Water has feelings (as well as memory)

A woo friend told me about a simple test whereby water was placed in two cups. One cup was subjected to a torrent of verbal abuse, then other was complimented and pampered. Then both cups were placed in a freezer. After a while the resultant ice was studied under a microscope. The pampered water had formed 'beautiful' ice crystals, whilst the abused ice formed 'ugly' crystals.

Has anyone heard of this spectaculr nonsense before, and do you have any weblinks for it?
 
Confirmation bias. Look for one type in water A, look for a more disarrayed type in water B.

Simple way to test: have a random assortment of bottles all from the same source subjected to various "treatments" without being even visible to the person administering the "treatment." The randomized bottles are then doled out into "apploximate" amounts of 15 ml, frozen and viewed, and only then evaluated as to whether they fell into groups A or B or No Treatment.

If this has any merit, it will be shown to be a statistically significant phenomenon. In other words, most of the "good" ones will look good, rather than one of many, and most of the "bad" ones will look bad, while the neutral ones will remain neutral.

Now, to avoid further bias, the doling out, freezing, and viewing processes will probably have to be conducted without much handling, as I'm sure it would be declared that this could "contaminate" the samples.

I'm sure the water would be deeply upset by the sceptical attitude of the people conducting the test.
 
Snow is water.
When I pee in the snow it stays yellow.

Therefore water has memory.

We have to be skeptical of this, too. Is it the water that has memory, or your pee? Can we test the difference? Have you tried freezing your pee?
 
Nice water... :rub:

Actually, now that I watch them for a while, I've got to ask: What are these two smilies doing?

Stupid woos.
 
Maybe the reason is that by you swearing at the one cup of water, you cause it's blood pressure to go up. :)

Well, figure it out for yourself. Obviously they are two male smilies. I don't see long hair and eyelashes on the one. :)

Oh, I know what you're thinking, but it's lemon.
 
My biology teacher in tenth grade showed us a video of some researchers who were speaking or yelling various emotion-laden phrases to yogurt (which, for some reason they pronounced "yah-gert"). I don't remember what their supposed result was, but I think that's the day I became a skeptic.

You would hurl gay insults at smilies.

How do you determine the sex of smilies? Is it in smilie DNA that the females have long hair and eyelashes? Could not a male smilie grow his hair out in an act of social defiance? What about cross dressing smilies?

In fact, your insinuation is that it's two male smilies having gay sex or something. How is it that it couldn't just be one smilie comforting another, very distraught smilie?



Holy sh**. I need to go watch cartoons or something. I just got offended by an Iamme post about gay smilies and tried to logically retort. Obviously I am taking today way too seriously.

Yeah. Maybe one glass of water had guy H2Os in it, and the wussy cup had the sooky female H2Os in it?

Reminds me of Cartman putting his semen into the aquarium with seamonkeys in it, and... (oh, too much South Park).

Was one of them Denzil Dexter, by any chance?

One would have to guard against spittle and saliva contaminating the water while insults and expletives are being hurled at it.

(Your mother was an ice-cube and your father smelt of sewer gas!)
 
So is this English speaking water, or just the general negative vibes given out by the insults? You'd have to try shouting nice things and whispering insults softly to it for a fair test. Or am I taking this too seriously?
 
It sounds to me that somebody had to sit through one to many showings of Ghostbusters II (FSM knows, that's enough to do any person serious mental damage)
 
By reading fowlsound's post regarding me, and then my noticing his juiced up avatar, I'd say he has not 'been on the bottle', but rather his water cup had strontium 96 in it or something. :)
