Expansion on Idea 2

2. Playing music to crystals: does it make them prettier? Research by Dr. Masaru Emoto shows that music does indeed have and effect on the growth of crystals. However, many details of Dr. Masaru Emoto's experiments are ambiguous. Perhaps I could build experiments around this topic to prove/disprove his hypothesis. 


This idea is originally Joyce's, so if she is doing this particular topic I will not. However, as Chin Ying (my partner) has mentioned in her blog, I am very interested in ice/crystals. For this experiment I will use water crystals, which basically is ice. There are many factors in this experiment, for example:


a. type of water used to form ice
b. type of music played
c. when the music is played
d. duration of music played
e. conditions in which water is frozen


Here is a link to Dr. Masaru Emoto's work: http://www.is-masaru-emoto-for-real.com/
While he has tested on feelings and words affecting the formation of crystals, I will focus on just music. I am unsure whether I should use both classical music and rock music as variables. Perhaps I should limit it to one variable: classical music. But it would be interesting to try two types of music...


Of course, all of this might turn out to be some pseudoscience (as many scientists say), but I think it is worth a try!
