Question

An advertisement for a sweatshirt that appeared in SkyMall Magazine (a catalog distributed by some airlines) stated the following. "This is not your ordinary hoody! Why? Fact: Research shows that written words on containers of water can influence the water's structure for better or worse depending on the nature and intent of the word. Fact: The human body is 70% water. What if positive words were printed on the inside of your clothing?" For only $79, you could purchase a hooded sweatshirt that had over 200 positive words (such as hope, gratitude, courage, and love) in 15 different languages printed on the inside of the sweatshirt so that you could benefit from being surrounded by these positive words. The fact that written words on containers of water can influence the water's structure appears to be based on the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who typed words on paper and then pasted them on bottles of water. He noted how the water reacted to the words by observing crystals formed in the water. He describes several of his experiments in his self-published book, The Message from Water. If you were going to Interview Dr. Emoto, what questions would you want to ask him about his experiment? (Select all that apply.) How many bottles of water were used in the experiment? Was there a control group in which the bottles had identical labels to those used in the treatment group but without the positive words? Did the people who measured the water's structure know which bottles were in which group? Were the positive words written by the same people? Were the bottles randomly assigned to the groups? Was the state of the water measured twice after the experiment?

Answer 1

Answer: ---- Date: --- 13/4/2020 If I go to interview the researcher I will ask how he can tell that the water can be reacted depending on the words printed outside the cover of the container. If the container contains spoiled water and the words printed on the container are very affective then how can he justify his research. As he mentioned about the positive words printed on the cloths can benefit persons wearing those cloths with positive words, how can he justify by comparing water with humans as one is living and other is a non-living thing.
