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.

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…

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

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.

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…
