      "The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor" by Gerald Pollack is an excellent book with many recent experiments. He models the "fourth phase" as being a lattice of H3O2, which is has a negative charge, to possibly explain phenomenon ranging from blood flow, plant sap flow, cloud formation, surface tension, water vesticules (bubbles & droplets), swelling from injury, etc.

      I recently enjoyed reading Dr. Gerald Pollack's "The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor". I wonder...

      > And then there's homeopathy which is a largely unrelated and entirely nonsensical thing.

      And be careful with that dismissal! Not that I'm helping my case, here, but Pollack doesn't think it's baloney (see related chapter in his book "The Fourth Phase of Water").

      I was watching a TED talk on the fourth phase of water [0] by Gerald Pollack where he said that we don't know why clouds form the way they do. Given the popular theories, the vapour particles should distribute evenly across the sky. In part, the talk is about how little we actually know about water.

      Dr. Gerald Pollack has studied the "fourth phase" of water, which are sheets of H1O1. Water in this phase is electrically negative and forms the surface of bubbles/droplets, vesticules in cells, clouds, plasma in blood, & drives movement of water in plants. This book explains a number of phenomena with models backed by experiment.
