Highly unlikely premise. No comment given in the book regarding the actual percentage of crystals sampled. Given the potential for thousands of crystals in a drop of water, how many of these were actually perfectly symmetric when some new-ager meditated over them?We don't know, because "Dr." Emoto doesn't mention it in his book.I bet the guy's having a good laugh at the gullible public... as they say, no one's ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the public.Dr. Emoto per his own website achived his doctorate from the Open International university, which appears to be a correspondence course.I give 2 stars (despite my high level of suspicion of charlatanism) for the pretty pictures and in a sense, I admire anyone who preys upon New-Agers.
