The Nature of Holy Water

Petar Ivanov is a nuclear physicist. His dissertation was on the subject of "Modulation of gamma quanta". He worked at the Mössbauer Research Laboratory and Beta Spectroscopy until he and his wife Lyubitsa decided to move away from the capital Sofia and took up jobs at the Bulgarian Soviet company "Rare Metals", which deals with geotechnological mining of uranium. The enterprise activities are strictly confidential. She is assigned as a field geologist, and he is engaged in innovative research. In 1990, uranium mining was closed and they started work at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, Bulgaria. Petar is Supervising Physicist in charge of 1-4 Block, and Lyubitsa is radiation safety specialist. They retired in 2005 and currently live in the countryside.

I was invited just before the expedition to the Dyatlov Pass at the presentation of Petar Ivanov's latest book "The Nature of Holy Water". In this book the emphasis is on the innovative method the author is using to produce and capture the crystals. In 2022, he equipped a small laboratory in home conditions, in which he studied the growth of crystals from saturated water vapor on various water samples injected into a chamber in which a constant temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius was maintained. The resulting crystals are observed and photographed with a microscope equipped with a digital camera. He published the results of his experiments in his book "The Nature of Holy Water" published in a small edition in 2023. I brought to the author a vial with water from the sacred river Gang that I had from my trip to India in 2017. The gift was greatly appreciated, the interest in my research was reciprocated. In the presentation Petar Ivanov showed how the structure of water is influenced by exposure to sounds and visuals. He asked me If I wanted my crystal done and he received more than he bargained for, 10 photos if you count mine. Guess who the other 9 are. I also brought with myself a metal flask, as instructed by Petar Ivanov since it forms a Faraday cage to limit the exposure of the water during my trip back. Yesterday I received the crystal of the water I brought back with me from the expedition.

Petar Ivanov is now collecting data that will be published in his next volume, and the Dyatlov group is already part of his research.
