Speculations
Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Rotation of earth, considered here, is with respect to its axis. Magnitude and type of earth's resultant motion, with respect to an external reference, depends on other simultaneous motions also. Earth also moves in linear direction along with sun (around galactic centre). Therefore, earth's absolute spin motion is relatively very small. Part of 'central force' due to gravity between earth and sun causes steady acceleration of earth's spin motion. For details, kindly see http://vixra.org/abs/1008.0029 Nainan

Sensei Yours, exposed tables, about disintegration of pair proton – antiproton, open another box of worms. And indeed ask for an-other flow of questions. But what have to do, I -- the poor layman, for not falling in “sin of hijacking”? Nevertheless I’ll take the risk. The tables of disintegration (reaction?) of proton -- antiproton, show us that another row of mater antimatter comes from this disintegration, plus in some other kind (bosons?). But in “the end”, those byproduct of disintegration of mater antimatter, doesn’t they combined in…. (bosons?). And prompt: some high thermal energy emerged that further cooled in …. Microwaves. And as for question about “asymmet…

Hi,I am new here and a little intimidated. There are people here who know alot more about this subject than myself, but that's why I came here! So please read my ideas carefully and please don't laugh at me if you disagree, they are just ideas for now and I hope at least one of them could be tested somehow. Right, here goes... As I understand it (correct me if I am wrong) when a wave is observed by us, it becomes a particle, but in so doing 'splits' the universe into many places or rather parallel universes, where each and every outcome occurred simultaneously, though for whatever reason, our mind is also split and observes only the one we are in. But m…

1 second after big bang universe 1 billion kelvin, Now 2.75kelvin. I have not yet read up on the big freeze theory, but I was looking at the gas to solid temperature of the elements http://www.ptable.com/#Property/State I was interested in hydrogen/heliums gas to solid temperatures. Helium freezes at 1.15K / 457.6F(Under pressure) unsure without . Hydrogen freezes at 434.45F, As the universe temperature is roughly 454F, Already 20F below the freezing point of hydrogen, I was wondering how long the stars/sun can still function in these dropping temperatures, The sun is 15 million celsius at core but only 5526 celsius surface/photosphere, 4320celsi…

Hi Where is the antimatter ? During the Bigbang the energy 'condensed' into matter and antimatter. If we accept the Feynman–Stueckelberg interpretation of antimatter, that antimatter are particle going back in time, then there was nothing before the 'condensation' so the antimatter never encontered matter. Anti matter that was created in that time are going back in time and will never meet matter. Is it something that was thaught before ? Thanks

I often come across discussion about how and why the universe is expanding, and what causes the expansion to constantly accelerate. The view currently accepted by science is that dark matter and dark energy are causing this. Since I don't have proof or solid indication of another model, I of course can't speak against that. Still, I'm considering a different explanation, which feels at least plausible in my opinion. I was wondering if there are any similar views, and if anyone else looked at this possibility to a deeper extent. This is my idea: As time goes on, atoms (and ultimately objects) around the universe experience more outcomes at the quantum scale. At least u…

I believe that fundamentally the universe is simple and easy to understand. All complexities are massive quantities of interacting basic particles. The only particles necessary for understanding are electrons and positrons. Quarks are just made up by people. So try on the thought of electrons and positrons being spinning magnets. A neutron then is a collection of an equal amount of electrons and positrons so that it creates a neutral net charge. A proton is a collection of electrons and positrons with one more positron than electron. Atomic structure is created because a neutron is diamagnetic when exposed to the magnetic fields of a proton and an electron. For every pr…

Mitch Bass. The way I view energy indicates that you are correct to believe that motion requires the presence of energy. Even so, the magnitude of energy intrinsic with the motion you are referring to depends on whether the motion is of matter or to that of a photon. In either case, if you were to do an analysis of energy that extends to the fundamental level of reality, you would be compelled to invoke the concept motion however slight, and the magnitude of potential force intrinsic with that motion. In that case, a unit of mass consists of energy amassed to a density of C2 .

The big bang theory presents a number of serious contradictions to our observations of the cosmos. Although many attempts have been made to reconcile these differences, many questions remain unanswered. This new big bang theory offers explanations that better fit our observations and leaves us with more answers than questions. Before presenting a new big bang theory that seems to answer many questions that the current big bang theory does not, a brief review of some of the problems with the current big bang is in order. The big bang theory has several vexing problems. First, there is the big void, close to a billion light years across space, which lies at the edge of th…

Been wondering about light/photons passing through different mediums, I believe light is still c relative to each medium, But from our perspective light is slowed down. I believe light can be slowed to a walking pace through a Bose Einstein condensate, I was wondering if a single photon/beam pulse was passed through a Bose Einstein condensate how would those photons exit condensate?, if one photon was still in condensate and nearest photon as just left condensate returning to c relative to us, would they exit cause a strope effect?(3) Or would photon "stretch?(2) I believe that the photons within condensate may be "spaced", Could you perhaps then pass another photon…

I have come here today to present a revised, and better version of the "Universal creation and rebirth speculation." My theory has several important points. 1. Black holes are relatives of the big bang. Essentially a black hole if large enough could create another big bang, although the amount of matter and energy this would take is enormous. 2. Particles with enough velocity (Theoretical particles (tachyons) and possibly neutrinos in special cases) can escape the event horizon because black holes do not have infinite gravity or mass. (Pet theory, Ultra-high velocity ejection) 3.The universe as we see it today is part of an endless cycle of universal implosio…

Person-a travels on circumference c1. Person-b travels on circumference c2. There will be time-dilation. Person-b will age more slowly relative to Person-a. However... say that Person-a & Person-b can look at each other throughout the rotation, and light travels between them at c, do we not have an impossible situation of relativity? Please explain in plain English.

Universe homogeneous/isotropic?, Is near enough good enough? I believe it was a good model, that now needs remodeling, Not stating has "gospel", As our understanding increases certain models "have" to change, Some will always resist change. And hold on tight to a model that as served well. I am not saying I have the answers, but I do believe sometimes you have to look with fresh eyes and without baggage. Mordred quoted but there are values that far exceed this 120Mpc, and there must be many we are yet aware of. coherent oscillations strongly support the idea that the first inhomogeneities in the universe were seeded during the accelerated…

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the kings horses and all the kins men, couldn't put Humpty together again." The well known rhyme mentions nothing about how tall the wall was, or even if Humpty ever hit the ground, what if there was no ground, and Humpty fell right through into the abyss? Let us imagine the wall was a doughnut shaped structure around a black hole with the mass of the earth, with a radius equivalent to the earth. What was Humpty's potential before the fall and what happened to him after the fall, making it so difficult to reassemble him? Steven

I believe that a more refined understanding of the power("force") of observation can endow us with a more effective way of discerning that nature is expressing supersymmetric relationships. I call this supersymmetric system the Recursion Scenario. I will be drawing attention to a recursive mechanism that allows information to be self similar, as well self replicative at every point within the system. This 'renormalization' of information, as existing on a reflective surface or horizon, then undergoing infinite propagation; is expressing the mirror to mirror relationships. I will describe Euclidean space as the 'Dark Energy (Isometry/Vector A)' side of the relationship,…

Brief Outline of a New Theory. I was planning to write two articles, one more serious, the other styled in a less serious tone. Here, however is the brief outline of an article that outlines a theory of mine. We may examine a point in a System to be displaced. In going across or going up of a point B to point A it causes a force of displacement to A (therefore, if F=ma is correct, each point which has a mass and acceleration can be the cause of motion as a "force"). The functions can be moving up or across, but they have to be calculated simultaneously to occur; a hypotenuse is implied in the equation so changes in the formula for Area (1/2 bh, or 1/2 of the area …

Hi everybody, The topic was about the process of evolution being a scientific method, but the real questioning was about the theory of evolution being a scientific method. I find the topic interesting as it is, so I risk a question about it even if it is a bit off topic, and you tell me if I should start a new one. Evolution is a trial and error process, and to me, scientific method too, otherwise, we would not be natural, because we would be able to predict any future, thus to predict our own evolution, and to drive it the way we want. If, like me, you think that we are not, why are we making a fundamental difference between the scientific evolution process and any o…

I follow the many attempts on science forums, to provide an understanding of the nature of gravity or gravitation; also such phenomena as the nature of the known forces. Because there is a requirement that a discussion on subjects such as mentioned above must not involve speculation, I am left to wonder why such subjects are allowed in the general physics category. Mainstream science has an almost religious belief and for practical reason for the General Theory of Relativity. Even so, and despite the statements made by GR regarding gravitation being an illusion, and gravity only existing because matter has the ability to warp space, there is a lingering belief that grav…

As I understand it, an electron is hard to get a good read on because it is appearing/disappering very quickly and also appears to be jumping orbits indiscriminately. I was wondering if there was any possibility that electrons could be in stationary orbits around a nucleus, which acting something like our sun, was throwing out flares in all directions. Once these flares hit an orbiting electron it would briefly "light it up" (something like an aurora borealis, for lack of a better example) allowing us to see/read the electron for the brief time it was "lit up". Now I am more than likely misunderstanding how an electron/nucleus interact, as well as seeing patterns …
