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. I'm seeing more and more posts online now of people who have clinically died and claim to have not seen anything. Some have said it was like going into a deep sleep and remember nothing else. One guy even said he became atheist because he saw no white light,tunnel, guides...nothing. Just a sensation of "deep sleep". So what's up with that? Stories like this makes me wonder sometimes at the validity of most NDES and makes me wonder if they truly are real or just coming from a dying brain. When I read posts like this doubt creeps in and makes me question if NDEs,OBES etc are even real?

    Your mathematics of big bang runs into a singularity before it can get there, so you result to collider boondoggles to prove first cause and all you can come up with is some mysterious Higgs boson. Pretty weak! There is the presence of something that explains an atomic riddle. It seems that certain radioactive atoms emit far more energy than would be expected. This excess of radiation is derived from the breaking up of a yet to be discovered energy carrier that moves basic units of materialized energy into atomic mass (hydrogen atoms) creating an active nucleus and giving rise to the electronic organization of matter and electric charge. This is first cause. Y…

    Thanks to all the posts on this forum to my posts. This is where I am up to so far.... The pretence is that there was time before the Big Bang. The question is what might this time look like? My proposal is that some of the time might look similar to what we see in the world today. So let's propose that there were earth worlds in the past. What is the model? Well, they would have had their own Big Bang. For the sake of argument let's argue that they there existed a "smaller" time than ours. So a smaller earth world and a smaller universe. Over time an earth world develops. Oceans form and plant life comes on to the planet. Then …

    What if I told you the same quantum phenomenon responsible for quantum entanglement can manifest as dark energy and black hole evaporation (Hawking radiation)? And even cause dark matter? the sun explodes but it also collapsed from less dense gas. As the earth formed formed from debris. Gravity forms and it decays.

  6. Chapter 1: The standard model of the mind The standard model of the mind starts with the factors of the standard model of physics, which are mass and energy. So what is the mass and energy of the mind? Mass is the talent, which is to say talent to read people or talent to read and comprehend written material. Energy is the personality factor in question. The personality factors in question could be the bad factors, the neutral factors, and the good factors. The bad factors are the dark tetrad of personality, namely greed, violence, manipulation, and apathy. The neutral factors are extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to exper…

  7. I have a theory which explains the Gravity as dynamical force which appears only between moving particles. Actually electric and strong (aka nuclear) forces also appears only between particles, but as static ones. This theory has few conclusions. One of them that the infinitly continued relative movement of all bodies in the space remains by means of dynamical force of gravity. Thus, 1. Stars in any galaxy move with weak acceleration. By time they their orbit and speed increase. When they reach the galaxy's periferia their velocity increased greatly. This is explanation for dark matter phenomena. 2. Cosmic rays get their high speed and energy during …

    There is work on Euclidean relativity.

    Einstein has taken us down a wrong path, and 100 years later, physics has not recovered from the consequences. We need to look at the clear evidence and go back to working on real physics instead of science fiction! Theory and experiments show Special Relativity and General Relativity are optical illusions. Space and time are absolute as denoted by Galilean Relativity. Hi my name is Dr William Walker and I am a PhD physicist and have been investigating this topic for 30 years. It has been known since the late 1700's by Simone Laplace that nearfield Gravity is instantaneous by analyzing the stability of the orbits of the planets about the sun. This is actually pred…

  13. Former CEO and Computer Technician of IN-AP Systems The Big Bang explained once and for all !! - By Mick Bartram - As my doctors certified me a Genius, it is so obvious to me !! Here is my conjecture, , ,was the big bang probably caused by a division by zero, a mathematical oddity where 1 \ 0 = infinity, a dividend of 1, with a divisor of zero equals a quotient of infinity, the dividend of 1 is an infinitesimally small fundimental particle, and ok maybe not a divisor of zero, but an extreamly small unimaginable value of say 10 to the minus googol, .1 with 100 zero's before the 1, thats a whopping 100 \ 70 = 1.428 x all the atoms in the universe ( if the dividend…

  14. Abstract: This theory proposes that the universe is structured in a layered, hierarchical manner, originating from a foundational event we term the "Grand Bang." The model suggests a cyclical process of creation, extending beyond our observable dimensions and incorporating a higher-order dimension, the "dimension of dimensions," or the fifth dimension. Key Concepts: Space: The foundational zero point, the canvas upon which all existence is painted. I (Introduction of Input): The initial spark or input, potentially akin to the concept of light, introducing energy and information into the system. Variance: The differentiation over…

    Unacceptable to me what just occurred! A voice that was contributing to defending the other side of the story has been nullified. The first part only of my post was taken, not the second which stated clearly that I was setting things up for science. An arbitrary-unilateral decision. Just waiting for the shoe to drop, then pounce. It was unconventional, but not-not science. I presented evidence like no one does on this forum. It was biased, but for reasons that I indicated. How many were not in agreement with my position, but turned up regularly anyways. some to scorn me, but others, maybe, to understand the position that I was defen…

    recently a dialogue about webb telescope findings has been going on speculating that the age of the universe is twice previous estimate of 13.7 b years. The discrepancy seems indicated by early star and galaxy formations appearing much older than standard bb model. Since light is affected by gravity, could not the mass of the early universe cause an additional red shift factor adding to the well measured expansion of space? Would not such a far away and immense combined mass function as to simulate a dispersed black hole effect acting upon light beams observed here?

    Hi again I would like to thanks to science forums for giving me opportunity to share a very different and more simply view on physics I promise I will not come to speculations thread ever again. I have learned a lot from science forums and I will try to learn more. I would like to finish this speculation threads of mine with two words super symmetry. cheers

  19. I have a rough-draft schematic of a robotic operation that can help harness the energy released from a fusion event and turn it electricity to do more mechanical work while turning some of that electricity back into energy for the lasers. A lot of it has to do with the properties of the materials. Of course you don't want to cover the entire perimeter of the nuclear pulse or else the device won't turn out any energy to power other devices so I did better than simple photovoltaics although it does still use those that is just one of three ways the energy from fusion is harnessed and put back in to attempt to cause more fusion. Luckily you need less energy after it starts b…

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break any rules. Just trying to help. Stephen said you have a measure of control over the higher levels if you secure the foundation. I know you live and work in the higher levels and don't want to hear from someone in the sandbox, but from down here it looks like the hole thing is about to fall. I implore you to at least consider a reboot: a paradigm shift that will secure the foundation and answer many questions.

    Liquid drop model revisited The liquid drop model explains forces in atomic nucleus as they were created by tiny liquid drops. It is based partially on theory and partially on empirical measurements. In this revisited model The visible universe is seen as bubble/nucleus of liquid with diameter of 8.8x10e26m.In the further text big bubble. The galaxies inside the bubble are seen as a nucleons.In further text small bubbles. For simplicity of calculation we are going to use average size of galaxies. The number of galaxies inside the visible universe is Ng=2x10e12. Th…

    "...I feel there is a fundamental point here. I feel helpless if I'm taken around a strange town of which I can't form a picture. We all need a mental map of the world showing where we are. Of course our picture will have many layers of which the physical description is only one. Nevertheless it is the bed rock on which all other structures are based. If we have secured the foundation, we have a measure of control over the higher levels. The physical laws that govern the universe are usually expressed in the form of mathematical equations. For most people , this has created a great barrier to understanding. But equations in physics are like the financial app…

    The guidelines for this Speculations Forum mention the concept Wild Ass Guesswork (WAG). I rather favor a term I learned in the military, SWAG, sophisticated wild ass guess. Well, maybe not real sophisticated, but to at least some degree. An ultimate goal of mine is this question: What would it mean if there is an upper limit to the size of a black hole? For now, I stop on the major concept and begin with a minor one that is important to the larger. I have read widely about spacetime but not deeply. I am not good with mathematics. I am aware of and comfortable with the concept: “matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to…

    To say that I have no testable predictions is not true. I have predicted that now, with dark energy, dark matter and neutrinos coming into focus. The corner stone of the big bang theory of creation, the CBR, can now be taken away from big bang and reassigned. Fred Hoyle's and Herman Bond's "steady state" theory deserves another look. At the time big bang was born, it won the day because there could not be an argument made for a collapsing cloud of alpha particles raining down on earth. Now there can be. I'm not saying that Hoyle and Bondi were dead on correct but they were closer than big bang to answering the question, how did matter come to be? As far as somet…

  25. Hypotheses about the functioning of subatomic particles The universe is made up of space-time, according to the relativistic position, and time and space are inseparable. Furthermore, in quantum mechanics we find something practically incomprehensible, which would be how such small particles can contain so much energy. This hypothesis proposes the following: In the universe there would be unobservable places, as if it were another dimension, which would connect points within the observable universe. They would be like channels through which subatomic particles travel. Subatomic particles would be like access keys or passwords to these channels, th…
