Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 30th April 2007

Beyond the Central Dogma of Physics
The universe is one manifesting itself in multiplicities that behave according to certain mathematical rules; but this leads to paradox as soon as we think of the underlying reality as if the multiplicities were real

Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 15th February 2005

What's the Bacterium Really Like?
Far from being a bag of macromolecules dispersed at random inside a rather tough cell wall, the bacterium is highly and spontaneously organised into nested functional compartments through interactions between the macromolecules and cell water
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 16th October 2004

What's the Cell Really Like?
It takes life-long commitment, profound knowledge and artistry to show the world what the cell is really like.
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 15th October 2004

The Importance of Cell Water
Prof. Martin Chaplin presents a new theory on the structure of water in the cell that switches between low-density and high-density clusters
Martin Chaplin 13th October 2004

Water Forms Massive Exclusion Zones
Water, the most abundant constituent of living organisms, is associated with an enormous amount of surfaces inside cells and in the extracellular matrix. Is all of this biological water different from water in bulk? The answer is definitely yes, if the incredible new findings are to be taken on board.
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 30th June 2004
