Since yesterday's plant sentience thread made for a killer discussion (thanks for the wild energy, crew – loving diving into this stuff with you all), let's roll right into another fringe mind-bender: What if water is conscious? A living medium that stores universal memories and tunes into our thoughts in real time.
Researcher David Sereda unpacked this on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, linking to the documentary Water: The Great Mystery. Core hook: Hydrogen, which is water's backbone, formed post-Big Bang and dominates the cosmos – he calls it the physical echo of the Akashic records, a cosmic archive of everything.
Some quick facts from the claims and experiments:
- Bacteria in water allegedly pick up solar flares the second they erupt (not after light delay).
- Separated water or blood samples sync reactions instantly – like conscious non-local links.
- Echoing Emoto, positive intentions/words/music supposedly create stunning ice crystals; negative ones distort them.
- Sereda adds NASA's "Sun sound" restructures water beautifully.
- Matching the Sun's harmonics to hydrogen could crack stable nuclear fusion—limitless, clean power potential.
- Ties to Genesis, Vedas, "Music of the Spheres," with hints that quantum weirdness might quietly support water as conscious.
Skeptics tear into it pretty hard: Emoto’s crystal photos had zero proper blinding or controls, replications mostly came up empty, there’s no solid explanation for how it would even work, and it feels like a lot of cherry-picking the pretty ones while ignoring the duds. Totally fair pushback – it’s deep fringe for a reason. But these ideas keep haunting consciousness convos and quantum edges, and are begging for more backyard tests.
This was literally the first short pod I did on NotebookLM because I was so fascinated by the subject. It's like 15 minutes. If you're into this topic, definitely check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJVIJDDmibM&t=678sSo,
So, HighStrangeness crew – what’s your gut instinct telling you?
- Have you ever caught yourself talking to your water bottle, plants, or even the ocean and wondered if something’s actually listening?
- Do you think our words or moods could really leave a mark on water – like those Emoto crystals?
- Has anyone here actually tried the home experiment: slapping labels like “love,” & “hate,” on separate containers of boiled rice and seeing which one molds first?
- Or played music/sun sounds near a glass to see what happens? Even if you think it’s total BS, what’s the one thing about this that still makes you go “hmm… maybe”?
Hit me with your honest take on this. Let’s unpack this with one another!
