with which we are familiar would be impossible. The develop-
ment of higher organisms, which is critically dependent on the
ability of cells to move and crawl around during embryogenesis,
would certainly be impossible if the viscosity of water was even
slightly greater than it is. 48
Water’s high viscosity rate is vital for us humans, because
were it a little less, the capillary network could not transport our
blood. The complex network of blood vessels in the kidney, for
instance, could never have originated.
Water’s viscosity rate is vital not only to processes within
cell structures, but also for metabolism as a whole.

All living beings larger than 0.25 of a millimeter have cen-
tralized body systems, because in any larger creature, nutrition
and oxygen cannot be carried to cells by means of diffusion—
that is, they cannot be absorbed directly by the fluids within
cells.. Oxygen and nutrition from outside must be pumped by
certain “channels” to the countless cells within the body, and
waste material removed again. Veins and arteries are these chan-

nels, and the heart is the pump that creates the flow within them.
The blood circulating around the body, as we know, is composed
mostly of water. (When the cells, proteins, and hormones are re-
moved from the blood, plasma remains—which is 95% water.)
This is why water’s viscosity is so important to the circula-
tory system’s effectiveness. Were its viscosity rate like tar’s, ob-
viously no heart could pump it. Not even a substance like olive
oil, with a viscosity rate 100 million times higher than tar, could
pass through the body’s capillary network, even if the heart

could pump it.
Let us inspect this subject more closely. The capillary net-
