    Pure Solvent
AI Thread Summary
Homeopathic remedies can be distinguished from pure solvents and from one another through advanced analytical techniques like UV–VIS and Raman spectroscopy, according to recent research. This study highlights the significance of water structure in influencing the properties of ultra-dilute solutions, such as aquasols, which may exhibit biological effects. While the findings suggest a potential scientific basis for homeopathic remedies, skepticism remains regarding the validity of the research methods and results, indicating a divide in opinion about the credibility of these claims. The discussion emphasizes the need for further investigation in this emerging area of inorganic materials science.

Homeopathic remedies "can be easily distinguished from the pure solvent"

Most natural waters are probably “ultra dilute”: aquasols. While the composition of such waters is routinely characterized thoroughly with respect to composition, very little attention has been paid to the solid phases which are certainly suspended in most, if not all, such. Our recent work having established the importance of the structure of water on its properties, [[1]; R. Roy, W.A. Tiller, I. Bell, M.R. Hoover; Mater Res Innov. 9 (2005) 577.] we have examined the structures of many waters with easily demonstrated (e.g. silver aquasols) or long-claimed (e.g. homeopathic remedies) biological effects. The results show that such materials can be easily distinguished from the pure solvent , and from each other, by the use of UV–VIS and Raman spectroscopy, while FTIR is insensitive to these differences. This opens up a whole new field of endeavor for inorganic materials scientists interested in biological effects.

Hmmm, what's everyone's take on this?

Probably crackpottery, but without seeing what they actually did, it is tough to know for sure.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
