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.

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... Questions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I create a clone of anothe…

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…

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 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.

I don't know the facts surrounding this issue, but I regularly hear that water is the only substance that expands when it freezes. (Personally I don't trust such a sweeping statement). But I also hear that we remain clueless as to why. It's the why I am speculating on. I just imagine that it has something to do with the motion of the molecules as it relates to temperature, and the hydrogen bonds that I seem to gather are an attractive force between the molecules. A lower temperature slows the motions of the molecules, and perhaps the reduced speed inhibits the expression of the hydrogen bond attractions, and conversely, perhaps the hydrogen bonds become more expressed…

I wondered if this idea had already been run through, that Saggitarius a* had an electromagnetic field so immense and powerful that it encompassed the whole galaxy and kept it from flying apart. Yeah, probably what a third grader would say, but I hadn't seen that idea in any forum, just talk that dark matter is an as yet undiscovered particle.

Once there was a man of science. Well trained in the arts of physics and cosmology. He was held in high esteem by pretty much everyone in his field. One day he decided to have a dinner party for a very special group of people; Time travelers. So he advertised the date of the party and made his intentions well known in hopes that he might find some interesting dinner conversation with those from the future and perhaps even the past, and/or different dimensions all together. The table was set and the dinner prepared and although many come to eat, there was only one time machine in the room, and it's perspective was not enough to feed them. And so they left him, b…

Perhaps infinite is a relative term. Does the photon posses infinite energy? Maybe it's not massless but rather it's infinite mass is spread out over an infinite ray of distance making it appear massless. And the Higgs boson would ofcourse be intersections of these rays whereby some part of the infinite mass/distance is converted back to energy. This would create a field where larger massive objects would have some difficulty reaching light speed. Merging rays might explain velocity time dialations. The more photons produced the faster the universe would expand, Thus dark energy. Just a thought.

Some years back I had seen a presentation titled "Power of 10" where slides detailing the realm of the very small (gluons etc) to the very large (galactic clusters etc.) were listed. I was wondering whether it is possible in theory for a subsystem to have an opposing set of laws to the macro environment. For example, could we have a subsystem where entropy increases as a subset of a larger system where the entropy increases? My answer is no for the concept of local cannot be dissociated from the whole and to enable seamless integration and conformity practical reasoning avers that the subset cannot exist independent of the whole. For example, we might be tem…

IS IT GRAVITY THE MAIN SOURCE OF MOVEMENT? MAY BE THE ONLY? Kramer, doesn’t recall where he read once that scientists are puzzled about cause that make cosmic bodies to spin around their axis. That’s very simple to solve it! “--- He told me.---- It is a known boaster that lay man Kramer. But let be patient with him and throw down step by step his mode of reasoning. Kramer say: 1 – The velocity of planets depends by gravity of sun and by the precise distance “Rsun-planet” from center of sun to the point where is the center of gravity of planet. Vg1 = ((G*Msun) / Rsun,planet.)^0.5 Is it that true? 2 – But planet is not a point. It has …

I thought what if gravity is a curve like in relativity but not in most diagrams, I was thinking since we have 3D dimension with 4D as spacetime it could be a sphere with spacetime actually pressing against the Earth. Earth: Creates curve in spacetime which is a sphere since we live in a 3D Universe with 4D as spacetime Atmosphere: Is trapped by the gravity pushing against it Red Gravity layer: It touches the surface of the Earth and the closer the more dense the gravity is. In the very edge to orange is the zone where things can orbit Earth that are small. Red and Orange Gravity layer: Larger objects are able to orbit cause the distance is farther away from earth…

for any discretization accuracy obtain a finite number of possible variants for the lifetime of civilization / universe. for example, there is an upper limit on what we can see on the monitor for a finite interval or record a digital camera or microphone, including if they record what sees and hears people. also there are limits to what people can write on your computer (etc. all posts, messages). furthermore there is a limit on the number of possible changes in sequences of bits in a computer. or another, all computers in the world. so, variants can't be repeated periodically not, within the meaning of that its can't be unique…
