Have you heard of Dr. Masaru Emoto?

I find this just absolutely fascinating. If our thoughts can affect water just imagine what they can do to us?😊

There. I gave MHO's to both people who replied! 🤣 Thank you! 💖

I had to do a double-take but yes. I did hear about this years ago.

I double-checked if the experiments have been reliably replicated by anyone now and the sad answer seems to be no.

I do find it incredibly interesting and while pretty unreasonable, it is not as if it is impossible. We know that things like the placebo effect is very real and can in some instances be as effective as actual medication. The idea that our power of thought can impact reality is honestly quite reasonable.

But I think it is important to note a few things.

First, Masaru Emoto is not and never was a doctor. He received a doctorate from a fradulent institution that ended up shut down for awarding it without any basis to people. Including Masaru Emoto. Calling him a doctor is insulting to people who earned real doctorates.

Second, Masaru Emoto never actually provided any proof of his findings. While the process was described there was zero evidence other than "trust me bro" provided.

Third, after becoming famous the experiment did get an initially promising validation test with a blind testgroup of 2000 people. This test did not confirm the initial findings but did arrive at the conclusion that water exposed to positive human emotions was, when frozen, more aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately this was carried out by a group directly associated and working with Masaru Emoto and the group in question is sadly known to falsify their results to match the outcome they want. Between being Masaru Emoto's literal colleagues and being known to lie about their results, paired with only sharing the result it is exceedingly hard to put any faith in it. No one else has replicated it to the best of my knowledge and replication is, in the limited capacity of showing a nice picture and then freezing water, quite simple.

Fourth, if this was true at all Masaru Emoto would be astonishingly famous and mentioned in every chemistry textbook in existence. While this is speculative on my part, dozens of chemists have likely playfully tested and dismissed the ideas to avoid ridicule. Had they found it matched his claims they would likely have happily taken a nobel prize for it.

But as said before, the idea that our emotions have a manifested effect is not crazy and it is very appealing. I would personally like people to explore this sort of paranormal pseudoscience. However at least in this case, it is unfortunately likely nonsense. Which does not mean we can't impact water with emotion, just that Masaru Emoto certainly never proved it. Neither did anyone else.

Thank you for me. Water could be a god with everything we use it for. And what it gives us life
