Speculations

Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.

Speculations Forum Rules

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    From http://chronicle.com/free/v49/i21/21b02001.htm Something is probably bull if: 1. The discoverer pitches the claim directly to the media. The integrity of science rests on the willingness of scientists to expose new ideas and findings to the scrutiny of other scientists. Thus, scientists expect their colleagues to reveal new findings to them initially. An attempt to bypass peer review by taking a new result directly to the media, and thence to the public, suggests that the work is unlikely to stand up to close examination by other scientists. One notorious example is the claim made in 1989 by two chemists from the University of Utah, B. Stanley Pons and M…

    (A collection of some thoughts brought on by recent posts and posters. Some of these are touched upon in the FAQ and Pseudoscience section, and these sentiments can be found on other science fora) If you think you've toppled relativity, quantum mechanics, evolution or some other theory with your post, think again. Theories that have been around for a while have lots of evidence to back them up. It is far more likely that you have missed something. Here are some things to consider: You have to back your statements up with evidence. Anecdotes are not evidence. Being challenged to present evidence is not a personal attack. Calling the people in who challenge…

  4. Welcome, creationists, to Science Forums and Debate ======================================================== Please refrain from 'drive-by heathen-preaching', which is where you make one post scorning us for our 'belief' in evolution and then bugger off. This is a discussion forum, not a statement forum. We therefore ask that you stick around to discuss your points with us. Drive-by heathen-preaching tends to merely occupy the moderators' time deleting them, and paints creationists in a bad light. Purpose of this thread This thread was written due to the number of creationists who visit this site to argue against evolution. Whilst this is perfect…

  5. It seems that pseudoscience, while often colourful, sometimes stimulating and - on occasion - entertaining, suffers from shortcomings which are dependent on the wielder of the hypothesis under scrutiny. Unlike conventional scientific theory, which is based upon a continually progressing and narrowing identification of event-level observations that can be demonstrated and explained via the scientific method, there is no unilateral standard within pseudoscience that restricts any one individual or group of individuals to a single approach to any given problem. Without such control, it is only a matter of time before any pseudoscience hypothesis spins wildly out of…

  6. Having posts moved to Pseudoscience & Speculations is not a punishment; it is meant to provide, for any casual reader, a clear divide between mainstream science and that which is still inadequately tested. By posting you have invited objective criticism, and if your post is moved, consider that one critique. Most posts moved here often fall under one or more of the following: No maths. Science requires specific predictions to be made so that a theory may be tested and falsified if it is wrong. Work that needs but lacks a legitimate mathematical framework is almost certain to be moved. Incomprehensible. Science uses well-defined terminology, so if you have made …

  7. This work aims, first and foremost, to construct a falsifiable model of quantum gravity, seamlessly linked to low-energy experiments. — On the one hand, it derives the classical Newton–Maxwell–Einstein (GR) equations from a single "noisy" Hamiltonian on a discrete quantum graph, so it is essentially a candidate for a theory of quantum gravity. — On the other hand, it also incorporates the symmetries of the Standard Model (U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3)), the spontaneous breaking of these symmetries, and even predictions about the "shor anomaly" and microwave resonances in cryogenic qubits. Thus, this is not just "yet another" model of gravity, but a genuine attempt at a unified descrip…

The model only describes our Observable portion as …

    With the help of reflection, I now have a different take on what I perceived at the time to be an idea. I tried to explain it as some of you will be aware & even show it's existence. I have described some things really bad, I didn't have the words or knowledge. My current view is this, I didn't have any sort of idea at all. I haven't discovered anything. I wonder if I've merely 'seen' something/s physics already has a theory or theories for & it is just extremely strange. I don't mean everything in the physics world, just an angstrom snippet if you will. For back up, I refer to my very first post in another thread: https://scienceforums.net/topic/134685-1-sub-qua…

  13. Introduction Using a and b positions on a length as base with density condensation power as exponentiation along with division to determine number of times a length can be proportionally divided into smaller parts toward position a (i.e. 0) from position b. This kind of creates a case of uniform density condensation. I connected this formula to gravity because of the way gravity of this Earth gravitates things toward it - meaning mass and energy surely could be dense deep into the core or something like that if so. The formula visualizes that in a simple way, 1-dimension only. Formula 1. L / 2^x = PL 2. PL * 2^x = L (to double-check #1, I called it density inflation) For…

  14. I’ve been exploring how geometry, mass, and gravity might have been applied in ways we don’t usually consider. The Mass Torque System is my attempt to model how small inputs can leverage large outputs through controlled torque and balance. In a simple demo, .23 oz of input force moves a 10.50 oz sled — a 4565% increase. I’m not claiming new energy is created, only that mechanical advantage can be harnessed in a novel way. Could principles like this have been used in ancient construction methods at sites such as Cusco, Baalbek, or Puma Punku? I’d like to open this up for discussion — do these mechanics resonate with known physics, or might they point toward overlooked appl…

  15. Consider a solenoid attached to a very unyielding shaft 100 feet long that did not stretch or compress (hypothetical). The instant the solenoid shaftr moved within the magnetic field, the other end of the shaft would move. It would move BEFORE a light signal announcing the energizing of the solenoid reached an observer at the other end. The shart would move BEFORE the light flashed on. Another example is a wheel. When you rotate the axil the outside of the wheel moves instantly. It does not wait for an speed of light information signal, it moves instantly. So consider when you move the outside of a wheel from one end, the other side of the wheel moves at the sam…

    What is the conspiracy of mRNA? I thought mRNA vaccines tell your cells to make protein and these protein make large molecules and they fight the virus the virus spike that locks onto the virus spike molecules. Is this what people are afraid of? Because the mRNA vaccines tell your cells to make protein that these molecules bind to the virus spike? And that the conspiracy saying it not natural and not safe and your cells to make is making this protein?

  17. TARSpace starts with a void with 2 then 4 then 6 opposing elements around it. When you start with six Spheres in this octagon manner and build a shell around it you get 38 spheres in an envelope shape of a Truncated Octagon. Flatten the bumps and you have a perfect polyhedron the Truncated Octagon. This figure tessellates space and each shell built out in in the shape or envelope of the Rhombic Dodecahedra. Flatten the faces and you have a perfect Rhombic Dodecahedron which also tessellates space in a pure Honeycomb (Veroni FFC lattice) with four hexagonal planes and 3 square planes intersecting at each element. Every shell buildout around the center Rhombic Dodecah…

    SI definition of a second: "The duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom." If we give the cosmic time (equal to the universe age equal to the proper time of the observer resting in the CMB reference frame) in seconds, we can easily give it in the number of radiation periods from SI definition of a second. In the same manner we can define a physical, conformal age of the universe. That's the duration of a certain number of the extending CMB radiation periods proportional to the extending peak wavelength of this radiation that passed through a point at whic…

    I've been looking at this along time and after expanding my window of thinking i feel I'm closer to finding a true path to immortality. For the first step to this we have to understand that what we think of as evolution is Micro on scale. You have to think on a much larger atomic scale and that matter in its smallest form is no different then a hard drive storing data not like those of memory but each cell holds and retains all of the information that comes in contact with. so big picture take all the atoms that make up a single human being as it goes through the cycles of birth and death. Once the body dies its body decays and breaks into its base molecular structure. an…

    There is no such a thing as a next number. What do I mean by that? Let's use 1 as an example. 1 does not have a number that is next to it. You might think 2 is the next number, but 1.5 is actually in between them. The next number becomes interesting. Suppose you a have a inch piece of wood. Now let's look at it's half-point. It's half-point is 0.5, what comes next? It should be whatever is next to it, but there is nothing next to it. No matter what other length comes after it, there will always be a smaller length before it. Let me get more in-depth. Suppose, after the 0.5 point of the wood, the next length is 0.6. That means 0.6 came before 0.55. It can also mean that t…
