Speculations
Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.
The Speculations forum is provided for those who like to hypothesize new ideas in science. To enrich our discussions above the level of Wild Ass Guesswork (WAG) and give as much meaning as possible to such speculations, we do have some special rules to follow:
- Speculations must be backed up by evidence or some sort of proof. If your speculation is untestable, or you don't give us evidence (or a prediction that is testable), your thread will be moved to the Trash Can. If you expect any scientific input, you need to provide a case that science can measure.
- Be civil. As wrong as someone might be, there is no reason to insult them, and there's no reason to get angry if someone points out the flaws in your theory, either.
- Keep it in the Speculations forum. Don't try to use your pet theory to answer questions in the mainstream science forums, and don't hijack other threads to advertise your new theory.
The movement of a thread into (or out of) Speculations is ultimately at the discretion of moderators, and will be determined on a case by case basis.

I don't know whether this post belongs to Politics (or Sociology) or whether it even belongs to this forum at all. I was just contemplating that suppose our default skin pigment was blue and there was a minority with green skin tone..... Would racism still exist in this society? After all our biases are essentially WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and seem to be associated with the reflex arc rather than serious introspection. Your thoughts...(provided the moderator doesn't find this post scandalous).

THE FLAVOURS OF NEUTRINOS -- AN INTRIGUING SCIENTIFIC FACT When I read about scientific fact that neutrinos change their “mass” with but-strap mode from < 3*10^-6 MeV / C^2 (electron neutrino) in < 30 MeV / C^2 ( for Tau neutrino) I was amazed and wanted to post with label “ Controversy”. That because, even though I scratched for a long time my lay-man’s head, I didn’t was able to grasp how this can happens. Everybody understands that to loose energy when you run for long time is not against nature, but to gain energy from thin air in this case is upside down. So I thought to post in this forum, ( with-out that hated “controversy” label) maybe somebody knowledgeab…

So ive been thinking this for a while and never really thought of asking anyone that may be in the know such as you guys... Why have we not dug huge holes in the ground and created some perceptual cycle that uses a huge amount of sea water/lava with some turbine in some confined environment? Therein creating a clean, renewable and i'd think extremely efficient (lava being like super mega hot and all) energy source.. I guess set up costs may be the biggest consideration but with some sort of unified program and lets just a little IMF funding (they could create a cover for the project more than easily enough though i dont really want to get into the politics of it b…

I think Dekan is right. I think electrons are material particles, real particles that have nothing to do with annihilation. Even interacting with positron they dance with him preserving hidden in photon own entity,. They display themselves when divorce with positron.

We normally express motion of a planet in space as the distortion of local space time. This is looking from the perspective that mass is the driver and space is the agent. What if we visualize mass as the agent and space time as an intelligent matrix that "responds" to mass by creating a ripple that registers an event? In fact if we look at the early history of the universe if space was not "intelligent" (much like pliable Plasticine) it could not respond to the primordial masses that were created at the big bang and it is still being responsive (as the universe is expanding as the galaxies move further apart). Also if we assume that this Plasticine was of finite density …

Well 2D or 3D and having boundaries, if we take the position that we not assume anything then the boundaries are "visible" to the extent that that is as far as we can observe. So the cake has become larger and larger the last hundred years even without the also observed expansion. We can observe further. I thought the balloon analogy takes care of another problem concerning the space cake (this cake depicting thus the visible universe) namely that this rising cake is also "thrown / big banged" in a specific direction. In a way that resembles a balloon being blown up, of which only part is visible. I.e. if you take a paper hole puncher and perforate the balloon the ti…

Introduction I am a physics teacher in a lower secondary school (gimnazjum). For many years I have thoroughly analysed and interpreted the results of scientific experiments in physics and confronted them with modern theories. The results of the experiments indicate that micro- and macroscopic world observe precise, consistent, explicit and clear rules. Incorrect interpretation of the structure and mechanics of the microscopic world lead to an erroneous division into quantum and classical physics. De Broglie waves and Schrodinger's quantum mechanics were introduced into physics as a result of incomprehension of the structure and mechanisms of the microscopic world. Some o…

I recently attened Dr. Michio Kaku presentation at my college (Jan. 23, 2014, 1800), as I stated in a thread we won't discuss I'm only a Programming student. One subject he spoke of now has my curiosity, Savant Syndrome. Why? Today I went and bought a book (for fun) of "Fundementals of Physics". I'm not sure of the year it was published or the Author but I can say that the First Review question(s) of the First Chapter are word puns using the SI Prefix system, hence the title of this post. The first two chapters simply state equations to measure different things, such as distance, speed, etc. However, I have never had Calculus or Trigonometry but the moment I looke…

The assumption is that the universe is the physical manifestation of mathematics. If this is true, the universe would have to behave with a mathematical model that is bounded only by itself, and to be able to predict everything about itself, simultaneously. This is my attempt to build such a model. The model is describing a structure that is bounded by 0 and 1, but has the ability to predict every point between 0 and 1 and also including 1. Not only does it have the ability to predict every point between, but also has the ability to predict every point of every point within, approaching 0, simultaneously. The paper is an excerpt from a larger paper, so it ma…

I have heard max tegmark say that in the mathematical universe, there is no "stopping point" as to the investigation of physical realities.....there is nothing that cannot come under scrutiny of the maths, since everything is math. That may be true up to a point (TOU), but where did the "maths" come from? That is a valid question to pose if you wish to deal with a true TOE that has no "givens" or at least the minimum amount of them as possible. I certainly agree in his assessment that a mathematical assignment to reality is the way to proceed, but that doesn't say why all the baroque math is "out there" to be used to cobble together this or any other universe....as I have…

Most people pursue financial gain. What if we all sought biological gain? The latter makes more sense to me. We are approaching technology that will allow for us to have control over our own mortalities. Shouldn't this be our highest priority? I have a very wealthy friend who makes a high income in finance. His job is to convince banks to loan wealthy people money interest rates that make my friend and the bank high profits. When I visited him, he took me on his expensive boat. We had a pretty good time, but I think he said that he used up about $1000.00 that day in fuel. Then we went back to his mansion. Only about 15 years ago, we would amuse ourselves…

Sorry but this is it. Occam's razor states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. The razor states that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate. In science, Occam's razor is used as a heuristic (general guiding rule or an observation) to guide scientists in the development of theoretical models rather than as an arbiter between published models. In the scientific method, Occam's razor is not considered an irrefutable principle of logic or a scientific result. WE KNOW: We are energy and as we…

The Idea for me is to prove that gravity is a direct response to the removal of space time between the nucleus of an atom and its surrounding particles and that a black hole is responsible for galactic and universal time recirculation. It seems to me if you squeeze out all of the atomic space in an already dense object like a Neutron star, the result would be an event such as a black hole. However it should not have gravitation field because it would have nothing to create it other than the illusion of gravity. I theorize that when matter is pushed into the black hole by the vacuum of space and released via the jet's that in fact the energy ejected has actually been in ti…

This is the code and the diagrams I am saying I am into the infinate system first then I taught someone esle to play and then on another and another ontil we figured out the equation to travel faster than light. You are in a genetic code and if you want to stay alive you have to choose which god you want to idol... Figure it out wisely. In the meantime I am setting up a simple kickstarter that will either choose which one feels right and I will show you thing only in your head but first we have to build the hardware to truly plug into a 3d interactive past future heaven hell battle to see who will win the eternal question should be the eternal battle think you have wh…

The more certain we are about an event the more uncertain it is and vice versa. Programmatically it could be thought of as an infinite loop with no exit point till the wave function collapses and the loop is exited. Maybe it could be thought of as a closed loop string that collapses to a point or an open loop string keeping string theory in mind.

hi, my name's luke leighton, i did the usual maths further maths physics and chemistry (A,B,D,D in that order, and an S-Level Distinction in single-maths), and in 1986 developed a fascination for particle physics. i developed a career in programming, moved into software libre, pursued all sorts of wonderful things but still kept at the back of my mind the pictures i'd seen in a book i'd bought back at school, and, critically, still remembered the theory i'd independently developed which i later learned was called the "Rishon Model", by Haim Harari. 27 years and a number of false starts later i've started to write it up again, but this time something happened: a r…

wouldn't it logically have to be more or less everywhere in the universe including the Milky Way and the Sun's system and the Earth and in your living room? And if it exists locally, what have we been calling it all these years of investigating the bodies and energies we have so carefully and thoughtfully catalogued and measured and modeled around here? Just wondering if dark energy and dark matter make any sense, if they cannot be found to exist, in some form or another in our Earthly environment. TAR Or does the Heliopause in some way sheild us from them, or does the massive electromagnetic field of the Sun redirect them, or does the Sun somehow metabol…

I had an idea yesterday about why light doesn't escape a black hole, and it came to me that maybe it's freezing and turning into a light version of snow. A possible conclusion from this idea is that light may slow down during this process.

Hi, I am currently build a new mind machine using frequency technology, I am just starting out on this, but have all the schematics prepared and shall make a 3D model of my machine shortly.... What I need is some help with programming circuit boards for activating frequencies from a cell phone, or similar radio device, or information about the components needed. The machine is actually quite simple to build, and the total cost would probably be no more than about 200 - 500 dollars... Anyhow this is the help I need from others about stuff.... 1. I need to connect a mobile cell phone to USB, and write Driver software to activate the Phone to * emit fre…
