Book Reviews of The Hidden Messages in Water
Book Review: Fascinating but poorly completed
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an extraordinarily interesting book from the concept perspective. The author stumbled on the 'fact' that ice crystals develop particular forms when under the influence of words and music, claiming that this applies even to text pasted on the water container. This would be remarkable if true. However, the evidence that is provided is very poor. First, the photographs taken through microscopes are amaturish, out of focus in many cases, especially at the edges.
Second, the book is based on the statement that particular words and music produce either beautiful or ugly images or forms, and that this represents a kind of moral statement by the universe that guides action.
To be more convincing, the book would need to show multiple images of crystals formed by the same music or word. How reliable is the 'effect' of the music or text? Or at least it would need to explain how many times the experiment was done, and the results, with particular images acting as representatives.
And we would also benefit from some criteria for beauty/ugliness that were applied in these multiple tests. Clearly these aesthetic concepts are difficult, but you could use a panel of appropriately trained people to produce judgements. Here is an area for some potentially important and interesting real science.
