The other day, I was indulging in my hobby of poking homeopathy-advocates with the sciency stick and collecting all the little gems of wrongness that pop out, when all of a sudden something NEW (to me at least) appeared! I was shocked, to say the least.
I was thrown a link to this blog and solemnly informed that this was the final proof that an ultradilute solution (read water, water, water and more water with statistically *no* active ingredient left) retains a memory of its past solutes due to the formation of clathrate structures around molecules of solute.
Quite how a clathrate can form around the absense of a guest molecule isn't explained...sadly
