I'm thinking of setting up a business to sell "Concentrated Water". This is made by a special process of heating ordinary water and removing the excess and unwanted steam to create a much concentrated and powerful form of water, which I call Concentrated Water (not to be confused with consecrated water). This new concentrated form of water is 20x smaller, 20x lighter to carry but also 20x more refreshing, and yet it only costs 10x more!
Sadly I have you beat. I am in the process of selling dehydrated water. It's better than your product as it is way smaller (nothing there) and weighs nothing. All you have to do is add water...
There is a situation in which the water in your body will achieve that stable hexagonal structure. I haven't had it happen to me but I'm told it hurts quite a bit, and the rehabilitation can take months. Sometimes the resulting damage to nervous and muscular tissue results in permanent disability. Frostbite. I mean frostbite.
"Structured water is more energetic." Wow, that is EXACTLY backwards. Structured water (i.e. ice) is structured because the molecules don't have enough energy to break out of those structures. That's why adding energy (i.e. heat) to it causes it to melt into liquid water. This is basic, basic chemistry.
People don’t understand thermodynamics and by extension physics so we shouldn’t be surprised. They read a layman article and think they are an expert. Dunning Krueger if I’ve ever seen
@@tonyhakston536 it’s…autocorrect. I’m literally one letter off and d and r are right next to each other on the keyboard. You don’t need to correct me like I’ve never seen it before.
Structured water has completely changed my life. Previously, when I was blind, I’d drink from bottles with laughably small “structures,” and was frequently dehydrated. While I’m not up to the hexagonal challenge yet, I did move from cylindrical bottles to more of a rounded square shape, which holds a lot more water. Less dehydration! Patiently waiting for the “industry” to stop keeping us down and roll out the tetrahedronal bottles. Immortality practically a given at that point.
@@ari3903 It is possible. This depends on pressure level surrounding ice - the higher pressure the higher temperature cap for water to start liquidising. That's why we can spot hot ice on certain planets - they weight more than Earth therefore gravitational force is stronger there and it presses on water harder than here
Honestly, the entire "water has memory" thing seems to operate on the "Law of Contagion", which is literally a law of magic from fantasy books. It literally IS magic that they're talking about.
@@necromancer803 what is interesting is that most substances do the opposite (increasing pressure at a constant temperature causing them to solidify then vaporize)
Are you sure it "energizes" the water? It is not hexagonal. My machine , which I think it is bigger than yours, "hexagonalizes" water. Other people call it a freezer, but do not listen to them. lol ;)
Yes EXACTLY. In order for water molecules to arrange themselves in that hexagonal structure (ice), they have to slow down their random motion relative to each other, which then allows the hydrogen bonds to take over and form that open hexagonal lattice structure we know as good ole' ICE
@@skipfred If crystals are actually "life" as Spirit Science says, then I'd better pack up my pocket pitchfork in case I come across someone chewing ice again
"Structured water" really is in a higher energy state at room temperature, but that just means it is inherently unstable. This is why ice spontaneously melts at room temperature, it is higher energy and therefore less stable than liquid water. The extra energy contained in the structure is dissipated as heat, as Dave said.
@@aredclwon Ice has lower kinetic energy. You are conflating entropy with energy. As the ice melts, the atmosphere loses energy and the ice gains energy. The thing with the energy here is obviously the atmosphere itself, if the ice were floating out in space it would never melt. It's no coincidence that things like neutron stars, some of the most homogeneous things in the universe, are neatly arranged at the atomic level. It is true that things at high energy states want to fall to lower energy states, but to suggest that the thermal mass of an ice cube can will the atmosphere in any meaningful way is ridiculous
Self proclaimed experts: "Stagnant water full of death and decay". Meanwhile stagnant water: *being full of bacteria, algae and other living organisms*
I love science not only because it explains what I see, but because it allows me to ask bigger and bigger questions every time I seek answers. So much of my curiosity stems from what scientific knowledge I have. I can't imagine not having that base from which I wonder. I don't know why anyone would subscribe to a lie when real science is so much more magical, and so much more beautiful.
I really enjoy listening to debunkers debunk... but something about the way YOU do it, Professor Dave, not sure if it's your eloquent snarkiness, pandering sarcasm, fluent vocabulary, or unapologetic glibness, that makes your eviscerations so satisfying, but I LOVE IT! LOL
Thank you Professor Dave. I now know that I've been increasing my life force for years by eating structured water and can safely ignore all those quack doctors who said I had a terrible case of "chronic pagophagia."
@@themadwarden6603 Pagophagia is the compulsive chewing of ice. Chronic means that the condition is persistent. So it basically means an addiction to chewing ice.

I have to admit that I bought into structured water when I was younger. I used to pay a couple of bucks per glass. However it really only gave me hangovers and make me dance like an idiot and say stupid things after consuming larger amounts. The whisky that held the structured water in suspension did not create vortices of positively charged hexagons of magic however during the third or fourth glass during my younger years did start to morph people around me into much better looking people whom I loved so very much, no really, i really loved them all, seriously! 😁
You are more correct than you realize (the debunker dude is really quite wrong, laughably wrong). Hard liquor and good wine are structured liquids. So is milk, Jello and pudding.
@@jenniferdepew8662 milk is an emulsion of water, protein, and oil. Alcohol is not water, and floats on top just like oil... Mixing something up doesn't give it structure! Water literally cannot polymerize
I'm a retired fence builder and during the hot summer days I would add some nacl to my water. It worked wonders, much better than gatorade for relieving cramped muscles. And I know whereof of which I speak for I have a PHD.....I keep it in a little room inside my garage (Post Hole Digger).
It’s shown that all living being in contact of Dihydrogen monoxide had a 100 percent mortality rate. Research has shown it can lead to a choking affect worst case scenario suffocation. I also have a PHD (A pretty huge Duck) many took pleasure with it. Don’t get in contact with Dihydrogen Monoxide without proper training and information and under the supervision of a lifeguard. Whoever consumes it have a 100% mortality rate with no cure.
Mildly salted water can restore your electrolytes which helps fight dehydration, especially when you sweat a lot and expel salts. Don't add more than a tsp to 1 liter though, and do not drink frequently.
drinking salt water in larger doses and frequently can be very bad for your health mate. high blood pressure, kidney problems so i wouldnt recommend it. Thats why we dont drink Sea water coz you know its toxic for humans...
@@rantrakkanto1029 Are you nuts? You can't compare bottled water with a little bit of table salt in it to sea water. That's like saying we can't have pet cats because lions or tigers will kill you.
@@rantrakkanto1029 This is off my head, but I don't believe that water with added table salt is gonna be nearly as harmful as ocean water. Ocean water can have a lot of much nastier stuff in it for the human body. Plus, if I recall correctly, the salt most prevalent in the ocean is not the same as table salt (the latter usually being iodized sodium chloride, which often unhelpfully simplify to just "salt") Also, to clarify, ingesting a lot of table salt is not good for you either, but for different reasons to seawater.
My aunt tried to get me into the whole water memory thing, while also talking about a conspiracy theory concerning the spear of destiny. Fortunately she was terribly bad at explaining what she meant so I just ignored it, despite being in a vulnerable situation at the time
Thank you very much. I'm so happy you address the lies that "Dr." Masaru Emoto tells. My parents have his book and have read it. And then told all of those lies to my entire family. This happened when I was still in kindergarten. So I was scared to say something that has a negative meaning and I didn't think they were wrong. Now I have something I need to show to my parents. I love these videos!
" As soon as you change the molecular structure of water it is no longer water" was such a ridiculously simple debunk of ALL the snake oil sales out there that it made me spit out a bit of my tap water coffee. Thanks for the good laugh.
There are people who still believe naturally made chemicals are better than their synthetic version...oh wait, even the word "chemicals" itself could give heart attack to some of those folks. BTW would you like some structured water to energise your coffee?
I've talked about the bullshit my stepdad believes on your videos before, but he and my mom were so incredibly taken by structured water. And he's got a little light-up circuit board with a resin disc with petals in it on top. 200 some odd dollars and apparently you can program the water with things like nutrients all the way to different medications. These people have to be stopped.
Honestly, all the pseudoscience stuff aside, if those coasters would actually produce mini vortices in my drinks, I would pay good money just for the fun gimmick. Even though it would regularly cause a mess with drinks already filled to the top of the glass But on a more serious note: Yes, pseudoscientific scams that extort money from gullible people are truly some scummy shit

I've been watching your videos for the past four years, along with other educational sources on RUclips, throughout my college journey. I graduated with a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, and I want to thank you because I don't think I could have done it without your educational content. However, I just recently discovered your debunk videos on your Debunks/Discussions/Debates playlist. I've been binge-watching them and have truly enjoyed them. They've made me rethink many beliefs I had regarding pseudoscience. I have to admit that I believed in many of the topics you debunked, like Quantum Mysticism, Billy Carson, and claims about water. Your videos have made me question those beliefs. I believe what you're doing with these debunk videos is critical, especially in today's internet age where misinformation is spreading like never before. Many people lack basic scientific knowledge and will believe whatever is presented to them. Keep up the great content! I'm looking forward to more of your debunk videos and especially hope you address Dr. Eric Berg and Sadhguru in the future, as you mentioned in your debunk videos about water. They have a large audience, and it now scares me how much pseudoscience they're spreading. Even I have fallen victim to their misinformation.
Question?, have you done any research about water yourself? Deff something amiss with some of these people you mentioned, but water. I know bottled water is shyt compared to food clean well water. Have not done testing but I do intend to do some research on my own this winter. Can’t wait to watch more videos on this channel to get some other on-site in this stuff… they pushing it hard and no one is deadz… something wrong For sure
I would be so stoked if you did a debunk of sadhguru I can't even. I stumbled upon him on youtube because I watch a lot of yoga here. Watched a couple of his videos. In the beggining I thought he made some sense... Not for long tho. I actually hope for more scientific studies on benefits of yoga that would isolate what parts of it are actually beneficial (medicaly an psychologicaly) and not gibberish. Hope I can do some one day as I study psychology. (sorry for bad spelling, my first language is Polish)
I know that guy. Damn I even used to think he made sense till he said bunch of shit that was clearly stupid lol. As an indian, I would suggest you please whenever you listen to these gurus and baba and yogis... Be skeptical about every word they utter. Fact check it, especially the science claims.
@@rimjhimchakraborty9365 Nice to see a Indian giving critique to sadhguru the guy is making millions books subscribers you name it and alot of people just buy it and don't debunk it i smell some peusdo stuff also from Wim Hoff the Iceman I see a new trend comming now from the new age infinite consciousness they say we are infinite consciousness and they say things like opening your chakras my god this sounds so nonsense

I don’t know. When I add structured water to a brewed concoction of non structured dihydrogen monoxide, camellias sinensis and crystallized extract of saccharum officinarum, it tends to magically make me feel more comfortable on hot days and seems to reduce my body’s need for hydration.
True, but be careful, as sometimes when large quantities of structured water form inside your arterial bloodstream they cut blood flow to extremities and cause cells in said limbs to either without their nutrients from the now-structured blood cells
Professor Dave is the only RUclipsr that I will learn actual science from. Edit: yall its sarcastic, there’s other youtubers that teach good science i watch
Try Action Lab for some interesting science videos with a more experimental vibe. Electroboom does something similar with electrical concepts. World Of Antiquity is a great source for interesting ancient history!
@@benmanuel3502 Action lab is gimmicky. There's no real scientific thought there. Dave here has entire playlists of introductory videos on many science subjects.
As a chemical engineer, I would be VERY interested in being able to separate H2 and O2 just by spinning because that would make the current hydrolysis process useless 🤣🤣🤣 I think I gave myself a concussion with the facepalm 🤣🤣🤣
This video series truly displays how important it is to be scientifically literate, whether or not it effects your profession. 99% of what these people say is either obvious bullshit or literally meaningless.
My favorite part was when Dave said that spinning water in a vortex is not going to do the same thing as electrolysis and split the hydrogen from the oxygen. That made me laugh because boat propellers would be making flammable hydrogen in the water all over the place lol. There response of course would be “no you don’t get it, there has to be a SPECIAL vortex for it to work.” To borrow a catch phrase from Doctor Evil - Riiiiigghht…
I respect anyone that can debunk crap like this calmly and without cursing. I would be 3 minutes into the video like "LISTEN TO THIS STUPID MOTHERFU..."
See I don’t see any issue in swearing… like words aren’t bad… it’s how they’re used that make them that way. But with that said… shouting what you stated may not be the most appropriate 😂 hilarious though
Thank heavens for channels like yours. I am a physician who is completely fed up dealing with anti-vaxers and conspiracy theorists. 100 years ago our life expectancy was about 46 years, and child mortality today is 2-5% of what it was then. None of that was achieved by internet researchers, but by real research, controlled double blind trials, publication, and peer review. Throw in a measure of respect for expertise. I will happily buy copies of your book, they will make ideal christmas presents for certain friends and family.
Total agreement, IMHO part of the problem is we have a real issue of many younger people these days having no concept of "relevance". Am constantly confronted by people who genuinely believe that out and out speculation, with no supporting evidence equates to the same level of predictive power as established science. A little bit of epistemology in schools would probably help too, people need to understand "how do i know, what i think i know" is functional nudge towards critical thinking.
If I may, I can explain why this happens, and the answer is political, not scientific. People are ignorant of science for the most part, so are reliant on gatekeepers of knowledge for their enlightenment. In the old days, people used to read a science journalist, believe them, or hear what their doctor is telling them, and trust and believe in them too. These days, that trust in expertise has been so abused by those in the role of gatekeeper that it has eroded completely. (I'm looking at journalism, here, not science or medicine!) People can tell now that the media is lying to them constantly. Not about everything, but about enough to erode the audience's trust. Expert talking heads are trotted out to lend weight to whatever that particular channel's agenda is, people who are nominally scientists or doctors, thus trust in those people is broken too by proxy. People can't tell what is true, and what is wrong, or false, so this creates a knowledge _and_ a trust vacuum. The people watching don't know about controlled double-blind trials, peer review, or difference between a cohort study and a meta-analysis. To them science is an arcane practice by nerdy people using long words, who seem to be in cahoots with the other gatekeepers who are clearly misleading them on the regular. They don't know how to read a scientific paper, or know that if something is on a pre-print server it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet (these are often the only texts you can read in full for free). Add to this climate of mistrust a pandemic of dubious origin that has sent the ruling class of the world mad with power, with ever more stringent limits on our freedoms in the name of "The Science" that keeps giving contradictory answers. Don't wear masks, they don't do anything, then six months later, you must wear a mask or YOU cannot do anything! Democrats saying they'd never take any vaccine made under Trump, then when they are in power, they try to mandate that same vaccine as a condition of employment. These contradictions are rarely explained, you are just expected to comply, and are lambasted as an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist if you question what's going on. People may be ignorant of the scientific method, and medicine, but they are not stupid. They can tell when they are being taken for a ride, but they do not have the privilege of a medical education like yourself, so of course they are going to turn to dodgy Facebook groups and stuff for their knowledge, because they don't know how to parse good information from bad the way you or I do. Now dodgy politicians are saying they _must_ be injected with something they don't understand - well, can you blame them for being reticent? I think experts, such as yourself, forget what ignorance is like. These people probably don't know about the last 100 years of miraculous innovations in medicine and science, we have normalcy bias for the world we find ourselves in. I'm afraid it's your job to gently educate these people, but also to understand why they believe the things they do.
@@RoganGunn that’s right. Public trust has eroded in the institutions that are supposed to be trustworthy. A lot of that is due to politically motivated disinformation campaigns. Some of it, however, is due to the institutions themselves including medicine and academia. I mean, the opioid crisis is a huge example of how modern medicine failed the general public.
i feel like imma throw up by the pseudo science zone for more than an hour. i can't imagine how you feel after dealing with conspiracy theorists while having a genuine understanding of science
"Stagnant water is filled with death and decay, and also life, like bugs. That's not a self contradictory statement at all." That had me dying, I replayed that like 20 times.
yay water memory :) I met a guy who believed it and considered himself scientific minded, but also wasn't following the science at all (think scientific papers = sketchy documentary to him). And "if I'm wrong I'll be glad to be told" but don't believe any evidence given to him. You can't win and that's because people are entitled to believe whatever they want (and be criticized for it!)
Ah, the 'if I'm wrong I'll be glad to be told' / change my mind / etc... These seem worse than the mere gullible. They claim to be so 'open-minded' and all that, but when given any evidence or reasoning that disputes their position, "Well I'm not so sure, that's just what 'they' want you to believe." They're only 'open-minded' so long as your data agrees with their pre-concieved ideas.
Wait, reading multiple peer reviewed research papers on a specific subject (which only actually helps if you understand all the words only really ever used in academic settings) isn't the same a watching a layperson explain their theories on a blurry webcam on RUclips?
@@mikedrop4421 of course not and it will never be so but for these guys it’s enough and then Dunning Kruger kicks in. Some people like over simplified explanations for really really difficult fields of science and then have the hybris to talk about it.
A yes, the five dimensions. Height, width, depth, time and water. I swear, I am more creative with my own fictional scribbles than this. At least I put down the fifth dimension as spirit and the sixth as eternity. I mean... water? A dimension? How?
I never thought people actually believe this structured living magic water bullshit, but Dave really knows how to draw the moths to flame, as exemplified by this comment section. Keep debunking this silliness, Professor!
"Brawndo. . . . It's got electrolytes" About the same in the way they pitch their product. Using big science words repeatedly, while misconstruing the science itself to sell their product, idiocracy at its best.
I have gotten extremely tired of all of the special water claims, they are utter nonsense. Great to see you applying the gentle sledgehammer of reason to this house of cards. Well done Sir. TBS
I haven't watched this episode yet, but does the "water memory" segment include a debunking of homeopathy? If not, will you be doing an episode in this "Lies People Tell About Water" series on that topic? EDIT: Having finished watching it, I can verify that Dave uses the clause "...and some claim that it serves as the basis for homeopathic remedies" during the "water memory" portion of this episode, but that's his only reference to homeopathy in this episode. I would've preferred a more direct and less fleeting negation of that particular branch of quackery, but I appreciate what Dave's given us here.
The only people at the Israeli lab where they tried to reproduce the experience (and failed, it only worked when Benveniste assistant was doing it herself) were homeopathic doctors. Others withdrew. And it's ironic, because it's the opposite of homeopathic principle, where you use a substance causing headache and dilute it to remove headache. In the Benveniste and later Montagnier version you recreate the original substance, or at least their original effect, with the water memory. So if it was true homeopathy would make symptoms even worse...
I was just sticking to the properties of water rather than delving into medicine, I hit homeopathy pretty hard in my book. Perhaps it'll make another appearance at some point.
I've been fans of Jeff Holiday and Myles Power for years, but I never found your content until RUclips autorecommended your flat earth debunk, and your Kent Hovind retorts...and my god, I'm in love. Keep doing what you do, professor!
Professor Dave, you have opened my eyes and changed my life. It is silly to think that water which flows in a straight line or water which flows through bends has been degraded. So, from now on, I will only drink water which has flowed through a spiral!
I'd been thinking this whole time "I wonder if I'm also falling for something; like, is Brita also a scam?" so you ending the video by clarifying that filters are a-ok was weirdly comforting, haha
That really shouldn't be enough to settle this issue. If it's something you're concerned about, look up what Brita claims their filters do, and check if there's need for that. The main question should be: What is there in your tap water that you might want to get rid of?
Filters do what you'd think they do, they filter out all the small particulates in the water, not all of it, some things are too small to be filtered. Other filter sometimes put in minerals after the filtration process. But generally speaking filtering water is unnecessary depending on where you live, English NA and western Europe have perfectly fine to drink tap water.

"How could water molecules have memory? Doesn't memory require a brain?" Well, if you take it literally, yes. But the word "memory" can be used for compounds that return to their previous shape after being modified as if they had a "memory". They are called "shape-memory alloys", also known as "memory metal". That being said, water doesn't have that property in any conceivable way.
Every sip of water you take has an H2O molecule in it from the sweat off your parents back from when you were conceived... 🤢 Probably a good thing water doesn't have a memory then! 🤔 (This is real, and is an example of a Fermi Estimation taught by Prof. Lawrence Krauss in a lecture in London a few years ago. You can work it out yourself using Avogadro's number, the mass of a mole of water, a drop of sweat/sip and the mass of all water on Earth!)

I must say, as someone who is strongly religious and has definite mystical tendencies (not this channel's thing, I recognize, just providing context here - and, for the record, I am fully vaccinated, including a flu shot every year and two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which I got as soon as I could based on eligibility criteria), I don't really get the drive some people have to dress up their religious/mystical/magical/whatever concepts in pseudoscientific trappings. Like . . . praying over water to consecrate it is actually a thing *I do* in some contexts, but making claims about how my prayers alter the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules is just . . . why would I do that? All issues of intellectual honesty aside, what would be the point? If you are going to have faith, then *have faith*. And, even more profoundly, why would I then attach quasi-mystical significance to things that have no meaning from a mystical perspective!? "Pray over water before driving it" - sure, this "makes sense" at an emotional or instinctive level whether you think those instincts are actually sounds or not. Likewise for "drink water from sacred springs, not from giant municipal water treatment plants," even if that over has some clearer risks to it, depending on what springs you believe to be sacred and what measures, if any, you take to ensure the safety of the water you gather from them. But "drink water from giant municipal water treatment plants, but only after spinning it around in an overpriced blender, never straight from the tap" - what!? What!? Why? What thought process, rational or otherwise, could possibly lead you to feel that that makes sense!?
Buddy. Believe what you feel like. Because there’s a difference between exercising your right to believe what you need to get through reality like everyone should have the freedom to do, and doing what these people do which is taking advantage of people who didn’t get the opportunity to become educated or take advantage of emotional tugging for the purpose of profit. You’re good bro and I hope you have a nice day 😁
What thought process could possibly lead you to conclude that gods and 'mystical' forces are real? If you can answer that, you've answered your own question about these other false beliefs.
@@Grim_Beard I mean, the whole thrust of my original comment is essentially "the thought processes that lead me to conclude that gods and mystical forces are real do not lead me to believe the sorts of things these people do, and I don't see how they would lead someone else to do so either." But sure, let's break it down a bit further. I don't think that getting into a debate about how to resolve the hard problem of consciousness, or one about the validity of direct mystical experience as a source of evidence for the person in question, is likely to provide any insight into the specific points that I'm raising here. I also rather doubt that most of the people buying this weird shit have had direct mystical experiences involving water vortices. So let's focus on an uncharitable interpretation of why I believe what I do (since I think that's how you'll interpret things anyway), without arguing about whether that interpretation is correct or not. Under such an interpretation, the two obvious explanations are misapplied heuristics -- particularly, but not exclusively, ones pertaining to anthropomorphism -- and believing things because one wants them to be true. And I guess I can sort of see how the latter might apply to the "why dress it up in pseudoscientific explanations" part, if we include "wanting to believe that the things one believes are rational and scientific" among the things that the person in question wants, and either remove or greatly attenuate desires that are more closely connected to concepts like "having faith." It's still weird to me, but maybe it makes a little more sense in that context, or at least kicks the weirdness back to an earlier step in the process. The reliance on heuristics part doesn't apply, but maybe it doesn't have to. But we're still left with the "drinking municipal water is fine, but only if you put it through an expensive blender first" part (and various similar weird "commercialized woo" shit). Like . . . what heuristic is that based on? Or what does someone want to believe that would lead them to believe that as a consequence? Even under an uncharitable, irrationality-assumed interpretation of "why do I and others hold religious and mystical beliefs," I still can't see how to get from the assumed errors in logic to the sort of shit that someone who buys a water vortexer believes.
@@praevasc4299 Religions _do_ make false claims about verifiable facts. For example, the Abrahamic religions all claim that there was a global flood a few thousand years ago, that all species were created in their current forms and at the same time, and that there is such a thing as a 'soul'. Give me an example of a religion that _doesn't_ make false claims about verifiable facts and I'll consider exempting it. Don't suggest any of the 'mainstream' religions, though, because they all do.
@@logitimate Apologies up front - this reply is a bit long, but I want to address several things from your reply. It's interesting that you want to exclude "the validity of direct mystical experience as a source of evidence for the person in question" from consideration. It is a fact that such 'mystical experiences' are _not_valid (or reliable) sources of evidence about reality. Human perception and cognition are fallible, for a start, and we also know that certain neural events (e.g. sub-epileptic micro-seizures in the temporal lobes) can be experienced as 'spiritual'. Hell, we can even _induce_ such experiences using trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. However, you have correctly identified some other reasons why you and they both believe things that are not true. Heuristic thinking is one. That includes having been raised in a social context that provides an explanatory framework that involves gods (in the case of religion) or pseudoscience woo (in the case of magic water). These do, of course, overlap in some cases - for example, the concepts of 'holy' water and baptism / Christening rituals. Wishful thinking is another, as you also correctly identified. You say that you doubt that the magic water people's belief is based on direct experiences. I disagree. They'll have tried it at some point, probably because it sounded convincing to them (due to social context, scientific illiteracy, or whatever other reason) and placebo effects do the rest. They think they feel healthier, for example, so the magic water must be working! Once you've started spending money on this stuff, you then have additional psychological effects - most obviously that you need to protect your ego (in the non-Freudian sense). A lot of people, even if they have some doubts, don't want to feel like, or be seen as, the 'idiot' who wasted hundreds of dollars on fake magic water. Similarly, religious people who have doubts are often very uncomfortable with the feeling that they have wasted years of their lives (and also often a lot of money) on fake gods. There are whole organisations, such as Recovering From Religion, that exist to help people deal with the psychological difficulties of leaving a religion. There are also some very basic heuristics at play, such as the idea that 'if it didn't work, they wouldn't be allowed to sell it' and 'if it didn't work, people wouldn't buy it'. We don't live in a scientific dictatorship, though (and I don't avocate for one) so people _are_ free to buy and sell woo such as magic water. Although there are restrictions in many jurisdictions on the claims that can be made, especially medical claims, outright bans are rare. What is someone without a good scientific education meant to make of a 'magic water' product that is sold in the same way, even in the same place, as legitimate products? If you can buy your 'water vorticizer' from the same shop you can buy a water filter, for example, the non-bullshit product helps the bullshit product seem like it isn't bullshit. Again, there are direct parallels with religion. Religions are prevalent - and privileged - in most societies. The heuristics that 'they wouldn't be allowed to -sell- say it if it wasn't true' and 'so many people wouldn't believe it if it wasn't true' are quite powerful. Also, religion is placed alongside legitimate things - in UK schools, for example, 'daily worship' is a legal requirement, and in most countries that use juries the jurors can swear on a 'holy book' to fulfil their duty. In these examples, religious belief is legitimised by being placed alongside real subjects in school and real evidence in court. Apologies again for the long reply, but I wanted to do your reply justice. TL;DR: As I've shown, there really isn't any difference between religious belief and belief in other false claims such as magic water.
It's really interesting how water molecules travelling through 300ft of straight pipe somehow become less "structured" and "organized" than if it had been been tumbling randomly through creeks, dirt, silt, bug shit and pond scum. Strange how that works. I wonder if these guys also think that the way you're supposed to build a Lego set is by throwing the box against the wall until it puts itself together.
I think this is the first time I've actually been thankful for my little "algorithm bubble" of recommendations. I had no idea how many blatantly false and stupid things were being deflected from me. I respect your sacrifice in watching those terrible videos, your recommends must be sewage. Structured sewage?
Thanks for the videos, Prof. Dave. I liked your stuff as an undergrad (your organic chemistry content is underrated), and now I still love your videos as a medical student. I mean...you effectively dealt a lethal blow to the flat earth "movement." By the way, I watched part of a "Globe Busters" video the other day, and they have become far more cautious in what they say; I was almost convinced they believed gravity exists, they sure weren't trying to refute it anymore. Hell, they were barely even pushing a flat earth narrative at all; it was kind of sad, in an odd way. It has been fascinating to watch their "movement" rise & fall, not merely within a generation, but within a decade (a half-decade, who's kidding who). Peace
If drinking water that has gone through a straight pipe makes it so much better, I'll just drink it through a straw. Oh, wait, it's meant to be a pipe with a lot of turns? BENDY STRAWS FOR EVERYONE
As somebody who has employed various mystical psychological exercises throughout my tenure as both a psychiatric patient as well as a lmhp, I must say that concepts such as Crystal healing, aromatherapy, tarot cards, and moon water are all just various placeboc devices that actually can be very beneficial in the individual seeking treatment as they reframe the inner dialogue, and often times can become appropriate coping and processing mechanisms - whereas before the patient had none.
Thank the FSMonster, you were not surgeon. The paraphernalia had nothing to do with the outcomes because your hopefully "good" intention and skill at manipulating desperate people to feel good paid off for them and you financially. It would be interesting to follow up on those who never returned because they sought proper care or died due to your charlatan behavior.
@@VaughanMcCue My brother in Cthulhu, I understand the sentiment, but you did not understand the original post. OP is not suggesting that mysticism be used in any way as a substitute for physiological medicine. They're describing the use of narrative framing devices in psychotherapy, which are perfectly fine and not under the purview of "alternative medicine" quackery, so long as it's made clear that they aren't alternatives to treatment for medical conditions. What do you think psychotherapy is? It is, quite literally, teaching people to think themselves into healthier mental states without neurochemical intervention, or in conjunction with said intervention through the prescriptions of a psychiatrist. They're actually, quite literally complementary in that they complement genuine medicine rather than supplanting it. Even cognitive behavioral therapy is only different in its approach, but mechanically similar. As a therapist your job is literally to help people feel better by building up healthy coping mechanisms in place of unhealthy ones, and if carrying around a chunk of quartz or using carefully controlled and safe amounts of aromatherapy oils in an infuser is a step toward the patient going to bed without PTSD nightmares, it's an acceptable method. As long as you're also responsibly teaching the patient not to spend all their money with people who insist those methods will cure cancer and give them superpowers. Would you call it exploitative or dishonest for a child to be permitted to carry a security blanket or a favorite teddy bear, or to have a night-light?

“Water has memory! And whilst its memory of a long-lost-drop of onion juice seems infinite, it somehow forgets all of the poo it’s had in it!” - Tim Minchin “Storm”
But your brain is mostly fat... So it's really lipids that have memory, not water. It might be that only nonpolar molecules can have memory, in which case hydrophobic surfaces would be more important than hydrophilic ones! I think I somehow managed to buy into all the crap and still debunk it. That's probably a bad sign.
I'm thinking of setting up a business to sell "Concentrated Water". This is made by a special process of heating ordinary water and removing the excess and unwanted steam to create a much concentrated and powerful form of water, which I call Concentrated Water (not to be confused with consecrated water).
This new concentrated form of water is 20x smaller, 20x lighter to carry but also 20x more refreshing, and yet it only costs 10x more!
Finally, a reputable concentrated water seller, I found out my previous supplier was diluting the water I was selling with un concentrated water!
So you should consider buying my consecrated concentrated water. 20x smaller, 20x lighter, etc but with added god!
I’ll look into it, while traveling the TSA confiscated my consecrated concentrated water
Sounds great! I’ll buy 20x the normal amount! 😆

There is a situation in which the water in your body will achieve that stable hexagonal structure.

"Structured water is more energetic."
Wow, that is EXACTLY backwards. Structured water (i.e. ice) is structured because the molecules don't have enough energy to break out of those structures. That's why adding energy (i.e. heat) to it causes it to melt into liquid water. This is basic, basic chemistry.

Structured water has completely changed my life. Previously, when I was blind, I’d drink from bottles with laughably small “structures,” and was frequently dehydrated. While I’m not up to the hexagonal challenge yet, I did move from cylindrical bottles to more of a rounded square shape, which holds a lot more water. Less dehydration! Patiently waiting for the “industry” to stop keeping us down and roll out the tetrahedronal bottles.

Structured water really is magic. It's ice, that's liquid, but also hot.
@@ari3903 It is possible. This depends on pressure level surrounding ice - the higher pressure the higher temperature cap for water to start liquidising.

If "structured water" is ice, wouldn't it actually have less energy? Fantastic take-down, Professor Dave.
Yes EXACTLY. In order for water molecules to arrange themselves in that hexagonal structure (ice), they have to slow down their random motion relative to each other, which then allows the hydrogen bonds to take over and form that open hexagonal lattice structure we know as good ole' ICE
But.. but.. the crystal energies!
@@skipfred If crystals are actually "life" as Spirit Science says, then I'd better pack up my pocket pitchfork in case I come across someone chewing ice again
"Structured water" really is in a higher energy state at room temperature, but that just means it is inherently unstable.
This is why ice spontaneously melts at room temperature, it is higher energy and therefore less stable than liquid water.
The extra energy contained in the structure is dissipated as heat, as Dave said.
@@aredclwon Ice has lower kinetic energy. You are conflating entropy with energy. As the ice melts, the atmosphere loses energy and the ice gains energy. The thing with the energy here is obviously the atmosphere itself, if the ice were floating out in space it would never melt. It's no coincidence that things like neutron stars, some of the most homogeneous things in the universe, are neatly arranged at the atomic level. It is true that things at high energy states want to fall to lower energy states, but to suggest that the thermal mass of an ice cube can will the atmosphere in any meaningful way is ridiculous

Thank heavens for channels like yours.
I am a physician who is completely fed up dealing with anti-vaxers and conspiracy theorists.
100 years ago our life expectancy was about 46 years, and child mortality today is 2-5% of what it was then.
None of that was achieved by internet researchers, but by real research, controlled double blind trials, publication, and peer review. Throw in a measure of respect for expertise.
I will happily buy copies of your book, they will make ideal christmas presents for certain friends and family.
leave a few of the books in the waiting room.
Total agreement, IMHO part of the problem is we have a real issue of many younger people these days having no concept of "relevance". Am constantly confronted by people who genuinely believe that out and out speculation, with no supporting evidence equates to the same level of predictive power as established science.
A little bit of epistemology in schools would probably help too, people need to understand "how do i know, what i think i know" is functional nudge towards critical thinking.
If I may, I can explain why this happens, and the answer is political, not scientific. People are ignorant of science for the most part, so are reliant on gatekeepers of knowledge for their enlightenment. In the old days, people used to read a science journalist, believe them, or hear what their doctor is telling them, and trust and believe in them too.
These days, that trust in expertise has been so abused by those in the role of gatekeeper that it has eroded completely. (I'm looking at journalism, here, not science or medicine!) People can tell now that the media is lying to them constantly. Not about everything, but about enough to erode the audience's trust. Expert talking heads are trotted out to lend weight to whatever that particular channel's agenda is, people who are nominally scientists or doctors, thus trust in those people is broken too by proxy. People can't tell what is true, and what is wrong, or false, so this creates a knowledge _and_ a trust vacuum.
The people watching don't know about controlled double-blind trials, peer review, or difference between a cohort study and a meta-analysis. To them science is an arcane practice by nerdy people using long words, who seem to be in cahoots with the other gatekeepers who are clearly misleading them on the regular. They don't know how to read a scientific paper, or know that if something is on a pre-print server it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet (these are often the only texts you can read in full for free).
Add to this climate of mistrust a pandemic of dubious origin that has sent the ruling class of the world mad with power, with ever more stringent limits on our freedoms in the name of "The Science" that keeps giving contradictory answers. Don't wear masks, they don't do anything, then six months later, you must wear a mask or YOU cannot do anything! Democrats saying they'd never take any vaccine made under Trump, then when they are in power, they try to mandate that same vaccine as a condition of employment. These contradictions are rarely explained, you are just expected to comply, and are lambasted as an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist if you question what's going on.
People may be ignorant of the scientific method, and medicine, but they are not stupid. They can tell when they are being taken for a ride, but they do not have the privilege of a medical education like yourself, so of course they are going to turn to dodgy Facebook groups and stuff for their knowledge, because they don't know how to parse good information from bad the way you or I do. Now dodgy politicians are saying they _must_ be injected with something they don't understand - well, can you blame them for being reticent?
I think experts, such as yourself, forget what ignorance is like. These people probably don't know about the last 100 years of miraculous innovations in medicine and science, we have normalcy bias for the world we find ourselves in. I'm afraid it's your job to gently educate these people, but also to understand why they believe the things they do.
@@RoganGunn that’s right. Public trust has eroded in the institutions that are supposed to be trustworthy. A lot of that is due to politically motivated disinformation campaigns. Some of it, however, is due to the institutions themselves including medicine and academia. I mean, the opioid crisis is a huge example of how modern medicine failed the general public.

Ah, the 'if I'm wrong I'll be glad to be told' / change my mind / etc... These seem worse than the mere gullible.

They're only 'open-minded' so long as your data agrees with their pre-concieved ideas.

EDIT: Having finished watching it, I can verify that Dave uses the clause "...and some claim that it serves as the basis for homeopathic remedies" during the "water memory" portion of this episode, but that's his only reference to homeopathy in this episode. I would've preferred a more direct and less fleeting negation of that particular branch of quackery, but I appreciate what Dave's given us here.
I think Tim Minchin covered it pretty well. If water has memory, then it also remembers piss and shit.
me too!
The only people at the Israeli lab where they tried to reproduce the experience (and failed, it only worked when Benveniste assistant was doing it herself) were homeopathic doctors. Others withdrew.
And it's ironic, because it's the opposite of homeopathic principle, where you use a substance causing headache and dilute it to remove headache. In the Benveniste and later Montagnier version you recreate the original substance, or at least their original effect, with the water memory. So if it was true homeopathy would make symptoms even worse...
I was just sticking to the properties of water rather than delving into medicine, I hit homeopathy pretty hard in my book. Perhaps it'll make another appearance at some point.

That really shouldn't be enough to settle this issue.
If it's something you're concerned about, look up what Brita claims their filters do, and check if there's need for that. The main question should be: What is there in your tap water that you might want to get rid of?
Taste mostly
Filters do what you'd think they do, they filter out all the small particulates in the water, not all of it, some things are too small to be filtered. Other filter sometimes put in minerals after the filtration process. But generally speaking filtering water is unnecessary depending on where you live, English NA and western Europe have perfectly fine to drink tap water.

I must admit every morning I like to enjoy a glass of scalding hot frozen water. Superionic water just has that texture I crave.
I must say, as someone who is strongly religious and has definite mystical tendencies (not this channel's thing, I recognize, just providing context here - and, for the record, I am fully vaccinated, including a flu shot every year and two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which I got as soon as I could based on eligibility criteria), I don't really get the drive some people have to dress up their religious/mystical/magical/whatever concepts in pseudoscientific trappings. Like . . . praying over water to consecrate it is actually a thing *I do* in some contexts, but making claims about how my prayers alter the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules is just . . . why would I do that? All issues of intellectual honesty aside, what would be the point? If you are going to have faith, then *have faith*.
And, even more profoundly, why would I then attach quasi-mystical significance to things that have no meaning from a mystical perspective!? "Pray over water before driving it" - sure, this "makes sense" at an emotional or instinctive level whether you think those instincts are actually sounds or not. Likewise for "drink water from sacred springs, not from giant municipal water treatment plants," even if that over has some clearer risks to it, depending on what springs you believe to be sacred and what measures, if any, you take to ensure the safety of the water you gather from them. But "drink water from giant municipal water treatment plants, but only after spinning it around in an overpriced blender, never straight from the tap" - what!? What!? Why? What thought process, rational or otherwise, could possibly lead you to feel that that makes sense!?
Buddy. Believe what you feel like. Because there’s a difference between exercising your right to believe what you need to get through reality like everyone should have the freedom to do, and doing what these people do which is taking advantage of people who didn’t get the opportunity to become educated or take advantage of emotional tugging for the purpose of profit.

What thought process could possibly lead you to conclude that gods and 'mystical' forces are real? If you can answer that, you've answered your own question about these other false beliefs.
@@Grim_Beard I mean, the whole thrust of my original comment is essentially "the thought processes that lead me to conclude that gods and mystical forces are real do not lead me to believe the sorts of things these people do, and I don't see how they would lead someone else to do so either." But sure, let's break it down a bit further.
I don't think that getting into a debate about how to resolve the hard problem of consciousness, or one about the validity of direct mystical experience as a source of evidence for the person in question, is likely to provide any insight into the specific points that I'm raising here. I also rather doubt that most of the people buying this weird shit have had direct mystical experiences involving water vortices. So let's focus on an uncharitable interpretation of why I believe what I do (since I think that's how you'll interpret things anyway), without arguing about whether that interpretation is correct or not.
Under such an interpretation, the two obvious explanations are misapplied heuristics -- particularly, but not exclusively, ones pertaining to anthropomorphism -- and believing things because one wants them to be true. And I guess I can sort of see how the latter might apply to the "why dress it up in pseudoscientific explanations" part, if we include "wanting to believe that the things one believes are rational and scientific" among the things that the person in question wants, and either remove or greatly attenuate desires that are more closely connected to concepts like "having faith." It's still weird to me, but maybe it makes a little more sense in that context, or at least kicks the weirdness back to an earlier step in the process. The reliance on heuristics part doesn't apply, but maybe it doesn't have to.
But we're still left with the "drinking municipal water is fine, but only if you put it through an expensive blender first" part (and various similar weird "commercialized woo" shit). Like . . . what heuristic is that based on? Or what does someone want to believe that would lead them to believe that as a consequence? Even under an uncharitable, irrationality-assumed interpretation of "why do I and others hold religious and mystical beliefs," I still can't see how to get from the assumed errors in logic to the sort of shit that someone who buys a water vortexer believes.
@@praevasc4299 Religions _do_ make false claims about verifiable facts.
For example, the Abrahamic religions all claim that there was a global flood a few thousand years ago, that all species were created in their current forms and at the same time, and that there is such a thing as a 'soul'.
Give me an example of a religion that _doesn't_ make false claims about verifiable facts and I'll consider exempting it. Don't suggest any of the 'mainstream' religions, though, because they all do.
@@logitimate Apologies up front - this reply is a bit long, but I want to address several things from your reply.
It's interesting that you want to exclude "the validity of direct mystical experience as a source of evidence for the person in question" from consideration. It is a fact that such 'mystical experiences' are _not_valid (or reliable) sources of evidence about reality. Human perception and cognition are fallible, for a start, and we also know that certain neural events (e.g. sub-epileptic micro-seizures in the temporal lobes) can be experienced as 'spiritual'. Hell, we can even _induce_ such experiences using trans-cranial magnetic stimulation.
However, you have correctly identified some other reasons why you and they both believe things that are not true. Heuristic thinking is one. That includes having been raised in a social context that provides an explanatory framework that involves gods (in the case of religion) or pseudoscience woo (in the case of magic water). These do, of course, overlap in some cases - for example, the concepts of 'holy' water and baptism / Christening rituals. Wishful thinking is another, as you also correctly identified.
You say that you doubt that the magic water people's belief is based on direct experiences. I disagree. They'll have tried it at some point, probably because it sounded convincing to them (due to social context, scientific illiteracy, or whatever other reason) and placebo effects do the rest. They think they feel healthier, for example, so the magic water must be working! Once you've started spending money on this stuff, you then have additional psychological effects - most obviously that you need to protect your ego (in the non-Freudian sense). A lot of people, even if they have some doubts, don't want to feel like, or be seen as, the 'idiot' who wasted hundreds of dollars on fake magic water. Similarly, religious people who have doubts are often very uncomfortable with the feeling that they have wasted years of their lives (and also often a lot of money) on fake gods. There are whole organisations, such as Recovering From Religion, that exist to help people deal with the psychological difficulties of leaving a religion.
There are also some very basic heuristics at play, such as the idea that 'if it didn't work, they wouldn't be allowed to sell it' and 'if it didn't work, people wouldn't buy it'. We don't live in a scientific dictatorship, though (and I don't avocate for one) so people _are_ free to buy and sell woo such as magic water. Although there are restrictions in many jurisdictions on the claims that can be made, especially medical claims, outright bans are rare. What is someone without a good scientific education meant to make of a 'magic water' product that is sold in the same way, even in the same place, as legitimate products? If you can buy your 'water vorticizer' from the same shop you can buy a water filter, for example, the non-bullshit product helps the bullshit product seem like it isn't bullshit.
Again, there are direct parallels with religion. Religions are prevalent - and privileged - in most societies. The heuristics that 'they wouldn't be allowed to -sell- say it if it wasn't true' and 'so many people wouldn't believe it if it wasn't true' are quite powerful. Also, religion is placed alongside legitimate things - in UK schools, for example, 'daily worship' is a legal requirement, and in most countries that use juries the jurors can swear on a 'holy book' to fulfil their duty. In these examples, religious belief is legitimised by being placed alongside real subjects in school and real evidence in court.
Apologies again for the long reply, but I wanted to do your reply justice. TL;DR: As I've shown, there really isn't any difference between religious belief and belief in other false claims such as magic water.
It's really interesting how water molecules travelling through 300ft of straight pipe somehow become less "structured" and "organized" than if it had been been tumbling randomly through creeks, dirt, silt, bug shit and pond scum. Strange how that works. I wonder if these guys also think that the way you're supposed to build a Lego set is by throwing the box against the wall until it puts itself together.

Thanks for the videos, Prof. Dave. I liked your stuff as an undergrad (your organic chemistry content is underrated), and now I still love your videos as a medical student. I mean...you effectively dealt a lethal blow to the flat earth "movement." By the way, I watched part of a "Globe Busters" video the other day, and they have become far more cautious in what they say; I was almost convinced they believed gravity exists, they sure weren't trying to refute it anymore. Hell, they were barely even pushing a flat earth narrative at all; it was kind of sad, in an odd way. It has been fascinating to watch their "movement" rise & fall, not merely within a generation, but within a decade (a half-decade, who's kidding who). Peace
Watching your videos changes my advertisement algorithms to the very products you debunk and it's hilarious.

As somebody who has employed various mystical psychological exercises throughout my tenure as both a psychiatric patient as well as a lmhp, I must say that concepts such as Crystal healing, aromatherapy, tarot cards, and moon water are all just various placeboc devices that actually can be very beneficial in the individual seeking treatment as they reframe the inner dialogue, and often times can become appropriate coping and processing mechanisms - whereas before the patient had none.
Thank the FSMonster, you were not surgeon. The paraphernalia had nothing to do with the outcomes because your hopefully "good" intention and skill at manipulating desperate people to feel good paid off for them and you financially. It would be interesting to follow up on those who never returned because they sought proper care or died due to your charlatan behavior.
@@VaughanMcCue My brother in Cthulhu, I understand the sentiment, but you did not understand the original post.
OP is not suggesting that mysticism be used in any way as a substitute for physiological medicine. They're describing the use of narrative framing devices in psychotherapy, which are perfectly fine and not under the purview of "alternative medicine" quackery, so long as it's made clear that they aren't alternatives to treatment for medical conditions.
What do you think psychotherapy is? It is, quite literally, teaching people to think themselves into healthier mental states without neurochemical intervention, or in conjunction with said intervention through the prescriptions of a psychiatrist. They're actually, quite literally complementary in that they complement genuine medicine rather than supplanting it. Even cognitive behavioral therapy is only different in its approach, but mechanically similar.
As a therapist your job is literally to help people feel better by building up healthy coping mechanisms in place of unhealthy ones, and if carrying around a chunk of quartz or using carefully controlled and safe amounts of aromatherapy oils in an infuser is a step toward the patient going to bed without PTSD nightmares, it's an acceptable method. As long as you're also responsibly teaching the patient not to spend all their money with people who insist those methods will cure cancer and give them superpowers. Would you call it exploitative or dishonest for a child to be permitted to carry a security blanket or a favorite teddy bear, or to have a night-light?

According to science, I’m mostly water. And, I remember stuff, so that means water does have memory! Bam! Nailed it!

But your brain is mostly fat... So it's really lipids that have memory, not water. It might be that only nonpolar molecules can have memory, in which case hydrophobic surfaces would be more important than hydrophilic ones!
I think I somehow managed to buy into all the crap and still debunk it. That's probably a bad sign.
