Dr. Gerald Pollack of the University of Washington presents an absolutely awesome lecture on the nature of water.
It may surprise you to know that modern science really does not have a good understanding of what water actually is and why it behaves the way it does. It turns out that water actually takes on the form of a liquid crystal when it is bounded by air or a positively charged layer of material.
The professor explains why this finding is so important and what it means for science.
Dr. Gerald Pollack, UW professor of bioengineering, has developed a theory of water that has been called revolutionary. The researcher has spent the past decade convincing worldwide audiences that water is not actually a liquid. Pollack explains his fascinating theory in this 32nd Annual Faculty Lecture.
