Speculations

This issue would normally be part of the flow of a thread dealing with some particular aspect or example of the field, but as that seems to have become impossible for some reason, in a manner similar to the situation with CO2 hazards (a concerted body of organized and supported denialists simply trash the issue whenever it comes up), perhaps a thread - or even, as with climate change, a subforum? - dedicated to the general topic might come in handy, bleed off the bullshit into one pond. It might also be a place where I am allowed to post in reply to some of the more obviously irresponsible or poorly motivated denialist responses to my observations elsewhere, eh? …

I was thinking that this could be used to accelerate spaceships. Here is the hypothisis: If i have a closed system with a disk that moved up and down, and the disk was made to spin by a motor at the top of the system and made to stop spinning at the bottom of the system, the whole system would feel a force that would accelerate it upwards. The system could have a similar disk that moved up and down but spun the opposite direction than the first to stop the whole system from spinning. I have thought about how It mightn't work, such as if you spun up the disk, would it lose translational inertia? I think no, since according to relativity, there is no preferred…

Hello all! New to the forum, and thought I would share some of my current theories! I have long ago started breaking down these thoughts, and now 18 years later am starting to see it coming together. I get places with this theory through skepticism from myself and others, so please comment either way! I see people today being stuck somewhere between what we see in front of us, what we see above us, what we see below us, and what we see behind us (metaphorically or literally). We know E = MC2 but how does that apply to our lives? Saying for a second Japan's mathematicians were correct in assuming we are a 3D projection from a 2D surface, and also string theory and …

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox The BanachTarski paradox as I've heard it basically says that you can "disassemble an orange and then reassemble it into 2 oranges identical to the first." You can do this mathematically on a set of points but you can't do it with a real orange because it requires taking it apart into uncountably infinite points, I think, and you can't take apart quanta of matter like that. I'm wondering if reasoning in the opposite direction is useful. Outline: 1. Assume that matter isn't quantized, and any piece can be split into several smaller pieces. 2. Find a way to partition a sphere according to the B-T …

Did anyone see this program on the Military channel? It is a scenario with Michio Kaku and others. Suppose ETs were headed for Earth, what are they after? The planet, and we would be in their way. So they would work at getting rid of us. First EMPs set off over all major cities would reduce us to before electricity, we would be blinded. Then they could pound the oceans with huge masses at high speed to create tsunamis to destroy all coastal populations, where most people live. Then, finally, they would develope a bio-weapon to spread on birds. In the scenario, enough humans survived to attempt to fight back with technology that was shielded from the EMPs. We were abl…

im not one for been absolute on anything but after watching a TV program, that was based on time the universe an the effects of it all on the everyday day life on earth an the basic operations and physics of the universe. The program stated that time travel to the future is possible cause every eventuality is cast upon the space time continuum ready to unfold like a flicker movie showing single frame pictures, im not ruling out that it could be possible, but i think to my self that how can travel to the future be possible if time is relative, how can thing have already happened if were are now in the present what i am saying is i don't think its possible as no ones future…

Before the advent of complex language which gave rise to humanity the late proto-humans must have realized that some members of the tribe were less "intelligent" than others. Some individuals tended to understand and succeed and some tended to cause confusion and fail. Humans are (and were) a little more clever than most animals and could notice that this ability to succeed tended to run in families and breed true. Perhaps they attempted to breed humans for intelligence but their only parameters for measuring intelligence were closely related to the ability to communicate with nature and one another. The rise of the human speech center might not have been mutation but…

I don't particularly want to go over old ground again here, but Gödel's theorems are proved for formal theories that satisfy some conditions. Not all systems satisfy there conditions. So in no way have you disproved these theorems at best you have systems in which you don't necessarily expect the theorems in the first place. The proviso here is that I am not exactly sure what you claims are.

Here's some weird theory I came up with, while I was taking bath. I'm not a scientist, only hard thinker I suppose. Before everyone starts saying I'm crazy, would be cool if someone who knows science gives some scientific fact this couldn't be possible and explain why, so we can close this thread... thanks! * When you think about yourself, deep inside, you think about something that never could not exist, something that is eternal... It is beyond our body, beyond everything imaginable...

Keep in mind I'm an average 15 year old kid. So i got done watching a documentary on black holes white holes and worm holes they kept talking about how they are all different but i proposed a theory. So lets say that a black hole is at the other end of the universe sucking in matter but that matter has to go somewhere instead of being highly condensed inside it jets out the material somewhere else faster than the speed of light through the fabric of the universe and it comes out at the other end which would be a white hole. Since they are connected in this theory it would be like a worm hole also.

Hi, I have some ideas about expansion, and I'd like to know if they are confirmed by observation. One idea give me a equation for expansion factor of space : given the age, t, and the age of the observer tO given the expansion factor, f, and the expansion factor of the observer (at t= tO) : fO the equation would be : ((tO-t)/tO)² + (f/fO)² = 1 Or it could also be : (log(tO-t)/log(t))² + (f/fO)² = 1 Could it be some how related to observations ? My idea is to establish a relation between "age" and "distance" similar to the relation between "time speed" and "relative speed" in special relativity Thanks (excuse my bad english : I used "fo…

This idea has occurred to me in the past but I never found much logic to support it. Now though it appears to me that this was also the result of an ancient science based on observation and logic. Mass can pre-exist gravity and inertia in another state such as energy but the means by which inertia can cause gravity is obscure to me.

Lets say today you had a test and you failed it. Next day, you buy a time machine and you go into the past. you tie up your past self and correct your test so that you pass the test. What would happen to the universe that you failed the test in?

Many have wondered how the influence of electric charge, magnetism ,gravity and other small entities can influence or be felt, or creat a field at the other end of the universe. We have a model of energy traveling vast distances on our very shores. Waves are produced by incremental action of breeze and wind on the sea or waterways. The energy transferred to the water waves enable them to travel huge distances and arrive on foreign shores. The water does not travel there, the mass does not travel there. The waves as energy does travel there. Could this be a good model as to the sort of principles involved for atomic based energies like :- Electricity, magnetism, g…

I've seen a somewhat recent "breakthrough" on YouTube. There were scientists who were experimenting on rats with enzymes that affect the extremities of DNA strands and have a repairing effect. What they've shown is that it seems to be reversing the aging process, but they don't want to make any extreme conclusions about it, let alone that it might actually be the holy grail of survival sciences. I didn't give it too much thought at the time, but someone contacted me earlier today in response to a craigslist posting. He called himself a doctor and I gathered from the message that he's probably an older man, he said that he's wondering if I have any clients who may like…

Hello guys, This paper contradicts everything we've been told about science and physics from the atomic structure to time , relativity , electric current , gravity and it explains every phenomenon including things like dark matter and dark energy. This paper was not created by me and full credit goes to the creator. I believe this paper is very interesting You can view the paper at : http://www.scribd.com/doc/210594145/UDT-By-abdulsalam-Al-mayahi-ToE if you have any questions,feedback or criticisms please comments. Short summary: This groundbreaking theory states that their is a particle that make up what we know as elementary particles; electrons,quarks,et…

The digits 0 to 9 all appear with the same frequency in numbers, so you could say that all the digits are equally important. Similarly, in the game of baccarat, only the digits 0 to 9 are treated as important. What if you wanted to prove that all the digits are important, using mathematics? You could make lists of digits and show that they are important. Perfect squares: 0,1,4,9 Square roots of perfect squares: 2,3 Prime numbers: 2,3,5,7 Fibonacci sequence: 1,2,3,5,8 Honeycomb structure: 6 Number of sides on a die: 6 Number with the most combinations on 2 dice: 7 Perfect cubes: 8 Next, make a frequency chart, with digit followed by number of times mentio…

I was reading a book by Professor Hawking, and he proposed that the universe might actually be just like the Earth: Finite in size, but with no bounderies. That is, one giant sphere where you can never fall off the edge, because if you keep moving in one direction you just end up back where you started. So, I realized something that that proposal of his implies: Imagine the sphere as one big 2D circle, and that you are at the zero degree point. Imagine there is something you want to observe at the 90 deegree point. The light only needs to travel a distance of ninety degrees to get to you, but since the universe is a sphere and light is emitted in every direction,…

What do we know about gravity; we know that on earth gravity acts on every object known to us here on earth, nothing escapes the gravitational attraction from Earth's inner core. And if we consider that everything on Earth share the same building blocks (atoms),then the attraction must relate to a part of the atom ; either the proton, electron or neutron. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom, called the nucleus, and the electrons 'orbit' the nucleus. A particular atom will have the same number of pro…

What kind of relationship do you imagine between virtual particles, which are well understood, and dark energy?

Now i have leant that how Black holes work to an exstent, there effects on the Universe and such,and recently reading Hawkings Proposal that black holes may not be black holes at all, has got me thinking how do they really work, no im only speculating at this point but what if a black hole is a continually evolving 2 dimensional but 3 dimensional object at the same time.. if all the laws of physics "go out the window" so to speak, who is to say it cant work this way, a 2 dimensional object instantaneously is the same time a 3 dimensional object to the observer ,yet surrounded by a 3 dimensnal event horizon, similar to a hypersphere, with no diameter an infinite mass, it …

I would like to speculate that in one Earth rotation four simultaneous days occur. Synergy between the Sun and the Earth creates four separate days: midnight, morning, midday, evening. In one full rotation, each time-point rotates through the other three time-points; for example, midnight will experience morning, midday and evening, and the same for each of them. Neither of the four days are an entity and they exist together as opposites; and opposites cancel each other out to zero-value existence. In other words, there need not be a name for each time-point across a squared equator, but the names I suggested are easy to remember representations of each of the time-points…

Hi, It is good to check the following link for this topic: <link removed>

Hi all, i have just thought about a idea (dont know what to call it properly). just stick with me on this. "Everything in this universe is defined in small words than it actually is". for eg: when banks place advertisements in tv they tell a lot less than what it actually is. also when a new star is discovered it is just defined in small words than it actually is. this applies for everything i feel so. and i have not come across any theory that states this idea. if it is already present my apologies.if not, please guide me what to do about it.
