    Homeopathy and the theory behind it

    Please correct me if Im wrong. This is considered as a truth: 1) The more a substance is diluted in water the more powerful it becomes. Lets assume this is true, even when every trace of molecules of certain chemical compound is lost, its "effectivity" is still there, in fact, magnified...

    Changing the past to fit the current theory better

    (Sorry I'm not posting very much, but I have issues of a personal nature that leave me very little time to post on JREF - I'm sure we'll come back to the things we talked about later) Does anyone know any valid reason why someone would change empirical data in order to improve a significance...

    A new theory on Jesus

    I haven't seen this one in here so I'll post it: :dr: Jesus was not the son of God, he was actually a human form of Loki, the Norse God of chaos, he was a practical joke by Loki to undermine belief in the one true god, Odin. Prove me wrong.

    Big Bang theory has been proven by galactic mapping

    Two groups of astronomers have mapped over 250,000 galaxies, and the results show that the galaxies position is exactly where it would be....if the universe started with a giant explosion - big bang.

    Scientific Method..When does Theory become fact?

    I was wondering this...I thought I would ask here for a straight forawd simple answer without googling it,since google only shows creationist links and nonsense. So when does a Scientific Theory Become a Scientific Fact? I have herd that when it can be observed in a lab. If this is true,Why...

    "Anti-Pangea" Theory?

    This is related to my other posting just now....... apparently Neal Adams has this "anti-pangea" theory, and basically says a lot of what the scientific community says is wrong about all this. I found this site which seems to explain what his ideas are...

    A theory on the value of tarot/astrology

    I'm sure you've all heard this one before, but it's an extension of the popular 'flip a coin and if you're disappointed in the result then you have figured out what you really wanted' technique discussed in another thread, so I thought I'd bring it up again. It goes something like this: 1. A...

    LR Milgrom’s PPR Entanglement Theory Of Homeopathy

    As a long-delayed fulfillment of a promise to Rolfe, this is a review of one of several papers published by LR Milgrom which purport to establish a theoretical “metaphor” for homeopathy in terms of quantum mechanics. This paper is entitled “Patient-practitioner-remedy (PPR) entanglement...

    How do discrete species fit in with evolutionary theory?

    I was reading evolutionary theory, and came across a question I didn't know the answer to, even though it's a common question. If species are evolving constantly, and we originally evolved from the apes, why then are there no species between us and the apes? In other words, why are there no...

    All right, I know a lot of skeptics don't want to touch this stuff, but I think it's a problem that needs to be addressed. I'm not sure if you guys keep up with the conspiracy theories as much as I do, but there's been a hey-day of dissent over the Nick Berg beheading video. I normally just...

    Middle East Conspiracy Theory: Who's Sabotaging the Oil Wells?

    It's a bit late in Aus, so my brain is going into conspiracy theory mode. Is the oil well sabotaging in Iraq being done by the Saudis so that the world is more dependant on their oil?

    Newish theory of oil genesis.

    Sustainable oil? ". . .An intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product. . ." Pretty neat, if true.

    a question and a theory about plate tectonics

    I was reading that thread about plate tectonics on Mars and here's my question: On Earth, is it known if plate tectonics activities are increasing, decreasing or stable? Because, if what I read is true, that unique continent which once existed, Pangea, has broken into many pieces and formed...

    (1): This existence is just a prison. Our souls are sent here to serve time for violating the rules in the eternal existence. When babies die, it means that the soul that inhabited that body had committed only a very small crime, maybe jaywalking between clouds, and was sentenced to only a very...

    Cern and String Theory

    The new atom smasher being built on the French/Swiss border (I think) is going to be SEVEN times stronger than Fermilab. This is perhaps the only chance in near times to have a chance of testing supersymmetry (Which, in my opinion, would be a bigger discovery than life on Mars), which would be...

    charge sheath vortex theory explains many fringe science phenomena

It is based on the simple observation that while stationary particles carrying the same charge will repel each other, once these particles start moving in parallel, they develop electromagnetic fields that cause...

    String Theory

    I think that an experiment needs to be done to confirm whether or not String Theroy is correct. I also think that some kind of expirement could be done using the energy that these one dimensional strings have. Can anyone here think of some expirement that can be done in this way?
