Subnuclear Particles May Move Faster Than Light. Who Says Homeopathy Can’t Work?

It is, of course, contrary to Einstein’s basic relativity law stating that nothing can move faster than the speed of light.<br> <br> Perhaps we should now call the speed of light a suggestion?<br> <br> This is, of course, fascinating. But what does it say about the basic assumptions of those who cite impossibility as the reason that homeopathy cannot work? Clearly, the nature of reality is not perfectly known—and equally clearly, the presumption that homeopathy doesn’t work because it can’t work is a deluded self-referent argument.<br> <br> That argument is also utterly counter to the true spirit of science. Its purpose is to learn more about the world and universe we inhabit, not to make the arbitrary decision that we know it all, not even the basic facts. We do not. We must trust our senses. When what we see or experience doesn’t match what we expect, then the proper response is not to find excuses for why our impression was wrong. The proper response is to investigate, to find the truth.<br> <br> The Arguments Against Homeopathy<br> <br> After stating that homeopathy doesn’t work because it can’t, the rest of the arguments fall into line. They simply state, ad nauseam, that it has never been proven to work, that research that does show it works never happened or was deeply flawed, that research has shown that it doesn’t work, that its effects can be explained as placebo, that it hasn’t been through the rigors of double blind placebo controlled studies, that it can’t work because there is no active ingredient, and finally, that it can’t work because homeopaths cannot explain how it works.<br> </div>
