Have a look at about 2:55 at 10 million, million meters. Take a portion of the active ingredient the size of a grain of rice and place it in a sphere of water the size of the entire solar system. That's actually more concentrated than 40C. The crazy thing is that homeopathy users believe that the more dilute the remedy, the more potent it is! Homeopathic remedies can reach dilutions of up to 1500C. To understand how dilute 1500C is (and I quote from a website: "CRUSH up a piece of rice. Take one GRANULE. Drop it in a sphere of water the size of the solar system... repeat that 2 million times." 1500C must be powerful stuff! This video emphasises how ridiculous homeopathy is.

I just saw this video in science class last Friday. And the video was rather interesting, however the teacher made us write what we saw every ten seconds and we couldn't see the great video. I thank you for putting it up, I finally get to see it! Wow, this is interesting. I just saw this video in science class last Friday.

It's dang good, and really ought to be released in the wild. Find a hi-res copy of it...if you can. It's worth it.
