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. Ok how do I explain what I see fluidly in my head? Where to begin relative to current understanding? The wave is the more basic concept of all that exists, positive and negative balancing out to equal practically nothing yet achieving something thru separation both equalling the opposite of each other whose net equals zero. Existence would seem to naturally move towards a point of non existence or zero again. This "movement" could be perceived as time or the change towards equilibrium/nothingness. Matter and energy are interchangeable because they are different states of organization of this wave function that composed what we perceive as existence. The expansion of the c…

  2. The question of your thread has been answered. If you missed it: yes, it was moderation. You broke the rules. This thread is now also closed. How conveniently accurate. Since the questions I came here for HAVE NOT RECIEVED a fair examination I will supply them one more time hoping data will be supplied rather than pedantic ridicule. Strange wishes me to believe that atomic particles do not reflect or refract. I didn't state sub-atomic particles reflect and refract. I suggested that a different quark aggregation to a nucleon would stabilise an atomic element associated to electron-neutrinos that would only have the capacity to refract and not reflect. No substanti…

  6. There is a famous picture of President and Mrs. Kennedy minutes before he was shot in Dallas that was put on the cover of TIME magazine for the 50th anniversary of the assassination in 2013. It is a very odd picture showing Jackie waving, but her arm doesn't look right in the picture. Is it her left arm or her right? Researchers seem to be evenly divided about that, but having some background in Anatomy, I believe the correct answer is: neither. Please take a look at it and render an opinion. But, could we please limit it to Anatomy students and teachers? I wish only to discuss this on the basis of anatomy. Thank you. http://www.oswaldinthedoorway.blogspot.com/20…

    Mr. Astrophysicist, on 22 Feb 2015 - 11:58 PM, said: One goes nowhere the other stays somewhere. Mr. Astrophysicist, on 22 Feb 2015 - 11:58 PM, said: Agreed. The point of the question is which cannot occur as a principal. An object that cannot be accelerated is nowhere and therefore removes itself paradoxically. An object that can't be moved can still be approached and therefore provides space to be examined. I believe this is the fundamental paradox that illustrates Occam's Razor not only as sound scientific method but as a fundamental principal of nature and is the most applicable to concisely defining gravitation and unifying relativity to quantum p…

    The basics of time travel is that, if moving far enough from Earth you will cause time to go by much faster around you but not affect you as much. If this is possible, than we would be required to move nearly to the speed of light. Since it has been scientifically proven that it is possible to travel to the near breaking point of light's barrier, we are most likely able to travel FORWARDS in time if supplied with the massive amount of energy required. Traveling BACK in time, however, isn't possible by current science or mathematics. If we were to increase the amount of gravity that acts upon us AND increase speed to the breaking pointy of the speed of light, it woul…

  9. Recently, a friend of mine told me about Quantum Mind Power. I found it interesting and have researched it a bit and found many interesting facts. For example, I discovered that it’s really a way which can transform the whole process of how we perceive things and therefore experience situations. It appears there are those that believe that we can actually create our experiences, in every detail. Any thoughts?

    I wasn't going to post this as a thread but instead of finding a way to forget the idea I've found one that might be plausible. I would have posted this in the Speculation thread but thought it at least deserved some critical review. The proposal is that nuclear detonation in a gravitational FoR produces a dark-matter micro-bh by transferring charge to mass. Rather than provide speculations regarding kinetic energy, time dilation and charge I would propose the following thought experiment? What would be produced if a falling nuclear detonation were entirely magnetically contained? I take no offense if this is moved to the Speculation thread

    A Steady State Universe A Steady State Universe is possible to hypothesise, but requires: 1. The elimination of some currently held hypotheses, which become manifest as contrary to; 2. The acceptance of a finite set of new hypotheses. These new hypotheses are as follows: There are two fundamental particles of matter, the proton and the electron. Each fundamental particle of matter has an antiparticle which is distinguished by having an opposite charge and properties associated with this charge. Outside of this, the question of type (matter or antimatter) is entirely relative to the type of the fundamental particles of the observer. There is no …

    Hi I had an idea that might interest some people here, and I would like to have some comment on that idea. There is a possibility that someday we will find a comet heading to earth and we will try to deviate it so it miss the earth. There are many senario's proposed, but mine is so simple: Take a big mass of nuclear fuel and crash it on one of the pole of the comet. Make it crash at a speed so the mass will penetrate between 10 and a 100 meter. The nuclear mass is subcritical so it wont detonate, but massive enough to come to a temperature of around 1000 Celsis. The interior of the comet is mostly water ice and the water will turn into steam that will exit by the en…

  14. I think the term ASTROLOGY as been polluted by modern horoscopes which I have no time for, One astronomical phenomena that comes to mind is the star of Bethlehem(super nova?) This event played a big part in the christian world. We do not yet understand our universe enough to yet say that Astrology plays no part in human events, We know the sun does. Planets/stars emit fields of energies which bombard earth everyday, do these effect us in ways we yet do not understand or have forgotten? Astrology as played a large role in shaping humanity. It should not be dismissed now because we think we have all the answers.

  15. Introduction As we watch various science fiction shows, sitcoms, and as I could name on to infinite possible activities as stated, you've all heard the famous theory of time, or perhaps has been mentioned at least once in our lives: Time travel. Now, time travel is not as sophisticated as it looks or perhaps sound. Actually, it is pretty simple. While to some, traveling through time, or perhaps back to the past or into the future, is somewhat filled with paradoxes and might just knock you out, is very easy to get past and explain this. Speed of Light While some argue that travelling at the speed of light is an important essence to traveling through time, and othe…

    This paradox is pretty confusing, or is it? The grandfather paradox simply explains that, if we kill our grandfather(before sex), we would simply live on. But wait, what happens to the grandfather? To me, my hypothesis is the grandfather will disappear and another one will appear. But what happens if we didn't kill him, but instead we killed all his sperm? That means we wont exist, that means a new one will appear right. But to my opinion, no. My hypothesis of what probably will happen is the old grandfather will still be living, but another grandfather will be born into the world. Why? Because the grandfather hasn't died so he won't disappear but he also can't make love …

    Introduction Are we already travelling at the speed of light; But in frames? For instance, as I move my hand or perhaps walk towards a friend of mine, the future, perhaps me already there with my friend, is actually a frame of reality. Picture this, a flip book, and as you flip through it extremely quickly, but you stop suddenly; and then flip to the end of the book, you would see a future frame; and that is what this theory is about. You can travel at the speed of light but the frames could go haywire and burn out. But perhaps, we already are; this theory has possibly infinite frames, as we are going throughout our lives. For instance, if you're sitting on a chair, ther…

    Hey guys. I guess I'm wrong with this random theory about time, but since everyone here is smarter than I am I was wondering if anyone could see if this theory is wrong, or right. Here it goes. I have been thinking about time for a while now, and how it works. I kept thinking about how time is affected by speed & gravity. Anyway the theory is that time might be the limitation of how fast everything moves, and there might even be a time barrier. With the 'time barrier' I am referring to c, as nothing is apparently faster.

    As we learn more about time travel we have to familiarise with paradoxes, such as the grandfather, or parental paradoxes. But here's some paradox and theories made by me to mess with your mind. Are challenged enough to solve these paradoxes with great ease? Limour/Limited Colour Paradox: Can you think of a new colour not yet discovered? Laziness Paradox: If someone states, "I am too lazy to sleep", is it actually true? Matter Split Paradox: If I were to get a piece of matter, such as cake or a rod, and repeatedly cut it into half, is it infinite, and would it run to as stop? Assuming we cut it even though it is an atom thick. Fundigm Boredom Paradox: …

  21. Before arguing that it's possibly the most intellectual theory, and I should shut up or shut it, then just hear me out. Parallel universes are thought as infinite, and as it could go on forever and beyond space and time are other universes that perhaps defies the laws of physics and logic cannot be. Pigs shall fly in one universe, so on and so forth. But what are universes in? Are there a spheric figure or cubic shape that stands on time and space itself? Universes are actually thought to be infinite and is creating several stars and is expanding, and is actually incalculable of its diameters and shape due to our current technology, but if there were universes and they be…

    I don't know if this question belongs on this forum so feel free to move it to the Trash Can if you want but I have often wondered about this: How would have our history (especially the history of space exploration) have been different if the Earth had a moon with a breathable atmosphere? I think that would have changed it dramatically.

    PHYSICS OF OPTICS AND TIME Any corrections, different point of view and criticism will be appreciated pls. ABSTRACT: A brief proposition on the nature of light waves and how it affects the measurement of observers. For example, when a disturbance is created in the waves of light due to the motion of an object, this disturbance does not just die out of existence. It goes on to affect the observation and measurements of all observers who depend on the light waves for their observation and measurement. This change in the physical property of the light waves can make physical measurements of different frames to appear relative depending on the magnitude of the disturbance …

    when an object moves from point say A to point B , it disappears at that position which is A and appears in position B, it disappears to become energy and appears again as mass, this process is not noticeable because atoms disappear and appear in sequence, if we think of motion as above , i.e an atom moving by jumping from point a to point b, it will change into energy = mc^2 adding to it the energy which it possesses by force. friction: I said above an atom will change to energy at each jump and to mass again , and the total energy will be: mc^2+ 0.5 m v^2 , we notice that the kinetic energy is only (0.5*m*v^2) the quantity (mc^2) appears and disappears in something …
