Homeopathic astronomy?

Those quack homeopathy treatments operate on the assumption that water has a "memory", and it's somehow enough that it's been in contact with some molecule in the past. The astronomy version would be that space has a memory, and you can observe anything if you know there was a relevant photon out there at some point.

Water has memory? We should build a homeopathic computer first of all.

Not homeopathic, but maybe close enough:
