“Water is the driving force of all nature.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Water makes most of earths surface and most of our human bodies … but do we really know the secrets of this amazing element.

From agriculture, to factories and hydropower, we put water to work in a million different ways every day. And yet water acts outside all known physical laws of nature.

At a time of global climate change, understanding the mysteries of water is critical. Every living thing needs it to survive … Our ignorance of its function and capacities has lead us to abuse its quality and forget its potential. Witness WATER’s capacity and challenge historical assumptions. Unveil enlightened information and new scientific discoveries that create new possibilities for water’s use in every field of endeavor.

These new discoveries go beyond human reckoning – beyond the solar systems and galaxies to the Source of life itself..

Featuring breathtaking discoveries by researchers worldwide including Masaru Emoto from “What the Bleep Do We Know” …

“Just as with the film “What The Bleep Do We Know” , “Water” shows us through science that our thoughts have an effect on our external reality. Imagine the possibilities when people realize their own potential for creativity. Films like this give me hope that there is an emergence of collective intelligence that can solve the problems of the world.”

    People seem to doubt what is right in front of their eyes because they wish not to believe it e.g. no one wants to be believe that Islam aims to dominate the world even though Muslims have written it on placards and pushed into their face after being exposed by numerous hidden camera shows exposing the saudi arabian teachings being taught stating the same thing about taking over when they are ready to. Denial of reality is common and so I am very open minded about this. It needs more evidence which I will find if it is there when I get the chance.

    Just did a check on the claim that adding emulsified water improves fuel efficiency meaning that water does actually burn as suggested and it is pukka, searched it on google scholar 100% true.  http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196890403001791   water mysteries 1 doubters 0

      That site does not in any way state that the water burns. “The results indicate that the addition of water in the form of emulsion improves combustion efficiency” is not burning water..

    Dr Emoto MASARU also checks out as genuine. I found this on google scholar, http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/107555304322848913 which is talked about in the video above. The relevance of this is that anything found on google scolar can be taken to be a reliable source of information.  http://astro.temple.edu/~rlfile/criteria_for_evaluating_info.pdf  I dont think I need to add anything else I’m convinced this video is genuine.

    I’m writing the completely WRONG claims in the film as I watch it:

    -Scientist DO KNOW why water expands below 4 degrees.
    -Water is NOT the only liquid to do this.
    -”In the south, people would put wet wedges…” What south? You can’t just say “in the south” South of what?!!!!
    -Plant shoots can NOT break through asphalt AT ALL!!! They might grow through cracks, but they sure as hell can’t break it. Tree roots might be able to slowly over years and years.
    -”Every one of water’s properties is unique” Absolute fucking bullshit. Water is a liquid, is THAT unique to water?
    -”Science cannot explain….three states, highest surface tension, capillary action” YES IT CAN.

    Fuck me, that was just the first five minutes. I give up.

    Water has many interesting properties. It is vital to life and it can exist in all forms withing the range of temperatures and pressures of the earth’s crust, surface and atmosphere. However, it is much more likely that water is important because it was present rather than the other way around. It’s attraction to it’s self is more a result of it molecular geometry than anything else. And statements about water being the only substance that exists in all three states is incorrect. Under the correct conditions ALL substances can exist in four states. As is the assertion that only water is more dense in it’s liquid form. This is true of all liquids that crystallize. All of the peer accredited scientists in this documentary are just stating that water is important and interesting. But if you ask any scientist about their topic of study they will say the same.

    Water is something that we all should care about and protect, but I don’t think you’ll catch me speaking to it anytime soon.

    I must speak up in defense of Chuck Norse’s comments. The art of science as we know it today is a religious one. There is so much more to the universe, the world and our human bodies than “science” can explain, understand or even comprehend.

    It is only the belief of those too narrow-minded to see the vastness of the yet unknown and unimagined that makes them grasp at so called “scientific fact”. This is not any different than those religious fanatics that threatened early scientists with excommunication or death for expounding on their findings.

    People who refuse to open their minds to possibilities beyond what their “scientific” method can prove, limit their own ability to be good scientists. Science is a belief system based on a strict method of observation and structured experimentation that can produce replicable outcomes. It is expanding all the time and most true scientists,  that I know, understand the limits of the art they practice. It takes an open mind to ideas beyond what we can currently prove to advance what we currently understand or think we know.

    I do believe that there is a body of knowledge that has grown out of good scientific method. However, to expand on that body of information documentaries such as this bring fresh view points and possibilities to the world of science and the collective mind. Perhaps this documentary will lead to discoveries that will open doors and turn on lights that lead to human advancements that will one day be viewed as common knowledge that can not be refuted.

    After all there was a time when the science of the time said the world was flat! We live in a dynamic world not a static one. What we understand and believe to be true and fact today could be  fairytale tomorrow.

      You don’t understand the scientific method if you’re saying that. “Scientific facts” are not facts at all. They are observations that are adjusted if they cannot stand up to scrutiny. The problem with science is the mainstream media’s interpretation and the politics involved in it and how it is used. If you truly understood the institution of science you would know that it was created under the tenant of being just as organic as life in so far as it explores the mysteries of the universe. No real scientist would ever advocate that you take a scientific fact as proof of the existence of anything. Science as an institution seeks to understand nature, not to create some unchangeable monument of mankind that’s never to be questioned.

        And to add to that: Science has done and still does some despicable things. It’s created weapons of mass destruction. It’s lead to eugenics programs that lead to forced sterilization programs in the US and the Holocaust in Europe, as well as inhumane attempts at mind control experiments ultimately culminating in a very scientific methods of torture that is used around the world today. But it’s also done some very good things. It’s allowed us to harness the power of electricity to better our lives. It’s the reason you’re able to make a comment on a thread in a forum on a computer that is a combination of electrical energy flowing through gated channels of silicon that is connected via a vast communications network consisting of fiber optics, wireless transmission and satellites that orbit the Earth. The scientific method is a tool. So long as that tool is used morally, it will produce moral things. Whenever it is allowed to be used immorally, it will beget immorality. Religion and science are separate institutions of mankind that both have their value to society and to each other, but whenever they are used with malicious intent they have horrific and oppressive outcomes. It’s up to us. Don’t use science or religion as a scapegoat, no real scientist or religious person would ever do such a thing.

    I do not want to sound agressive, but:
    -The memory of water is a homopatic practice. Although claimed to work, Science has held that it does not. for some easy info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligned_water_theory
    -The man making fuel from water in china is a known scam. 
    -Chaos theory dictates that very small changes in an initial state can tip a system, so yes: -Theoretically a thought CAN change the universe. The catch is that this change should have no correlation to what this thought actually is. Much as the methaphorical butterfly is not trying to make hurricanes.
    -We know little of the existence of liquid water on other planets. Much of the reason for this is that we can only observe the planets in this solar system because the stars are so bright, they blot out the rest. You can do indirect observation trough gravitational pull, but that tells us nothing of the possible existence of water. Mars may have had liquid water, and the moon Europa is HIGHLY likely to have it. Just not on the surface.
    -If you want to believe: Do the rice experiment at home. But: Have more that 3 glases. Separate them, but treat the couples of 3 in the same way(Thank 1, ignore one and repremand one in each couple.). If you can prove this works, then apply for nobel price.
    -You do not get to blame this on quantum physics! (Not without first understanding said physics)

    I would like nothing better than for the theory of the memory of water to be true. It DOES sound quite magical, and the world would be nicer if it was true. However, science has to deal with all of this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_topics_characterized_as_pseudoscience

    A lot of this has charismatic people behind it, and a LOT of it may really make you want to believe. 
    That, unfortunately, does not make it true.
