Alternative title: If even film magazine editors are doing a fact check, the Schwurbel has obviously made it a long way!

“Water therefore does not have a complex long-term memory, but rather a memory span that is even shorter than that of a nervous ferret.” This is the conclusion from an article by Filmstarts.de .

Not a fake: Not Correctiv, not the dpa, Snopes or Mimikama have published a fact check about water and memory, but an online magazine about the medium of film.

This fact check was thematically framed by the film “Frozen 2”, basically the fact check refers to the situation in the film in which Elsa finds out from Olaf that water has a memory. Filmstarts has now fact-checked this aspect of the film, as the so-called “memory of water” is often spoken of in homeopathy.

Memory of water?

You shouldn't imagine it like in the film, homeopathy is not about real memories, but about the fact that water can supposedly "remember" the substances it contains after it has been diluted and therefore has a certain effectiveness.

Like our colleagues at Filmstarts.de, we also carried out a fact check several months ago and came to exactly the same conclusion:

There is a small problem with water: it has no real memory and no genes that suggest “genetic memory”.
Water molecules connect to each other via hydrogen bonds for one picosecond (that's ¹ / ₁ ₀₀₀ ₀₀₀ ₀₀₀ ₀₀₀ of a second) before breaking apart again.

Yes, our fact check also confirms the imagery of the “nervous ferret”. Therefore, we will conclude at this point with the same words that Filmstarts.de uses regarding water and memory, but refer to our fact check “Does water have a memory?” ( HERE ), in which we break down the entire thesis in detail again.

But before we get deeper into this and get even more confused, let's stop at this point. Because it has absolutely nothing to do with the water memory seen in the film. In “Frozen 2,” the water capable of creating memories is definitely enriched with an undiluted portion of magic.
