motors is now widely recognized [228, 229]. Thus, it appears that the

conformon theory of molecular machines formulated between 1972 and

1985 provides reasonably persuasive answers to the questions raised by

von Neumann in [271].

4.11 Water as the Medium of the Cell (Cellese) and Cosmic

Languages (Cosmese)

I attended the 11th Water Congress held in Sophia, Bulgaria, between

October 5 and 10, 2016, which was attended by about 200 participants

from all over the world representing diverse fields of specialization,

including physics, chemistry, biology, acoustic engineering, photomicrog-

raphy, environmental activists, artists, and religious practitioners.

The most important lesson I learned from my participation in the

Congress where I presented a poster entitled “Water is to Cell Language

What Air is to Human Language: A Hypothesis” [494] is that water is

essential for cell communication and hence may obey the McLuhan

Equation well known in media studies [495]. This hypothesis seems con-

sistent with the more general hypothesis that cell and human languages

are isomorphic [19, 21–23], thus justifying the application of the

McLuhan equation, Statements (4.28) and (4.29), to cell language,

leading to Statement (4.30):

The medium is the message. (4.28)

The Medium = the Message. (4.29)

Water is both the medium and the message. (4.30)

Bernd Kroeplin from Stuttgart presented an informative lecture [496]

at the Congress, showing the photomicrographs of “dried” water droplets

having “ordered” images (not chaotic) which seem to reflect the history of

the water droplets such as the kind of objects, e.g., different kinds of flow-

ers or sounds, to which they were exposed before water was removed from

them by evaporation [496]. If we can refer to these images or visual pat-

terns as the “Kroeplin patterns”, for convenience, we can state, based on

the McLuhan equation, that they may be viewed as the evidence that water
