Speculations

I was wondering if there is anything in particle or theoretical physics that explicitly says that it's impossible for a particle to travel faster than the speed of light. Is it still in the realm of possibility? What if particles had no other option other than to go faster than the speed of light? Could a warp bubble form around it, until some superluminal friction pushed it back below the speed of light? Perhaps the excess energy would be displaced in the form of an increased amplitude gravitational wave? This is for a science fiction universe but I promised myself I would at least keep it plausible. I was hoping to use this concept for a propellantless prop…

@All, If an element can absorb it's own electrons,I would say it's not my concern but it does expalin how 2 molecules can provide the material for a number of gases in our atmosphere. And I keep hearing prove it. It takes more than a couple of posts. An example is that glucose has the same molar mass as 6 formaldehyde molecules. And yet glucose can release energy. Why ? And I can't prove why. Have no need but an element increasing it's density to conserve it's momentum could be one explanation. But it is not an accepted principle in physics that matter can conserve it's own momentum and various examples can not be cited as this is considered being all over th…

Swansont, You can delete my account if you want. Dr. Pan at WKU knows what I think. Still, not sure if conserving momentum by absorbing some electrons would allow the nuclei of gaseous molecules in the upper atmosphere to avoid catastrophic entropy due to the lack of energy/matter where there is little pressure and the temperature is -40 C or more. Can't prove it and it's not my problem. But if it can reduce co2, don't care any more. Have gotten the message that doing nothing is preferable to trying something Why I am proud to be an American disabled Veteran. I love living in a country where having imitative is frowned upon. By the way, there is one …

I was watching an old UFO video with Bob Lazar and he kept on about a stable isotope of element 115, I am not asking you to verify his claims but it got me to thinking about what the properties if such an element might be. Is there any way to predict the properties of such an element? Density? Chemical? Hardness? I'm not saying there is a stable isotope of that element but can we predict the properties of it if it occurred? Would the properties be the same if it wasn't stable? I have heard of "islands" of stability, I never thought they meant totally stable but more like U-238 or something.

@All, Not that it matters, I have asked someone to consider CO2 becoming negatively ionized as one of the driving forces behind how gases occur in our atmosphere. I did explain specifically what I mean by this. With negative ionization, it would probably take a physicist to prove it. The person I contacted, while they have my same interest, coal emissions, they might find it worth consideration. And with something like this, only physical testing will determine anything. And with this, is it an affront to mainstream science ? It's not. Also, one thing I am aware of is that I am not in school and as it turns out, some scientists do pursue research projects. Of course…

@All, I have contacted a Dr. Nee at Western Kentucky University (he is the Dept. Head for Atmospheric Sciences) and have asked him if he would like to become involved in an experiment to try and demonstrate how solar radiation breaks down molecules. And while the upper troposphere, the tropopause and lower stratosphere are quite cold and have a vacuum that is above 29 hg's, it might be possible. I let Dr. Nee know that I believe that water molecules in our atmosphere become positively charged due to solar radiation. And when the lack of pressure and heat type energy place gaseous molecules in a negative state, that positively charged water molecules and negatively ion…

Man could be thought of as a mini matter-wave. This wave exists throughout his life and includes events like marriage. Man interacts with a myriad number of members of the opposite sex but his sex drive prefers to "collapse" at a singular possibility. This is natural selection. This is necessary for his survival (something we learnt from the great apes). Is then the bond of marriage sacrosanct ?

What proof is there other than gravitational lensing during a solar eclipse? Consider: a) all the examples of 'gravitational lensing' occuring in pictures taken by hubble are obscured depictions of it, and none show with a decent certainty that gravity is responsible; it could be just as likely that the lensing was caused by light diffracting as it travels through a medium (i.e., space dust). b) a picture of a black hole where light is lensing dramatically due to gravity would be sufficient enough evidence to close the books on this case; unfortunately, Hubble nor anything/anyone else has ever taken a picture of such a thing - every picture you've seen of a black hole …

one single eternal moment that contains inifinite possibilites? could the atom itself represent this? the nucleus standing for the moment and the electron representing the infinite possibilities?

Man is a 4D object that manifests itself in the space time continuum. Each cell in a person could be thought to be a "potential" and an aggregate of potentials defines a person.....his personality etc. Hence man although perceived to be independent of space is not quite so. This is my proposition.....

I was thinking about the now supported imprinted brain theory, which shows that autistic and psychotic conditions are at least somewhat opposed, with autism spectrum conditions resulting from a paternal bias in gene expression, and psychotic or mood disorders from a maternal bias. I wondered whether most variability can be explained by graded characteristics with an optimal inbetween, an optimal point which may covary with the individual's other traits or his environment. For instance, purely anti-autistic selection might have eliminated autism. Instead, perhaps nature wants the right mix of autism and psychosis, and our variability results from nature's inability to g…

This is something that had been studied by sociologists of science: 1-The Plight of the Obscure Innovator in Science: http://www.nih.gov/about/director/ebiomed/history1.htm " Given these diverse roadblocks against obscure innovators, the surprising thing may well be that some unrenowned innovators, in science at least, have escaped the struggle, not that so many haven't. This note urges a systematic historical study to estimate the incidence of resistance. If such a survey shows that obscurity plus originality often lead to temporary or permanent oblivion, the case for structural reforms in science will become immeasurably stronger than it is now." 2- The Scie…

The notions that we accept today as "verified" by scientific methods are really amazing and we know that these notions had "evolved" with time. The very fact that these notions or worldviews had evolved with time implies that they are really not "definitive", they can change as previous notions had changed. These changes can be just small "adjustments" or could be very deep modifications of some of them, in that case we'll have a "revolution" in our world concepts. The history of science shows that it takes time for some notions to be of general acceptance. All these groundbreaking ideas always found strong resistance from the established social organizations of …

Lets assume we as humankind can, not only wormhole the spacecraft, but planets and moons. So, what would've happened to Earth if we pulled Europa to be Mars's third moon? What if we moved Titan in between Mars and Jupiter, setting it to orbit the Sun just like a planet. What would've happened to us? I'm also interested on how many of those small moons we can make to orbit Mars, Earth and/or Titan? Such as Iapetus,Rhea,Enceladus,Tethys and Dione. I'm interested in this cause, if we moved those filled with ice moons closer to the sun, we might use our flaming torch to melt it down. If we at first, travel them through portal like structures next to Venus. We can heat it up, …

OK I've been skeptic about sharing this idea because as far fetched as it is I think I might, Just MIGHT, be on to something if this hasn't already been proposed/discovered, and therefore I claim all credit to this idea if it is original, if not then I need someone to slap me with a newspaper and tell me to do my science homework. So, I was thinking one day and I thought "Hmm.... if there is a point where the gravitational pull of a black hole is exactly equivalent to the speed of light (Event Horizon), would there then be photons orbiting the black hole for eternity and never falling past that point? Well I thought this out and if I'm correct photons are too tiny for tid…

EDIT: Not cold fusion, just general fusion Hello everybody, i would like to introduce my project on Fusion. Now i have an on-going funding campaign but it appears I'm not allowed to post the link for it as pointed to me by mods, but i will keep making posts about it so you can watch how my project goes. Cold Fusion is basically nuclear fusion at room temperature. Now for all you scientists out there, i'm certain there will be skeptics about Cold Fusion, many argue that it can never happen based on a couple of reason, but a couple of designs have been made, the Polywell for example. The type i would like to start with is the Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor, and the Polywel…

BLACK HOLES- AN ALTERNATE VIEW The following expresses a different view as to how black holes come into existence and what may cause their demise. First a few statements upon which this thesis is built. 1.If the speed of light was instantaneous all events in the universe would be visible from everywhere. No red shift or blue shift would be apparent. The past wouldn't be visible and the recording of distent events in the universe would exist only on paper. The structure of space would be overwhelmed with chaos. 2. The speed of light has to have a fixed velocity so that different frames of reference can interact with each other and …

WYSIWIG stands for what you see is what you get. This applies to computer display monitors. i gather.... Does it apply to humans as well ? Jack Ma. founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba.com says that small people rely on brains rather than brawn. In physics. small people have less mass hence can exert less force, hence cannot "throw their weight around", Hence the concept of the big bully. Also those people who are more attractive can use this quality quite aggressively eg. Marilyn Monroe, Hitler etc. Ugly people are deprived of this weapon. Hence the mind becomes the body and vice versa. Phenotype and Genotype become one and the same. What…

I'm so goddamn convinced of this and I have no idea why. I guess what I'm asking here is: have you considered the possibility that everything that is happening has already happened over and over again infinitely, and will continue to do so forever?

@All, I will be banned from this forum and that is okay. It is funny though. To live in America and to have served honorably in the U.S. military but not to have the right to my opinion or free speech. I find it interesting that saying that fluctuating a vacuum is not explaining how an experiment can be performed. It is an attribute that does need to be met. This kind of leaves me wondering how America is leading the world. Then again, I wonder why the moderators of this forum have imperialistic titles attached to themselves. In role playing games, that is not unusual. But in a scientific forum, it is rather odd that titles are used that are not associated with sc…

Swansont, I am currently working on one project which if successful would allow me to have mainstream scientists involved in my experiment. I am well aware of what is required for a proper demonstration. One of the requirements is that the materials used need to be able to with stand -50° C., maybe a little more or a little less. This is to replicate the upper troposphere. Also, the vacuum in the upper troposphere is above 29 hg's. Currently, all or most vacuum generators rely on wind speed or the venture effect and have not demonstrated creating a vacuum in excess of 29 hg's with a single motion expanding the volume of the cylinder. If you consider the area aroun…

This post will probably upset some people. This is the speculation part of your forum. It is at present considered that a CO2 molecule has a double covalent. I tend to doubt this. I see no reason why an O2 molecule would go from being ionic to covalent. Why I suspect this is because in photosynthesis and the upper troposphere H2O, CO2, CH2O and O2 are found. Myself, I do not understand why the hydrogen elements would be needing to separate from an oxygen molecule just to reform with it to allow for formaldehyde or glucose. Maybe someone can explain this ?

Hi folks! I'm in the process of putting together a single syllable universal model (theory of everything) based off of a discovery I recently made. I have made a brief video in which I did my best to explain the very, very basics of the experiment I am building my work upon, Moment Theory. The experiment is relative simply based upon this quote found in the back of Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" where he states -- [see "Notes Chapter 2." The Elegant Universe. Boston: NOVA, 2003. 390-91. Print.] “When light travels through a substance such as air or glass its speed is decreased in roughly the same way that a rock dropped from a cliff is dragged to a s…

Hi, I'd like to present you a new theory of evolution, which explans the phenomenon of evolution rather be self-references than by the competition, as the standard Darvins' theory does. The text is here: http://zbyszek.evot.org/ebs I'd be pleased by your comments. best, Zbigniew Lisiecki

If vacuum energy can be increased or decreased by changing the angular momentum of the spinning flux-current field by applying a voltage at right angles to that field then it will have nothing to do with electron particles which only tie the voltage reference point; but be a spinning volume of 3D power existing in unit time. Thus [V*ICos Ø]dt or energy in Watt-seconds/cubic metre will define a unit of magnoflux vacuum energy. As the spin increases per unit volume then the temperature goes up. For a demonstration take a look at
