Typical Homeopathic dilution is called 30C; this means that the original substance has been diluted to one drop in a hundred, thirty times over. This means that a 30C Homeopathic preparation is a dilution of 10^60, or one followed by sixty zeros. To demonstrate, this is a dilution of one in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Just to get this enormous number into perspective, there are about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool.
Imagine a sphere of water with a diameter of 150million kilometres (the distance from the Earth to the Sun). It takes light, which is pretty nippy stuff, approximately eight minutes to cover that distance. In that imagined sphere, there would be ONE molecule of active ingredient:
that's a 30C dilution.
