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 will start with a simple assertion: The gravitational constant expressed as meters^3/sec^2 per kgm is equivalent to exponential cosmological acceleration per unit mass, i.e., volumetric acceleration per unit mass. Starting with a Hubble sized sphere of radius R having a volume 4/3(pi)R^3, differentiate twice to get volumetric acceleration. Since the Hubble grows at constant velocity c, the volumetric acceleration for a space receding at a constant rate c is 8(pi)Rc^2. However, we are interested in the recessional rate which is believed to be accelerating - if the recessional rate is accelerating there will another term which corresponds to q = -1, that is [4(…

This article is based on the Maxwell's electromagnetic theory ,by the introduction of virtual particle cloud , and strict mathematics and physics verification ,firstly get the conclusion of gravitation field, nuclear power field and weak field all are result of the electrostatic field’s different forms effect, and unify this four field force in an equation. This is the only unified field theory including gravitation at present. http://hi.baidu.com/xj51075107/item/a3816f16ef19960fe65c36c1 My manuscript XiaoJun.doc

Lorentz transformation only in the directions of wave propagation and the direction of movement to the establishment, in the transformation of different direction should be the Xiao Jun transform http://blog.sciencenet.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=1384140&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=812950 (because it cannot send pictures and accessories, can only give a link, please administrator understanding)

Recently a friend introduced me to the Blood Type diet. While the claims made in the book written by Peter J. D'Adamo, Eat Right 4 Your Type have not been clinically proven and seem rather speculative they did peek my curiosity. What is the purpose of blood times and should we adapt anything about or lifestyles (diets, sleep patterns, activity levels, etc) around them? I posted this in speculations because while the history of blood types is known from what I have read the purpose of blood types is not. So I am interested in both research and people's opinions.

Let us assume that Karma has a basis in science. (assumption). - (I) What then would be an idealized topology of the Universe to back this up ? - Planar -> This would extend in a straight line, every event would be the driver of the next and each event would act as the agent to expand the dimension of space - time contributing to Universal expansion. Karma could act but there would be no pattern in the events, only linear progression - Open loop -> This would not support the karmic model. At some point events would cease and karma would thereby "end". Not self-propagating and event driven, - Closed loop -> Here events would drive the next ad - inf…

I have a theory that explains all how all particles and forces can be unified as manifestations of a single, fundamental entity. Posing some logical conclusions from the statements of mass-energy equivalence and special relativity: Please read and attempt to understand the entire concept before arguing against any individual point of the concept. Thank you. E=m$c$2. The logical conclusion to this statement, what it "should" mean in real life, is: Energy is mass moving at $c$2. The "speed" of energy is $c$2. Understanding that this is a completely illogical statement, it does seem to be logically explained by special relativity. The logical conclus…

Please attempt to understand before dismissing - not a strictly physics debate. E=mc2. Energy is mass moving at c2. The 'speed' of energy is c2. "The best understanding we have is that it [light] is a disturbance in the electromagnetic fields of charged bodies." http://einstein.stanford.edu/content/relativity/q212.html This is a link to the most recent report I could find for experiments attempting to observe or measure a photon without destroying it. http://www.livescience.com/41465-photons-seen-without-being-destroyed.html "The photon didn't interact with the atom directly, but it did alter the atom's phase — the timing of its resonance with the cavity.

My understanding in a nutshell is that the photon travels so fast that it moves at the relative speed of time itself. This causes the Photon to not experience the passage of time, as demonstrated by the Lorentz equation saying when Velocity is the Speed of Light, Duration or Time = 0. Using the Train analogy, the Photon and Time are each trains moving at equal speeds, so relative to the Photon, Time seems to be standing still. In the local, special relativity sense, Time is the other frame of reference moving at the Speed of Light. The Photon is created, already existing at all points of its existence simultaneously, but for no amount or passing or length of time to any "…

Musing aloud,,,,, perhaps there are different flavours of gravity. Weakly interacting and strongly interacting. That given to magnetic interaction where magnetic forces add to the effect, but only to a 'captured' point of equalibrium governed by angular velocity (an electric armature for instance and it's associated field), then that of Mass gravity where the elctro-magnetic affect is modified by sheer weight of numbers of trillions of interacting magnetic fields at the quantum level. That is a field equation stretching from the Planck scale to the universe[-al] scale. I muse because of how small mass particles such as electrons arrange themselves in shell energies gr…

Is there a world to save then? Many scientists as do I think there is. We humans are systematically over-stressing the system and inevitably going for a catastrophic failure. We are overpopulating, overproducing, over selling, over expecting and "over everything" in an extremely irresponsible and mounting way. We in the past already have had two bangs one in 1914 which has eerie similarity to the situation in Europe at the moment and the situation in Asia / China resembles that of Japan before WWII. Not to mention mounting environmental problems. And the mounting political instability where by tea party Republicans are on a war footing with Democrats and vice versa. S…

If pi ratio " was" squared and = 9.8 m/s/s how would this change the whole of science? To continue, and if their was "a physical unit of measure" to prove pi ratio squared "is" = 9.8 m/s/s provided for the science community, how could this be tested to be proven physically? I am aware that frequencies waves travel exponentially to infinity either in a medium and or vacuum. I am 100% certain, that our concept of infinity " does " have an end, within a system's metric of measure. If it is true that 9.8 m/s/s is due to acceleration on the earth's surface, then the issue is defining 1 as in my findings states that 1 = 0^.5 "exponentially" in relation to accel…

-------- I claimed to quit. But I see, from your answers, that I can’t. In fact my post was not to discus the idea of critical density, but the forces that interact with each other. I consider the problem very simple: If you fire a rocket in “radial direction” it will move up until fuel is spent, and after--- rocket will return again in the spot you have fired. This is because the force of firing and the force of gravity are the only forces that are interacting in radial direction. When I say “ radial direction “ I mean you have eliminate step by step, the third force of inertial gravity-- (which is perpendicular with radial direction)-- with a your second antagonist fu…

One of the fundamental postulates of special relativity, the constant velocity of light in all reference of frame, though experimentally correct, it is illogic and unrealistic to human’s mind. And this is what makes special relativity a puzzle, and for many, hard to take. I believe this velocity oddness is due to what I can call the illusion of reference of frame. Allow me to get myself clear: When we are in cars we see trees and people moving when they are not. Or, simple, we see the sun rising and setting every day when it is not moving. Now we had fallen in the same illusion: Light doesn’t move; matter shrinks on itself and makes us think that light is moving (…

Problem Statement: Recently, I ran SETI@home on my computer. I placed a white and shiny Aluminium plate underneath the heat exhaust fan lobe/openings of my CPU-something looks like the car radiator model but I don`t know the appropriate word. The exhaust lobe became hot after the PC was on for a while. And of course the aluminuim plate became hot after a while. But when I removed the plate, it became cool within not more than 30 seconds. We know that white and shiny surface is a good heat reflector and black and dull surface is a good heat radiator/absorber. My question is how is it possible that the white and shiny surface aluminium plate could turn out to be a g…

A confusing “elegant formula” ( Sure “ confusing” only for a lay man) It is about formula of “critic density of universes matter” ( m * ( Ho * R ) ^ 2 ) / 2 = ( G * m / R ) * ((4 * pi / 3 ) * ( R ^ 3 * ρ c )) ( Ho * R ) ^ 2 = ( ( 4 * pi ) / 3 ) * ( G * R ^ 2 * ρc ) ) * 2 My confusion is here: On the left side we have Hubbles square velocity “ (Ho * R )” caused by ????!!!.(B.B) On the right hand we have square velocity “ ( G * R ^ 2 * ρc ) “ caused by gravity. -The “ B.B velocity is a radial velocity. -The gravity velocity is a tangential circ…

Gamma radiation. That ionises the core. ''electromagnetic waves that carry enough kinetic energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them''. ''Ionizing radiation occurs in the environment from naturally occurring radioactive materials and cosmic rays''. ''Ionization is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons. '' So by all the of above, the Earth reaches a thermodynamic equilibrium , the mantle etc, reaching maximum ''curie'' point of equal , equilibrium to the core of Electrostatic/Electromagnetism energy, making the ''outer casing of the motor, no longer effectiv…

L.S. I have published two for pay articles on evolution theory at Smashwords (an Internet publisher). I hope some experts at evolution theory are willing to read them, cogitate on them and write reviews about them. This in the hope that they will then get noticed and sell - because at the moment they do not sell at all. If interested, please send me a mail. The one is about the evolution of the guttural pouches of horses. That one was a spin off from the other, longer article - which is about evolution as a teleological process.
