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.

    Most will disbelieve this theory, however, as the world is not flat, the sun is not a ball of gas. The sun is a structured atom similar in structure to a phosphorous atom. Everything is relative. There is a molten ocean of gases on the surface of this radioactive isotope. When they part, and you see the surface of the star, it's black. These are called sunspots. What is known as a black hole is already there, the nucleus of the atom. As with any structured atom, most of the space within is empty, consisting of several shells of electrons, with the outer shell being the exterior of the atom. The atmosphere of the star is a composition of the gasses found heading to…

  5. Hi all. I am looking for a graphing software that can plot parallelogram law summations the way the diagram in the link below shows. As you can see the orbits traced with this technique begins to precess on its own, that is, without the need for an additional central force. I want to obtain the rate of precession per revolution based on the distance [inverse square]. Does anyone know how to obtain this information? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tFDkItTrHWY/Ug-bh0x_NRI/AAAAAAAAE6U/PKx81419uBA/s1600/Kepler's+Second+Law_4.bmp PS.

    I was just introduced to the concept of travelling in time through DNA lineage(you occupy the body of a person you are related to in another time period) when a friend explained the premise of the game Assassins Creed. This concept identifies a principal of time travel that I'm not sure I've heard defined concisely. It is evident that neither superman nor the crew of the enterprise would have achieved travelling backwards in time by accelerating in a forward direction. If time displacement were achievable it would require a substantial means of coordinating a path to the desired location. The dna model provides a mathematically definable context to analyse time travel fro…

    I have observed that all matter spins. Therefore, I am suggesting that the spinning action is a prerequisite for all matter. Can matter exist without spin? The duality of light suggests that as light travels through space, it is creating matter as it goes and then the matter disappears after the light passes. Under this hypothesis - aetheric pressure replaces gravity fields and magnetic fields.

    I owe the mediators and forum an apology. To provide some context to the frustration I have projected at those attempting to answer my questions I have been attempting to absorb the mathematics of physics for approxmately 5 years. This has been hampered by a thought experiment exercise I constructed 20 years ago that has become a mental reflex that has till now confused my comprehension of the complexities of standard equations. The exercise made absorbing information from worded physics definitions more practical by providing me a tool to rule out or differentiate divisables but has only been obstructive to my developing understanding of math and it's appropriate languag…

  12. Could we apply the uncertainty principle to any quasi-stable system like the Universe ? This is a moot question. We can't "freeze" energy transfer and we can't "freeze" time. When we observe a system undergoing entropic changes we actually increase the entropy of the system by the energy involved in perceiving the change, the same applies to time. i.e. moving clocks slow down time (resistance to the flow of time increases) and "time entropy" increases. Could then the Uncertainty principle that fits the micro and nano world have larger implications? I wonder.

    Science agrees that lava pushed through the surface of the crust by gas, is the process for volcano's. This seems to suggest that the lava is already in place/in motion, or that perhaps the lava is on escape from the outer/inner core of the planet.This view doesn't prove itself, since the outer core is said to be made of molten metals (2) and the inner core of molten metal (1). The lava eruption however is proven to be igneous rock. Safe then to hypothesis, that Lava does not come from the core's. So either it's everywhere and self sustaining, waiting for a gaseous release, or it is formed through a process. I would think that it is formed, perhaps by a gaseous releas…

  14. The Earth has been slowing its rate of rotation ever since the Moon was formed or captured. I have seen day lengths talked about as short as 5 hours originally, and now it is 24 hours and still getting longer. More energy and momentum has been lost than ever can be accounted for going to tidally accelerate the Moon (that accounts for around 20%) so in my opinion the Earth's magnetic field could account for some of the remainder. The magnetic field is a type of electromagnet from the production of a current, currents are known to have a resistance and hence heating, heating is a form of energy loss. Well mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy and heat he…

  15. Suppose we have a flask with simple chemical compounds and we constantly provide external energy so that random chemical reactions occur. If we continue to provide external energy then not only chemical equilibrium will not occur, but instead more and more reactions will occur and the system will thrive and become more and more complex. Lets say that our system is not a flask, but primordial earth and the external source of energy is solar energy coming from the sun. In this case, equilibrium would be avoided, and the system would continue to thrive. Through the eons, in a chaos of chemical reactions, only those with some kind of repeatability and periodicity will not lea…

  16. Through an analysis of the different aspects of the one dimension of time, I've discovered unified string (u21s19) theory. I've collected much 'indirect evidence' to support it (in a 21-page paper) and I've found that this theory allows us to predict the characteristics of 'true Earth-like exoplanets' (those with advanced civilizations in their past, present, or future). I presented a poster at the NASA Conference Missions for Exoplanets: 2010-2020 held in Pasadena, CA on April 21-23, 2009 and it can be found at: http://exep.jpl.nasa...oMtgPosters.cfm The poster format works well for Internet forums and has been copied below (pardon the font problems).

  17. "The Big Bang (supermassive white hole) ~13.82 billion years ago was the result of a supermassive black hole in another universe. Our universe & that SBH share the same event horizon. That SWH & SBH formed an Einstein-Rosen bridge (wormhole).

  19. There is no such thing as time. Time exists only because there is a witness to "The Reaction" (the continuation of energy changing form). Without a witness to the reaction, the reaction would happen instantaneously. The illusion of time, is the rate we comprehend the reaction. In the same way that a movie camera works, our brains take snapshots of the surrounding environment and makes our comprehension seem to flow at a continuous rate (what we call time). One might then ask, “Well how much time passes between each snapshot?” There is no amount of "time" in between the snapshots, there is only “the amount of the reaction” that takes place before we take the next snap…

Me first: Yes we will have natural numbers in 2-D world. But probably will not develop multiplication or division.

    I read of the theoretical values of the virtual particle's energy in space being orders of magnitude higher than what is observed. Virtual particles have less energy when in a confined space, such as the narrow plate gap in the casimir effect, with the energy of a particle pair lowered when in the close proximity of matter, due to limitations of the wavelength spectrum. But what limits their energy in space to the low readings they seem to have? If the only material around a particle pair is other particle pairs, could a self-limiting effect take place, giving the low value seen? What would happen if there is only one pair, and thus make up the entire universe? Without …

I assume that spiral galaxy fully obey to Newton low of universal gravitation. The answer had already been given by Newton: "Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points." In other words, every point mass (star for example) attracts every other point mass (another star) by a force which is called gravity force. Therefore, the equivalent gravity force vector …
