Description of the condensed phases of water in terms of Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

I show that the reason why many properties of water are notoriously at odds with current models is the low dissociation energy of the H-bond, which leads to the instability of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Bose-Einstein condensation at the gas-liquid transition stabilizes the H-bond and opens the door to a reasoning from the laws of quantum mechanics to classical physics, explaining the properties of the condensed phases with only four observables and no arbitrary hypotheses. The isomorphic structures are composed of honeycomb sheets. Heat transfer reveals the eigenstates that determine the temperatures of the phase transitions. Quantum entanglement and degeneracy explain the heat capacities and latent heats. The supercooled liquid is a superposition of the high and low density eigenstates. Bose-Einstein condensation also explains the honeycomb pattern of an aerosol of droplets.
