Title: Can a century old experiment reveal hidden properties of water?

Abstract: In 1893 Sir William Armstrong placed a cotton thread between two wine glasses filled with chemically pure water. After applying a high voltage, a watery connection formed, and after some time, the cotton thread was pulled into one of the glasses, leaving a rope of water suspended between the two glasses. Although being a very simple experiment, it is of special interest since it comprises a number of phenomena currently tackled in modern water science like electrolysis-less charge transport and nano bubbles. This work illuminates the experimental data from different perspectives. It shows which of the bridge's properties can be explained by established theories and which properties need new approaches as currently discussed within the scientific community.
