Clathrates ... Photons

[Fran Sheffield]

I was just reading this response to derogatory article on homeopathy in
the BMJ and wondered if this also feeds into the homeopathic effect.

"...scientists from Harvard and MIT have managed to create molecules
formed from photons bound together. The discovery goes against what
scientists have previously believed to be the signature quality of
photons: that they are massless particles that do not interact with each
other. The capacity to create molecules out of photons has been
described by the physicists involved as “pushing the frontiers of science”.

Interesting Fran - but there is an apparent error here.
Photons are not massless. As Einstein predicted, beams of light from
distant stars are bent by heavier objects. If they were massless, then
gravity of a large star would have no effect on them!

Remember that people who are stridently opposed to homeopathy must necessarily be people who are so alienated from themselves and their own experience that they see even 220 years of personal experience as being anecdotal and all anecdotal evidence as being meaningless. If they weren't so obnoxious I would pity them.
