     23 Skidoo: Hydrobiometric Speculation.  S.H. Shakman

Note:

1. 23=hydration no. at 0=atomic no. in
(a) Flint's description [*1]; and
(b) Berecz/Achs Balla graph [*2].

2.(a) 23 & 17 water molecules per 4 & 3 guests in Structure I & II gas hydrates, resp. [*3];
(b) 17-23 glucose units in A.tumefaciens [*4]; &
(c) 23=area, 17=circumf. of grt. circle of sphere w/area=92.[(17x17)/(23x4)=approx.pi)].

3.(a) 24 nos. per Flint period:0-23,23-46,46-69,69-92 [*1,*5];
(b) "24-plet of fermions" in Russian lit.[*6];
(c) 24 in Einstein's work on planetary motion [*7]; and
(d) 24-25 4-dimensional equal spheres may touch a central one [*8].

4.(a) 6 is nearest whole-no. of water molecules per hydrate guest [see (2)(a) above];
(b) 6 equal circles around a central one resemble hexagonal structure of
(c) Flint's carotin [*9],
(d) observed photosynthetic membrane [*10],
(e) earthworm hemoglobin [*11], & (f) artificial cell [*12].
