"Assistant Professor Mark Changizi says that it takes nearly one-tenth of a second for the brain to perceive what the eyes see.

To compensate for such neural delays, he claims, the visual system has developed the ability to generate perceptions of what will occur one-tenth of a second into the future. Changizi says that it is due to this quality of the visual system that when an observer actually perceives something, it is the present rather than what happened one-tenth of a second ago."

Using this hypothesis, Changizi has been able to explain over 50 types of visual illusions because the brain is trying to perceive the future.

Emoto claims that prettier (or uglier) water-crystals can be formed by directing human speech or thoughts on water-droplets before being frozen.

Emoto claims this can be achieved through:

  • Prayer
  • Music
  • Attaching written words to a container of water

The formation of the crystals seems to depend on the positive/negative nature of the words used on the droplets.
