One reason that there are anomolous results in things (Bell's Theorem, Homeopathy, etc.) is that the underlying assumption is that we are dealing with particles -- little balls that have simple attributes like electric charge by which they interact. But of course the reality is quite different. P-brane theory indicates that there are many more than just 3 physical dimensions (probably 10 or 11).

So take Bell's Theorem as an example. A layman's explanation of the theorem might be: "No local deterministic hidden-variable theory is capable of reproducing the results of quantum mechanics. [In other words] quantum potential MUST be non-local for it to work. Another way of looking at it is particles must be connected at superluminal speeds. (Hence why Einstein didn't like it...)". Now in a 3D reality this is an issue. But in a 10D or 11D reality it isn't, because those "particles" are part of nD (where n=10 or 11) structures. Thus even though the particles might be separated in 3D space by a distance that would violate the speed of light for information transfer, and yet we know (from experiment) that such information transfer does occur, if those particles are not truly separated (as they appear in 3D) but are really still connected (in nD) then the resolution of how such information "transfer" becomes feasible.

So here we have an experiment that demonstrates that yes, there is something "there" in homeopathy. In a 3D reality homeopathy is junk, a fake, a fraud, a scam. But we don't live in a 3D reality. Therefore, there may be "memory" in the higher order components of an nD structure that would not be possible in a 3D structure. Now, does this experiment "prove" homeopathy? No. It merely indicates that more experiments should be done in this area -- first to validate that the results of this experiement are reproducible, and if so, then to do some more experiments to see what the heck is going on.

You must be joking Mr. Dark_Lord!

"P-brane theory indicates that there are many more than just 3 physical dimensions (probably 10 or 11)."

I've read theories that electro-magnetism is the consequence of something that's going on in the 10th dimension. Hmmmm

Okay. But homeopathy predicted something would be there, and that's a different thing. And no, I don't believe in homeopathy for a second;
