(1,629 posts)Back in the late 80's there was some talk that perhaps there was some odd property to the water molecule that it might capture some imprint from other molecules... and perhaps this was how homeopathy worked. It's now called the memory of water theory and much to my surprise... it's still being talked about http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/09/unesco-host-meeting-controversial-memory-water-research
Montagnier considers himself an intellectual heir to the controversial French scientist Jacques Benveniste, who claimed in a 1988 Nature paper that water can retain "memories" of compounds even when diluted at a very high levela claim that caused a sensation in the press and was taken as support of homeopathy by its proponents, but that other scientists weren't able to replicate.
So back then I tried to make a 10x dilution of vodka.
It came as no surprise I didn't get a buzz.
