Speculations

There is a profound principal in the universe that says there is no central entity or notion anywhere, and that everything has no special significance than any other things in physics terms. This principal dispelled ‘earth-centric’ idea and later the Newtonian absolute time-space concept. It is a universally accepted principal in modern science. If math and physics are intertwined inextricably then it seems natural numbers ought to have an equal standing as any other numbers, irrational, complex, or even numbers yet to be invented. Is there any physical underlying reason for natural numbers’ special status? Or are the natural numbers just a convenient way for people to c…

So I ever since i was interested in science the expansion of the universe didn't sit right with me, atleast the theories behind that of which i knew at the time. And I haven't heard this one so i'll just see if this theory has either already been discussed, or could at all be plausable The theory i'm basing this off is the gravitational waves one. If gravity indeed does move at the speed of light, then I'd go and say that the expansion of the 'universe' (well, the universe itself wouldn't be expanding if i'm correct) is simply how we perceive spacetime returning to it's natural state after being tugged on by the mass of the Big Bang's singularity. The increasing a…

When considering the total energy or the total mass, or the total entropy, or the total momentum of a system, what happens when the far reaches of the system are separated by a significant distance, where light or gravity cannot get from one end of the system to the other in less than a moment? Let's say a moment is between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 seconds, and is somehow related to how we sense and remember and think in terms of existence and cause and effect and such. A system, larger than half a million miles in diameter, would not be understandable as happening "at the same time". Any equation, like the application of the gas law, would be suspect, unless "when" the …

I tend to think that the high-energy physics, and cosmology (including big bang theories, black holes and etc) today are closer to scams than science. The science community is in collusion to cover this up to milk public funds. “Emperors’ New Clothes” is a precise description of this phenomenon. Please correct my 'crazy' idea.

Global warming, meteor impacts, super volcanos, can cause or end ice ages, how has this affected the relative orientation (like the lead weight that keeps you car/truck tires balanced) of the planet, seeing as how the ice caps are melting, I have heard at one time true north(not magnetic north) was over northern Germany, at some point in geological history it shifted to somewhere over hudsands bay, at around tenthousand yrs bc, it shifted again to where it is today, with the warming trend, the poles are not the only thing melting, the glaciers too are going, how has the displacement, from solid and above sea level, to a rising sea level, affected this balance, I ask cause…

I decided to join club of authors of ToE I posted my ToE, or, more correct, hypothesis what can be framework for ToE. It can be read at my blog Please feel free to read it and critisize. Is my hypothesis contains any obvious problems or contradictions to existing well established theories?

This discussion cropped up 12 pages into a Speculative forum post, but I wanted to start a new thread here. What was there before the big bang, if anything? When you imagine the setting before the big bang, what do you typically imagine? An ultra small, ultra energetic point of nothingness? That's kinda what ive always imagined...Apparently, in this view, there is no space yet. If you see your tiny energetic point in a big open space, its ok, you cant really see something with no spatial values, but to think the "space around" that point is spacetime, would be a misconception...and also there is no mass yet, mass is really a factor of moving and there isn't any movi…

I made a post about this a few years ago (I think it's been deleted now), but never really resolved the argument. Well the first question is in the title... and for debating purposes, my standpoint on the answer is yes. If it takes until the end of this universe, or the creation of 10^10^10^10 universes later, anything which is at least physically possible in our current universe is possible. The "therefore" is about conciousness and reincarnation... If conciousness is nothing more than a sort of emergent phenomenon based on the configuration of particles and therefore workings that make up your brain then there is no reason that this configuration couldn't happ…

Somebody CONDOUNDED ABOUT “ GENESIS “ It is sure that people boasting about solving problems post “genesis”, are able to solve the basements of “genesis” mathematically, so speaking. I am “confused” about many beginning things. It was an explosion? What was exploded? It was a thermal process during “expansion”? On what, those thermal processes, were applied? Now I have the right to ask the friends that are appassionato about Math. and which asks lay-mans, with aim to hush them, with problems like this: Please show in mathematical detail: a) How your model predicts the temperature and spectrum of the CMB. Sure the layman isn’t able to answers, it has not a Ph.D. Or not …

Some studies say that theres no such thing as black eyes, and that "black" eyes are only dark brown eyes. Do you agree or disagree with that? I personally disagree, because some people who say their eyes are brown, have eyes that appear to be black.

Genetics causes faces to appear the way they do, and it seems to me animals have less distinct looking faces than humans. I dont mean all animals look the same-animals can tell each other apart (animal scientists can also tell individual animals apart), and different animal subspecies (like wolf subspecies for example) all have very distinct looks, but even after watching animal videos on youtube, it seems to me most animals (except for domestic ones like cats and dogs-who were bred for millenia), look alike and dont seem to have as distinct and unique looking faces that individual people have.

This can't possibly be true! I'm sure I'll look like a fool soon enough lol. A computer simulation I wrote (source code below) correctly predicts Bell's experiment results using hidden variables. Basically I wrote it as I felt the photons would behave. Both of the entangled photons polarities are predetermined before they arrive at the polarizers. Unless I've made an error, this shows that Einstein was correct. My simulation is based on a Bell's experiment in the following video: She clearly states the experiment result is 1/2, which is what my simulation gets. Further on in the video she goes over an example that uses hidden variables. She states that th…

What are everyone's predictions for the new year? Not the obvious stuff. Technology: Tipping point for cable TV. I suspect Apple will finally release its long anticipated Television which will have built in apple TV streaming along with some form of updated iTunes that offers some free content. Separately google will update chromecast possible working directly with TV studios to create exclusive content as Netflix has. I also think it is possible Google purchases Roku as a means of shrinking the field. A comeback for Blackberry. Between the fappening and Sony hacks security will be a priory for many in 2015. Blackberry arguably still has the most secure emailin…

A p-n_junction consists of an n-type semiconductor in contact with a p-type semiconductor. To a first approximation an n-type semiconductor only conducts electrons and a p-type semiconductor only conducts holes. When forward biased above a certain voltage, current flows easily and electrons and holes move toward and combine at the junction. In an LED the combining of electrons and holes produces photons of light. When reverse biased, current does not flow even at relatively high voltages. However when light falls on the junction of a reverse biased photodiode, electrons and holes are created and move in opposite directions away from the junction. A photon…

Water is referred to as the universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances and in greater quantity than any other solvent. Yet, paradoxically, 99.9% of the earth is insoluble in water. Silicate rocks dont dissolve in water for the same reason that they are amorphous. They are a polymers. Chain silicates. Geopolymers. (cf. silicone). If they are allowed to cool slowly, these chain silicates can fold up into regular crystal structures but they are still long chains of covalently bonded atoms. On the other hand, if it cools too quickly then the result is an amorphous glass, like obsidian. Solid organic compounds consisting of ordinary small molecule…

A reconstruction of Rodinia. Note how Alaska tucks into the Ross sea and Mexico curls up along Peru. The light colored area surrounding the land is the continental shelf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Sea South America, Africa, Antarctica, India, and Australia together form Gondwana. North America and Russia together form Laurasia. Gondwana and Laurasia together form Rodinia. One billion years ago Rodinia split into Laurasia and Gondwana which then moved so far apart that they actually collided on the other side of the world forming Pangea. As they came together the Tethys ocean was trapped between them. The Tethys Ocean continued to shrink until today…

The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a half-life of 611.0±1.0 s (about 10 minutes, 11 seconds). A neutron spontaneously breaks down into a proton, an electron, and an electron-antineutrino. The radius of an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is known as the Bohr radius and is equal to 0.529 angstroms. This is tens of thousands of times larger than the nucleus. It is often said, therefore, that the electron is too big to fit inside a neutron. But that is only true if the only force binding the electron inside the neu…

The Theory of Life The Theory of Life states that to find the meaning of Life/God, one must first understand The Law of Nature The Law of Nature states that Enlightenment is the cause of behaviors. What is behavior? the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others. What is Enlightenment? Enlightenment is a Sense of Self that is reached by the research and analysis of both The Forces of Knowledge and Understanding. What is Sense of Self? The value of which relates to how one perceives Truth or Deception. What are the Forces of Nature? Energy and Strength attributed to emotion caused by the degree of which one is Enlightened. …

ISN’T “THREESOME” A FACTOR FOR STABILITY? Weeks ago I read in Phys.Org about an experiment upon electrons of deep cold helium’s atoms. I was impressed by the statement of authors: electron is composed by two parts, apart each other: an electric charge and a magnet. They boasted that this discovery is supported by quantum theory, or support quantum theory. First--- This “discovery “, if it is true, is in clear opposition with quantum theory, at least about view point of quantum that see electron as “ a point excitement” of electric field, without dimension. Second.--- if it is true, there must be three different electric charges, one that was apart and two that formed …

An infinite continuum of matter, where the concept of "empty space" does not exist The Universe has infinite energy The energy fluctuations of the Universe are the cause of all interactions and motion that occur in the Universe Motion is the result of energy transferring from one location to another and not as a result of matter transferring location Motion is not matter moving through a medium with that medium being empty space Motion is energy moving as a wave through a medium with that medium being the continuum of matter This is my theory, I try to keep it brief rather than rambling into an essay and have stated the main concepts of my theory I think/hope

Some time ago I saw some reference to virtual particle appearance / annialation creating a positive pressure in empty space, and that the presence of physical matter causes a reduction of the number of particles that can appear within matter, or proximate to matter, as demonstrated by the casimir effect. The overall thrust of the idea was that matter (a planet) shielded the force from behind any particular surface point, so the positive force would be expressed as gravity function on the surface. The effective surface gravity force would be higher with higher matter density shielding, the ultimate model being a black hole, which would shield all the counteracting pressure…

Theory of Balance On the rise and fall of our universe Infinite expansion borders infinite shrinking and the border is unstable. Space and time have joined forces (1) in direct opposition to gravity and matter. These two hemi-wholes constantly tug at one another, trying to gain the upper hand. Skirmishes are incessant and minor victories frequent with space and time or gravity and matter torn from their hemi-wholes as captives in this essential struggle. Victories appear as surges of a sample of one hemi-whole into the other hemi-whole. Surges of gravity and matter obey the Laws of Space and Time in a universe like ours. Surges of space and time obey the Laws of Gravi…

What do you do when you've invested so much in a theory, even proselytized others on its scientific validity, and then see every new archaeological discovery prove it wrong? You go into cognitive dissonant mode. The massive collection of fossils discovered to date show that survival of the fittest (as attributed to evolution) never happened -- the vast majority of fossils seem to represent the "fit." The "unfit," the ones that allegedly didn't survive, are practically non-existent. Yes, we all know how genetic code pass down mostly the beneficial mutations to perpetuate the hardiest of the species. But this nonsense misses the point. In scenarios of "survival …

What do you think- my engine on the Oberth effect will work or not? I think this is the main part explaining the Oberth effect: (citation)- "Take 1/2 of m (v + vb)v2, and you get 1/2 mv2 as well as 1/2 mvb2, the kinetic energy you'd expect from adding these two speeds. On top of that, you also get m(v * vb). The pink rectangle above is Oberth gravy. For example a kilogram going 10 meters/second has kinetic energy of 50 joules; a kilogram going 2 meters/second has kinetic energy of 2 joules. But a kilogram moving (10 + 2) meters/second doesn't have a kinetic energy of 52 joules, rather (50 + 2 + (10 * 2)) joules. Starting with a 10 meter/second speed and speeding up ano…

Sorry if I couldn't make a good title for the speculation, but that is all I had. NOTE: Religion is not, in this paper, associated with the metaphysical aspects. It is only related to its effect in a group. Also, prosperous has many definitions, but in this case has the definition of stability in relation to goals and agendas of a society. The definition in relation to the idea may change to better suit the idea. Also, this idea is still in progress. Later on, the idea may not work out in the end. however I have been thinking about the idea and thought I might post it here to get peer review. I never planned to even have the paper read by others because I have no …
