Did you know that the water inside you has previously been inside dinosaurs, bacteria, the oceans. Science journalist Alok Jha explains why water is so incredibly weird.

water is a medium, information carrier, too.
H2O or D2O?
God tells us;
Chapter 21 The Prophets V30 The Quran…
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
So wrong in so many fundamental ways. The water molecules in you have not existed as water molecules for billions of years. The most obvious reason why is because water molecules are split all the time in photosynthesis, into oxygen (which we breath) and hydrogen (initially hydrogen ions and electrons) that end up combining with carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates. In cell metabolism, water repeatedly breaks into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. Even in a glass of pure water the water molecules are constantly splitting into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, then constantly recombining, but not the same ions so not forming the same molecules. Also water does not break the laws of chemistry, its unusual properties discussed here are fully explained by the forces of attraction between water molecules called hydrogen bonds which due to the unequal sharing of electrons in the 'polar covalent' nature of the bonds. Any high school chemistry student could correct all this. Water is indeed very interesting and in some ways unusual in ways vital to support life, but not as portrayed here. I am a university chemistry lecturer and this video is sadly full of nonsense.
What a great animation you shown , a nice video which I found randomly.
Not all water has been the same molecyle for billions of years. Some has but far from all. Some water is formed when we burn carbohydrates in our muscles for example. Educational video in many ways but also deeply inaccurate in some of its facts.
Creations of our creater are precious, unbelievable, amazing.subhanallah☝️
Total nonsense.
Good news. BBC reached out to the person who wrote the script, Alok Jha who says that when he says all water he means most water.
I wouldn't call it weird. I would call it miraculous.
