I know resonance can produce shapes.
One thing is for sure, at least in my mind, is that hexagon shape at the north pole of Saturn can’t be a natural occurance.

I'm sorry if you don't trust Dr. Emoto's research. I do.

In fact, if you were to look in my frig right now, you will see that I keep a gallon jar of water, of milk, of unfiltered apple cider; all with the words Love & Gratitude taped to the outside of these containers with the words facing inwards. When I make ice cubes, I use this water. It is fascinating the crystals structures that form in, and on top of these ice cubes. In three years, since I've been doing this, I have not gotten so much as a head cold.

Emoto litterally has thousands of before and after photos that substantiate his research.
He is respected for his work around the world. And his experiments, with the right equipment can, and have been duplicated. I suggest you spend a little time doing your own research.
Peace
Emoto graduated from Yokohama Municipal University with courses in International Relations, and in 1992 he received certification as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine from The Open International University for Alternative Medicine in India, an unaccredited institute with minimal academic requirements. [1]
Even sympathetic commentators have criticized Emoto for insufficient experimental controls,[4] and for not sharing enough details of his approach with the scientific community. [5] In addition, Emoto has been criticized for designing his experiments in ways that leave them open to human error influencing his findings. [6]
In the day-to-day work of his group, the creativity of the photographers rather than the rigor of the experiment is an explicit policy of Emoto.[7] Emoto freely acknowledges that he is not a scientist,[8] and that photographers are instructed to select the most pleasing photographs.[9] Emoto says that he selects the photos that he wishes for consistency[citation needed]. This is an explicit admission of observer bias.
James Randi, founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation, has publicly offered Emoto one million dollars if his results can be reproduced in a double-blind study.[10] Randi has also stated that he does not expect to ever have to pay the million dollars.

So my point is this: all this talk about how sound can't travel through space is irrelevant, when the shape of letters taped to the side of a water container can create such a miraculous change in the crystaline structure of water. Which means that the water recognizes the shape of the letters, and the subsequent vibration those letters exude - no sound, vibrations.

Hmm. If I write a word on a piece of paper, two things happen, frist the paper is changed by the tip of the pen pressing down upon it, creating a patern, and compressing the the molocules. And second, the ink from the pen leaves a trace in the same pattern. On a sub-atomic level, the protons, neutrons, and electrons of both the paper, and the ink molecules, vibrate in the shape of the words I have written, like a neon light.

The water responds on two levels. First it understands the vibratory ringing of the shape, and then begins to respond by reorganizing it's molecular structure accordingly. Second, as a living entity, it understands the Intent of the word.

I know this, because the water in me, told me so. LOL!!!

Sorry, but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. On a sub-atomic level, electrons are are in motion. Motion in this material world creates vibration. Period, the end! I stand by everything I said previously.

What? Okay, I'll try and spoon-feed it to you, without the assumption that you've passed high school.
Do you even know what resonance is?
a. the state of a system in which an abnormally large vibration is produced in response to an external stimulus, occurring when the frequency of the stimulus is the same, or nearly the same, as the natural vibration frequency of the system.
b. the vibration produced in such a state.
c. a hadron with a very short lifetime, of the order of 10−23 sec.
We're talking about a.
RESONANCE IS CAUSED BY SOUND WAVES. DRAWING ON A PIECE OF PAPER WILL NOT CAUSE WATER TO RESONATE.
You know how when you draw a snowman, it isn't actually a snowman? Same concept. That's because the snowman is only color, and not real. A word drawn on a piece of paper will not cause the same sound that is created when the word is spoken.
Do you understand now?
The fact is that these photos are not of water molecules and convey no information about the water. They are most likely the work of the showman, water-mystic and father of cluster-lore "Doctor" Masuro Emoto .
Many of the photos are quite nice, but the shapes of ice crystals are highly dependent on the conditions and rates of freezing, so Emoto's fanciful interpretations have no scientific validity.
Lebbrecht’s morphology diagram below illustrates that ice crystal shape is a factor of both humidity and temperature. Temperature is the most important factor, and plates tend to form in the 0°C to -3°C and -10°C to -22°C ranges (red), while columns tend to form from -3°C to -10°C and below -22°C (green). Lower humidity tends to form simpler crystal shapes, while higher humidity tends to form more intricate crystals. It is currently not known why ice crystals form different shapes at different temperatures, as the physics of how the water molecules bond to a growing ice crystal are very complex and not well understood (Libbrecht).
Emoto’s procedure, while simple and direct, does not eliminate numerous possible sources of error. Ice crystal structural formation is dependent on numerous environmental factors, the most important of which are temperature and humidity. While Emoto minimized some possible sources of error by conducting his studies in the same room with the same sample sizes, the same freezer and same microscope each time, other possible sources of error were not addressed. For example the Petri dishes were not sealed to prevent contamination or disturbance by the operator or environment; A simple thing such as the photographer’s breath while using the microscope could affect the warming rate of the frozen sample and temperature of crystal formation, thus affecting the structure of the resultant crystal.
As Dr. Emoto has not published the entirety of his photographs, it is unknown if he ruled out or ignored crystals that did not support his hypothesis. HMW and the JACM article only contain selected photos that support his claims, and we are left to wonder what the rest of the pictures look like. His procedures state that in any given test he will photograph 100 petri dish samples, yet only one picture per test is provided to the public. Emoto also fails to publish any findings that contradict his claim (or that were at least inconclusive). No errors are currently published in the JACM article, his websites, or his HMW book that my research has been able to uncover.
It is also worth noting that Dr. Emoto’s procedures indicate that his samples are frozen at -25°C, and his ice crystals are formed at -5°C. According to Figure 3, these temperatures should produce mostly column crystals rather than plate crystals, yet not one of Emoto’s published photos show a column crystal. This makes Dr. Emoto’s data suspect (as they appear to conflict with the findings of well-respected researcher) and indicates the possibility that Emoto excluded non-supportive data from his publications.
