  1. Re:Water Memory? A joke. on Science vs. Homeopathy · · Score: 1

    >> Jokes and put downs that aren't actually scientific aren't really welcome in response here.

    Umm.. I am sorry. Water memory IS the joke.
    I suggest you put your head in a bucket of it for half an hour and absorb the "vibrations".
    And hopefully any memory of its past life.

    Let me know how it turns out.

  3. Re:Uncontroversial? Hardly. Helloo? Earth to /. on Science vs. Homeopathy · · Score: 0, Troll

    >> 've never been to a practitioner, but I'm honestly not too confident in the concepts. Water memory? I believe that water memory could possibly be true. If you take a volume of pure water and let it approach equilibrium, I assume that the whole mass will oscillate/vibrate/move at some frequency. If you introduce copper atoms(for example) into the water, they probably would have some effect on the water's previous vibrational state, by introducing a vibrational state of its own. Now, remove the copper. Does the water immediately go back to its original state, or does the water retain some of the effects of the copper addition? I don't know, to be honest with you. IANAB(iophysicist). But I would not say that it is impossible. And if water memory has even a bit of truth to it, then I'd believe that homeopathy could also have a bit of truth though. But we currently have no good proof of either.

    Hmmnn... You are a woman, no?
    Did some MAN tell you about those copper vibrators... umm, vibrations?

    Tell ya what: YOU remove the copper. And tell me how you did it.
    BTW, how did you do in High school chemistry? Did you pass?
