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. Hi. Thought of using the politics forum, but perhaps is safer here... All the fight of rebel/mercenaries/fighting groups filling the news, is it in pursuit/dream of some type of living ? Like waking up at seven, in an airconditioned house, birds singing by the backyard fruit trees; taking a shower with abundant clean water, having a good coffee, prepare a good breakfast for the kids, watching them walking away to the school bus, compliment the wife under the new burkha, helping her to make a supermarket shopping list, lend her your new car and she drives away for shopping... Get out to mow the very green lawn and tend the garden, pause for the morning pray…

  2. A body with relative motion (transitional not vibrational motion) to the Earth's frame of reference, got going in a certian direction by having a force applied to it, different than the forces being applied to its surroundings. This force had a vector quality associated with it. A magnitude, and a direction. Momentum is thusly outfitted. But kinetic energy is stripped of its direction and is a scalar quantity only. Just an amount, with no direction. There might be definitional reasons for this, but my speculation here is that the two, kinetic energy and momentum are related, and are not unrelated concepts. That is, when energy is added to an object or mass, by a for…

  3. Thermal Expansion due to energy in the nucleus: Energy/friction of nucleus causes heat/repulsive/expansive force that pushes against electrons (or otherwise smallest stable particle in the atom [consistent with gravity in general]). The position an electron lies in orbit clouds is due to the balance between this thermal expansion, and the attractiveness of the nucleus. There are many implications from this (and I'm still looking to see if certain tests have been performed, with their results). Avoiding other implications (for now), to the topic of energy and gravity. I believe gravity, as observed, described, and commonly understood, is Not true attractiveness, …

  5. S=ct/4 S - distance between observer and rotating object c - speed of light t - time of period of rotation of the object S is minimal distance till object when its kinetic energy completely is gravitational. When object moves to observer it radiates something at c, then the observer reflects the something and when the object is already escaping from the observer and recieving the something from the observer then gravitational interaction exists between them.

    Now I made up a formula that might be mathimatically correct. This formula is about the creation of Gravity. This formula makes perfect sense and might solve some problems that can't be easily answered. Here it goes: V ÷ e = f = G Let's use the earth for example: 1.08321×1012 km3 ÷ 4,300 °C = 251909302.3 F in N = G So we use the earths Volume and divide that by it's Temperature to find out that this doesn't make a lot of sense. On a chart it does, so im not really sure if I can say this is correct or not. You guys can argue about it. I have a bold feeling, if it is correct but it might be possibly wrong... I thought about, the earth's volume and how t…

  7. Posted today 31st March 2015 Through the General theory of Relativity ,produced by Einstein , we have learned that MASS produces a distortion in space in a proportion to that amount of mass involved. As other fundamental forces have opposites . Eg Electrical positive charge has negative charge as an opposite . Magnetic fields appear to have North and South poles as opposites. If Gravity is a fundamental attraction towards , caused by a certain type of distortion in space as Einstein indicated. ( A ). What is a possible opposite force or repulsion ? ( B ). How can these counter distortions be achieved ? ( C) . Can Centrifugal forces be utilised…

  8. I have written my understanding of gravity into an essay , here is the abstract, "Velocity of an object can affect the gravitational acceleration. Black hole is an example where the light can form a circular orbit in the strong gravitational field. This light is moving around that causes the observer where is not in the path of the light orbit see the black hole as total darkness. In addition, when there is a high velocity of an object has been interacting with the gravitational acceleration, the object is in the micro or zero gravity relative to massive object therefor the gravitational acceleration does no longer exist." You can download the complete essay here …

  9. In classical physics it is assumed that galaxies obtained their rotation at time of big bang creation. However, researchers in the 1990's established that galactic clusters could be formed by a strong magnetising field which is surely producing their spiral spins.

    Can anything fall into the Sun? Or does it burn up and just get loss in the solar wind emanating from the Sun? Maybe a planet wouldn't burn up on entry, but what is the minimum size require for an object to penetrate the Sun's surface?

  12. Hello All, Recently I came across the writings of Paul Eno, famous paranormal researcher,about his experience of how shamans can bring "dead" from another worlds. Here is the link: http://www.newenglandghosts.com/articles/backfromthedead.html And here is the article: "Nearly four decades of "in the trenches" research has led me far away from the two-dimensional, 19th century vision that most people cling to when it comes to the paranormal. For example, I don't believe that ghosts are spirits of the dead. I don't believe in death at all. When I deal with the paranormal, and ghosts in particular, I experience a vast "multiverse" in which we (bodies and all) function on m…

  13. If climate change is really a serious thing, then the biggest barrier is making it clear to people how series it is. I was reading up on the raspberry pi and learnt that it can record temperatures, so then i thought if we had every person recording the temperature with just a raspberry pi, surely thatd be useful for research or something? maybe temperature is not really that usefull... but, if you could get a good few million people recording some sort of data on our climate, what would be most useful for research? if any? thanks

    First introducing the concept of Generating force from nothing If we have two opposite equal forces that affects an object so that the forces does not make displacement , i.e. No work is done then the forces can increase continuously without limit and without any external force just by itself and from nothing!! This is the concept of generating force from nothing. Proof: This experiment shows that the above concept is true, it uses the idea of canceling one force of the two mutual attraction forces between magnets : 1, 2 , 3 ,4 are identical magnets, 5 is an ideal spring , that conserve energy without loss ,the distance between magnets 1 and 2 equals dist…

  15. Let's say I've witnessed an event to where I've seen general relativity and special relativity falsified. Knowing that these theories are false, how is that useful? Would that mean there is another theory if not paradigm shift to discover? At the same time, however, I continue to believe in the paradigm of thought that anything can be mathematically described; however, the mathematical universe hypothesis is not absolutely valid.

    A black hole can be made of an infinite amount of matter. So is it possible we live in a black hole? I think we might. The universe as we know it is constantly expanding. Or is it just a trick the distortion of space plays on our eyes? We could have fallen inside a black hole a long time ago. Way before the sun was even made. And here we are now, hurling around this gigantic black hole bigger than any super massive black hole recorded. As we gradually get closer to the center then space stretch's Exponentially. Causing the illusion we are getting farther from everything. If this were true then there. Could be millions of universes in a multiverse. What are your th…

    Reposting without link to blog. So, I wrote hypothesis which consider our reality as emergent phenomenon of more fundamental entity. The hypothesis (hypothesis of emergent reality, ER-hypothesis) makes at least one prediction, so it can be experimentally verified. Goal of the ER-hypothesis is find way how General Relativity, quantum mechanics and Standard Model can be unified in scope of one theory, with one point of view. I think such way was found and goal of the hypothesis is achieved. Equation which unifies GR and QM was not found; otherwise I would name it as ToE. I know I can make mistakes. It’s actually my second ToE-type theory, but its first I decided it is wo…

    Surface tension and uplift The bodies denominated as “floaters” below are cylindrical bodies standing in an upright position in a liquid whose density represents half the density of the liquid, unless otherwise stated (fig. I, II, III and IV have been attached). The basis of the following observation is the easily consolidable fact that a floater in an upright position in a liquid is additionally uplifted when reducing the surface tension of the liquid (see fig. I). This specifically means that a floater standing in an upright position in water is uplifted when adding surfactants (tensides), as shown in a real experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GQ2F99x5po …

    suppose we have disk fixed to its edge a string in which a mass is hung, when the disk rotates the mass will start rotating as well in an opposite direction of the disk, if the disk rotates clockwise the hung mass will rotate counterclockwise and vice versa, i tried this by myself and anyone can try it by holding a string and rotating it around yourself the mass fixed to it will rotate in an opposite direction , if we suppose instead of the disk the earth itself rotates, that will lead in "every object hung in a string will rotate due to earth's rotation around its axis!!" this rotation will be slight and will disappear at the equator . when we rotate the disk the mas…

If we were to take a straight line going from PLUS INFINITY to MINUS INFINITY. And we were of sufficient dexterity or might so as to CURL either end so as to join .. CURL. ( PLUS INFINITY to MINUS INFINITY ) Would it make the most Ginormous Circle , the universe has ever, experienced.? Would this liberate the ultimate value of Pi ? also What happens if the reverse of this process is attempted ? Mike

  23. To my own observation, every object has a main particle in the very center. Change the direction of that main particle magnetic pole and it will cause a chain reaction to the rest. That object will then push against the pole of the earth or gravity. I also think that this will only be temporary then the main particle pole will switch back creating the object to return to its original pole. Changing the pole of an object will have to be used by the opposite flow of electricity.

    In 1947, George Gamow published a book called "One, Two, Three … Infinity". His book became available a short time after my father's discharge from the Army following WWII. My father had a strong interest in Science Fiction and sometimes bought books mentioned in the books he read. As the war had been ended via the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan and credited to Einstein's E=mc^2, he had an interest in understanding what it was all about. At any rate, he purchased Gamow's book. I don't think my father had much of an understanding of the presentation as he never talked about it. I was about nine years old when I first saw that book. At the time, I was interested in what t…
