SOWPub Small Business Forums - water crystals picture...hmm

Interesting but definitely skewed.

The reality is that this started out with testing of various colors to purify (or preserve the purity/freshness of) water. The results were, as is well known today, that blue (a certain shade of blue in particular) does, in fact, help to keep water fresh. That is why water pipes are blue...it's to keep the water tasting and smelling fresh and pure. Why would millions of water lines be blue if it didn't work?

Like a lot of 'science' that is misunderstood, myths evolved, pseudo tests and various anomalies that occurred were enhanced to convince the masses and, of course, it was denounced. Since trying to prove the as yet unprovable never works, they had to rely on observable 'facts'. Nothing wrong in that except that, when compared to lab results, they're often found lacking. And so the world keeps spinning it's nonsense while we keep enjoying our fresh water that no one seems to be able to explain. Sigh...

Oh, here's another one for you...minus the water. It has been found that exposing burns to red, even covering them lightly with a red blanket, can help the burn to heal faster and with less scarring. Seems there's more to light spectrum theories than can be explained by science completely.

When are we going to admit that science is an imperfect mechanism at best...and sometimes an absolute liar in reality? There's simply too much contradictory evidence witnessed by scientists and laypersons alike to take science as indisputable fact.
