Gli studi di Giorgio Piccardi sui cosiddetti "fenomeni fluttuanti nel tempo" vengono
menzionati nel capitolo "La
strana storia dell'astrologia"
del libro "La scienza
in una società libera", di Paul
K. Feyerabend, in cui il noto epistemologo evidenziava
l'abissale ignoranza di un gruppo di ben "186
autorevoli scienziati", tra cui 18 premi Nobel.
Scrive Feyerabend: " Piccardi,
in una serie di ricerche estese su un periodo di più di
trent'anni, ha trovato variazioni nella frequenza di reazioni
chimiche standardizzate che non potevano essere spiegate né
dalla meteorologia né da condizioni di laboratorio. Egli
e altri ricercatori sono inclini a credere che "i fenomeni
osservati siano connessi primariamente a mutamenti nella struttura
dell'acqua usata negli esperimenti".76
Il legame chimico dell'acqua è molto debole (1/10 dell'intensità
media dei legami chimici) e l'acqua è perciò "sensibile
a influenze estremamente delicate ed è capace di adattarsi
alle circostanze più varie in un grado che non viene raggiunto
da nessun altro liquido". E' possibilissimo che le protuberanze
rientrino in queste "circostanze più varie",
e in tal modo questo fenomeno tornerebbe a dipendere dalle posizioni
dei pianeti. Se consideriamo quanto sia grande il ruolo dell'acqua
e dei colloidi organici nel processo vitale, non è irragionevole
la congettura che "forze esterne agiscano su organismi viventi
attraverso l'acqua e il sistema acqueo" ".

- The future prospects of creativity in science is now
open to a deep revisiting of strategic thinking about the relationships
between :
Thermodynamics and Life Sciences .
- An open debate on this thema, ill be organized in the congress
COHERENCE 2005 , organized by CBS ( Study Centre of Biomethereology
-Roma -It) , AFF ( Frontiers of Physic Association Milano -It
) , and ON-NS ( Open Network for New Science of Florence -It)
, the 14- OCT-05 c/o Engeneering Meeting Room - University ROMA3
- via della Vasca Navale ,109 -00100 -Roma (It)
- Science till today is normally focused on limited priorities
of mechanical bases of understanding of the old industrial society.
This reductive approach nowadays is no more able to understand
a coherent development based on the integration of trans-disciplinary
science. Prof. Giorgio Piccardi (1895-1972) ( see: http://www.cifa-icef.org/piccardi_ita.html)
was the Director of Institure of Chemical Physics research
works to understand the influence of the universal electromagnetic
field spectra on a open thermodynamics system . The research work
of G.Piccardi it is today very important to a new beginning of
researchers about the study of Life Sciences Evolution . As a
matter of facts Piccardi Study's initiate with the research of
the easy reproducible STORM GLASS, ( known as chemical barometer
) that is composed by the following chemical substances closed
into an hermetically sealed glass tubes it is contained supersaturated
mixture following chemicals.; 2.5 gr.Potassium Nitrate + 2.5 gr.
Ammonium Cloride + 33 ml of Distilled Water + 40 ml Ethanol, +
10 gr. camphor . The Idro- alcoholic STORM GLASS solution
it is closed in a test tube and tacked into a constant temperature
; so that is no influenced by the thermodynamic variables (i.e.
-: Temperature , Pressure and Concentration).
A similar test tube was utilized by the admiral Robert Fitzroy
, commander of BEAGLE the vessel participated to the world wide
of the famous Charles Darwin's expedition around the world. Fitzroy
believe that the alchemic mixture, containing camphor, ammonia,
alcohol, potassium nitrate, and water, was most suitable for weather
meteorology forecasting in respect of the Torricelli Barometer
used until 1643. So that in the Robert Fitzroy Weather Book of
Beagle Shipp (1843) , he described the various forms of the growth
of crystal shapes and patterns of Camphor that develos within
the storm glass according to different wind directions and weather
conditions . Therefore G.Piccardi, develop a chemical Physics
studies of Storm Glasses and other chemical precipitates , taking
in clever attention those out of equilibrium data for understanding,
way the camphor's crystal grows can give a forecast about meteorology
in a context of a study of out of equilibrium thermodynamics.
G. Piccardi obtains very good results by means the research made
in Florence, that permits to discover the influence to all chemical
reactions of of solar electromagnetic field in the context of
out of equilibrium dynamics of chemical and bio-chemical reactions.
Till now the research of G. Piccardi was mostly considerer by
academic science as well as a contribute very far from the traditional
scientific approach , so that only few scientists belonging to
the CIFA ( The International Committee of Research and Studies
on the factors of the Environmental Evolution) is till now considered
as an advanced science approach , that nowadays is becoming to
give a clear attention about the new beginning of scientific research
oriented to improve scientific multidisciplinary knowledge.
The " ON-NS group in Florence " starts for improving
new rooting growth of science innovation , by means a revisiting
of strategic thinking of science in the field of the impact of
the universal electromagnetic spectrum on the life science evolution.
Certainly the difficulties about the needs of a deep rethinking
of science starting form the ancient scientific observations seems
a very hard job, for the difficulty to put in understanding the
fundamental scientific queries of science to the attention of
specific disciplinary contemporary scientists. In any case the
scientific work of Giorgio Piccardi is based on a "Galileo
Galilei" method of direct observation of Nature and therefore
is based on easy reproducible chemical experiments (like : Storm
Grasses, Liesegang Rings, and Oscillating Reactions) , so that
the difficult of understanding it is only due to the difficulty
of brain - flexibility due to the of extreme specific division
of science growth realized during the Industrial society. Nowadays
we assist to a complex transformation of the post Industrial society
into the world -wide KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY ; therefore the new beginning
of creative research , based on an approach that will be able
to overcome the mechanical character of traditional science ,
can be very relevant for opening a new paradigm of future science
development of living system understanding in the context of the
future world-wide KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY.
