Recently published work to explain ball lightning by O. Meshcheryakov, Wing, Ltd Co., Ukraine offers a concept which may be advanced to further the discussion of the success, however unlikely, of the miniscule doses used in homeopathy. Reducing an electro-chemical battery to nano-scale may cause it to overflow its electrolyte buffer and spontaneously short-circut. The model of the nano- battery in aerosol form and in short-circut event is offered. The article on the strange success of homeopathic As-30 and As-200 asks how any remedy can be created from reducing a substance beyond its Avogadro number. Is there a term for reducing the structural density of a substance through successive titrations to where its electrical matrix is all that remains? Is this enough energy draw the homeopathic remedy, As, like directed ball- lightning with an affinity to eventually discharge and disrupt the action of the root substance? An attempt to explain ball-lightning as an aerosal nano-short may well provide concepts that increase the vocabulary for discussing the strange success of homeopathic remedies.
