Is there anybody out there that has heard of "a physicist that has
written two hundredth (sic) books" and, besides, supports the
findings of a Dr. Masaru Emoto who has found "hidden
messages in the water" in his photographs of water crystals? I've
heard of the physicist in a local radio program. I'm intrigued by the
existence of such a physicist, not by the Emoto "findings", but if
someone wants to give two cents to pseudoscience it's OK by me.

<<He began by writing phrases like "thank you" and "you
fool" in various languages on paper and placing the paper
under the distilled water samples, and his published photos
below (Emoto, Messages 7) show a surprising result.
Samples that had been exposed to the words "thank you"
exhibited beautiful crystals, while samples that had been
exposed to the words "you fool" would not form crystals at
all.
<<Encouraged by his findings, Emoto began studying the
effects of prayer, blessings, and spoken words. Not
surprisingly, his results indicated that water crystal
formation was also sensitive to these things--yielding his
current hypothesis; "Molecules of water are affected by our
thoughts, words, and feelings." (Emoto, Messages cover)
<<Dr. Emoto's published method of obtaining photographs of
crystals involves a relatively simple and inexpensive
process. 0.5 mL samples of liquid water from a specific
sample are placed on 100 petri dishes that are then frozen
and stored at a temperature of -25°C for three hours in a
freezer. A sample is removed from the freezer for
observation under a microscope with a camera in a room
with a constant temperature of -5°C. As the microscope's
light melts the top of the sample, crystals are observed and
photos are taken (Emoto, Healing 2).>>
