You know, the cat never gets a say in this...

is it to be assumed that you have?

care to join in on the conversation if you have?


I read his book 'The True Power of Water'. I found it very interesting.

In his various experiments, he would put different words onto labels and then attach them to different containers of water. Then after some time had elapsed, he would test the crystalization process of each sample. The results are .....well, very interesting.

did he have people read those words and look at the water, or did he simply just put the words on the bottles and then come back later?

I don't remember exactly, it's been a while. I think he just put labels on the water containers and put them in a fridge for a day.

I'll have to look over the book again, but I believe he did a series of experiments, some involving labels and some involving talking to or
"praying" over water.

You can read an excerpt from the book here:

But there is an odd feature of the theory that philosophers and scientists still argue about. In a nutshell, the theory suggests that we change things simply by looking at them and theorists have puzzled over the implications for years. They often illustrate their concerns about what the theory means with mind-boggling experiments, notably Schrodinger's cat in which, thanks to a fancy experimental set up, the moggy is both alive and dead until someone decides to look, when it either carries on living, or dies. That is, by one interpretation (by another, the universe splits into two, one with a live cat and one with a dead one.)


Jesus, that's pathetic. Laughing

Hopefully no taxpayers' money funded any of it.
