The interplay of water dynamics and electromagnetic fields at the root of the homeostasis in living organisms

Biological dynamics has been so far investigated in a frame where each event depends on ordered space-time sequences of molecular encounters.
However the problem arises on the nature of the mechanism allowing molecules to meet in a selective way at the right time in the right place. It is shown that molecular encounters are governed by electromagnetic fields having a well defined frequencies able to attract molecules oscillating on the same frequency. The output energy of the ensuing chemical reaction changes the frequency of the electromagnetic field which consequently attracts new and different molecular species, giving rise to a time-dependent scheme of biochemical interactions. It is also shown that the above electromagnetic fields are produced by the collective dynamics of water molecules which give rise to coherent aggregates on whose surface biochemical activity occurs.
