Scientists have calculated that the idea of special coherent water domains doesn't work because random molecular motion would break them apart instantly.
Scientific Claim
Theoretical calculations and experimental evidence suggest that quantum coherence domains in water, proposed as an explanation for EZ phenomena, are unlikely to exist due to Brownian motion causing wavefunction collapse.

Assessment Explanation
The study reports specific theoretical analysis by Bier and Pravica that concluded quantum coherence domains cannot exist in water. The language accurately reflects this theoretical conclusion.
Source Excerpt
“A detailed analysis of the 'quantum coherence domains' proposal was undertaken by Bier and Pravica, who concluded that Brownian motion forces wavefunctions to collapse and that such domains cannot exist in water. Likewise, they showed that hydration shells around ions are limited to a nanometer in diamter.”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting Evidence (1)
The study reports that Bier and Pravica's analysis concluded quantum coherence domains cannot exist in water due to Brownian motion causing wavefunction collapse, which directly challenges this proposed explanation for EZ phenomena.
