Carolyn Williams, a brilliant young astrophysicist researching cosmic dark matter, was hired by the Institute as the junior faculty successor to the deceased woman. What Carolyn Williams discovered about the Institute's suppression of her predecessor's energy research, the connection of the mysterious water energy to dark matter, and the shocking truth about the woman's murder are the subjects of a dramatized feature film, "Breaking Symmetry" (available on DVD from Amazon.com ), written, produced, and directed by Keith Johnson, and a forthcoming television series, "The Institute," based on "Breaking Symmetry."
In the following pages, we explore the drama, science, and academic sexual politics behind this unusual film - including the links between the properties of water, the cold-fusion controversy, cosmic dark matter, and the genesis of life in our water-rich Universe.
