Speculations
Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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

Consider the following in telescopic/astronomical observations in relation to the redshift: The space is stretched/expanded AND contracted/flattened. MORE is seen at once over [comparatively] a larger/greater distance, and this ALSO involves/constitutes a [comparatively] smaller distance in/of space in order to be able to see/survey such enormous distance at once. The space is stretched/expanded AND contracted/flattened. This clearly relates to and involves gravity/gravitational effect. The cosmological redshift is a gravitational redshift. The increased/increasing invisibility of the space does relate to the increased visibility of the space, and then to the increased…

I want to comment in the clear "tendency" of associating some anomalies sightings with spiritual/religious meaning, even some "paranormal" phenomena. Before Alchemia was replaced by Chemistry there was a whole mix of hard facts with many "esoteric" recipes, all of that was "simplified" when the scientific method was applied consistently in that area and Chemistry was born as a real scientific discipline. Exactly the same will happen in the area of anomalies studies, the history of science shows clearly that the world is amenable to understanding, even when anomalies had shown some things very hard to "explain" that only implies that our current knowledge of the w…

so a source tells me about Velocity x Vector x Volume as something to do with an explanaton for all activity from the macro to the micro...I'm hearing that this explanation allows for easily repicable working models and utilizes not gravity, nor any of the other three forces but yet can mimic all known activity ....comparing the quantum world and relativistic stop making sense as both are considered moving for the same reasons but with only apparent, but not actual, difference in terms of consequential activity. I tried incorporating the VxVxV into a post offering an explanation as to the "erratic " movement of a towel let go. i do not want to be accussed of hijack…

Full gravity is full distance in/of space as it is seen, felt, AND touched. (Consider the range of gravitational feeling. Just stand up and look directly downward at the fully visible Earth/ground.) This involves a balance of being and experience with fully visible space and full distance in/of space. Space is attached in relation to touch/tactile experience. Note: the Earth/ground is opaque. Look directly overhead at night. Full inertia is outer space. Notice that it is fully detached and fully removed in relation to our touch/tactile experience. Outer space is fully invisible. The direct/full/actual/real/true experience of outer space as it is entirely destroys, elimin…

Is "education" at all levels fundamentally flawed? The reality of anomalies place a big question mark in many things, independently of their ultimate nature: living entities, manifestations of higher life forms or something entirely different. One of the immediate implications of that reality is the complete failure of the educational system worldwide, it is really telling the fact that it is almost a mathematical rule that the "highest" the educational credentials of a person it will be highest the probability of that person rejecting irrationally the reality of anomalies, it is like the "system" had conditioned these people to reject that reality. What g…

The degree or kind debate goes on . Chimps prefer roasted potatoes, hinting at origins of cooking "The animals frequently carried raw food across a room to cooking devices. Some chimps even saved food for later cooking opportunities. Mental abilities such as causal reasoning, self-control and planning enabled these behaviors in chimps, as in humans, the scientists contend." https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/science-ticker/chimps-prefer-roasted-potatoes-hinting-origins-cooking?tgt=nr The authors use of the terms causal reasoning, self-control and planning is sure to raise the hackles of many a philosopher and scientist. The question of how unique human…

I know this is a 30 minute video but this guy seems to know what he is talking about and claims to be producing deuterium from regular water via electrolysis. I would really like to know what he is on about. When I was in HS I observed this same effect or at least it looked the same when I was producing chlorine gas. ( I got in trouble for it, lol) Oh well if anyone gets the chance I'd like to know what he is doing...

Non topologically equivalent orientable surfaces in R3 The classification of all closed orientable smooth surfaces in R3 is a very well known result, the genus (or equivalently its Euler characteristic EC) of the smooth surface determine completely the equivalent class, the very first cases for that classification are: the sphere (EC 2), the torus (EC 0) and the double torus (EC -2), this is an image representing the three: image-01-non-equivalent-surfaces.jpg The fact that these closed surfaces are not topologically equivalent means that there is no homeomorphism ( a one-to-one smooth application(transformation) ) in R3 that can transfor…

I was watch a documentary recently on human evolution and one of the scientist proposed that speech was likely a product of sexual selection. His theory rest on the idea that the utility of speech for activities like cooperative hunting seem dubious in it's early stages. He went on to explain that human speech more closely resembles bird song than the sounds animals make in cooperative defense or predation. By extension the suggestion is that music or rhythmic vocalizations precede coherent sentence structure. The utility then becomes attracting mates, soothing infants, and reducing aggression.

Van de Graaff device and common sense in physics …. The working principle for Van de Graaff device is analyzed again in this material: http://elkadot.com/index.php/en/books/electromagnetism/van-de-graaff-device The actual explanation contradicts all we know about triboelectricity. It is impossible for the same belt to come into contact with two identical rollers and to deliver a positive charge to a sphere and a negative charge to another sphere. Either triboelectric series, either actual explanation for VDG device is nonsense. More than that, it is impossible to transfer a same type of charge from a body carrying a smaller charge to another body carrying a greater c…

Tons of people have said that black holes completely defy physics and reroute what we have discovered as humans over physical science. Some people even state that black holes don't really exist, except that they do. People tend to think that a black hole is a point of infinite gravity, therefore creating the theory of no physics. That isn't the correct answer..... I've done math and came to the conclusion of a black hole not having infinite mass but rather something completely different. When sucked into a black hole, everything is rotating meaning that you will be going in circles around a defined point, but you will be going millions of light years per second m…

Here is a comment I wrote on a YouTube video, but I wanted to check with a science forum to see if there is any merit in my fictional imaginings of HOW THE DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT WORKS: It turns out that subatomic particles are contained within an external bubble of thicker spacetime fabric, which is temporarily borrowed from any area surrounding it within the continuum. This fabric bubble prevents particles from disintegrating in slight friction. Fabric bubble surface tension is more repulsive with certain particles, so will allow some particle types to travel directly through dense matter (consisting of particles with their own bubbles of spacetime fabric). Bubb…

This idea has little chemical/biochemical brain research behind it, and is more of a guess, and the patterns I see might be a result of confirmation bais, but consider this. Guess 1. There should be a mechanism that would cause an organism to "want to" survive and pass its pattern on to the next generation. Something that would reward the organism for "getting it right". Guess 2. Since smoking cigarettes, makes you feel good, for no particular reason, because Dopamine is released in your brain by the nicotine receptors, the release of dopamine for particular reasons may be associated with "getting it right" from a survival perspective. That is, feeling good abo…

The magnoflux spin effect is a new physics explanation of how a magnetic field will spin if activated by a voltage at right angles to that field. In classical physics the ions would be attracted straight toward the anode or cathode but the magnoflux spin effect as demonstrated in the salt water cell shows that the deflection is accompanied by an extra un-accounted for spin. Watch the effect here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dllAJzPI0LY

Because information/intelligence will evolve. Anyone who reads this would not like to evolve? The Universe is evolving and that evolution´s starting point is most likely nothing. But can we count nothing as starting point? I mean this nothing has no space,time, energy, matter, information. It´s proportions are immeasurable. Than the first step of existence is something, everything in proportion to nothing but infinitely small in proportion to the currently observed physical reality. I would say that the first physical steps of the Universe has to be very delicate ones to support the process of evolution/evolving of the system. Otherwise we would observe reorg…

I came across this video while looking into île amsterdam and came across this article. It said that scientist are doing experiments to control the weather. I couldn't find any other evidence of this anywhere else. So I am bringing this to a more experienced person to hear your thoughts. Is this guy making all of this up or are there people trying to control climate there? If they are attempting to control the weather wouldn't this be more harmful than good? (As everything human creates is lol) Here is the site this guy made http://chemtrailsplanet.net/2014/10/26/conductive-aerosols-used-in-elctromagnetic-climate-change-experiments/ So let me know what …
