The creative function of water in the formation of the world around us by S. L. Shvartsev

“…The article is focused on the evolution mechanism of the ‘inert’ and living world around us, which is determined by the creative function of water. Water and igneous rocks of basic and ultrabasic compositions create an abiogenic dissipative system that never reaches an equilibrium and therefore is capable of maintaining its continuous, strictly directed, geologically long-term development and the formation of numerous new minerals that are paragenetically associated with specific geochemical types of water. …”
