Description

"Message from water" is a folktale (or an occult story) which asserts that water exposed to "good" words or music forms regular and beautiful crystal while those exposed to "bad" ones hardly forms crystal. This typical "fakescience" is often misinterpreted as being scientific, and have had widespread influence over elementary education in Japan. We here summarize the current situation around "Message from water", and discuss some related issues on science and fake-science.
