Understanding the Standard Model

blown away by the beatles in MONO

archwaykitten says...

Stereo songs can easily be converted into mono songs, either through software or by using special headphones made for hearing impaired people. The only reason to buy the mono box would be because you're the type of audio geek who likes to hear slightly different recordings of the same songs. And that's cool. All music fans can appreciate subtle differences between performances of their favorite songs. But if this video's title had read "blown away by slightly different Beatles recording" it wouldn't have gotten any upvotes.

Ben Goldacre explains the problem with homeopathy

archwaykitten says...

The hyperbole used here is absurd. Even if they started with only one molecule of their homeopathic substance (and they start with much more than that), they would literally need a sphere of water the size of the distance from the earth to the sun in order to achieve the dilution that this guy claims. The amount of water actually used is shown right there in the beakers on the screen. Ignore the numbers.

EDIT: I was wrong. I thought about it some more, and I understand what's going on now. His math may well be right.
