Mr. Munroe's take on Powers of Ten:

Please, read this

before you think of DooM and Cern being the same word.

And as you can see, you yanks created a black hole in a lab

Nobody died and, of course, NOBODY KNEW!

This video emphasises how ridiculous homeopathy is.
40C is a fairly common level of dilution for a homeopathic remedy. 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!

Wow, this is interesting. 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!

Nice way to prepare for the Black Hole the Cern's Large Hadron Collider will generate in Geneve in a few weeks, when they'll start it up:-)
