INFLUENCE OF MUONS ON HYDROLYTIC PROCESSES ON EARTH. EXPLANA-TION OF THE 'WATER MEMORY' MYSTERY

Abstract Muons produced in the atmosphere by the solar wind perform an important function on the Earth in hydrolytic processes. They increase the hydrolytic activity of water clusters, breaking them down to form free hydroxyl groups. In the absence of muons, water clusters are structured to the maximum possible size and lose hydrolytic activity. This was experimentally proven after the absorption of muons by metals was discovered. For example, while in an aluminum screen, large mature water clusters do not react with triethyl phosphite, but after the screen is removed, the muons begin to split water clusters and the reaction begins immediately and accelerates quickly. The discovered rapid splitting of water clusters by muons explains the unstable manifestation of the ‘Water Memory’ phenomenon. Thus, the self-organization of water molecules, as well as the chemical and biological properties of water clusters, depend on the influence of muons and the intensity of solar radiation.
