The light from the Sun has to be diluted first by traveling to Saturn and then back to Earth. The sun light you get is massively diluted and so of course is a much more effective cure! - Pacal Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:47:33 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11991 Noooo! Thats diluted sunlight! So much better. You get a deeper tan from light refleced from Uranus... Sory, couldn't resist. - Dooyoowoowoo Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:13:16 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11986 Everyone here has missed one other key failing of this "proving." There is NO LIGHT from Saturn (or the Moon or any other planet)! All light coming "from" a planet is actually light from the Sun that is reflected back to the viewer. So, the light "from" Saturn is actually "old" sunlight in that the light travelled approximately 832 million miles from the Sun to Saturn and then another 740 million miles coming back from Saturn to Earth. Would it not be quicker to just stare at the Sun and get the light "fresh" and first hand? - DKrap Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:42:11 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11984 First post... Sorry, but sometimes reading stuff like this (@ www.interhomeopathy.org) just makes me depressed. Sure, sometimes I find it funny. But other times I feel like I'm (we're) fighting a losing battle, and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief. I find myself shaking my head a lot. - malaka Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:23:30 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11983 The image is Saturn at the top of the homeopathy article is amazing. Here is a better link to this image and it's explaination: [url]http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090111.html[/url] The irony here of course is that the image shows only sunlight. Saturn doesn't have light - not in this image nor in any telescopic image. Planets (in our solar system) only reflect sunlight. So their "remedy" isn't a useless Saturn Homeopathy Remedy, it's a useless Sunlight Homeopathy Remedy. - Throckmorton Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:55:40 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11981 Forgot to add, they declared the beer "strong stuff" ;D - Dooyoowoowoo Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:45:26 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11980 Mitchell and Webb were the comedy duo. At the end of the sketch they drank homeopathic beer i.e. water! - Dooyoowoowoo Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:44:12 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11970 Why bother with the telescope? Shouldn't exposure to Saturn without the telescope be far more potent? The conclusion reminds me of an act by these comedians in the UK - I can never remember their names - but they were playing homeopaths and they were treating a victim of a vehicular accident. The cure was to find out what model car hit the victim, add water ... - MadScientist Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:14:13 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11966 I'm waiting for forms to transfer to another species. - Alan3354 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:11:58 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11965 These woo's should work smarter not harder. Why go through the trouble of setting up a telescope and then diluting the sample when they can just take the sample outside on a clear night while Saturn is in view and leave it for a while. The few photons of light that will strike there sample should create a pre diluted "remedy". And they get the bonus of a few other planets and stars while the are at it. Expose, stir, and serve! Too easy. Just remove it before the sun rises as you dont want to super saturate the "preperation". :D - pgrissom76 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:09:54 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11964 Back in 1999 thereabouts, I was a student in at a CT ND program [which I left]. Anyway, I remember one instructor who diagnosed patients with a pendulum, and was so paranoid of computer monitors that she instructed students on how to make a homeopathic remedy of 'computer monitor' for protection. I was a similar method: expose the material for the remedy to the source, then shake and dilute, shake and dilute. I dislike homeopathy so much I wrote a satire [somewhat profane], "I Shot the Homeopath" [see http://satirizinghomeopathy.blogspot.com/ ]. The round, of course, is a blank. I may use this new proving for another. -r.c. - daijiyobu Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:27:58 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11962 "This article should be required reading for anyone thinking of trying a homeopathic remedy." It should also be required reading for anyone doing a study of psychotic thinking. - GMJ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:45:21 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11960 I was gonna be flip and post WTF :o But I cannot believe how gullible and stupid people are. I truely despair of human kind sometimes. - Stevee Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:58:21 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11958 [url]http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debate/?id=2009-10-14b.412.2[/url] - sorry I didn't realise it would get truncated - eddedmondson Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:45:58 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11957 This variant of idiocy is being discussed in our parliament! http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debate/?id=2009-10-14b.412.2 There's a member of parliament who wants [i]5 million pounds[/i] of taxpayers' money to research this craziness. - eddedmondson Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:44:16 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11955 Oh boy! I followed a link through to a discussion on homeopathic carbon. http://www.interhomeopathy.org/index.php/journal/entry/carbon_the_feeling_of/ Apparently this fool wishes to move Carbon. Number of electrons be dammed, Carbon just doesn't belong as #6 !! What is the point of even looking at a periodic table if you aren't interested in real chemistry? I struggle to understand the motivation of people like this. Either you know what the periodic table means or you don't. It's not something that can be played with. I feel dirty. :'( I blame you Harriet! I would never have read this foolishness without your link. - Mark P Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:33:29 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11954 You just don't get it do you? You start with stupidity, then you dilute it and dilute it and dilute it in noise, until there is absolutely nothing left at all other than noise. And, of course, by homeopathic principles, that makes it a work of absolute genius! You have to give them credit for consistency! ;) - kdv Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:15:48 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/751-trituration-proving-of-the-light-of-saturn.html#comment-11953 Pseudoscience has a way of getting sillier and sillier as its proponents pursue research and "make progress." - emactan Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:12:31 +0100
