Speculations

Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.

Speculations Forum Rules

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Hi again I would like to thanks to science forums for giving me opportunity to share a very different and more simply view on physics I promise I will not come to speculations thread ever again. I have learned a lot from science forums and I will try to learn more. I would like to finish this speculation threads of mine with two words super symmetry. cheers

  2. I have a rough-draft schematic of a robotic operation that can help harness the energy released from a fusion event and turn it electricity to do more mechanical work while turning some of that electricity back into energy for the lasers. A lot of it has to do with the properties of the materials. Of course you don't want to cover the entire perimeter of the nuclear pulse or else the device won't turn out any energy to power other devices so I did better than simple photovoltaics although it does still use those that is just one of three ways the energy from fusion is harnessed and put back in to attempt to cause more fusion. Luckily you need less energy after it starts b…

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break any rules. Just trying to help. Stephen said you have a measure of control over the higher levels if you secure the foundation. I know you live and work in the higher levels and don't want to hear from someone in the sandbox, but from down here it looks like the hole thing is about to fall. I implore you to at least consider a reboot: a paradigm shift that will secure the foundation and answer many questions.

    Liquid drop model revisited The liquid drop model explains forces in atomic nucleus as they were created by tiny liquid drops. It is based partially on theory and partially on empirical measurements. In this revisited model The visible universe is seen as bubble/nucleus of liquid with diameter of 8.8x10e26m.In the further text big bubble. The galaxies inside the bubble are seen as a nucleons.In further text small bubbles. For simplicity of calculation we are going to use average size of galaxies. The number of galaxies inside the visible universe is Ng=2x10e12. Th…

    "...I feel there is a fundamental point here. I feel helpless if I'm taken around a strange town of which I can't form a picture. We all need a mental map of the world showing where we are. Of course our picture will have many layers of which the physical description is only one. Nevertheless it is the bed rock on which all other structures are based. If we have secured the foundation, we have a measure of control over the higher levels. The physical laws that govern the universe are usually expressed in the form of mathematical equations. For most people , this has created a great barrier to understanding. But equations in physics are like the financial app…

    The guidelines for this Speculations Forum mention the concept Wild Ass Guesswork (WAG). I rather favor a term I learned in the military, SWAG, sophisticated wild ass guess. Well, maybe not real sophisticated, but to at least some degree. An ultimate goal of mine is this question: What would it mean if there is an upper limit to the size of a black hole? For now, I stop on the major concept and begin with a minor one that is important to the larger. I have read widely about spacetime but not deeply. I am not good with mathematics. I am aware of and comfortable with the concept: “matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to…

    To say that I have no testable predictions is not true. I have predicted that now, with dark energy, dark matter and neutrinos coming into focus. The corner stone of the big bang theory of creation, the CBR, can now be taken away from big bang and reassigned. Fred Hoyle's and Herman Bond's "steady state" theory deserves another look. At the time big bang was born, it won the day because there could not be an argument made for a collapsing cloud of alpha particles raining down on earth. Now there can be. I'm not saying that Hoyle and Bondi were dead on correct but they were closer than big bang to answering the question, how did matter come to be? As far as somet…

  8. Hypotheses about the functioning of subatomic particles The universe is made up of space-time, according to the relativistic position, and time and space are inseparable. Furthermore, in quantum mechanics we find something practically incomprehensible, which would be how such small particles can contain so much energy. This hypothesis proposes the following: In the universe there would be unobservable places, as if it were another dimension, which would connect points within the observable universe. They would be like channels through which subatomic particles travel. Subatomic particles would be like access keys or passwords to these channels, th…

  10. There are multiple documented cases during world war II of mothers having premonitions over the death of their son or daughter. The pattern is usually the following: a strong emotional bond between mother and child, mother not necessarily thinking about their son or daughter, but suddenly feeling a pit in the stomach then knowing with certainty that he/she had passed away. Some say they heard in their heads their sons daughter cry out for help. The death was usually confirmed later with actual time of death coinciding with the moment of the premonition moment. This is not proof of anything, but, once again, should not be dispelled without investigation.

  11. Around nine years ago now I noticed that when I look at somebody or another living being they react to it. The responses can include; a blink, raised eyebrows, a flinch, look up, look in my direction, or just a general change in trajectory. This phenomenon is known as a gaze response, and the most prominent researcher that I have come across studying it is Rupert Sheldrake. It is not understood how it happens as there is no physical medium or connection in between people as to how it could happen and so it is a non-local phenomenon (locality means that something can only effect something in direct contact/ immediate proximity with it). However, around seven years ago I no…

    I have given a prediction that can be tested by the experiment that I have designed. Once again, I predict that when I create a true vortex it will cancel earth's gravity in a halo around itself. The intensity of the vortex or mesotron will determine the size of the halo. And there was no big bang, just a fairly smooth transition from pre-atomic energy to atomic energy.

    I understand your need for mathematical proof. With all due respect, I believe you already have the math you need to understand the initial vortexes of my hypothesis. It is Einstein's math that, by the way, is the same math you reversed in time to come up with the big bang concept. Instead of an explosion creating atomic matter, Einstein's direction in time would have created collapsing and condensing of clouds of energy particles being forced toward atomic, star, spiral galaxy, and quasar ignitions. (mesotron solves the unified field theory puzzle). Sadly, I cannot mathematically prove mesotron ,but I can visualize it because I see it everywhere in NASA and other ima…

    Can the expansion of the universe be explained in terms of time dilation? If we accept observational evidence at face value, it appears that all the matter and energy in the universe was originally confined to an extremely small space. Would the extremely high density of the early observable universe not lead logically to a universe that, given the initiation of expansion, expands at an accelerating (but also uneven) rate in accordance with the distribution of matter and energy in space? Where there is less gravity, time moves faster, right? So wouldn't it make sense that the cosmic voids would expand at a faster and faster rate relative to the galactic cen…

    Are there some specific evolutionary advantages to religiosity or did it simply evolve as a byproduct of the higher cognitive functions? I'm asking because all premodern societies (and a significant portion of modern ones) were religious in one way or another.

  18. I watched "The Phenomenon" last night, I have to say it was the best UFO documentary I've seen. It blowed my former fav out of the water and then some. It had lots of footage of people who ere involved back in the day and other footage I had never seen. I thought I'd pretty much seen them all but this one resets the bar. It really too bad it's not on youtube so we could go through it by timestamp, lots of interesting things to discuss! I would ask anything here who wants to discuss the UFO subject to watch this video, really great stuff and relatively unbiased, "just the Facts ma'am" (vague TV reference, Dragnet"

  20. Is Wikipedia reliable? i keep hearing that since everyone can edit it, its not a good place to get information. You see, if anyone can edit a page/article at any time then if anything changes then it can be fixed. While a normal britannica article for example cant be changed (at least not easily) after it has been made. And yes, i am aware that companies can edit wikipedia too- but so what? You can always edit it back. I really dont see companies changing an article about abraham lincoln or anything like that. what are your thoughts, am i forgetting something?

  21. Speculation: So one thing I observe is that everything is so "fresh and new". We are not hampered by anything from the past. This makes sense as according to modern theory everything came from an "infinite point" and evolved over billions of years. So in effect this is a new "time". The question is were there any previous "times". According to Roger Penrose (scientist), this universe is born from the collapse of a previous one. In effect there is an eternal cycle of expansion and contraction. The question is were there were any "earth worlds" previously in time? And if so were they more connected to that of previous times? For us we are not connected to previous…

    The calculations used for a) just two orbital objects had to reintegrate the lagrange coordinate (gravitational equilibrium between them) in order to continuously adjust the derivative for the same reason that b) the 3 body problem or even c) the theory of expansion, were posed in the first place. Point a) As you move about in the z plane not only does gravity's effects at a distance (dz/dt) have to be recalibrated (the gravitational constant as an integral of the inverse square law), but also the curvature of space has to be accounted for, that is because space is curved and not flat. I was exposed to the same amount of algebra and trig that Newton …

The simplest cause of the accelerating expansion of the universe I have an idea that could be the simplest explanation of the accelerating expansion of the universe. I'm surprised that I've never found such a simple explanation anywhere on the Internet. My idea is born from the fact that in the center of almost all the galaxies there is a super massive black hole. The objects near the black hole have a spiral mo…
