I visited an aquarium today and the guy giving a talk on sharks advised that they can 'smell' a drop of water in volume of water equivalent to 20 Olympic sized swimming pools!
If the shark can smell it, there must be sufficient molecules for it to detect.

Now where did I put Avogadro's constant??
By the way, to produce 30C, only about 100 ml of water is used.

Soroush,

I think you meant to put "they can smell a drop of blood in volume....etc"

don't you mean a drop of blood?
It's not relevant to this. Avogadro's constant applies to "moles" - molecular weights - wich are neer used in homeopathy,.
A drop of blood for example, canot have a "mole" or a molecular weight.

What you need to use to illustrate high dilution is not Avogadro's much misused constant - but the actual dilution factor...such as:
3C is one part per 1,000,000....one part per million. (or one drop of blood in a million drops of water).

"An Olympic Pool must be 25 m wide with a depth of 2.0 m (min) at all parts of the course and must be 50 m in length." So it contains 2,500,000 liters. 20 of them will contain 50,000,000 liters
which is 50,000,000,000 ml (1 liter = 1000 ml)
which is 1,000,000,000,000 drops (1 ml = 20 drops)
So essentially for detecting one drop of blood in 20 Olympic pools is detecting it in
1 part per 1,000,000,000,000
(equivalent to homeopathic 6C or 12X in terms of dilution, but you need an earthquake to succuss it into a remedy.)

Namaste,
Irene

Yes, to make 99 drops of 30c you will need 100 ml of water.
What about 200c and M and 10 m and 20 gallons or 50 gallons of meds?
How many thousands of gallons is then chucked away?
