4. Reminds me of a book-title: "The wafer-thin ice of half-knowledge."

So sad, when people use words and don't know what they mean...



Some gems:

"The whole mass of the universe can be collapsed into a volume the size of a bowling-ball."

"When Einstein died, God sent us, in his infinite wisdom, Stephen Hawking."

The oscillating strings from String-Theory have something to do with sound-waves and our ears...

"The body has an infinitesimal amount of mass and what is the remainder? Energy." That would be correct, if she were talking about Quantumchromodynamics, Gluons and See-Quarks.

Energy cannot be destroyed or created. Good. But: "We have changed our energy-state. That's what the definition of disease is."

"To cure disease, we can use light (via E=mc˛), sound (via String-Theory) and homeopathy."

How homeopathy is about creating an energetic substance to change the state of matter...

Homeopathy means, ingesting a remedy (energetic substance) that matches the disease, in order to transform the body's energy system into a previous, better state.

5. This is what, a 30C dilution of fact with bullshit?

Thus making the facts more powerful in their action, you see...

7. Oh, this is horrible.

So many people hear scientific terms intermingled with all this garbage, with the bottom line being some kind of coveted health fix, and are swept away into rapture-like belief.

Snake oil and its many labels.

12. Oh dear lord

That sounded a lot like the reasoning that happens when I get together with my cousin, and ends up with us deciding that the sun must be destroyed at all costs.
