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.

So by seeing the entanglement could we program a computer to pull the atom into a pool from where it was ? I understand that studying the entanglement will disentangle if. Like a spinning coin, why see if it will land on heads or tails; instead of just pooling it in and organizing it as such

My personal take on Kaluza-Klein theory is to drop the "Cylindrical 5th Dimension" as an explanation for charge and instead view the intrinsic spinning/rotation of curved spacetime produced by a particle as being responsible for its charge. While trying to visualize the intrinsic spinning/rotation of spacetime curvature around the particle geometrically, it seems the spinning/rotating curvature would have to have a polarity; that is, the spinning/rotation is faster along the "equator" of the spacetime curvature (can't think of what else to call it) and slower towards its poles -- assuming its spherical. But if it has a polarity, then what's to stop it from flipping u…

I'm creating an alternative Earth for a fantasy story and wondered if people may help me speculate on certain features of it, and how 'Earthlike' they would render the world. I don't need realistic so much as believable - but i would like it to be believable to a scientifically literate crowd. For instance, would it be possible to have the world orbit in the goldilocks zone of a binary system and still be 'Earthlike'. I guess this would alter the seasonality of the world, but i don't know enough astronomy to speculate what difference that might make. Would it depend on the relative orbital speeds of the two stars and the the world? Further, would the stars both ha…

I saw this article on the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8489019.stm I've personally never tried homeopathic remidies before....I was wondering if anyone hear has actually used them and what they think.

If science purports to assist humankind, it must address the nemesis of most human beings. At the end of the road we die. None live beyond the years of 120. Following are the posted rules for the Speculations Forum: 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.

An invitation to every inclined physicist or cosmologist to admit or escape the notion that the energy and the forces between the earth, the moon and the sun, their substance and motions, are absolutely unique in the universe.

Strange, so sorry to bang heads with you over this as well as the flat earth, but have you never seen chemtrails? I have seen thousands! I know yuo already think I am a crackpot, but I really cant understand how anyone can deny these things are terribly real. I can't read your location, and it may well be that they are not sprayed in your area, but in my area, there are literally hundreds every week!

The BBT is the ultimate golden egg of the modern science. I will explain this statement. During our discussion about the CMB, it comes to me again and again that the BBT is the cause. Somehow, the modern science positions the cause – BBT, before the evidences as the ultimate solution. I have never seen similar case at any aria which I deal with. Based on that cause they have developed a full system to protect and support that golden egg. They have set this golden egg at a golden cage. No one is allowed to touch it. Sometimes - it is even forbidden to look at it. I'm not against that golden egg. I'm not against any sort of theory, but please - after 50 year…

Sounds good, thanks Another question which satellites/ orbis are used for testing relativity? I mean most satellite have only GPS purposes,- I suppose But which satellites are also used for systematical scientific test of relativity ?

Even if a particle is given infinite energy there exists no infinite path, either in a closed loop or open loop system, so infinite propagation is impossible.

Let's assume that we all have just landed at Mother Earth. We don't know anything about the Universe and how it looks like. We don't know what is a galaxy or cluster. We also don't know anything about the BBT, Expansion and all the other relevant theories. So, they put us in a closed room and give us the following information about the CMB: They also explain that the CMB is based on wavelength radiation which comes evenly from all the directions. This wavelength radiation is linear. It also has a very unique feature - it can cross very long distance (much more than light). They specify that the CMB redshift is 1089, and they also give us full expla…

A current of electric charges creates a magnetic field not a gravitational field. But a current of Gravito-magnetic monopoles would create a gravitaional field. Maybe particles with Weak hypercharge are Gravito-magnetic monopoles Neutrinos possess Weak hypercharge. So maybe a current of neutrinos would create a gravitational field

Fight against Constant Physics Jin Guangnian From 2010, I spent almost all my time and energy on my research. I'm very serious about my discoveries. In 17th century and 19th century, Ether theories were widely accepted by scientists. These theories were defeated twice in 18th century and 20 century. The reason why Ether theories lost war is Physics constant. Newton's gravitational constant defeated Ether gravitational theory and the constant of speed of light in Vacuum and Flank constant defeated Ether electromagnetic theory. I believe there are no so-called constants in this Universe. Physics constant is a trap, we should get out of it. Forget co…

One year ago I posted this thread http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/86752-orbit-anomalies-solved As I wrote it was only a Beta version of the theory. Today I see very small part of the theory was wrong, these very small issues have been fixed. A new updated version can be read here http://science27.com/paper.pdf One year ago I wrote, in the old thread... If someone thinks I mathematical can prove RRM or DFA, just forget it… This is off course not possible. Swansont then wrote, OK then. There's nothing to discuss. Come back when you have a model. Well, Now I have a “model”, - or rather now the theory can be verified based on hard evidence. Bu…

Imagine the difficulty biological scientists would have understanding biology in this day and age, if we were still in a time pre-Darwinian evolution? Can you see how biologist would suffer in much the same way that current day physicists and cosmologists are? Interesting! Here's another way to look at it. Physics and cosmology are suffering a glaringly obvious problem, no adequate answer for a highly fine tuned, complex, ordered physical universe. And I for one, do not believe designer is the solution, and nor chance. So what other options are there? Well we are already well aware of a process of nature, that allows wondrous complexity to arise within systems. Evolutio…

It is a hopeless task (in my eyes) to attempt any rigorous definition of what "art" is. Perhaps ,to digress it could almost be defined in that way -as something "undefinable" But is it a hopeless task to speculate as to what may have given rise originally to what we might now recognize as an artistic action? This is ,perhaps necessarily a thought experiment but if we go back ,in our mind's eye to the dawn of life to the period where organisms and later our closer evolutionary relatives were starting to communicate with each other can we imagine what these primal communications might have been like? I suggest as far fetched as this might seem ,it co…

I have my own theory: Light is a wave, this wave expand at the front and fade away at the back. It’s the same principal as if you take let say 2 blocks. You place a block at the front and take away a block at the end. If you repeat this over and over again it looks like the 2 blocks move forward. When a light wave is created it has no speed at all not even if it’s created by a moving object. The rate of the expansion at the front and fading away at the back is what we see as the speed of light.

Nice read, I offer you another option, I hope you may take the time to go over every detail and study the satellite views closely. Although convection and other forces may help to induce movement- It is my contention that most of the tectonic displacement has been the result from extraterrestrial influences- that the Moon had impacted the Tethys sea, where the Mediterranean sea now exists, approx.13kya, [YDB] to cause the Gothenburg geomagnetic excursion, breaking up the super-continent of Pangaea, causing mass extinctions [megaflora, megafauna,...] and ending the Pleistocene era... [Notice that every tectonic interaction, [with the exception of the African p…

I have been thinking that gravitation is caused by distortions in the orbits of the virtual particles, and that they are not just in space, but are space. They "make and break" at a certain frequency, just as light goes electric and then magnetic at a certain frequency, but somehow mass elongates virtual pair orbits so that they are in existence slightly longer than when not proximate to mass. That extra duration of existence manifests itself as the warpage issue with an actual geometric change of orbits. If pair A disappear in one certain geometric area of space, pair B might occur within the spatial boundary area of the prior A particle's orbital area...and when a t…

UNGHOSTLY ENTANGLEMENT A method of entangling pairs of bowling pins. Two lines of bowling pins feed into a device that shoots them off two pins at a time. One line of pins is upright and the other line has the pins inverted. Each line feeds two pins at a time into the shooting device. The two lines of pins feed alternately or randomly into the shooting device. Measuring the results at random times will have 50% up pins and 50% down pins. However, if one pair of pins is fired then measured both pins will be either up or down, regardless of the time or place of the measurement.

I was reading up on gravitational waves at http://www.einstein-online.info/and it states that they propagate at the speed of light. If they are only distortions of space, which therefore have no mass/energy they shouldn't be bound by the rules preventing them exceeding the speed of light. Does this constraint indirectly say that they are composed of particles with mass/energy? If so, why don't they travel slower than the speed of light? So why is the speed of light chosen for the speed of gravitational waves propagation, why not above or below?

No one knows what it is. I think it's energy rebalanced from the initial big bang. I think the default condition of the universe is space expanding faster than light. This property divides the universe. The initial condition was one which contained only dark energy. The quantum nature of the vacuum allowed that space to borrow some of this energy to create virtual particles pairs. When space expands faster than the speed of light virtual particles pairs are separated from each other. The random nature of the quantum vacuum meant that a large and dense enough mass could be produced randomly the size of our universe. This would instantly collapse under its own …

Stars dont create Light/Photos, Fire doesnt Create Light/Photons. Light/Photons Simply Escape... Light exists in all things. Even the deepest of deep subatomic particles Light Exists... Light simply escapes, it is not created.. Inside the source of all subatomic particles you will find a balance between Light and Nothing... Particles are Not Particles, Particles are Waves that create the illusion of a Particles.... The Waves are not waves, They are Pulses... The are made between the balance of Light emerging from the Void... Everything is not a wave, everything is a Pulse.... when people say wave, they assume a wave is two dimentional... When really it is a Pulse.…

From light's frame of reference, let d be the distance light travels during an increment of time in the direction of a massive particle: dn+1 = dn • w Where w is the 'warp constant' of a particle, and w > 1 For massive non-boson particles: dn-1 = dn • (1/w) For massive non-boson particles, dn-1 > 0 What this means is that two massive particles can not 'collide', and there will always be spacetime between them.
