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.

Its been theorized for a couple of hundred years or so, but according to my theory.. its the balanced corotation of a positron and and electron.. what makes me come to that conclusion? Where does the electrons om the sun go? Straight up creating its magnetic field. Making an electron imbalance with it and the normal "ether". Positrons, electrons and neutrino all have similar mass making them all different electrical charges of the same particle.

I believe due to the nature of the universe that life in and of itself is actually quite "common place." I believe its on all the planets and even the sun, but exists in such a way its either too primative or too advanced for us to know thats what it is. My evidence is speculative at best i know, but for one thing Extremophiles (the fact that closer to earth based life can handle such extremes), any compound whether its a molecule or a compex super organism will survive til it can't. Evidence two, storm systems by a vague definition are living things. They reproduce, grow, consume, require gases, use electrical energy or produce it, etc.. storm on jupiter? Thousand year o…

I have this idea about dark matter. Maybe it is space itself, and maybe space itself is not solid and static but more like a liquid, shifting and shaping all around the universe. Also changing density.

I have the solution to M-Theory...mathematical proof of "quantum entanglement" PLEASE share this information with the world. It is a vortex equation, generating projected 3d phi-symmetric matter by observation...infinitely into all dimensions. This is not an attempt to solicit...I have already been banned from another site for attempted solicitation, however I am TELLING YOU, this is the ONE and ONLY singularity matrix. Please look at my instagram page @anthonycanosa for more information...if people start commenting and want me to post the link to the information, I will, however until then, I will refrain so I do not get banned for attempted solicitation... …

The recent news of gravitational waves is quite a big turn of events. I'm curious about the implications on the randomness of quantum information in space time. As larger objects that operate under relativity seem to follow the calculations exactly. I am wondering if quanta operate differently as they are effected by a greater than 0 constant in background gravity. Much how the surface of a body of water produces waves if there are items moving around on its surface. One could imagine that a spec of dust on the surface of this body of water would be much harder to measure, and its positional change over time relative to an observer would appear much more "random" for …

The article in the 3rd link ends in this quote I don't know if you have ever tried to prove it yourself but I am skeptical of anyone saying gravity acts at the speed of light. I haven't got all the figures at my fingertips but with that binary pulsar 1913+16 it seemed impossible to understand how they could orbit each other if their gravitational field was established at the speed of light. I spent a lot of time on this and I am none the wiser but it defies the imagination if you say it is propagated at the speed of light. I had presented my workings on another forum but I never got a satisfactory answer from anyone except to be told it needed to be worked out by r…

Hello there I'm a creative writer working on a worldbuilding project where I'm trying to create a typical fantasy universe, but based more on realism and "theoretical plausibility" in lack of a better term. Fictional lifeforms are designed with evolution in mind, laws of physics are consistent and so on. To an extent where it's looking more like medieval science fiction. With my limited knowledge in a lot of scientific fields, this naturally creates a few obstacles. Despite that, I'll be damned if I don't at least try. Something I've been playing around with, and what I'd love to hear some input and feedback to, is the idea of creating a type of energy or the …

This is an "invention" that ive had in my head for a while.. it is an efficient means of storage, city building, farming, and even "accelerated evolution" (due to the effects of time dilation, fitting 40 sq miles or so into the space of a matchbox will obviously have an altered effect on time, making it pass faster in the bottle than on the outside) How will it be built? an implosion bomb, detonated in outerspace outside any planets immediate rotation path ( we dont want too many unintended consequences) as the implosion happens a rotating electromagnetic container(rotating) is placed of the imploded area to contain the "spacetime" that was squeezed out of empty space…

Our Earth Spins, The Sun Spins, The Galaxy Spins... Because The Black Hole at the Centre of our Galaxy Spins.. 1. The Black Hole creates an Electromagnetic Field.. And It also Spins. 2. The Spin of Stars are Infleunced by the Spin of our Black Hole, because our star also has an Electromagnetic Field. 3. The Spin of our planet is influenced by the Spin of our Star, also because our planet has an electromgnetic field. Think about gears in a clock, The most Central Gear that has the greatest implact is the Black Hole, Then it causes the Gear that is our Star to spin. And then the gear of our planet Spins..... The Solar system spins also, because the Sun Spins... Ev…

You know, humans are very stupid in general and quite arrogant.. We've spent what? around 2000 years or so up in the sky for life that may or may not be wanting to wipe us out.. Yet.. you look at the sheer mass of the earth, and we don't actively inhabit 25% of that.. and the fact that we are really only about 100k-500k years old evolutionarily speaking, yet we know that many things had evolutionary head starts on us, things that adapted to those environments and very LIKELY that some of their descendants still exist with us today, either deep in the ocean depths, or even possibly "bottled time" containers that squeeze the spacetime of a city or so into the size of a bar…

Mass does not create gravity, Electromagnetism creates gravity... If suddenly there were no thunderstorms on the earth for a very long period of time, then the earth would start losing its gravitational pull. Lightning impacts the earth, and energizes the electromagnetic field, a weaker electormagnetic field means lower gravity.... MASS does Not create Gravity... Gravity is Electromagetism...

Ok, I posted a wild speculation yesterday that human's aren't actually the most advanced species on the planet. Were a branch of primate that deviated from a shared common ancestor with apes and chimps some 5 million years ago or so. (We didn't evolve from apes, but we share a grand father a few hundred thousand generations ago or so.) Considering that even some of the most extreme extinction events humans can conceive we still have a 70% chance of some of us surviving. Reptiles are substantially more adaptive than we are, and theyve existed here at least 150 million years before us. Im not saying definitively that a super smart sentient reptiloid has co evolved with us f…

Being a law abiding citizen is definitely more difficult than being a delinquent because it involves mental discipline. A human in an unevolved state is like a savage highly entropic and indisciplined. With every state of mental and physical discipline the entropic state decreases and the difficulty increases. Being a researcher is less entropic than being a fruit seller and requires much more effort from the subject. Does this reflect an evolutionary pattern of socio-economic development ? Please opine.

Humans no doubt have intelligence, and sometimes we even create little micro worlds in a little dish. If this is possible that we could recreate life in a dish is it not possible that life on earth could have been created by an intelligent form? Im not saying intelligent design is how it is and evolution is wrong, im just saying its a possiblitity!

I have been rattling around a couple concepts in my head for interstellar travel involving using a rotating magnetic field as an propeller in the interstellar medium, I know that neutron stars often have a high speed due to their rotating magnetic fields, this is described in some detail in this science fiction book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_Egg this is a magnetic sail http://phys.org/news/2013-01-space-one-kilometer-long-electric-tether.html other rather speculative possibilities http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/54ee3dd3291c0 https://tauzero.aero/discoveries-log/getting-there/starship-designs/propulsion-ideas/ http://www.h…

anyone that has ever tripped on mushrooms or even "acid" at certain amounts knows what im talking about.. evolutionary progression.. why did genders form? and why are they so different from most defined genderless life forms? well.. it was the moon. the moon affected our evolutionary progress when it was formed in our rotation. life's reaction to the moon affected our progress to this point, the moon acted as a sperm to our earths "eggs" which developed into gendered life. Panspermia is real.. but what actually started life here on earth happened long before then.. but.. the moon is why nowadays theres males and females. I want this to be discussed, im saying t…

As I said yesterday "Take the asteroids of the Asteroid Belt I would guess that they all have a similar isotopic profiles too due to the fact they were all accreted from the same region of the protoplanetary disc." (spelling corrected) Does anyone know? All I could get from a video on the Dawn Mission was that of all the meteorites striking the Earth some percentage are known to have come from just 3 bodies, Mars, the Moon and Vesta (protoplanet of the Asteroid Belt). I presume there are many more from unknown origins. Will there be a way of knowing where they come from? NASA site define asteroid belts this way:http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image…

A water strider (or Gerridae) is an insectisoid that can balance itself on the sensitive hydrogen-bonding in water molecules almost as if it can "walk on water." Water striders have the uncanny body control to create instant body weight-transference effectively enough to use the surface tension of water molecules to literally run across the surface of bodies of water. If a spider can teach us about the compatible geometric connectivity of objects in space (with their nifty connective webs), then a water strider can teach us about the tangible molecular connectivity of objects in space (with their nifty ability to stride across hydrogen-bonds in water). Einstei…

Hi, New here and I have an idea I would like to share with those who would know better. The idea is to fill clear silicone rubber balloons with Helium and put them in my High Tunnel. The hoped for result would be as the sun shines on the balloons during the day the balloons would absorb heat and stay at the roof of the High Tunnel, and as the temperatures dipped at night the balloons would fall down bringing the warmth from the stored heat with them. Just an idea! I have found out that theoretically heating a Helium Balloon will make it rise, and cooling a helium balloon will make it fall. Also helium is a good heat conductor. Other balloon materials …

Was big bang a white hole? Maybe the first things which got into our universe were sent to us from another parallel universe by a black hole. P.S- This is my theory, you don't necessarily need to agree to it :')

There are several speculations in this quote from Wikipedia. "That dark matter could potentially aggregate," the strike through is mine, is not relevant to my speculative comment. Extra dimensions always seem to be characterized as small and rolled up; in other words, I have not read anywhere that there could be large dimensions as the ones we know (nominally x, y and z). If matter exists in our dimensions and do not interact with dark matter in other dimensions (e.g., x', y', and z') except through gravity, those dimensions could be large and orthogonal like ours. We cannot actually see dimensions; we see matter and light that exist in these dimensions. Similarly, our in…

By using the inverse square law we know that at balance point mass of sun will be ten thousand times that of earth.. Our planet weights 6x10^24 kg so the sun weighs 6x10^28 kg. I am confused as text books state 2x10^30 kg? Keplers 3rd law will keep an object at the L1 position but it will not set that balance position.

I'm not sure if I invented the word or the form, but why dont we use it already. 2 phase dc is basically something with 1 positive and 2 negative and has 2 phases (of course), 1 phase from negative 1 to positive and another from negative 2 to positive, which it switches quickly, preferrably at 60hz. It can easily be transformed with transformers and changed to true DC by connecting the two negatives together. Also unlike AC it is always in its true potential. If someone already invented it, can I know the name? Thanks! -The Direct Dude

In this current form of number addressing it is Impossible To Hit An End. So I was inspired to come up with the correct methodology to travel from 0 to infinity in a logical serial numbering: Zero : a centre in a circle One : a rayon in a circle Two: a diameter in a circle (|) Three : a trinity in a circle (Y) Four : a plus in a circle (+) Five : a star in the circle (*) ............ Finity: a disc : ● Now I challenge you to calculate the last or biggest number possible (finity). Hint: theists worship the number "1665" And say he is (bigger)!
