influenced by IR light. We call this structure Aquanta.
With its graphene-like structure, the idea is that water molecules receive, process, and transmit information based on the exact same principles that are at work when we talk about quantum computing.
