Water anyone?

From Wikipedia:

William Reville, professor of biochemistry at University College Cork writing in the Irish Times, described The Hidden Messages in Water as a work of pseudoscience, and characterized the book as "an amalgam of science and mumbo-jumbo" with "no credible hypothesis as to causation, no development of the idea, no fruitfulness in the concept, and, above all, no clear scientific demonstration.” He concluded by stating that "It is very unlikely that there is any reality behind Emoto's claims. A triple blind study of these claims failed to show any effect. Also, the phenomenon he describes has never been published in a peer reviewed science journal, which almost certainly means that the effect cannot be demonstrated under controlled conditions." Physicist Kenneth Libbrecht, an expert on snow, also saw the book as displaying confirmation bias, joking that "it's good to have an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out!"

The effect cannot be reproduced, so the hypothesis is disproven.

You do realize that anyone can add info to Wikipedia? It's not like this source of information has been substantiated.
 
I don’t need a reference to know that human thought is of no influence in the physical world. Thought is not physical, and is utterly inconsequential. Water is always H2O. And William Reville is a contributor to The Irish Times and is emeritus professor of biochemistry at University College Cork.

We are all entitled to our own opinion. I however have had some thoughts that have turned into reality. Either I am psychic, or perhaps they could be just a coincidence. A lot of coincidences in my life. When I have more available time, I might share some of them with you.

When you have transformed matter with your mind, let me know.

Well I know that no matter how focused I am I cannot materialize three women, who love me, care for me, caress me in the most sensual way but I keep trying. And then I wipe up a good percentage of H20 from my belly and go on about my day!
