Emoto claimed that water was a "blueprint for our reality" and that emotional "energies" and "vibrations" could change its physical structure. [14] His water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to various words, pictures, or music, then freezing it and examining the ice crystals' aesthetic properties with microscopic photography.

A halo created by light reflecting off of ice crystals in cirrus clouds. This specific halo is called a 46° halo. Ice crystals create optical phenomena like diamond dust and halos in the sky due to light reflecting off of the crystals in a process called scattering. [1] [2] [15] Cirrus clouds and ice fog are made of ice crystals.
The classical Stefan problem aims to describe the evolution of the boundary between two phases of a material undergoing a phase change, for example the melting of a solid, such as ice to water. This is accomplished by solving heat equations in both regions, subject to given boundary and initial conditions. At the interface between the phases ...
As with snowflakes the shape of the tube is controlled by the molecular nature of water. [9] The simplest shape of an ice crystal that reflects its internal structure is a hexagonal prism. The top and bottom faces of the crystal are hexagonal planes called basal planes and the direction that is perpendicular to the basal planes is called the c ...
Ice crystals may form from cooling liquid water below its freezing point, such as ice cubes or a frozen lake. Frost , snowflakes, or small ice crystals suspended in the air ( ice fog ) more often grow from a supersaturated gaseous-solution of water vapor and air, when the temperature of the air drops below its dew point , without passing ...
Chemical clues in zircon crystals suggest the rock in which they formed came into contact with fresh water 4 billion years ago, when Earth was thought to be covered in ocean.
Ice nucleation mechanisms describe four modes that are responsible for the formation of primary ice crystals in the atmosphere. [clarification needed]An ice nucleus, also known as an ice nucleating particle (INP), is a particle which acts as the nucleus for the formation of an ice crystal in the atmosphere.
The supercooled water will already be encouraging the formation of small ice crystals (frazil ice) and the crystals get taken to the bottom of the water body. Ice generally floats, but due to frazil ice's small size relative to current speeds, it has an ineffective buoyancy and can be carried to the bottom very easily.
