Water crystal replication study
http://deanradin.blogspot.com/

An experiment tested the hypothesis that water exposed to distant intentions affects the aesthetic rating of ice crystals formed from that water. Over three days, 1,900 people in Austria and Germany focused their intentions towards water samples located inside an electromagnetically shielded room in California. Water samples located near the target water, but unknown to the people providing intentions, acted as "proximal" controls. Other samples located outside the shielded room acted as distant controls.

Ice drops formed from samples of water in the different treatment conditions were photographed by a technician, each image was assessed for aesthetic beauty by over 2,500 independent judges, and the resulting data were analyzed, all by individuals blind with respect to the underlying treatment conditions.

Results suggested that crystal images in the intentionally treated condition were rated as aesthetically more beautiful than proximal control crystals (p = 0.03, one-tailed). This outcome replicates the results of an earlier (double blind) pilot test.

1. electromagnetically shielded
Why? I've always sort of related the power of intention with electro magnetics. Guess not?

2. Guess not!
Wish I knew the answers. There is a book out there--"Science Adventures in Real Magic" by materials physicist Tiller that may have *some* answers, but honestly, the book was all but incomprehensible to me. I guess I could have studied it if I had to, but I'm rarely in a mood to plow through something like that. They used faraday cages in their experiments. One thing I do remember was that they were able to affect things much better if they were on the ground floor. Tiller made a big deal about that.

The thing is-- I haven't found that it makes a difference, really, whether someone is in a building or whatever. Actually, though, we have a two story house but nobody in my family works in a high rise. So it isn't completely tested. What I am thinking is that as long as a person touches the ground within about 24 hours or so, the "treatment" would take. In other words, people move around a lot more than water or whatever the experiments of Tiller used.
