Nature Minimizes Energy Consumption for the Movement of Water in the Capillary System of Plants and Blood in the Blood Vessels of Animals
It is obvious that nature has minimized energy consumption for the movement of water in plants and of blood in animals. However, mechanisms for the implementation of this principle have remained unknown until recently. Their scientific substantiation and solution of the problems connected with it became possible based on the recently discovered phenomenon of super-fluidity of water solutions. Plants and animals of the Earth have capillaries and vascular systems that facilitate the transport of fluids necessary for their vital activity. Various inorganic substances can be found in soil water and blood plasma; capillaries of plants and blood vessels of animals are electrically charged. Consequently, there are conditions necessary for the effect of super-fluidity to manifest in them. Super fluidity is equivalent to a decrease in viscosity of liquid media to values that are several times lower than ordinary ones.
