Abstract
Today, the critical mass of knowledge about water and the prospects for its transformation because of human activity have become so significant that they undoubtedly require new generalizations and comprehension. Analysis of water problems leads to the idea that the substance of water is programmed for life, its development, correction, and protection. The realization of this potential of water is provided by the energy and information capacity of its molecules and intermolecular compounds. Water is a special substance that is extremely necessary for a living world. Each of the “anomalies”, oddities of water in the “water–life” link easily fits into a certain program of creation, preservation, maintenance, and evolution of life. Life in the forms we know could not have appeared outside of water in its liquid state, outside of water “anomalies”. Consequently, the water shell on our planet should proceed the emergence of life (A. Henderson arguably defended this idea at the beginning of the last century). Only then, having passed a period of water development, life came out onto land, nevertheless preserving its water nature. With a somewhat reduced, “chemical” look, living matter looks like an “aqueous solution, since every living organism is, to one degree or another, really an aqueous solution, and almost all chemical processes that provide vital activity are reduced to chemical reactions in an aqueous solution.” Water is the most abundant substance in nature that a person encounters daily throughout his life. However, this is a rather complex object for understanding. If scientists manage to reveal at least a little the true secret of water, new pages will open in chemistry, biology, and this, in turn, will open new unexplored compounds, new materials and, perhaps, unexpected forms of life, where all macromolecules of DNA and proteins contain a certain the proportion of heavy hydrogen and heavy oxygen molecules and organelles.
