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.

I don't know how to discuss this or even ask questions without falling into speculation, and though there are a lot of threads about time in non speculative parts of the forum I couldn't figure out how to bring this up without feeling like I might be hijacking the thread, so this is probably the best place for the thought. Current views on time are that the faster you go the more time slows down, and that if you are the one going faster you are not even going to notice. Apply this thought to falling into a black hole and time slows. At least this is the way I understand it. Apply this thought to the big bang. What then? It wouldn't seem to make sense that the …

The concept of matter waves can it create Strings ? A hypothetical superluminal particle can create this field called String. What do you think of it ? The Huygens Combination and Matter Waves --> a superb link to visit --> http://www.quantummatter.com/space-resonance/matter-waves-and-buddhist-thought/ Can we just do-it with only one source ?

Gravity is the recoil of energy to it's source. Things of the earth or any object of the universe, may leave it's source. However, the object/energy, can only escape but so far, before it's connection to it's source, acts upon it. Pulling it back to it's itself, since it's energy and its connection with it's source is stronger, then the distance it can escapes too. Electric magnetic radiation generally escapes gravity, so light is not effected by gravity, unless it's captured by a black hole, whose gravitational pull is strong enough to effect even light. All other energies recoil back to it's source, and that recoil is what we call gravity. Think of it like a compressed …

So the jury is still out on the question whether or not NASA et al have got it wrong or they have stumbled on something fundamental. I would like to note that the principle of having a material object such as a spaceship seemingly act as a perpetual mobile is consistent with the idea that photons have mass and accelerate holding c in the Higgs field that is formed of moving mass as well in a graviton field that does the same. Gravitons spinning Higgs particles into Gluons forming strings, two of which form a photon. Taking the entire cosmos then as a closed system the energy level will be and remain constant. No conflict then with the law of conservation of mome…

Fun Fact: The body has no nerves designed to feel heat. The nerves can detect cold and they can detect warm, but not heat. The heat sensation comes when something is so hot it can stimulate both the warm and cold receptors at the same time. (Note: I have had numerous comments about the use of the word heat here. I mean this to be roughly temperatures above 45 degrees, and shoulkd have said HOT not heat. I also think this is a fairly obvious assumption and it is ridiculous I need to clarify this.

I've been working on finding scientific arguments that spirits and an out-of-body consciousness exist, and that our awareness isn't just an effect created by signals in the brain as some speculate. Yesterday I realized something rather obvious, but very important if my understanding is proven correct. My argument relies on the theory of relativity... with focus on the idea that time is a fixed dimension, where the past and present both exist in a static state across a 4th axis. After nearly a day of pondering this view, I couldn't find any counterfacts to it, and I'd like to hear what others think and other pro / con arguments. So let's consider this: Right now you ar…

From this debate I, a lay-man, am more confused than illuminated. It is simple: Electron and positron, two mass particles of mater have: Stationary energy E = 2 * me * C^2 = 2*8.187*10^-14 joule. Interacting, they transform in two mass less particles (gamma) with Run-away energy E = 2 * h*1.2359006*10^20Hz = 2*8.187*10^-14 joule. All the mess is created by the ill term: “ annihilation of matter”

Hi, This is a great idea. That works as you say. The tense string that you represent (position) is the line of gravity zero and the perfect planeity. After, a piece of energy (bit), just hit to come the string at rest. It is what you have demonstrated and it's waht I think too. This is the same rules as "energetic intensity" http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/69831-could-particles-with-intrinsic-properties-explain-quantum-gravity/page__view__findpost__p__713748

In this presentation, we would like to show what happens when we add a new dimension to equation of the Lorentz, and found that the conclusions that there are several cases including those that could help resolve the dispute if there is a movement of the particles faster than the speed of light. We think that we must agree if there is the possibility of the existence of particles that move faster than the speed of light, we have to be prepared for how to deal with this matter. You can see the full work on this link : http://www.filedropper.com/341-46310061309-jpms09mhelmysaid1 I would like to have your opinions about it. Thank you. Regards, M…

I believe that politicians are extremely smart depending on their history and where or with who they are located. I was wondering though, will the next presidential candidates (or any candidate for that matter) be involved in data science? Our world is changing very rapidly. "[People tend to think that the change is linear, but it's actually exponential.]" -see Ray Kurzweil, law of accelerating returns. We need to be on top of our game, absolutely. The data that we are getting from all the people connected across the globe is growing exponentially. I hear that we make as much data in 10 minutes now that has ever existed in the history of humanity up until the year 200…

I was looking a physics book and noticed that Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light is based on Ampere and Faraday induction experiments yet induction is not optical. Can someone explain this to me. I Having a hard time figuring this out. Maybe someone who is smart could explain this to me there must be an explaination since Maxwell's theory has been around for over 150 years, as I am told.

hi ill start by introducing myself. My name is Franz Lee Rust and im from Nashville tennessee. i am 25 years old. lets begin by realizing that a theory is proven correct if it makes sense. math is not needed to determine if something is correct. Deal with it. This is how the world works.

OK I have started another thread. Online poker is hugely flawed, and has nothing to do with the RNG. The flaw is in process. The process - A multitude of 52 card decks are put into a shuffle server, so basically millions of decks put into a box and shuffled in their individual deck. The decks are then put into a que system. So although random, there is a set sequence set of how many cards is needed for which ever table needs a deck and amount of players at that table. Every single hand on all tables, a new deck is issued every go. And the first deck in the que goes to which ever table finishes first. So a new deck every hand to be clear.…

My evidence, the continued closed posts on most science forums. My debate, lateral thinking and critical thinking, apart of science, yet ignored by many. https://theoristexplains.wordpress.com/2014/04/23/we-see-through-the-transparent-state-part-5/ My next article will be about science and its stereo typical nature towards individuals who have freedom of thought. Using lateral and critical thinking to overview science, and the ability to argue, with logic that fits. yes or no that lateral and critical thinking is a part of science? the part that comes before any maths?

Teleportation is moving from a certain location to another without travelling through the intervening normal space. Star Trek depicts teleportation as entering a transporter that uses a computer to scan poeple or objects atom by atom or molecule by molecule, then teleporting the atoms or molecules to a different location. This would be difficult to do by a computer because poeple or objects have an extremely large number of atoms or molecules. An alternative would be to travel through the 5th dimension or higher, also known as hyperspace, possibly by using wormholes. I envision it as using a belt with a lighted buckle like the neural neutralizers worn by the Kelvi…

First: Moderators... Move this to any appropriate section. I was thinking of even starting this in speculations/Trash can because this forum has no specific area for fringe science that I can see. For instance if the wright brothers were inventing the airplane today what area would we discuss it if no papers had been released. I use flight as an example because some mainstream science was denying flight was possible years after flight had occurred. While I do not think it deserves a place in physics. I also think trashing all fringe science is not something wise people would do. So I'm putting it in science news? ----------------------------------------…

Few would want to consider outside the box explanations (outside the Big Bang model) to solve this "over-brightness" problem. After all, the problem doesn’t seem that awesome that a standard explanation of some kind could not be found. Still the appearance of over-brightness in the universe was a prediction of another cosmological model long ago so I thought I would mention it here. Here is the recent paper on it. It was a supernova paper proposing that Dark Energy is not real, whereby I was the lead author (see 7.2 and 7.3 within the paper.) The paper predicts that the universe will appear brighter than what would be expected using the Hubble formula to calculate…

When considering viscosity, we often associate viscosity with fluids, and the differences proceeding the mixing of fluids, example the viscosity of oil to water, the oil will not mix with the water, because it has a different viscosity. However, if we consider other elements , such as air, the general atmosphere, space, emr, there is also pause for thought to consider, that these also have a viscosity. Example , energy, lightning has a higher energy level than the surrounding energy, the energy has a different viscosity, so we see lightning, by a difference in viscosity of the energies. Weather , the difference in energies of hot and cold, pressure fr…

Inversely Proportional Nesting Doll Systems 1. All physical systems are composed of Energy and Matter. Energy and Matter form stable, proportional systems that have Mass. Mass is the combination of Energy and Matter. Without Energy, Matter does not have Mass, and without Matter, Energy does not have Mass. Matter = tm (system's total mass) - em (system's energy mass [force, acceleration, potential and kinetic]). Energy and Matter are always attracted to each other (strong force) but repel themselves (weak force). The 'isolation' state of energy is C and the 'isolation' state of Matter is 'zero point energy' or 'rest mass'. 2. Physical systems are formed as individual…

hi guys first time posting to this but I've had a theory rattling around in my brain for a little while and it's time I brought it to the attention of those possibly smarter than me. so I have two theories let's see if I can properly explain them. 1. Controllable momentum. say for instance you have a car tire, now take off the rubber, all you have now is a rim. Say you were to fix a group of magnets to the surface of the rim on a slight axis so that they could be moved slightly when needed but only about as much as this. ( position 1 / and 2 \ ) Similar to a teeter-totter. Now what if we added another circular surface over the top of the current, magnet covere…

The 2nd law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the arrow of time. The universe started as a singularity, it was at a maximum level of order. It had minimum entropy. There is no other direction for entropy to go when something is at a minimum, it can only remain in that state, or increase. The expansion of space, time and the increase in entropy are all linked. However, the system can be seperated via inflation which leads to the inability of information to flow from one part to another. Multiple universes are created. Within our universe, we observe an accelerating rate of expansion, this has a paradoxical dual quality, entropy increases to a maximum within the sys…

For a hydrogen atom at ground state, the electron is moving around the proton (nucleur of H atom). The frequency ν0 and the energy E0 of the electron in the H atom at the ground state should consistent with quantum hypothesis, that is : E0=hν0 Where h is Planck's constant . As we known, the period T and the frequency of the electron must obey the following relationship : T=1/ν Clearly, the electron is moving around the proton with a constant period T0, and T0= h /E0 According to the concept of period, the moving electron should be at the same position at the time after a period T0. That is easy for us to understand by classic concept and theor…

Hi all. My name is Kenneth Udut. I'm 42 years old, been online since 1988 (started with BBS's and the beginnings of the 'net and never stopped. Otherwise, I'm nobody special). I started working on my own theory of everything - a systems of system of systems. Yet another middle aged guy trying to find the meaning of life I guess. Anyway, I started putting it together and I want people to poke holes in it. I don't know how to write scientifically but I do have all my references saved. I think I may have found a different way to view the nature of physics and such that's not mathematical or numerical but rather kind of geometrical: The Leaky Triangle. Afte…
