Can/should we Skeptics in Modern Science?

Schools vary. At many schools, it's "relatively" easy to get what we used to call a "staple thesis"; just collect four (or so) semi-related journal articles and bind them as chapters 2-5 of the dissertation. (Chapter 1, of course, is a general introduction to the field, and the conclusion can be anything you want up to and including a recipe for braised duck.) These are more common in the United States than in the UK, in part because you often have much more time, sometimes as much as 10-12 years, to complete the dissertation, and it's much easier to do it part-time. I believe such theses are fairly common in Japanese schools as well.

Similarly, I'm not sure who you think is guarding the "extremely jealously guarded principle that an honorary degree is never a PhD," but a simple search on the phrase "honorary PhD" will find several dozen reasonably reputable universities that are happy to award such.
Blimey, how the other half lives! So "Dr. Mas" might really have these degrees, if that's all they're worth?

I was talking about the UK. Last I heard about it, there would have been a mass riot of earned-PhDs if any university here threatened to award an honorary one. Give 'em a DSc or anything you like, just not a PhD. Sort of like you don't get awarded honorary A levels.

Arrrrg, Kumar! DO try not to make too big a fool of yourself. ROlfe knows more that you could learn in alifetime, even if you started to listen to people.

Rolfe has already explained all that to you months ago. It is just that you are so incredibly thick that you don't get a word of it.


Rolfe: Back on the Kumar wagon, ehh? Heheheh.

When you can't trust other sayings, & remain skeptic in everything exept of your interest, how one can believe in anyone's just saying. How can I believe, he/she is PhD. Even, if I couldn't get anything materialistic from any level of qualification, what is his or his degree's benefit to me. As per your posts & most of replies, you looks much more educated/qualified/beneficial to me. At these type of forums, posting substance cn only matter, not degree, qualifications, contradictions, this & that etc.

Don't you feel/find that effects of any medicine is related & seen as per its chemical composition in coumpound form? Why we don't take medicines in ionic/atomic form? We can't deny that any activity/function/work can be energy dependant & if our body works mostly be chemical reactions, energy can be released or taken by associations & disassociations--as specific to any compound/molecule. You can't interpret any medicine in terms its atomic/elemental form, but you consider its molecular form. Specific energies can be chracteristic to specific molecules.

Because of the content of his posts, or rather the content that is lacking from them. He makes wild claims and then makes excuses for refusing to attempt to substantiate them. I have no way of knowing how much his qualifications are actually worth, since his website doesn't reveal where he got them, but I have certainly been able to form an opinion of him from what he has posted.

Yes, posting qualities can only matter in these type of discussions--not degrees, qualifications, claims etc. Whatever he is asking repeatedly is due to 'going in skeptic's way' & want to clear every point before telling anything. It is pure non-belief/disbelief style. Mostly, I feel/find now, he may satisfy you about molecular presence in all potencies.

If you think this, then why are you such a fan of ash analysis in the first place? What do you think happens to the molecules in the tissue when they are burned?

I think, I have already explained it many times. The purpose is to know type of energies released or taken on chemical reactions in body by the constituents of these salts.

Just look at this;

"Disease is the result of a disturbance of the molecular motion of one of the inorganic tissue salts. The cure consists in the restoration of the equilibrium of the molecular motion by furnishing a minimal dose of the same inorganic substance, since the molecules of the material thus used remedially fill the gap in the chain of molecules of the affected cell or tissue salt.

"Virchow says that disease is an altered state of the cell, and hence the normal state of the cell constitutes health. The constitution of the cell is determined by the composition of its nutritive environment exactly as a plant thrives according to the quality of soil around its roots.

Your quote might answer the question of why you are interested in the ash analysis. But you probably realize that people here would find it incorrect.

That can be reason of some misunderstandings.

Now some other thing;

Can you measure any salt in ash & if yes how?

Whether molecular presence of active remedy's substance in high potencies can be scientifically/chemically measured, if yes, whether already measured or not? Pls provide some referances.

I have three pieces of work that are really, really urgent. So I sit down at the computer and what do I do? At least it isn't that bloody Solitaire game.

Rolfe.
It isn't? Are you sh- *oops* sure? (I really had that one rubbed in deep :rolleyes: ). OK, now I get it. Welcome in the club, btw. ....at least I get to improve my English..
