On the Secret of Pseudoscience from Water Know the Answer

Water Know the Answer was published by Jiang Bensheng in Japan 1999. The book uses 122 photos of water crystals, which shows that water not only has emotions of emotions, but also can perceive human feelings. Once published, this book aroused the curiosity of many people, and became popular in the China book market in 2009, causing a phenomenal discussion.

Jiang Bensheng wrote in this book: Water can produce feelings similar to human beings. If the water bottle is labeled with "thank you", the water in the bottle will produce beautiful crystals.

When the water container is labeled as "Hitler", the water will show a crystal like "killing you", while when labeled as "Mother Teresa", the crystal will show a pattern like "love and gratitude".

Even more amazing is that water molecules can distinguish different types of music and have their own preferences. After playing Beethoven's symphony, water molecules can form beautiful and neat crystals; On the other hand, if they are forced to feel rock music, they will eventually produce ugly crystals to protest.

The human body is 70% water, and people's surrounding environment, mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, and even breathing and inhaling are inseparable from the existence of boiling water. In other words, human beings can completely influence the surrounding environment through their own emotions. When human beings smile at the world, the world will smile back with happiness.

No matter how warm it sounds, a lie is a lie after all. In 2007, Kenan Zuo, a lecturer at the University of Tokyo, published "Water Don't Know the Answer" to refute Jiang Bensheng.

The formation of water crystals is only related to temperature and humidity. If the crystallization temperature is between -5℃ and-10℃, the crystals are more likely to form columnar or needle-like structures. At about-15℃, water crystallization tends to form flake snowflakes. As for the complexity of snowflakes, it is related to humidity. The smaller the humidity, the simpler the shape of snowflakes.

Zuo Juan Kenan claimed: "This kind of pseudoscience is used to teach morality, understand words and people's emotions, and make children blindly believe in pseudoscience, which will lead to the destruction of the foundation of science education."

Jiang Bensheng's glamorous coat was peeled off layer by layer. He claimed to be a doctor of medicine, a writer, a scientist and so on. However, after human flesh search, it was learned that his doctorate was bought at a diploma workshop for 350 dollars.

Moreover, Jiang Bensheng's research results are obviously suspected of advertising, because his company is selling a kind of "high-energy water" while promoting "water knows the answer", claiming to have the most perfect crystal structure, which can also delay aging and cure diseases without strengthening the body. Such water is naturally sky-high, and a bottle of 227 grams of "high-energy water" costs as much as 35 dollars.

According to academic practice, Jiang Bensheng should first publish his experimental reports in professional journals such as Science and Nature. But he didn't do it, and he didn't disclose his experiment.

It is difficult for the outside world to know the experimental process and to recover the verification. This is a typical pseudo-scientific behavior, and many authoritative people have questioned it.

In 2003, Rydy, the founder of James Rydy Education Foundation, publicly proposed that Jiang Bensheng would be given $6,543,800+if his experimental results could be reproduced in a double-blind experiment.

In 2005, William Tilly, an engineering professor at Stanford University, pointed out that Jiang Bensheng did not control the three key factors affecting water crystallization, and the experimental results were not supported by evidence.

From June 5438 to February 2005, Zuckerberg, a bachelor from Cashton College in Vermont, also commented that Jiang Bensheng's experiment lacked logical rigor.

At this point, the truth has surfaced, and Jiang Bensheng's "photos of experimental results" are just deliberately selected. The book Water Know the Answer was originally published by Jiang Bensheng at his own expense, but it has not been recognized by any authoritative scientific journals from beginning to end.

Generally speaking, Jiang Bensheng's theory is full of loopholes, so it should be difficult to stand, but the facts are staggering.

2011121,Guangzhou media reported the "rice experiment" in Ma Hao, Huacheng Primary School in Tianhe District. The story originated from the scientific documentary "Water Know the Answer".

In this experiment, Ma Hao put three bowls of rice in the refrigerator and treated them with different attitudes. A bowl of praise "you are as beautiful as an angel, I really hate to throw you away!" " A bowl of curse. You are disgusting. How dare you stay in my house? I will teach you a lesson! ""There is a bottle of rice lying quietly in the refrigerator, which has never been ignored.

A month has passed, and the praised rice is still white, only a little yellow. The rice that has been strongly scolded has become black and smelly, while the rice that should have become more smelly and neglected has only turned yellow in Ma Hao's hands.

The reporter of Southern Metropolis Daily praised this activity, thinking that it cultivated the love of primary school students and changed their behavior. And interviewed a local "psychologist" to testify: "The rice experiment is supported by psychology and quantum physics and is true and credible."

This is simply an upgraded version of the emperor's new clothes, and even naive children praise the emperor's new clothes.

"Water Know the Answer" has been published for 23 years, and it is still on the e-commerce platform, with rave reviews. This is the place worth pondering.

In fact, Jiang Bensheng's lies are not subtle at all, and can be falsified through simple experiments in life, but why have they been popular for more than 20 years?

Let's just say this bowl of Jiang Bensheng chicken soup is really delicious. Jiang Bensheng told everyone that as long as you treat water well, water will treat you well, and as long as you treat the world well, the world will treat you well. This is simply too simple!

But do we need this bowl of chicken soup?

An adult should face the dripping blood and the bleak life;

An adult should still love life after seeing the truth of life clearly.

There is never a shortcut to understanding and changing the world, and there is no word "simple".

If you believe that through a book, a set of videos and a trip, you can gain insight into everything in the world and change the world, then I'm afraid you will only fall into the trap carefully designed by others and become an innocent leek.

Zhai,,, Nie Xiao, all think that speech can make people wake up, gain successful thinking and reach the peak of life. People with sufficient knowledge reserves can laugh it off and disdain to argue, but those young people who are eager for success are easy to be captured.

Wang Defeng, a professor of philosophy at Fudan University, teaches numerology and birth while smoking, but he can make a sensation in Mile Mile and Tik Tok, which shows how eager those audiences are to find a simple way to know the world.

These people claim to be the head of the Department of Metaphysics, a professor of Feng Shui and a master of numerology, but they don't know that China has never offered metaphysics, Feng Shui and numerology in universities.

In 2005, the Feng Shui Training Course of Nanjing University was established, which is the first formal Feng Shui industry training in China and has been held for 20 times. However, Nanjing University said that the Feng Shui training class is a personal behavior and has nothing to do with Nantah. The Ministry of Construction of China also issued a statement saying that they respect the study of Feng Shui culture, but deny the certification of Feng Shui masters.

Coincidentally, on 20 10, Tsinghua University Yijing Advanced Workshop on Geomantic Architecture was established, which is the same business training class as Nanjing Geomantic Training Class. Each student is RMB 16800 yuan, and the course is divided into five lectures: the origin of geomantic omen, geomantic omen solution, practical application of compass, divination solution and real case analysis.

After the course, the Macao Yijing Kanyu Association will issue a certificate of completion of the "Advanced Workshop on Architectural Feng Shui".

Yes, these training courses have nothing to do with university enrollment, teaching and certificates, just renting a place in a university. The audience is still trying to master the ultimate truth through several training courses in order to be "simple and easy".

Feng Shui is not completely dross, but there is still a long way to go before we can master the operation law of all things through Feng Shui. It is impossible for a person to have three five classes.

"New Popular Philosophy" wrote:

Understanding the laws of nature, society and thinking is by no means straightforward and simple, but a process from ignorance to understanding, from shallow to deep, from one-sided to comprehensive, on the basis of social practice, which is a cyclical, tortuous and spiraling process.

This is our most familiar common sense, but it is always not as good as the word "simple" in pseudoscience.
