Well, i am not a chemist but i have 3 remarks:
- aint 'oxydisation' = 'oxydo-reduction' = 'galvanic corrosion' ?
- if you read all the warnings on a bottle of WW, you'll see this thing is quite poisonous. It contains alkaline by-products, which are (if my memories are right) amongst the strongest poisons around. So i wouldn't see a (terrestrial...) life form developing in such a mixture.
- most people using WW report a 'blackish' colouring of copper surfaces. No doubt it's copper oxyde...
(side note: oxyde comes from oxygen, hence the 'y'. It's true in French but i'm not really sure about it's English counterpart... So, in English, 'Oxide' or 'Oxyde' ?)
