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 was thinking about this the other day, could evolution and natural selection prove that reincarnation exists? Basically an organism needs a constant life/death cycle to improve itself. Through DNA it can keep track of things from one life to the next. The DNA code is constantly making random changes to itself, if something is so undesirable natural selection will cause those combination of genes not to be passed on. So that particular mutation will die out. Whatever is desirable gets passed on in the DNA during procreation. What has me stumped is how its keeping track and not repeating that particular mutation. Or its not thus we have things like ident…

In response to the thread " Something from nothing " I would like to pose a Theory which I have found covers the whole Shebang, namely " the LoT " It is not stated in mathematical form. It is not some fundamental particle , force , etc. It is a lingual or language based statement: It can be built on with other principles and Mathematics as and if required. Quote I have found this works well. Covers Big Bang and before. The whole Shebang, namely " the LoT , ( including Scientific Principles that can be verified)" TRY IT OUT . It works . Edited by Mike Smith Cosmos, 11 March 2011 - 09:41 PM. . originally submitted in "Do you have a n…

Rather than thinking of space as being a stage on which the universe plays out its existence. Could not space be composed of the very stuff the universe is made of ( mainly fields ) . Can the Gold Fish not finally wake up to the fact it is NOT floating around in nothing. But rather is swimming about in water. Instead of space being nothing , can it not BE the sum total of all FIELDS . In which everything , is, moves and exists. We are in a SOUP. or are in the SOUP . Mike Ps. I have a recent 'Observation or two ' to back this up !

The gravitational field has a strong influence, but it will affect how the optics? To find the answer, we will return to the 19th century with the aether theory.

There have been hundreds of therories regarding time travel, but which, if any, if accurate? Right now there is no known way to switch through different times in history. What is Time Travel? Dictionary.com explains it as a hypothetical transport through time into the past or the future, but is it? Many people believe that time travel must involve the ability to effect the strands of time as we know it. But, if that is true, than couldn't the slightest change effect the human races existence? And if so, couldn't people start a new crime industry, going through time and changing things that should really be left alone? Is the human race even ready for the power involved in…

The universe is rapidly expanding, and as we know: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Gravity is a universal field effect generated as an equal & opposite reaction to the force of universal expansion. By analogy, an elevator car traveling upwards produces downwards G-force, pressing an occupant into the elevator floor. A jet accelerating forwards on a runway produces backwards G-force, which causes a passenger to be pushed into the seatback. So, upward thrust produces downward G-force, while forward thrust produces backwards G-force. An outwardly expanding universe produces inward G-force at every point within itself. This universal force pushe…

Whether this post belongs to the domain of motivation theory or compound probability or sociology or game theory or even abstract philosophy is hard to determine. The gist of my argument goes thus "In a research project of n people with n1 people having a skill level of s1, n2 with s2...and so on", the optimum combination is a minimum number of n2 (where n2 > n1) with an exposure to the project lower than that of n1 (where exposure is measured in man-hours)", and others allocated along the same lines by extension of the same principle. To illustrate consider a research project done by 3 individuals. Two of these have knowledge factors of 0.5 (an index of comfo…

RESEMBLANCE AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO ATOMS When scientists say that disintegration of Neutron consists with an electron, one proton and one antineutrino, I make comparison with hydrogen and find the same, or quasi the same. But is it known that neutron occupy a volume very small, instead hydrogen atom a quite formidable one. For scientist, the fact of occupation of space by mass particles is a solved problem, or am I wrong? I am a layman, and I see very strange “the statements” that elementary mass particles are points and indeed without volume. I suppose that a debate about this theme will help to clear view -point of lay-mans, about “statements”.

This is the unification of the gravitational force with the electromagnetic force,Theory of Everything.The unification has been done by following two ways,the results being identical.The first way is represented by the analogue atom-supergalaxy.The second way is represented by the equality between gravitational force law and electrostatic force law.In the universe the mass of a body is represented by m=(4 x pi x epsilon0 x G)-1/2 x q and the electrical charge of a body is represented by q=(4 x pi x epsilon0 x G)1/2 x m .Using these formulas I have calculated the electrical charge of the supergalaxy,the galaxy and the solar system.For example the Galaxy has q=+-2.5 x 1031…

This is not the Universe of Chaos. It is the Universe of the consequences, but we are not aware of all of them, and it is to every last atom and the last molecule. This is so since the time and distance were made and applied, ie, Entropy. If everything were paralyzed because there were no time and distance, entropy does not exist. And another thought: We're just an effect of the chemical in an entropic Universe. But chemistry was foreseen at the time of the big bang, and with it, it was also foreseen that we would appear and we would do what we do. Because this reason we are here and we do what we do. Perhaps this means nothing, but it is strange, weird and…

These 3 things are talked about big because of their importance and ect. and but I have convincing true answers that are similar but a little different...and well simply convincing so am I right and give me feedback about them. Like give feedback and if true or false............ The universe is indeed empty space with balls in it, but it could have had a start because thinking back and back and back, what, it always was like that?....so there could have been a start/big bang thing going on maybe with multiple universe balls in a biger ball and overlaying dimensions ect. but the possiblility of it being just always like so with balls in it moving around could, be, too …

A recently learnt that there is a gloun field that also is seen as the reason for mass. A gloun has spin a Higgs boson doesn't. What stands against assuming they are the same particle in and out of spin? And what is there against the idea that the missing graviton is the field that causes this spin of the Higgs boson thus becoming a gluon just before entering a string? If so I then don't see how this graviton can ever be detected, other than as a theoretical necessity.

here is my theory on the universe... I think the universe is not as big as we think. I think we are seeing the same stars, planets or whatever many times over and over AND over because of gravity. I think there is a central part and when we look into space we are seeing our sight pulled by gravity. We are basically seeing the same planet but farther away, we think. Because the sight is a lot farther. The farther a planet seems away, the older it seems. think of looking in a circle, with the stars also altering the way it goes. You see the same planet but never the same spot because of all the stuff moving. The Universe never come to an end, Gravity does not allow t…

Why not have a little fun and consider an alternative to the big bang? Big bang doesn't describe a beginning, just a change in state. But before the bang? What caused the bang? No answers. Posit the universe consisting of only bosons and objects made of bosons. Sort of like today, only different, and, like today, not in a steady state. Something changed, just a bit, just enough to cause fermions to precipitate out of the bosonic environment. No need for a singularity. No need for a particular central starting point. Just a process sort of like condensation in the atmosphere, happening everywhere more or less all at once.

I have posted straight into the trash can, I know my place. Gravity explained that the Earth wants to go straight/linear, away from the Sun but can not. Like the ball on a string that is attached to a central pole and hit with a racket. It will rotate the pole. NEW idea, it is not the entire Earth that wants to go forward/linear, but only the Earth's core, been equal to the Sun's polarity and been repelled. Where as the crust etc, is been attracted to the Sun, and also attracted to the Earth's core. In short - It is not the Earth trying go straight like Einstein and co thought, but the core itself.

So, here's a great question, I think. Could we throw an artificial intelligence at the sun and have it use the sun's energy to solve life's problems? I reason if it could be pre-programmed to solve complex issues and use the sun's energy to generate a wormhole, it could back here might fast, possibly converting the sun's energy into matter, thus enabling wormhole generators and the like around our solar system. Here is how I envision this: Scientists make an artificial intelligence with various tasks to complete - Test theories - Compute possibilities - Turn energy into mass - See if a wormhole can be made They then take this advanced AI with ma…

In computer science, a B-tree is a tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time. My contention is that internally human memory could be analogous to this structure, albeit with a very large number of leaf nodes. When a particular activity takes place that was done before, it is validated against past experiences based on the b-tree search, and if the experience is analogous to an already experienced set of phenomena, then the course of action is more or less in line with that taken earlier. This could explain the concept of a reflex arc. For oft repeated actions the response …

Hi guys, If any one comes out with ideas in the next few weeks, relating to light and the reflection off mass, and you can see a light wave in color on your finger tips, that is because it is my theory and with proof. These pics, are with a torch, the volcano shape is actually the waves, I have seen these in an experiment with my eye, I need a sunny day to continue and try to get the picture in full color. A flash light doe's not have the same effect has daylight. I uploaded these pics to other forum after long explanations, and they instantly banned me. I fear this may be to steal my thoughts, as already I have seen current topic on you tube rela…

Superluminal communication is postulated to be false. Entangled states cannot transmit information spontaneously faster than the speed of light. Or so the argument goes. We all know that the Universe is held together by gravity. Gravity is "carried" by gravitons. The Universe does not "fall apart". The force of attraction from the most remote galaxy is almost zero at a very large distance. It tends to zero (by limit -> infinity) by does not actually become zero. It "holds" albeit very feebly, the most remote stellar system in the Universe, when distance is measured from its coordinates. That is why the Universe does not fall apart. Gravitation is always attractive …

It has been a serious question on my mind. While many here dont know me. I am privilidged to know some who are in the inner workings of our government. I know two things currently, well make it three. 1. Our federal government will soon inact a military police state. This is intentional, and of course with purpose. One of the reasons for this is my reason number 2. 2. We are now well into the last stage of a complete economic failure. While safeguards are in place. It is only designed to slow it down. But currently it has only slowed it a little. This collapse has started and will continue to do so. The ramifications of this collapse will be severe. This is especial…

The entire history of revolutions in human thinking is full of examples in which complicated human-centered theories gave its place to simple explanations in which human is just a part inside a system and because of this fact, he has a subjective view. In the beginning, people thought the earth was flat, because that was what everybody observed. However, there were fundamental inconsistencies with this model, both mathematical and logical. Additionally, human couldn’t feel the motion of the earth and thus, believed their eyes and tried to explain the skies with the assumption that earth was the center of the universe. However, things were getting far too complicated, and…

Ahead is a discussion between Mr. Joe, Mr. JR, and Guglinski, in the blog Journal of Nuclear Physics. Physics of rotating and expanding black hole universe « Journal of Nuclear Physics From the discussion we get the following indisputable conclusion: "the light nuclei with equal pair quantity of protons and neutrons violate the monopolar nature of the electric charges" Joe April 10th, 2014 at 1:59 AM Wladimir, I repeat what I answered in (1). Electric charge has a monopolar nature. And the direction of the magnetic moment that is induced by its rotation is dependent only on the direction of that rotation. That is what we know empirically. The other variables …
