In olden times philosophers regarded water as an element and as typical of all liquid substances. Some believe that the four attributes of the manifestation of matter were water, earth, air, and fire. We now know that water is not an element, that earth is a mixture of numerous elements, air a mixture of gases, and fire a combustion that various forms of matter. The British chemist Henry Cavendish in 1781 synthesized water by detonating a mixture of hydrogen and air. Two years later the French chemist Lavoisier proved that water was not an element but a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. Thereafter, in 1804 in a scientific paper, the French chemist Gasy-Lussac and the German naturalist von Humboldt demonstrated that water consisted of two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen.

Nearly all of the hydrogen in water has the atomic weight of 1. The American chemist Arold Clayton Urey discovered in 1932 in water the presence of a small amount (one part in 6000) of so-called heavy water, or deuterium oxide. Deuterium is an hydrogen isotope with an atmic weight of 2. Thereafter,in 1951 the American chemist Aristid Grosse discovered that naturally occurring water also contains minute traces of tritium, a hydrogen isotope with the atomic weight of 3.

Since both hydrogen and oxygen are diatomic molecules, and water consists of two volumes of hydrogen to one volume of oxygen, water might be two molecules of hydrogen to one molecule of oxygen, or four hydrogen atoms to two of oxygen, or two atoms of hydrogen to one atom of oxygen. However, the exact atomic composition of water as a compound is apparently unknown. The Enfolding Universe, however, anticpates that the hydrogen atoms iinclude one outonic and one intonic hydrogen atom and one intonic oxygen atom.

The enfolding of force and form must be distinguished from the atoms and molecules constituting matter. Compounds are necessarily a product of how particular manifestations of matter relate to one another. These particular manifestations then may participate in the enfolding of force and form. Atoms are not form and form by itself does not necessarily gives rise to atoms and molecules. Although water is a form, it is not an atom or a molecule but as an expression of matter it is a compound of atoms and molecules. The enfolding of force and form may be accompanied by matter participating in the enfolding. Form is independent ot time, space and motion; but matter is not and can be expressed only in time, space, and motion.

The constructs of matter are generalLy arrived at by inductive reasoning, and the analysis of form are generally arrived at by deductive reasoning. Both types of reasoning are essential for the understanding of manifestation under the Enfolding Universe. Inductive constructs have great utility in understanding and explaining the bases of the expression of the Enfolding Universe, but deductive analysis of the enfolding of force and form likewise have great utility in understanding and explaining the Enfolding Universe. In induction we go from the particular to the whole and in induction from the whole to the particular. .

Water constitutes the greater part of protoplasm of which plant and animal bodies are composed. Sap of plants and blood of animals are mostly water. The manufacture of starch by plants require water. Many foods, such as fruit and milk, have a high water content. For life to become manifested clearly requires water. The solvent power of water, its capacity to bind with other compounds, and its incorporation as an essential part of plant and animal life makes water a required basis for life. As a compound, it combines centripetal and centrufugal forces with the least amount of repulsion and the greatest amount of attraction with these forces in other compounds. As a combination of force and form, it is essential part of the expression of life and as a compound of hydrogen and oxygen it has the ability of contributing to the matter needed for the enfolding universe to further the emergence of life.

Ordinary hydrogen and ordinary oxygen are diatomic molecules. As discussed above, it is the union of outonic and intonic hydrogen atoms that gives rise to the diatomic hydrogen molecule. It is likewise the union of outonic and intonic oxygen atoms that gives rise to the diatomic molecule of oxygen. Many chemist do not realize the the atoms in diatomic molecutes could not be attracted to one another unless one of the attracted pair is outonic and the other is intonic. For this reason, scientific experiments are somewhat unclear on how outonic and intonic atoms relate to each other to form the compound water.

Chemically water is stated to be a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, with its molecule consisting of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The two atoms of hydrogen could be any of the following combinations: (1) Two outonic atoms of hydrogen, (2) Two intonic atoms of hydrogen, and (3) One intonic and one outonic atom of hydrogen. The one atom of oxygen could be either an outonic or intonic atom of oxygen.

Experiments could be conducted to determine the atomic composition of water. Scientists could study compounds with only one atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. By causing the disassociation of the component parts of their molecular binding, the resulting atoms of hydrogen or oxygen would then be exposed to other controlled atoms of hydrogen or oxygen to determine attraction or repulsion among them, thereby determining whether the atoms are outonic or intonic atoms.

Based upon a thorough analysis of the complex centripetal and centrifugal forces in water and their attraction or repulsion one for other, the Enfolding Universe would anticipate that the two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule include one outonic atom and one intonic atom. The repulsion occuring in a compund of two outonic or two intonic atoms would probably be such as to negate their existence together in a compound of only three atoms. The single oxygen atom is probably an intonic oxygen atom for the reason that an analysis of the characteristics of water shows a preponderance of centripetal forces over centrifugal forces.

Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, which are elements that serve as component parts of many compounds. The centripetal and centrifugal forces in water are congenial to these forces in a very large number of compunds. For this reason, water occupies a special place among liquids in its ability to dissovle gases, liquids, and solids. Although in specific cases there are liquids that exceed water in its solvent power, no other liquid has such a wide range and over-all intensity of solvent power. Water`s superiority as a solvent power would be anticipated by the synchronous folds giving rise to water as a phenomenon. Water is comprosed of only three atoms, none of the atoms are also molecules, and these atoms are component parts only of two molecules. A compound of this nature would have a minimum repulsion to other compounds combined with maximum attraction to other compounds. Thus, a compound such as water, would have superior solvent power.

The centripetal nature of water was established by Viktor Schauberger. He made an exhaustive study of the nature of water and of the most effective ways of harnassing its energy. Schauberger concluded that water preferred to move towards the center of a stream and not outward towards the periphery of a stream. For this reason, he designed water channels to move lumber logs great distances by an effective utilization of water`s preference for inward movement over outward movement. As a result of Schauberger`s discoveries on the nature of water, logs were moved much cheaper, quicker and more efficiently than under the systems usually used. Even today, logs are not moved in the United States pursuant to priciples applicable to water discovered by Schauberger.

Unlike other liquids, water expands during freezing. This expansion of the volumn of water during freezing would be anticipated by the Enfolding Universe. The expansion results from the centrifugal movement of the outonic atom of Hydrogen, one of the three atoms of water. In liquids of more complex structure, it would be most unlikely centrifugal movement that is a part of a molecular unit would result in expansion of the molecule during freezing

With water that has two hydrogen atoms but only one oxygen atom, the strong movement outward of the outonic hydrogen atom would cause expansion to take place during freezing.

Like many other liquids, water may remain a liquid although its tempersture is below its freezing point. This supercooled state of water would be anticipated by the Enfolding Universe. It is the centrifugal movement of the outonic hydrogen atom, which is a part of the composition of water as a molecule, that leads to water as a liquid becoming a solid. When water is cooled, without disturbance to its other component atoms, it necessarily has a significantly lower freezing point than when the balance among the various centripetal and centrifugal components of water is disturbed or interferred with. When the balance and the equilibrium among the components of water remain, the centrifugal force of water`s outonic hydrogen atom is not effective to solidify water until a much lower temperature is reached or its balance is interferred with by disturbance or by adding particles to the water.
