A Formal Approach to the Problem of Reproducing Experimental Effects with Homeopathic Potencies
JACM, 2009, 15 (3), 287-291
Objective: This paper investigates a general concept of reproducibility with regard to its application on experiments with homeopathic potencies.Methods: The experimental situation for distinguishing a homeopathic potency and its solvent is described in a formal way. This allows the application of the weak law of large numbers. Experimental arrangements are described in a formal way. This allows conclusions to be drawn about the possible existence of nonlocal influences on an experiment.Conclusions: From a pragmatic as well as from a global point of view, a general concept of reproducibility supports decisions whether or not effects in experiments with homeopathic potencies do exist.
