    Kinetic energy of water molecules after shaking

    When water is vigorously shaken the kinetic energy and, hence, the motion of the molecules increase. Which particular forms of energy do increase : the translational energy (is this the energy associated with the collision and the chaotic random motion of the water molecules ?) or also the...

    Homeopathy and the second law of thermodynamics

    Homeopaths assert that dilution of a medicinal substance in a water -alcohol mixture, followed by forceful shaking (called "succussion") would create a memory of that substance in the solution. Critics argue that shaking of liquid water is unable to create macroscopic order, as this would...
