Prof. Marc Henry – Thermodynamics of Life (Part 5 of 6)

In Part 5 of Thermodynamics of Life, Prof. Marc Henry, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Strasbourg, continues his riveting dialogue with Dr. Klaus Schustereder, exploring how quantum physics, entropy, and water come together to form the scientific foundation for life, consciousness, and healing.

This episode dives deep into the mysteries of water, the fossil concepts that hold back scientific progress, and the quantum nature of coherence and resonance that unites physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. It’s a sweeping conversation that moves from the chemistry of hydrogen bonds to the nature of consciousness itself—showing that life is not made of matter, but of vibration, coherence, and information.

💡 Fossil Concepts and the Need for Renewal

Prof. Henry begins by identifying “fossil concepts”—outdated scientific ideas that prevent real understanding. Many of today’s textbooks, he explains, still rely on 19th-century simplifications such as “entropy equals disorder” or “energy can be consumed.” These ideas, repeated for generations, have become dogma.

To advance science, Henry argues, we must retire these fossilized notions, write new textbooks, and teach coherent physics grounded in entropy and quantum theory. “Science progresses,” he says, “only when we dare to clean house.”

He also warns of oversimplification in science education—the danger of turning complex subjects into easy analogies that harden into myths. When repeated often enough, wrong ideas take root in the mind and become “false truths.” Real progress requires scientists to unlearn before they can learn anew.

🌊 The Quantum Mystery of Water

From here, Henry turns to his lifelong passion: water. Though seemingly simple—two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen—water defies classical physics. It should be a gas, yet it’s liquid at room temperature. Its hydrogen bonds are stronger than theory predicts, and it expands when frozen—defying normal thermodynamic behavior.

Using quantum physics, Henry explains why: water is the most cohesive substance in the universe relative to its size and electron count. Its structure depends on gravitational confinement, meaning that the chemical bonds we observe on Earth exist because of the planet’s gravitational field. Take a drop of water into deep space, and the bonds dissolve—the water vaporizes.

This revelation transforms the way we understand chemistry: bonds are not intrinsic to atoms but depend on their environment—their “container.” On Earth, that container is gravity; in the universe, it’s the ether itself.

⚛️ Entropy, Containers, and the Scale of the Universe

Energy, Henry insists, cannot be defined without a container—while entropy exists everywhere. On the cosmic scale, entropy alone explains why everything tends toward the gaseous state: gases occupy the maximum number of possible configurations. Energy is local; entropy is universal.

He expands this idea to explain how liquids, solids, and life are “pockets of lower entropy,” possible only in small, confined systems like planets. In the vastness of the universe, everything is gas—the ultimate expression of entropy.

🧬 Coherence Domains and Water Memory

Henry introduces the revolutionary concept of coherence domains—regions in water about 100 nanometers across, containing roughly ten million water molecules vibrating in perfect quantum synchrony.

When coherent, they behave like a single quantum entity capable of storing and transmitting information. This is the physical foundation for what Henry calls morphogenic water memory—not pure water memory, but memory that arises when water interacts with another phase, such as a membrane, gas bubble, or lipid layer.

“If you take water by itself, it cannot remember. But as soon as you let it touch something not itself—life begins to remember.”

This insight links biology, physics, and information theory: cells store information not in molecules but in phase boundaries, where water meets something else.

🎵 Resonance, Amplification, and Healing

Coherent domains can resonate with electromagnetic fields, allowing information transfer through vibration rather than matter. Healing, Henry suggests, occurs through resonance and entropy flux—a temporary increase in entropy that unblocks stagnation, restoring natural flow and coherence.

He compares this to breaking a dam: by increasing the entropy flux, the system resets to a higher order. This principle explains how vibrational medicine, phototherapy, and even the laying on of hands may work—not through energy transfer, but through resonance with the body’s coherent water domains.

“Small is not nothing. If you have resonance, small can be big.”

This amplification through resonance, he explains, is the physical basis of homeopathy and information medicine, where tiny signals can produce large effects in nonlinear systems like living cells.

🎶 Music, Consciousness, and the Physics of Life

Everything vibrates, resonates, and harmonizes. Matter itself is a temporary standing wave—created and destroyed constantly within the ether, yet maintained through coherence.

He extends this view to psychology and healing: traumatic memories, he says, are “frozen information fields” that can be changed by interacting consciously with their coherence. Healing, whether physical or emotional, occurs when new coherence replaces the old.
