Abstract

Many living organisms on Earth are strongly dependent on water, the natural liquid of the planet. A possible reason for that could be the conjecture of Ryoji Takahashi [Phys. Lett. A 141, 15 (1989)] that water microdrops release negentropy through a phase transition to a phase with zero surface tension. Biological cells could make use of such a phase transition in their duty cycle. We comment on the relative merit of this conjecture, and present it in wider theoretical context.
