Scientific Explanation
Spectral analysis showed "polywater" spectra matched human sweat. In experiments with thin glass tubes, it was merely contaminated water with researchers' sweat and skin oils.
⚠️ Modern Errors & Frauds
Polywater "The Elite Water"
重合水 ポリウォーターThe elite fraud who claims to be "evolved special water"
📖 Overview
A 20-something elite fraud. Brags "I'm special polymerized water, not ordinary water." Engulfed researchers worldwide, but turned out to be plain water contaminated with human sweat and impurities from lab equipment.

Reported by Soviet scientist Deryagin. Denied when precise analysis revealed contaminants (human sweat, etc.).

💡 Lesson
The importance of experimental "cleanliness." Contamination is science's greatest enemy. Also, Cold War politics delayed scientific verification.

Rivalries
Hydrogen is a constituent of water (H₂O). Polywater's true identity was "just water + contaminants."

💬 Event Dialogues
Entrance
Excuse me. I'm not ordinary water. I'm polymerized, high-viscosity special water. (smug)
Both the US and USSR invested in researching me. That's how important I was... supposedly.
Interactions
Polywater: "Hydrogen. I'm evolved water. A different class from your ordinary H₂O."
Hydrogen: "...May I see the spectrum?"
Polywater: "Of course. Behold my special spectrum."
Hydrogen: "This... perfectly matches the spectrum of human sweat."
Polywater: "...What?"
Hydrogen: "Lab equipment contamination. Your true identity is water mixed with sweat."
Exit
The desire to "believe something is special" made sweat-contaminated water look like a "new substance." Human wishes distort data.
Wash your equipment. Wear gloves. Never underestimate contamination. ...That's my last will.
