This experiment is a perfect proof of How easily you can manipulate the masses eventhough they know the fact. In the experiment which is done in 1980's ignorance leads people to make a choice about false information.
Explanation
Well "Water is Dangerous" experiment was a simple one done by an American Highschool student named Nathan Zohner. Basicly he wanted to ban Dihidrojen Monoxide known as water in the public. Even a website opened for the cause and they listed the harms of the water to the people.

Well there is also a change.org champaign to ban this really dangerous material. Eventhough the accusations were really absurd the data gathered from this experiment is really shocking for me.
The Result
Before I show you the results I want to mention some harms of the water
May cause intense sweating and vomiting.
It is the main element of acid rain that causes great damage to nature.
Gaseous state can cause some serious burns.
Accidental inhalation causes lungs to die, leading to death.
It causes Erosion
It reduces the affectiveness of car breakes
It found in all of the deadly cancer tumors
Well in only 1 hour 50 science fair enthusiast checked the stand about Dihydrogen Monoxide 43 person supported the ban request of water and 6 peeople were undecided about the topic. However there was only 1 guy saying that Hydrogen Monoxide is the artery of life and it is water.
Well obviously this young guy was succesfull and he wanted to demonstrate how people could be wrongly conditioned by simple, divergent, ridiculous scientific phrases.
Manipulating Pshychology of Societies
Well even though the main purpose of the experiment was the fool people with scientific phrases I strongly beleive that there is more behind this experiment. Social psychology or mass subconscious is a configurable concept, just like individual psychology. The shaping of the social mood and subconscious, as in human psychology, is built by the influence of various environmental factors and personal characteristics.
Well solving the psychological infrastructure of the society and finding its perceptual weaknesses and massive characteristics and Exploration of the emotional boundries and the peak points of the societies is definelty a key factor in controlling the masses.
There used to be a lot of unethical experiments about social studies and pshycology but I strongly beleive that there is still some going on behind the hidden doors.
