WATER

Some substances become mythical. They transcend their physical and chemical materiality and manifest themselves in our minds as symbols, as qualities. In the collective unconscious of a culture, their material constitution becomes secondary to their symbolic value. Gold, to the alchemists, was more than a metal - it was perfection, the goal of a spiritual quest. It is not enough to describe fire as a luminescing gas, and there is something vital and irrevocable about blood that makes it no mere colloidal suspension. In general, a scientific account of mythical substances is bound to disappoint.
With water, the need not be so. Even when we remove its symbolic trappings, its association with purity, with the soul, with the maternal and with life and youth, when we reduce it to a laboratory chemical or a geological phenomenon, water continues to fascinate. At first glance a simple molecule, water still offers up profound challenges to science.
