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.

  2. My name is Arieh Sher. I've recently thought of a new theory regarding the structure of the Universe. I call it, the "Pivot theory". Basically, the Pivot theory is very simple. The theory claims that the whole visible Universe has a ring shape thatis rotating around a Black Hole which has an enormous mass. I refer to this Black Hole as the Pivot. One of the biggest unsolved issues in cosmology is the rotation curve flattening of stars in Galaxies. This shape of the curve is contradicting classic mechanics. Cosmologists suggested the existence of the Dark Matter as an explanation for the curve flattening. My main claim is that the same mass of the dark matter (calcul…

    We have 2 hemispheres and these two sides of the brain responsible for different functions. The left hemisphere observing and responsible to do an action, the right hemisphere feel an emotion and responsible for the intuition. Each moment our brain has to choose which hemisphere it wants to use (our goal is to learn to balance it). The left side is realistic, logical, observing, analysing. Because of the analysing skill we built here one part of our personality which is the Ego. As we learn, experience and grow up our Ego is growing with us. (it is growing easier than the soul cause it is rational and we sense more rational things than emotional or fantasy) It is our so…

  5. Hello welcome to the "Whatever Theory" thread. My theory is that same species, from same geographic locations, posses certain colors and color ranges that are unique to their particular species. I believe this to be true for everything in the natural world including, all sea life, animals and insects, people, fruit and vegetables, plants and flowers, bacteria and cancer cells and may even be true with things that do not have genetic genes such as gems and minerals. I have coined this term already as (Genetic Color Code) or (GCC), but if any one here as a better idea of what it should be called, or if a term for this already exists then please let me know. I am developin…

    Earth’s gravity was weaker. Moon was closer to Earth and it was weakening our gravitional energy field. If too many things resists against gravity, its gets weaker. Gravity has a distance based on its power. Stronger gravity has greater distance. Every atom has a gravitional field. You pull a fly with gravitional force and you pull dusts, water, paper with gravitional force too. Gravity is something about magnetic field. Positive and negative pulls each other. Gravity is neutral, bcause of that its pulls everything but its not strong as positive or negative power. Gravity comes from neurons, magnetic energy comes from proton electron. When moon is near to Earth it pul…

    I've heard so much how the universe started with the big bang. I contend that there was no beginning to the universe - it has always been here, always will be, and always changing. The Universe is not expanding, - the Known Universe may be. The known universe is everything we can see with Hubble - a sphere of about 45 billion light years. I believe galaxies in the known universe started with the big bang. Ive yet to discover where the center of the big bang took place, ive done a little research on this and id love to hear if anyone has information on this topic. Also I think time dilation is false - that time is a completely different thing than any of our measuring …

    In a very concrete sense evolution as a mechanism "discovered" many things: locomotion, flying, vision, etc. And ultimately it discovered "intelligence" with us. The laws that govern Evolution very likely are common in any form of Life, not necessarily only in Life based on carbon. So in the same way that evolution "discovered" "intelligence" with us it could had "discovered" other things that for us could only be produced by other intelligent beings: like moving freely in empty space, moving faster than any of our fastest vehicles, airplanes or rockets, maybe Evolution "discovered" some physical laws that we are unaware of. Some people had tried to see any "…

There are of course as many different ideas about aliens as there are people who hold these ideas but they seem to revolve around a few basic ideas. Super beings Super technology being wielded by either super beings or regular beings Machine civilizations that either include or do not include biological beings Please feel free to list your own fav if it differs from what I have listed.

    I haven't done much research on the string theory or any of the other theories for that matter. I just wanted to wrap my head around one particular part, the very, very, very beginning. Not just the beginning of our universe, but the beginning of everything. I tried to deduce it logically using philosophy and created something that was parallel geometrically. I know it has no basis in theoretical physics. Feel free to rip it to shreds but if you could I would really appreciate it if someone articulated a similar perspective in an established theory. ---- The Omniverse at the most universal perspective is both zero and infinity, it is Nothing and it is Everything.

    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.

    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…

  21. 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 ?

  22. 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 …

  25. 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…
