A Different Kind of Positivism
I was going to make this my chem 1 report topic but then turns out that the guy who wrote the research, Masaru Emoto, is highly criticized for the way he conducts his experiments. I don’t like experiments with a lot of holes in it :/ Error and everything. I still believe that scientists should be mindful of their work and to not do an experiment when you’re biased and you manipulate the study such that you get a particular finding. True that he claims that he is NOT a scientist but if you present a study like that, one would expect the criticisms.

yeah if you manipulate the study it turns into something useless…
how does he made the research with human fluids?? :S

Exactly! Oh! Not human fluids. Just water, I think? XD

“Masaru Emoto (江本勝, Emoto Masaru?, b. July 22, 1943, Yokohama, Japan) is an author known for his controversial claim that if human speech or thoughts are directed at water droplets before they are frozen, images of the resulting water crystals will be beautiful or ugly depending upon whether the words or thoughts were positive or negative.”
This sounds so non-scientific…

I know, right?! :/ But it’s a really interesting claim and people have been known to refer to it!
