The World in a Drop

En savoir plus sur le livre

This book serves as a definitive guide to the element of water, exploring its mysteries through a richly illustrated journey. It is an ideal gift for enthusiasts, featuring insightful texts that reveal phenomena like memory, communication, and pattern formation in nature from a fresh perspective. The initial chapters highlight water's unique role in our environment, examining its physical structure and patterns in liquid, frozen, and crystalline states, while proposing a definition of water memory. The text summarizes the impact of waves and turbulence on water droplet formation, particularly when exposed to music and varying audio frequencies. Accompanied by striking photographs from artist Alexander Lauterwasser, the book presents scientific theses alongside historical context, including a correlation between Chladni nodal patterns in water and geometric evolution in nature. The chapter “Nature's Visual Language” showcases drying water drops with extracts from sources like Thuja and Aloe, viewed microscopically by artist Ruth Kübler, prompting speculation on the characteristics of various liquids. While scientific analysis is nascent, it is underway. The “Discovery – Mirrored in Water” chapter establishes a method for distinguishing water characteristics from different sources, supported by an experimental database, and illustrates the effects of external influences like electromagnetic radiation.
