This Japanese man, famous for his experiments, which became a sensation at the end of the last century, is called a pseudo-scientist who has misled thousands of people around the world. He stated that water carries important messages and the life of a person is closely connected with its quality. Masaru Emoto spoke about his discovery made during his research work: thought, word, music influence the molecular structure of life-giving moisture. He even captured on film all the changes that occurred with water crystals, and photographs taken with a special camera caused a great resonance in society.
Why was the experimenter accused of scientific ignorance and called him an ordinary charlatan? Let's try to understand our article.
How did the interest in water begin?
In 1943, Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama, who founded his corporation in Tokyo. Having graduated from the course of international relations, he does not go into politics, but is interested in the work of the magnetic resonance analyzer and devotes himself to the study of water. In 1992, in Calcutta, where he studied for only a year, the Japanese received a doctor’s diploma in alternative medicine, and with it a permit for medical practice.
It is believed that his interest in the properties of water arose after meeting an American biochemist who had been treating his wife for a long time and suffered from a rare disease. The doctor tried different medications, but saw his beloved wife dying away before his eyes. Having relied on the fact that water occupies the bulk of a person’s weight, he passed it through a magnetic field, “telling” the fluid information useful to the woman’s body. A miracle happened - the beloved recovered, and the result hit Masaru Emoto so much that he immediately began to study the healing properties of water, which “hears” and “understands” everything.
Japanese experiments that made a splash
Having studied water in different parts of our planet, he excited the public with a statement that it has a memory and presented photographic evidence of many years of work. “Every word has vibrations, and beautiful words create a beautiful nature,” Masaru Emoto, alternative medicine doctor told the press, whose experiments are very simple.
Over cups of water, people expressed their emotions, cursed, prayed, spoke pleasant words in different languages of the world. Pictures showed transparent liquid, acted on it with fields from a working television, and immediately froze between the glass plates. This speed was very important, since the purity of the experiment consisted in the fact that the water molecules did not rearrange into the usual structure of ice, but retained the location obtained by external influences.
Pictures of frozen crystals amazed everyone: it was clear that the structure of the liquid was distorted when abusive words were spoken or aggressive heavy metal sounded. And vice versa, when classical music was played, beautiful pictures were shown, then the molecules had a perfect shape in the photo. Masaru Emoto captured the "emotions" of water, which absorbs human energy - both negative and positive.
New experiences
The Japanese doctor conducted another experiment that lasted more than a month. He poured three glass cups filled with rice with plain water so that it completely covered the cereal crop. Every day, the scientist spoke pleasant words in one container, cursed in another, and ignored the third. At the end of the study, Masaru Emoto discovered that the rice in the first vessel remained snow-white and exuded a pleasant aroma, the cereal in the second glass turned black and in the third - it rotted.
Solving the secrets of water, the Japanese concluded: it turned out that indifference was worst. In his opinion, it is very important to treat children correctly and exercise caution when choosing words and talking with them. The experiments of Emoto Masaru, very beautiful in artistic terms, made it possible to say that there is a memory of water. The Japanese compared the liquid to a USB flash drive from a computer that accumulates and stores information in molecules.
MythBusters
Physicists from California who carefully studied Masaru’s research smashed his conclusions. If the source of all life actually had a memory, then our whole life would have been very tragic: the rivers and oceans contain a huge amount of decaying remains. Fertilizers, heavy metals, and radioactive waste fall into the water in which people drown.
Therefore, the findings of Emoto were called absurd, and the inhabitants were explained the difference in the appearance of the frozen crystals. The thing is that the Japanese chose from thousands of the resulting photos beautiful and ugly, but in fact, when frozen, the water takes on various forms, regardless of any effects, since it is an element, not a living organism, capable of "remembering". Ugly snowflakes are obtained even in an ordinary refrigerator, and symmetrical can be found on the windows during the first frosts. In addition, all crystals are colorless, and a successful businessman photographs them through special filters.
In 2003, the Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto was offered one million dollars for conducting the so-called blind experiment, when neither the observer nor the subject knew all the data from the study with positive results. However, the bargain was ignored.
And experiments with boiled rice, which was influenced by the word, were performed both in Russia and abroad, but not a single experiment gave the same results as those of Emoto.
Scientist or successful businessman?
The Japanese, who has published several books where he talks about his findings, does not publish the results of research in the scientific press, although this is one of the mandatory requirements for a person who considers himself a scientist. But this did not prevent him from starting a successful business by advertising his own products. Masaru Emoto, who founded the Hodo Corporation, made a huge fortune. Now he is selling photographs of the “right” crystals, on which you want to put glasses, music, and even jugs with drawings.
In addition, everyone will be able to purchase "perfect" water at a price of $ 35 per bottle (as for good brandy), which the master himself said pleasant words to. As the manufacturer promises, if mixed with ordinary distilled, the latter will turn into a real cure for all diseases and will remain healing for a month.
This is a great business! According to scientists, the Japanese who made a fortune on water with zero prime cost of raw materials speculates on human needs - the desire to be healthy, which has become a fashion trend.
Or an original thinker?
However, there are those who call the entrepreneurial Masaru Emoto an original thinker who has received evidence that water responds to the signals that a person sends her. She "perceives" all our feelings and thoughts, emotions and words. The Japanese worship water, considering it the main source of beauty and a symbol of purification from all ailments.
Who knows, maybe this is so, because rock paintings in caves are known, which depict people who healed wounds with life-giving moisture, and Indian scientists who preserve ancient Vedic knowledge even prescribe it to be used for medicinal purposes. Even Christ, working miracles, used water.
Controversial issue
What position to take is a very controversial issue. If you rely only on scientific facts, then the Japanese can hardly be called a real scientist, but in our life there are too many inexplicable phenomena. And devoted fans of the author of several books, which have become best sellers, sincerely believe that water is the connecting link between matter and spirit.
