Masuro Emoto's experiments

Masuro Emoto did an en experiment involving water and emotion. Well, has this experiment actually been replicated? I would like to call this experiment BS.

By the way, if you want to know where this is coming from, watch What the "Bleep" Do We Know!?

Well, IIRC it is a known fact that there is a very slight magnetic field around your brain (or some sort of field). The various chemical reactions in the brain cause this.

But you're right, I'm skeptical that such things ould influence the whole structure of the way something freezes...

Anyone with a voice (or a typing finger or two) can call something BS. If you don't believe it then perform your own experiments. If you don't have a microscope perhaps you could grow two identical plants and be real nice to one and scream at the other.

lol. Alright.

I was going to do an experiemnt like that one time. Sprout two seperate jars of wheat seeds, scream at and insult one batch and say really nice & supportive things to the other. Then plant them both and see which ones grew faster (wheatgrass grows very fast, over an inch a day under proper conditions so this would be a fairly quick and easy experiment). I never did it though, I didn't have the heart to scream at the innocent little seeds.

Off topic, I did do an experiment with microwaved water once. The seeds I tried to grow in microwaved water swelled a bit but never grew (note : I did not microwave the seeds, just the water I put them in). Makes me wonder how I ever survived my childhood (where 70% of my meals were microwaved). Humans are pretty tough & resiliant I guess.

lol. Alright.

Cool. Let us know how it goes. You could even take pictures and document it if you have a digital camera. Amazing era we live in, anyone can be a scientist!

Did you let the water cool before putting it in the pot?

It's BS what Masuro Emoto is saying, the moment he wins this prize is the moment I believe him.

I let it (it was a glass) cool to room temp. before putting the seeds in it.

By the way, there is nothing supernatural or "occult" about emotions transforming the molecular structure of things. I read a study once (and no I don't have it on hand) about how scientists would put mice in a cage with inescapable shocks. Then he would remove those mice and put new mice in the cage (without turning the shocks back on) and the new mice would get really frantic without even having seen the old mice simply because (according to the text) they could feel the air charged with fear (the released airborne hormones of the shocked mice).

Did you let the cold water of your control heat up to room temperature before putting the seeds in. How many seeds did you use?

We're not talking about pheronomenes or sweat or stuff here (Iwonder if it was ozone that set 'em off), we're talking about much sillier things. I suppose it could be more adequatly labeld junk science, but either way.

He took *one* snow crystal from all of those collected, then made bad pictures of the ugliest crystals for thoughts like "Adolf Hitler." Amusing, but complete pseudoscience.

And the saddest thing is he probobly believes it.

The Message from Water? What's next, the message from the oil spill 300 miles off the Alaskan coast? Yes I agree, this is BS

 

[Babbler]

Water is a very malleable substance. Its physical shape easily adapts
to whatever environment is present. But its physical appearance is not
the only thing that changes; its molecular shape also changes. The
energy or vibrations of the environment will change the molecular
shape of water. In this sense water not only has the ability to visually
reflect the environment but it also molecularly reflects the environment.

What the... Last time I checked, the molecular shape was constant, for water, carbon dioxide, ammonia ... any substance, in fact. Else it woudn't be that substance. I have only taken a three-quarters of year in the science program.

This is total BS, indeed.
