Introduction<\/h3>\n
As you know, \u201cMessages from Water\u201d is a collection of photographs of water crystals, which was published by Dr. Masaru Emoto in June, 1999. When tap water was frozen and observed by a microscope, no hexagonally organized beautiful crystals were detected in most cases. However, in the case of clean spring waters, or tasteful natural waters, very beautiful hexagonal crystal structures were observed. Similarly, when pure water was first exposed to different pieces of music and then examined in the same way, the forms of the resultant crystals were different depending on the music played. Furthermore, when photographs, or written words, were shown to water the resultant water crystals displayed various different shapes from very beautiful to ugly ones.<\/p>\n
However, basically only one photograph is chosen among many photographs taken under each experimental condition in \u201cMessages from Water\u201d. Because of this situation, some people misunderstand that very similar water crystal photographs were taken from each water sample. In fact, there are no identical water crystals just as there are no identical snowflakes.<\/p>\n
Usually in our experiments, we place a drop of sample water onto each of 50 or 100 Petri dishes and freeze them. We then observe the tip of 50 or 100 different ice samples under the microscope. Even in the best water samples, the ratio of the beautiful crystals is at most 15%. In the remaining 85% of ice samples, the shape of the crystal is not beautiful because the crystal structure is partially or completely broken, or no crystal is observed at all because a depression is formed at the center of the tip of the ice.<\/p>\n
Because of this situation, some people hold a negative opinion about \u201cMessages from Water\u201d. These people criticize that the photographic collection was made by intentionally choosing only one photograph from the many taken under each experimental condition. They argue that the selected photograph could be biased to match the author\u2019s viewpoint.<\/p>\n
One of the ways to circumvent this criticism is to present all the photographs taken under a certain condition and not by only choosing one. If this was done, we would be showing our data objectively and we could not be criticized as intentionally choosing a specific photograph to prove our hypothesis.<\/p>\n
\u3000Report in 1999 by Emoto and Obara showing the results of all data<\/h3>\n
In 1999, a report entitled \u201cEvaluation of Hado Information by Water Crystal Photography\u201d was published in Journal of the Subtle Energy Association in Japan (pp.5-10, Vol.3, No.2, 1999) by Masaru Emoto and Daisuke Obara. Daisuke Obara, now an expert of Mayan calendar, worked for Dr. Emoto as a staff of IHM at that time.<\/p>\n
In the report\u2019s summary, the authors wrote that the intention of the report was to actually show all data obtained by water crystal photography.<\/p>\n
They stated, \u201cSo far, we usually picked up some representative water crystals from various water samples and showed their water crystal photographs. Actually, we have evaluated at least 50 different ice crystals from one water sample. Therefore, this time, we present some experimental results based on all the data from each water sample.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The following three experimental results were described in this report.<\/p>\n In either experiment, they observed 50 ice crystals from each water sample by the same water crystal photography as is used in \u201cMessages from Water\u201d. They then classified the shape of each water crystal, based on the classification standard shown in Table 1, into one of the 17 different patterns, and made a histogram to show how many water crystals appeared in each pattern. Please note that in the display of histograms below, some patterns are combined into one, so the total number of patterns is 12.<\/p>\n Furthermore, a score was assigned to each classified pattern as is shown in Table 1. They totaled up all the scores of 50 water crystals from each water sample and calculated the average score in each sample.<\/p>\nExp. 1<\/h4>\n
