I'd love if someone could give me a very brief scientific explanation of how homeopathy works. I'm taking chemistry and high school now and at first glance it doesn't make any sense to me for a few reasons:

1. Diluting a substance to a greater degree should reduce it's effects, not increase them.

2. When I look at the substances being used/diluted I don't see scientific reason as to why that particular substance would cure a disease.

3. When looking at things that are diluted to a ratio of 1 x 10^24 or higher wouldn't that mean you likely have only a few molecules of the substance in the actual treatment/medicine? How could this be enough to cure someone of a disease? And if it's diluted significantly higher like around 100, the odds of there being a single molecule of the substance in your treatment are incredibly small.

I've only just taken an interest in this today and may have a lot of things wrong. Right now the only reason I can think of it working is a placebo effect, but any simple further explanation of how homeopathy works would be greatly appreciated.
