Emoto’s Pseudoscience

Apparently, Emoto’s experimental protocols are so lacking as to be
unrepeatable, and even the most basic attempts at scientific controls are absent. Regular Skeptical Inquirer contributor Harriet Hall reviewed Emoto’s book

about his experiments herself, giving it the honor of “the worst book I have ever read.
Emoto’s work has largely been neglected by mainstream scientists, although a few have pointed out the obvious lack of controls and subjective nature of the photographing processes that completely negate his claims. He also refused James Randi‘s million-dollar prize to redo the experiment with proper double-blind conditions. Emoto did not particularly care about science though; he was primarily interested, of course, in selling his books, promoting his expensive “seminars” and “lectures”, and selling overpriced water.
