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.

  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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 …

  7. 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.

  8. Well now, at the risk of some criticism I will say that I agree with the above statements except for the bit about Newton making only an assumption; his idea was indeed based on observation. I suggest to you that the only force we know and can explain really well is the "push" caused by one object attempting to displace another. It seams reasonable to me that both magnetism and gravity may be the manifestation of some sort of "push". The magnetic field especially seems to indicate a "pump" at the center of the magnet with a flow emitted at one pole and reentering at the other. In the gravitational field "flow" appears to be in one direction only. I suggest that…

    Why inflation? If the mathematical BB contents expressed were a complete set of all derivations possible, then the matter/anti matter destruction issue is further amplified by the failures of the Imaginary Number information, such as sq.rt.- 2, and etc. This failure was resulting from the underlying logic of our classic world not supporting this family of numbers, as they are obviously illogical. The IN file calculations ended in the first 3 dimensions (classical world), yet continue in the remaining dimensions, four thru ten (quantum world), as the quantum world has it's own, to be determined "logic". The duration of the inflation would have been limited to the time it t…

    Let's do a mind experiment, if life exists on Titan, and some people think there is some indication it might, it's unlikely to be anything more than microbes... BUT! What if complex life evolved there and an intelligence arose, how advanced is it likely they could become? I'll start by pointing out that metals we are familiar with would be unlikely to exist on Titan, no copper, no gold, no silver, no iron and no uranium! Would the lack of metals as we know them prohibit or at least limit a high tech civilization on Titan or are there ways around this? Some metals at least that cannot be useful in their elemental form on Earth would probably be impur…

    No one has mentioned the possibility of“quantum foam” as a solution. There is possibly a numerical justification for this. Slit experiments, and phenomena like the Casimir effect suggests that an electro-magnetic wave may be regarded as a “bubble”, with the wavelength being the diameter. It also acts as a “boson” carrying the coulomb force, which from the constant, 1 coulomb of force requires 1.50919 x 10^33 “bubbles”. “Space” contains a variety of wavelengths of radiation, but if a volume is at a constant “black body” temperature it is apparent that the total coulomb force exerted by the bosons in a volume of space will also be constant, and can be represented by an “…

  16. The Speed of Light: E=mc2 is a popular, powerful formula that needs a deterministic explanation. How is mass simply converted to energy and vice versa? Space Compression Spring Theory postulates that there is no conversion. The energy is simply trapped and localized. Understanding how energy can be trapped in a location begins to describe the connection between the fundamental laws of the universe. Photons are energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. All energy from gammas rays to radio waves are simply photons of different wavelengths. If we could break down these waves in a single quanta or unit, you would have a single photon. The first major assumpt…

  17. According to the common viewpoint, life is an open system that interacts with external energy. The mainstream viewpoint is that this causes a decrease in its entropy, enabling life to emerge on the first place and to sustain itself, thus avoiding chemical chaos. In return, the system releases entropy to its surroundings so that the 2nd law of thermodynamics is not violated. The common view that the origin of life is characterized by accumulation of order, as order means lower entropy. However, the term order can be very subjective, as an object non involved in life such as a rolling stone can say that it sees no order or no meaning in living systems’ chemical reac…

First of all let me tell you one simple incident that happened in my early life which is base for this theory. Ours is a tiles house. It is one of the severe winter day. Cold winds started entering the house from the small holes. Actually i could not sleep. Seeing at my suffering father called on me. He was sleeping near to the kitchen. Infact total area is one hall only. It was dry and hot at that place. Immediately i had asked my father why it is hot here, he replie…

    Is there a possibility that the Universe is perpetually expanding ? I think that after the initial impetus of the big bang where matter was distributed progressively, gravitation between the different sub-components of the Universe (like globular clusters) determines how the Universe will pan out. (much like Plasticine). When interactive forces become very small voids are created which are either worm holes or black holes, implying the creation of new "universes". This process can continue perpetually. The semantics of the word "Universe" are open to debate.

Millions of people have experienced various religious and occult phenomena however skeptical scientists deny even the existence of such phenomena. The denial of the phenomena is not the solution because the denial provides no explanation why so many people claim to have experienced various religious and occult phenomena. Instead of denial the scientific explanation of underlying mechanisms is needed.

  22. Assume that an electron and a positron were emitted as part of the big bang on parallel trajectories. I conjecture that they cannot propagate independently ad infinitum. Here's why : 1) Infinite momentum and hence infinite parallelism is not possible 2) There is a component of the attractive force that continues to act on the particles through their trajectories. 3) Space time is curved and particles on a geodesic would end up meeting in curved space. Hence all such mutually antagonistic pairs would end up annihilating each other.

    I need help . I have came up with a theory that explains everything we see. It also explains what happens after death also when the earth will end. I have used nothing but science and logic to build this model. It makes sense of everything. What I am asking is for help with getting in touch with someone that will listen. I have made believers out of any and everyone I have talked to. Please I beg the scientific community to hear me and help. For this theory encompasses all religion and science . The fact is we are all right, it is when we think that our way is the only way we are wrong.
