Long-term dynamic structural memory in water: can it exist?

Abstract

There is no experimental evidence to support the hypothesis that water retains a memory of mechanical, mag- netic, and electromagnetic influences it has been exposed to and of substances it has dissolved. After its solutes have been fully removed by repeated dilutions, the water does not remember having contained them or the external physical influences exerted upon it. There is no arguable reason that water should have a molecular information matrix capable of serving as long- term memory. © 2014 Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk, Russian Academy of Sciences.
