- Homeopathy: There's nothing in it | The 10:23 Campaign (1023.org.uk). Homeopathic medicines are so dilute that not a single molecule of the "active ingredient" remains in most doses. A good order of magnitude approximation of the dilution limit limit is Avogadro's constant 6.02 × 1023. The 10:23 Campaign aims to raise awareness about the reality of homeopathy.
