Self-organization of water molecules over 11-year solar cycle

Abstract

The variations of solar activity and distribution of solar energy due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis and around the Sun exert a strong influence on the self-organization of water molecules. As a result, the rate of hydrolytic processes with the participation of water clusters displays diurnal, very large annual variations, and is also modulated by the 11-year cycles of solar activity. It also depends on the geographic latitude and can be different at the same time in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This phenomenon is important for all forms of life on the Earth. It may be well accounted for by the influence of muons which are constantly generated in the upper atmosphere by the solar wind. Muons reach the surface of the Earth and can penetrate to some depth underground. Buildings also absorb muons. For this reason, the rates of hydrolysis outside and inside buildings, as well as underground, can differ significantly from each other.
