Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

This guy did spectroscopy on various dilutions. His result was that water kept this spectrum of the original solution, even when he diluted it further and further, thus supporting the theory that water has a memory.

Tiny problem:

That's just what it said in the text.

The article contained spectra and diagrams, but:
- the pixel-resolution was so crappy that all spectra looked alike
- the pixel-resolution was so crappy that you couldn't read the units of measurement in the spectra
- There was an image of a group of spectra. I kid you not: The author had taken a screenshot of his PC and posted that image, Windows Taskbar and all.



The easiest way to spot a fake paper (or a paper from a journal that publishes every crap as long as you pay) is the layout. If the layout looks unprofessional, there's a 99% chance the paper is bullshit.
