We don't need another hero: [editorial]

ABSTRACT

Recently, someone asked me who the ?heroes? of High Dilution research are. This person was not referring to an apocalyptic world, but to the scientific status of this area. Certainly, he did not use the word ?hero?, but asked about leaders, methods, theoretical backgrounds, aims, etc. Shortly, he was being gently ironic? or quite sarcastic, indeed!Maybe we do need a new hero. But not to lead us back to the world of matter, but to show us new paths to thread. Such paths might already exist, but if they do, they are hidden to us. Signs are vain when one is blind and closed to new opportunities and possibilities. Perhaps this is one further barrier to acknowledge and overcome in order to be ready and able to recognize and interpret new signs. Maybe we, ourselves, are our own awaited hero!.
