Emoto Masaru’s water test was a pseudo-experiment. . Why?
1. Doctoral Degree in "Alternative Medicine"
The degree called "Doctor of Medicine" by Masaru Emoto is a very alternative major. The profession of "alternative medicine" is not a science and is not recognized by the mainstream medical community. In his books and various speeches and promotions, Masaru Emoto titled himself "Doctor of Alternative Medicine" purely to cover up his fraud. Because in the West, "alternative medicine" is a complementary therapy that is classified outside of conventional Western medical treatment. So-called complementary therapies mainly include treatments such as meditation, massage, aromatherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. "Alternative medicine" is not taken seriously by Western medicine, and is even regarded as "alien". In many countries, the attitude towards "alternative medicine" is just to let it be. For example, in the UK, anyone can practice acupuncture as long as they say "I am an acupuncturist". The threshold for this "professional" is very low. Emoto Masaru obtained a doctorate in medicine in such a professional field.
2. Masaru Emoto studied at Pheasant University
Let’s go back to the university where Dr. Masaru Emoto obtained his doctorate in alternative medicine: International Open University of India, which is affiliated with the Indian Council of Alternative Medicine. (Indian Board of
Alternative
Medicien). Information shows that this school is a money-making pheasant university, that is, a school that specializes in collecting money to award "degrees" in alternative medicine. Students don't even need to come here to take classes. As long as they pay a few hundred dollars through the Internet, they can get a "Doctor of Medicine" or "Doctor of Philosophy" degree without taking an exam. According to Gary
Greenberg, a doctor of medicine at University College London and a former assistant professor at the University of South Carolina in the United States, Emoto Masaru’s doctorate was bought for US$350. In addition, Liu Fan, the son of Liu Hongzhang, the famous "Liu Taiyi" who is a swindler in China's health care industry, also obtained a degree from this school.
3. Masaru Emoto has never published any work in professional academic journals
According to scientific research practice, if Masaru Emoto proposed a statement about the energy of water, he should first report his experiments Published in professional journals such as Science and Nature. However, Emoto did not do this, nor did he disclose his experimental process, so it is difficult for the outside world to know his experimental process and restore and verify it. This is a typical behavior of pseudoscience. Only by publishing papers and accepting peer review is the correct way for scientists to publish their research results. "Research" that is unwilling to be tested cannot even be called wrong. The book "Water Knows the Answer" was originally published by Emoto at his own expense, directly to the public.
In 2006, Gary Greenberg, MD, University College London and former assistant professor at the University of South Carolina, wrote in an article: "As a Scientist and artist... and awarded 17 patents for three-dimensional microscopy... I was very surprised when I was told about Emoto's research on water crystals under microscope, because I did not find any academic mention of his scientific experiments in important academic journals. Article. Further, I found that the master's degree at the Open International University in India, which awarded Emoto Masaru's doctorate, costs $500, and the doctorate degree is $350 and does not require any courses or exams... I would like to ask why Emoto doesn't ask his peers to check it out. What about publishing his scientific experiments in famous academic journals? ... I only believe in correct experimental methods to truly understand nature and the great universe we live in."
========== ==============================================
Also, his experiments have nothing to do with true belief in Buddhism. . As for whether Buddhism is a religion or a science. . Let me tell you that Buddhism is the correct understanding of the universe and life by the enlightened person (Buddha, Lord Buddha). . Science is developing, and many results are surprisingly similar to Buddhism. This shows that science is on the road of continuous development, step by step verifying the correctness of Buddhism! !
