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. 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…

    Is there a cap on the number of elementary particles ? I think not. By varying the energy of collisions the types of particles change and the list is almost endless.

    Dear friends, First of all let me tell you that i did not study science in higher studies and these are out of interest only. Here i am starting one of the important basic principle "GRAVITY". 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.

  5. Neurocluster Brain Model is the brain model based on neuroscience which demystifies, reveals and explains all religious and occult phenomena. 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. Neurocluster Brain Model provides the scientific explanation of underlying mechanisms of religious and occult phenomena. Neurocluster …

  6. 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.

    So I was thinking earlier, and I have a BIG question to ask. So because everything in the universe can be defined by a quantum state, do we not necessarily exist as 10, 9, 8, etc etc dimensional beings as well as 3 dimensional beings in quantum state? It's just that if the theory of Quantum entanglement is correct (Which it REALLY looks that way) then wouldn't everything in the universe being definable by a single quantum state make us all 10 dimensional and 3 dimensional at the same because of the relative nature of mass time and space?

    So I've been discussing this with several members of SFN and I find that this might actually amount to something should it be refined and processed. So a list of the basic principles of this highly speculative hypothesis looks like: 1) All non-antimatter matter is entangled to each other remotely through quantum entanglement via a single group of particles being definable by a single quantum state in which there exists one or more particles which are entangled with another group of particles that are still definable by a single compound quantum state due to their linking with the first group of particles. 2) Matter is entangled across dimensions with existence of …

  15. I like to visualize the stages of life : infant, teen, adult, aged as different stages of (neuronal) excitation. As an infant we are always learning and absorbing. As a teen we are consolidating. As an adult we are collecting and disseminating. As an aged person we are regressing. These are clear phases with marked characteristics. Do you agree ?

    Modern culture is focused on networking efficiency (i.e., eTrade, Facebook, etc.). This orients our psychology towards traffic pattern sensitivity. We are predisposed to understanding how things connect and are compatible for pedestrian traffic and mercantile relations (i.e., Wall Street). The way we sweat has literally changed. American media is filled with movies and television shows about comic book superheroes such as Magneto (Marvel Comics), a mutant who can control magnetism, and Plastic Man (DC Comics), a mutant who can stretch since his body is comprised of plastic. These society avatars represent a new age fascination with body reach. It is no surpr…

    I'm looking for a fatal error on my theory and any help will be appreciated. So, I'm proposing that magnetic field of Saturn is important factor in creation and maintaining it's rings. For this to be possible I assume (actually: predict) that individual ring particles are fairly good electrical conductors. I also assume that Saturn's magnetic field is stable and has been for a long time (at least millions of years or so). Let's take a look at a single ring particle orbiting around Saturn. The orbit is round, located on half way between Saturn's magnetic poles (which are co-axial with rotational axis). Now, if we travel with this particle, we can observe that th…

  21. When you see a car or a bus what does it imply ? Both are objects of the same genre - used for mobility and if used frequently indicate a nervous disposition with an urge to travel. This could be a pointer to other hidden personality traits. If you fancy a house or a tree, it could presage a need for stability and order. Do real life objects mimic real life scenarios. I think so.

    For the fun of it I've been trying to conjure a way something like dragonballz and/or magic might work, from a scientific perspective. I invite you to help me hammer this out. In dragonballz a single energy force "ki" allows a person to manipulate matter in all kinds of ways. So lets explore how this might happen and what kind of science we'd have to make up to allow it to happen.... So, first the scenario: Human beings carry with them latent energy that can be summoned in a myriad of ways to perform supernatural feats such as......creating plasma, fire, water, wind, magnetism, elements and other manipulations of matter. So here's the questions we need to answer:…

    I'm sorry, I've been meaning to dig a lot deeper into physics, but something just occurred to me. The fundamental forces acting upon distant objects, quantum entanglement of particles across vast distances, is it possible that space is an illusion. Rather, is it possible that we could perceive space and distance as real on a super atomic level, and yet that the universe could be better explained if distance were not real on some subatomic level, that distance could be some sort of trick. I mean mathematically you can represent three dimensions with three coordinates. I could almost imagine some kind of singular... Thing which has three different kinds of p…
