Is water the antenna for DNA?

Well an antenna is mostly referring to electromagnetic wave reception...and DNA communicates via chemical substances, now fluid may be the medium through which these chemicals travel and certainly have H2O content, but saying that the water is acting as an antenna is a bit of a stretch I think....

Maybe the interconnection between water, DNA and lymph it is more strong.

Amorphous cristals are the life origin.

"Amorphous cristals are the life origin" That is totally far fetched. I mean, this is a science and engineering forum, so you should have some factual basis for the beliefs you express....

Nobody is making life out of crystals or mixtures of water, lymph and DNA. Nobody is making life, period. Science has not discovered the origin of life, nor is there a recipe for turning non living "stuff" into "living stuff". That includes mixtures of DNA etc. Not gonna happen. Not with electromagnetic zappers either.

All of the so called "created" life forms you read about in the news have used a living cell as a host for some tweaked up DNA. They don't bring dead stuff to life. Ever.

Water is the 'fact' That I posted about. It is simple and understandable, unlike the very, very complex DNA. The universe/time goes from zero to complex to zero, and along the way leaves bread crumbs (vibrations) of conscience forever after. Being a plumber since 1974, living above 8,000 feet, I'd say that "I get high on water". Science and engineering forums require curiosity to be relivant.

I see you're having a mystic moment, that's okay by me - I did not mean to offend. Water is certainly fine stuff. And we do require curiosity to be relevant. In the context of a science and engineering forum, we can certainly talk about the unknown - but the way to do that, for us, is to discuss first of all what is known. And this points the way to the unknown (or even the unknowable), by first ruling out what doesn't make sense in the context of existing knowledge, and then making a rationale for the possibilities which clearly remain. So we ask questions, discuss, and then build a hypothesis around the known facts, and exclude what we know to be false. If I tell you something is far fetched or not true, it is on that basis, nothing personal. If I'm wrong, someone else may correct me. At the end of the discussion, we all learned something, even if the final answer is still unknown.

Maybe some of our resident physics experts will have more to say about it.

I do come from a place of facts. What is known, and has been known since ancient times, is that knowing about resonance and frequency is a basis for knowing about mass. You may exclude falsehoods in your life, and look for the final answer, but you cannot exclude science. One frequency makes water, one breaks glass, another kills cancer, one makes food , and on and on. There are untold frequencies from our sun, most of which we don't know, but we are learning. Once water was introduced into earth, then sunlight made its quantum leap.

You will need to elaborate more on your question as there isn't enough information here to give an answer.

Which came first, water or DNA.? Maybe water ampliflies, and sorts out electro magnetic frequencies.

Water came first. Whether it does or doesn't amplify or affect electromagnetic frequencies, this has no relevance to DNA in a normal context. Although you didn't provide a context for your question - are you talking about DNA in a test tube? In a cell? What kind of cell, bacterial or other? What is going on with the DNA in your question?

In general, DNA is made of amino acids - it's a proteinaceous structure. In order for it to do stuff, various enzymes, chaperones and other complex molecules tailor-made to their task are involved. There is no point in the 'day in the life' of DNA when someone rushes in with a fire hose to provide the WATER for something to happen. Yes there is fluid around in the cell, it is a water-based matrix with some special characteristics which keeps all the actors plump and happy, but is not an actor per se in the DNA drama. It does not activate the DNA. Hope that helps.

Maybe the DNA could be made into an antenna....?

To harvest uv light...?

I like that, DNA was made. The brain is 85% water (came first) feeding the DNA in the 15%, and then the DNA feeds back. Very symbiotic.

..."All known life needs liquid water to function properly. It’s essential in part because water is such a good solvent, readily dissolving and transporting nutrients across a wide range of temperatures. Its molecules also play a key role in ensuring proteins behave properly."..

..."Water is an essential feature of homeostasis in an organism. Water increases the volume of blood, which affects blood pressure and heart rate. Water dissolves gases and allow for efficient exchange and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Water can be excreted, so it carries toxins that have been made water-soluble out of the body. Water removes heat from the body when a person sweats, which helps the person regulate body temperature."..

Yes....water is the key, that contains all the memory and necessary components for life. It really does unlock everything. The fact that whales can talk to each other while oceans apart interested me. We have trouble talking to each other face to face. Maybe liquid water is "the conscience of the universe", and was created first for that reason, and why I chose H2O vs. DNA as opposed to DNA vs. H2O.

DNA makes up about 3% of the cell by dry weight. We are not just made of water and DNA.

Never rely on your DNA and water to act as a transmitting antenna, not only can it create a high VSWR but it really hurts when someone presses the transmit button while you are tuning an antenna by trimming to length.

I still don't know what you are on about, can you provide a detailed explanation of what you are on about and your evidence or reasonings on the subject.
