Title : Influence of the sun on the day and night sides of the earth. Explanation of the ‘Storm glass’ and ‘Water memory’ phenomena
Abstract:
Even 0.02% water in acetonitrile can form clusters, the size and chemical reactivity of which can change under the influence of the Sun in a very wide range. Bulk water added to such acetonitrile can copy and reproduce these original clusters and acquire different hydrolytic activities depending on the size of the copied clusters. As a result, the rate of hydrolytic reactions with the added water can vary greatly depending on where the acetonitrile was located before the reaction - outdoors, inside buildings or underground.
The influence of the Sun is accounted for by the decomposition of water clusters by muons, which are generated in the upper atmosphere by the solar wind. Due to the anisotropy of the muon flux the rate of hydrolysis depends on the geometry of the reaction solution, its position in space and constantly changes during the day depending on the position of the Sun in the sky.
For example, at noon, when the Sun is at its zenith, the rates of this reaction in three 5-mm NMR-tubes directed North-South, East-West and Vertically are considerably higher in the horizontal tubes, and at sunrise and sunset when the Sun shines along the East-West line the rate is higher in the vertical tube.
It was logical to assume that at night when the Sun irradiates the opposite side of the Earth, it cannot have the same influence as during the day, and the rates of this reaction in multidirectional NMR-tubes should become equal. However, experiments carried out at midnight did not confirm this. At night the rate of hydrolysis decreases substantially, but the distribution of rates remains the same as at noon - in the vertical tube the rate is significantly less than in the horizontal tubes. The same distribution of triethyl phosphite hydrolysis rates in multidirectional tubes day and night allows us to conclude that on the night side of the Earth the influence of the Sun is inducing the appearance of some radiation vertically from underground. The mechanism of the solar influence at night requires a detailed comprehensive study. Measuring the rate of hydrolysis of triethyl phosphite in acetonitrile in multidirectional 5-mm NMR-tubes at different locations on Earth at different latitudes may help to explain this fundamental phenomenon, which is important for biological, chemical, physical and environmental research.
The discovered influence of the Sun on structuring of water clusters explains the ‘Storm Glass’ mystery and experimental instability of the ‘Water Memory’ phenomenon.
