Speculations

Hello! Just would like to share an idea about measuring variables in the social sciences (especially in psychology) more efficiently. E.g. let's try to measure the extroversion trait in a group (or in the population). Today our method is to construct a survey, which tries to measure the various aspects of this characteristic numerically (e.g. with the help of 1-5 scales). Then we apply a numerical model to the results, and get a final value for the extroversion quality of each individual. The problem with this approach is, that the end result is too closely attached to the actual survey and numerical model, and it cannot be generalized easily. Furthermore …

Imagine a big bang that occurs forwards and backwards in time from the origin, much like the mirror universe model. Now let's suppose both halves expand normally until later when they reach a critical point for selection as a stable half universe. One of the 2 halves fails, it begins to collapse backwards to the origin and deflate. In doing so like a balloon deflating it expelled some of its contents back through the origin (forward in time relative to the survivor). This action directly causes inflation in the remaining more stable half universe, now the whole. Some or all of the properties of the physical laws of the failed universe are also combined with th…

The electron particle must have three electric charges! (A speculation from a layman) The energy of a “static” electron particle is equal: Ee = (-e) * (-e) / (4*pi*ε0* Re) =8.187104679*10^-14 joule …… II-1 “Re” is classic radius derived by Compton wave-length of electron. Am I wrong? My friend S… will say: Yes you are, I see only two electric charges in your formula. And “electron particle” has in fact only one electric charge. Let see the physic’s unity in my formula: Joule = C * C / m *F*m^-1 = C*C / C*(U*m)^-1 *m = C*C*C^-1*U*m /m= C*U The speculation consist: 1- The third electric charge…

According to you, in future, will be possible to change DNA in order to become for example smart as Einstein and good in football as Maradona. In general we could be able to program our genes like a software?

Einstein's "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" (https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/) draws its conclusion based, at least in part, on Einstein's interpretation of simultaneity (generally, the point from which seemingly simultaneous events are observed dictates their perception, e.g., as simultaneous or "not simultaneous"). Einstein never explicitly defined simultaneity in this paper, but rather merely analogized to the arrival of a train when the hands of a clock were at a certain point. The problem that I see with this is the degree of imprecision implicit in this definition (e.g., when does "arrival" occur, how is the position of hands on a cl…

This is not a theory just a question, I was wondering about relative sizes. People often talk about what was before the Big Bang, Or what our universe is expanding into. if our universe was a virtual particle expanding into another universe just like a virtual particle that pops into existence into our universe, I was wondering how "entities" in this newly expanding universe would see the universe they were expanding into, while not realizing their universe was expanding into another universe. If from their view point a atom of "our hydrogen" was a star, how would they actually view "our" planet/stars/galaxies? what if this newly expanding universe was…

Just a question. I just seen Nobel awarded for neutrino oscillations. http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2015/press.html Wondered how this effects the missing mass in universe(dark matter) If a neutrino is now thought to have a mass of a billionth of the mass of a proton, There are 100's trillions of neutrino's passing through us every second, 100 billion per square cm, Even at these levels there must then be the mass of 100 protons passing through every square cm, But the density of space is worked out at 1 hydrogen atom per cubic cm? . But if the weight for neutrino's is correct, every cubic cm of space would always have the mass o…

Pulled over from a thread in philosophy, where this is OT I disagree that Einstein though time was a substance or essence. He held that because c must be invariant for E&M to work, if one applies that concept to a kinematic system, one finds that time and distance have to be frame dependent. The ether was a purported medium that was the preferred reference frame. That defined where the laws of physics held, and was the frame from which you would e.g. measure the speed of light. But nobody has been able to measure our speed with respect to the ether. Or that any particular reference frame is the one where the laws work. I can't make heads or tails of the diagra…

Hello the author of the PDF document is preparing a specific paper for submission to the Quantum Physics and Nuclear Engineering 2016. So this is to post in speculation for now. Can you give your expert opinion? link http://patrick.vaudon.pagesperso-orange.fr/quantique.html Stéphane

Repeating it doesn't make that statement any less wrong, and it's spectacularly wrong.

An interesting observation about time is connected to an affect in photography called motion blur, as shown below. Motion blur occurs when the shutter speed is slower than the action speed. Since the photo stops time but conserves distance, the speed difference (d/t) shows up as uncertainty in distance; motion blur. Motion blur gives the mental impression of motion even though time is stopped in the photo. This suggests time is a potential that can convert to a potential in distance. This also suggests a time to distance potential conversion may well be the basis for Heisenberg Uncertainty. We can infer the momentum of the mouse but we can't fully determine its posit…

Hello, my name is Alex. Lets assume that we have a time machine. We are going in time from p.1 to p.2. There is nothing for us (who traveling) between 1 and 2. And here are the questions: If “World line” should be continuous and shouldn’t break then [0,1] should be changed also. So, can we know anything about the past where we came from? If we assume that the future is set and world just going his way. Can the time travel accident change the normal course of time and, for example, accelerate the evolution of live? It’s just some logical questions. Thank you for your time.

Currently the science estimates that the Sun is orbiting the galactic center in a vertical oscillation (Up, down) http://www.centauri-dreams.org/wp-co..._radiation.jpg Let's assume that this is correct. Now, please see the following presentation at pg 15 http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~barnes/ast110/MilkyWay.pdf There is an image of the galactic rotation random vectors in the nearby Solar Neighborhood. It is stated: "Most stars near the Sun have random velocities of a few tens of km/sec. These stars orbit the galactic center at ~230 km/sec." As it is random, each star can move to any direction. Therefore, we can assume that some of them are moving inwards to the galactic …

Recently I found a paper about new theory. It seems a kind of digital physics. The paper is located at this link http://figshare.com/articles/Nokton_theory/1549720 Is it a good candidate to be a theory of everything ?

I recently read a column in MaximumPC magazine by Tom Halfhill ( whose day job is as an analyst at Microprocessor Report and who I've read since Byte magazine in the 80s ) on the computer simulation of the whole universe. He had the rather naïve idea that since information is encoded as particle states in modern computers, and since just to encode all the information of a single particle would require a multitude of other particles, then by necessity a computer much larger than the whole universe is required to simulate the existing universe, But then he stated something which might make the simulation possible, and whichcaught my attention. In simulation games, lik…

Is there something that drives certain people to migrate to other places (some sort of epigenetic trigger) ? Why is it that less Caucasians prefer to work in warmer climes ? Why do some people take to a life at sea ? (inspite of obvious drawbacks).. Why do some people take to flying as a profession ? Please elucidate your viewpoint.

I realize that my previous discussion (debate) here has been closed: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/91032-the-science-of-joy-and-happiness/ Therefore, you won't see me debating any longer since debating got us nowhere. I thought I could get somewhere with it. In other words, I thought that I could make my idea logically valid. But as it turns out, that does not seem to be the case. Therefore, this new topic I made gets things done the right way. That is, we are now going to talk about how I can test my idea. We are going to talk about science this time and no more debating. Overview Of My Theory To Be Tested (With New Points/Explanations) First …

Hello. Would anyone share what means could a human stem cell pass through the intestinal walls of our bowels and find their way into the blood steam ? I understand that this may not be possible as I have been told that stem cells are too big to pass through the intestinal walls however oligo elements such as the following (ions, sugars, amino acids, lipids) can pass through. Are these molecular elements larger in size than stem cells ? What I would like to know is how could it be possible not whether it can be achieved or not. Thanks

This odd thought keeps nagging at me and I have been debating whether or not I should even share this on the forum. It may even get trashed and rejected completely. Whatever happens here is cool with me, I simply need some well thought input to help me develop my own thoughts here. Where to begin is even kind of difficult. I believe there is a way to visibly see atomic geometry with the human eye. (I know this sounds weird or maybe even dumb. Just stick with me for a bit.) Atoms are so small that it is "impossible" for us to see them with tools and make visual observations. On the atomic scale we use mathematics to calculate the shape (geometry) and nature of atoms. A…

I had difficulty visualizing how mass and energy are the very same thing. This is basic relativity according to Einstein and all good physicists. Calder explains it well: At 1/10 C the energy of an approaching star is increased by 10.55% If receding it loses 9.55% of its energy.This is an average gain of .5%. This only depends on the relative speeds of observer and star.Since C doesn't vary,mass and energy are equivalent. Einstein intuited E=M before putting it to math . Paraphrased from "Einstein's World' Nigel Calder Calder stated additionally, "The rest-energy is the energy required to create matter." Matter is made of energy.

If we imagine light as composed of 7 native colors, each with a discrete "colored" photon, could we then visualize white light as the product of entanglement of these native photons? (each of which exist at different energy levels.)

This theory has been with me for a while now, in the same way we have bacteria living on our planet is it possible that we are bacteria living inside another life forms world. It sounds crazy but if you think about it bacteria spreads and evolves, it evolves like humans to become more suited to its environment. We haven't really got any idea what space is or how big or small our existence is, we could be a tiny spot of bacteria on somebody's kitchen table just waiting to be bleached away. Maybe I watch too many sci-fi movies.

There was a program on bbc1 yesterday, I cannot remember all details has I had a friend around who never stops chatting. There was a segment about some band who have managed to put all there music to dna, it was something about first turning it to binary code then coding it to C,A.T,G, IT then went on saying we could encode all human knowledge into dna. This made me wonder if we encoded all human knowledge to dna, could we then theoretically seed a planet with this encoded dna, and whether these new life forms would have all our knowledge within them, If this was possible in our future to seed another planet with this dna, would they follow the same path as hu…

Please view the attached file : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I give the following equation, as the reason for calling the value of 1 {Quantity one} as the mother and Sum of all possible Rational Numbers. http://www.wincowalker.com/ An Equation created and proved from basics by me [ Thomas Walker ] in 1998. The greatness of this relationship is the fact that it shows that number 'one'1is the sum of sums of all possible inverse powers of all possible positive integers that come after 1. That is, from ‘2’ to ‘ infinity’.
