Dr.Emoto's message of water

[Quantum Leap2]

In the book What The Bleep Do We Know I read about this dude's thoughts & water experiment. Water with positive messages like thank you and love formed beautiful crystals. Water with negative messages formed crystals that became ugly & malformed. Response to these and other water photographs has been worldwide. Anyone know where on the interent these could be viewed?

Did you try popping "Emoto water" into a google image search?

Here is one of many pages:

Emoto-chow.

The chow link doesn't seem to work for me.
You can see ice crystals all over the internet, does it really matter what some nut job says about them?

While I wouldn't have used quite that language, I must agree. The moment anyone produces significant, double-blind, reproducible evidence that the "state of mind" of the person who puts the ice tray in the freezer affects the way the ice freezes, it will make headlines in every science journal in the world, and James Randi will take a tax deduction for the loss of a cool million dollars.

A priori, I, too, call this hogwash; at very least, I want to see this reproduced by an independent researcher before I even bother to pay attention to it.

These crystals can be viewed just about anywhere someone needs a minor miracle of the third degree with no scientific proof at all. You know, where cults make pretense to having some scientific basis and where people try to justify bogus methods of spiritual self-improvement. That is to say, just about everywhere on the net and in many books, too. (This is one of many methods recently shown to me at a rant-inducing presentation of pseudoscience here in Kyoto.)

This page is pretty interesting

Thanks Mags...Appreciate the web site to Emoto.

To forestall any further questions you might have: If it's referenced in What The Bleep Do We Know, it's pure crap.

I have some of Emoto's books (for reasons that I cannot elaborate at this time). He has never provided any scientific or even credible evidence that the magical powers he ascribes to water are true. No one (besides people who believe his theories) has ever been able to replicate his results.

Out of curiosity, do you have a good site or book to debunk it? I watched it, but I always had the feeling throughout that something wasn't quite right, and that the experts words were being taken out of context.

In PopSci, they reviewed it and the experts actually said they were being quoted out of context and were NFBSK'ed about it.
