Experiment on Beneviste claim RE altering the properties of pure water through EM excitation:
http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/full/20/1/23 While failing to confirm any effects by "informing" water through the application of EM signals, the problem of experimenter effects did make an appearance. I understand that this effect is a prime suspect in the Hutchison effect demonstrations, for instance. Ok then, how about experiments to isolate and duplicate *that* effect while ruling out mistakes and tricks? In the above experiment, the statement was made that the protocols used didn't explicitly rule out alterations to procedures by the single outlying Beneviste group experimenter, but none were seen. The scientific method is about replication by neutral third parties. Nice and all, it got us this far. But aren't we still missing something if real results can be reliably obtained, even if only by certain individuals? Is anyone aware of any project designed to work this angle? - R.
