siftbotsays...Tags for this video have been changed from 'homeopathy, babble, nonsense, star trek, nano chrystalites' to 'homeopathy, babble, nonsense, star trek, nano chrystalites, byactivization, clathrates' - edited by doogle
mrsidsays...This needs something like (*)quality and/or (*)promote. I would also invoke (*)make_sticky_on_frontpage if I could...
gharksays...rofl, good god, this is good
Boise_Libsays...So that's what the definition of disease is--now I know.
MycroftHomlzsays...This is fantastic.
MycroftHomlzsays...Wow... this is really great. The more I watch it, the better is gets. LOL... this guy would be a fantastic science fiction writer.
So, I have to be honest here. Even though the Star Trek stuff is technobabble. I hear some of it and I think... hmmm that sounds plausible.
BicycleRepairMansays...*promote the useless babble!
siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, July 4th, 2010 1:21am PDT - promote requested by original submitter BicycleRepairMan.
spoco2says...Ok, I just have to comment as I watch...
Don't you love it when some completely debunked and bullshit 'science' like this or creationism tries to pretend that real scientists have 'taken an interest in' or are in any way taking seriously their 'science'... please, they don't care about your bullshit.
Holy shit this is brilliant... 'Self Replicating Hydrate Clathrates'... man... that really is worthy of Star Trek. (And I know, well, now anyway, that Clathrates are real, but not in any relation to homeopathy)
And I love how they throw in some real words (electrons, neutrons etc.) so those listening go 'oh, yeah, I've heard about those, so the rest must be real too'... grrr.
Holy shit... she really tried to spout off science and then threw in 'God, in his infinite wisdom'... holy shit these guys are full of it.
And then... WhhhhaaaAAA? The definition of disease is what now? "We have transformed our energy state into something different"... that's a definition of disease is it? riiiight.
Argh, homeopathic 'medicine' is no more radioactive than water... because that's all it is, water and sugar, or water and lactose... it's no more radioactive than that.
So... this video can just get you enraged, because it's full of mumbo jumbo... I do prefer James Randi's presentation on homeopathy, as it eloquently shows what they believe and why it's utter, utter, utter, utter rubbish.
mxxconsays...No, StarTrek is more real.
It has enough technobabble to be possibly real.
Homeopathy is has enough real science to know for sure to be 100% bullshit.
gwiz665says...*talk *quality *blahblah
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by gwiz665.
Skeevesays...dupe: http://videosift.com/video/Count-The-Mistakes-In-This-Homeopathy-Lecture[edit] My bad, had the same thumbnail, similar title and similar comments. I should have watched the video.
laurasays......had my vote at 2:20 onward...the whole "bomb, dog poop, atoms" speach is timeless...

re
Did you watch even the first second of that? That's one of the actual talks that this video uses, but is the talk as compared to this pisstake of said talks.
nanrodsays...OMG OMG OMG What does it mean.
She may have studied physics and chemistry but apparently didn't do well at basic algebra. And she thinks that the c in E=MC*2 is some kind of measure of an amount of light rather than a velocity. I think I need an aspirin.
Fletchsays...Sinusoidal depleneration is a bitch.
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
Makes me itch to watch some Trek TOS.
ryanbennittsays...Woah, did anyone pick up that she's building a homeopathic bomb? Containing actual H2O? You do realise the destructive power of such a dilute solution? If the bomb hits critical mass it could literally drown her neighbour's dog when it goes off. This woman is a homeopathic terrorist, we need to inform authorities.
ponceleonsays...you have a degree in Bologna!

The universe into bowling ball size was actually interesting. Obviously false, but space between particles is a pretty cool concept. Mostly seen in stars. Neutron stars blow my mind.
It's probably not far off, the whole of humanity could fit into the volume of a sugar cube if all empty space was removed, so the universe is going to shrink in similar amounts.

ignoring the fact that it's physically impossible to do, it's also mathesomethingly impossible because you can't collapse electrons like that since electrons don't have a fixed physical boundary. they are more like a moving clump of fog with no exact border.
bamdrewsays...I attended a masters defense in cancer research today, which wasn't too far from this.
Its often more complicated than this video, because people often says the crazy science words once then uses an acronym the rest of the talk.
"For the remainder of my talk I want to focus on clathrin-coated-pit invaginations, or CCPI's. Now, CCIP's have been investigated by a number of labs since blah blah blah..."
ChaosEnginesays...Poor Stephen Hawkings. It's bad enough to have your dragged into this bullshit, but she could at least get it right.
MycroftHomlzsays...Oh Jebus.
Look, they are clearly mixing up so many physics facts and ideas that they are confused. Let's not take them too seriously.
It is true that the energy density of the universe is thought to have been infinite at the time of the universe's conception. Meaning that all the energy was localized to single point in space and then burst out like a huge, well big, bang.
So that is what they are all mixed up about.
Is it impossible to condense all the energy in the universe to a single point? I don't know. It clearly happened, or approximately happened, according to all the experiments on microwave background radiation and a myriad of other experiments.

Argh... you're missing the point. It's not saying you CAN or COULD, it's merely highlighting how much of everything around us is actually empty space, it's a handy concept to get across things. I'm not saying you COULD compress the human race into a sugar cube, I'm saying that for all our 'size', most of us is nothing physical.
This does not in any way validate a word these charlatans are saying re homoeopathy... it's just a statement about the nature of things.
rgroom1says...Since we're on the subject, this page show the supposed scale of an atom, and how insignificant the electron is in size, and yet their electrical forces are equal.

Mi1lersays...Thankfully they solved the issue of side fumbling, that was going to breach the containment matrix if left unaddressed for an extended period of time during the lunar gravitational shift osciallation cycle.
