Amos Oz defined a fanatic as unable to comprehend what they themselves say, because they don't really mean it (but still say it!) That's the thing with calling people "pathological", it becomes

Charge-wise, the gel-phase water on either side of the membrane behave as a single negatively charged mass. The hydronium ions that are excluded from the gel (analogous to "ionized ice"), are

Gerald Pollack has shown that water at contact surfaces will organize into a "gel-phase", analogous to ice but without the hydrogen protons that bond the lattice sheets vertically (Pollack, 2013).

The Starling balance defines how fluid pressure pushes plasma out of the capillaries, until it is in an equilibrium with the oncotic pressure. I think one factor tends to be overlooked, differences in

Functional necessity is the mother of structural innovation. The origin of the interstitial venous system, or “lymphatic system”, is as a structure to compensate for the increase in hydrostatic pressure

I am of the opinion that the human face is a primary “memetic organ”, to our ideas, beliefs - memes - what our opposable thumbs are to manipulating objects in the physical world. The evolution of the human

The facial muscles are evolutionarily descended from the gill arches in ancestral aquatic vertebrates, and this is seen during the development of the human embryo where five gill arches, called branchial

After a gun shots to the head, is the bleeding as a symptom "spontaneously generated", or, is there any causality with the projectile bullet that travels at 3000 km/h interacting with the head?

In its resting state, the cell prefers to bind K+. When activated, conformational changes within the gelatinous protein-water matrix of the cell gain a higher affinity for Na+. Bound K+ is replaced with

Gilbert Ling (Wikipedia:Gilbert_Ling) who developed the electrodes that Andrew Huxley (Aldous Huxley's brother) later used in his experiments around nerve signals. Ling spent his life disproving dominant

Transportation of molecules and nutrients to the body by the vascular system includes extra-vascular plasma transportation. Perfusion of the tissues happens as blood is pumped from capillaries into the

is quite common. Spontaneous generation theory for infections is a good historical example. Another example is the "action potential", the voltage when certain processes are taking place inside

The cell is more negatively charged at −70 mV compared to the extracellular fluid because it has more structured water: water in the form of an hydroxide-rich “gel”, with a molecular structure analogous

There is a fifth phase of water, or sixth if plasma is included and Pollack's gel-phase. Marc LeClair discovered it. (video) He punctured gas ("cavitation") bubbles in water with laser, causing

An idea I had a few years ago that I still find interesting, is that water is a product of the biosphere, from archaic life using chemosynthesis, 12H2S + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 (sugar molecule) + 6H2O + 12S. Could

Acid-base reactions, osmosis and other colligative properties, the bicarbonate buffer system, can all be categorized under the broader topic of "water chemistry", the environmental constraints

Water in solid form is 1 atom thick crystals of 3xH2O + 3xOH-, with 3xH3O+ between the sheets, holding them together. Water in "gel-phase" is 1 atom thick crystals of 3xH2O + 3xOH-, without 3xH3O+

Huxley suggested the "sliding filament theory" in 1953 and later went on to suggest the "cross-bridge theory" in 1969. I observed while studying very basic things for med. school (that

Mental illness or "meme illness" is caused by loss of executive function, analogous to loss of organ function in any other organ such as the liver or the kidney. This loss of function results

If you look at the word "arch", it means, sort of, support structure. ἄρχω, "beginning", also "authority" (story from beginning to end). Bitcoin, often associated with the
