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 have developed a proof (truth) that explains all phenomena. Do i go for mathematical studies or physics studies to develop skills to make it into a theory/proof/law?

Light is emitted from processes that (as far as I know) involve a rapid reorganization of charged particles and this light is emitted into an environment that is full of other charged particles that will adapt to any changes in EM fields and by adapting will also cause 2y adaptations etc etc. Taking into account the speed of light,a reaction that would`ve lasted perhaps a picosecond would take a lot longer to be registered by an observer as i/it would take time for the particles in any detector to move in response to the field ii/ it would be impossible to separate the effect of the surroundings from the localized effects from the actual reaction.As the rest of the univer…

I once had an experience of light as constituted by equal and opposite exponentials. The second derivative of the complex exponential function (-e^(ix)) and the second derivative of the complex logarithmic function (-i/z^2) seem to provide an analogy. i*ln''(z) = -i/z^2 (as the location of the observer, the model-maker, the measurer) provides the inverse square relationship that we attribute to gravity--"gravity" a function of perception, not force? (The Weber-Fechner Law and other evidence support the idea that all perception might be logarithmic.) It's crazy, I know--but it would eliminate the need for dark energy and dark matter. And a complex exponential "space…

Hello ALL "Shut up and calculate" (P.Dirac). But it can be stricly proved that Universe is a sub-set of fundamental Set “Information”, so we cam say now: "be calm and calculate" since "Nature laws" as well as mathematics at all are inherent to the information. - see http://arXiv.org/abs/physics/0703043 , V5 (and may be the first couple of pages in V1). Some analogs, i.e. the conjectures that Universe is some "ensemble" – see, e.g., "the Everything list" http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/about including the papers: "A Computer Scientist's View of Life, the Universe, and Everything", Juergen Schmidhuber; "Is "the theory of everything'' …

I just viewed a video on You tube about a ghost light, i wasn't impressed but it got me to thinking... I have seen a ghost light, used to be one associated with a set of old railroad tracks near where I live. I saw it one night, it came to within 15 to 20 feet of me, it was a dull red glow, maybe as big as a baseball moving about head height between the rails, it was visible for a couple minutes as it traversed a hundred meters of tracks toward me and blinked out and when i turned to look it was behind me moving away. It followed the tracks and i figured it was some sort of electrical phenomena. Of course locals had a legend about a train conductor who lost his head o…

Brilliant forum. As an inquisitive naif, it struck me that the puzzle of the ~ 85% (yep, wikipedia) missing matter in the universe might easily be solved if we conceived of space itself as having some substance. (I think in previous centuries it may have been called 'the ether'?) Why bother with dark matter if space is stuff too? I'd love to know why this is wrong.

There is an associate professor - Christos Tsagas from Greece - (from an article on http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/1795-accelerating-universe-dark-energy-illusion.html) "a new theory suggests that the accelerating expansion of the universe is merely an illusion, akin to a mirage in the desert. The false impression results from the way our particular region of the cosmos is drifting through the rest of space, said Christos Tsagas, a cosmologist at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Our relative motion makes it look like the universe as a whole is expanding faster and faster, while in actuality, its expansion is slowing down — just as would be expected fro…

Greetings all. I have been working on this theory over the last two years. A warning this is a very unconventional theory, it only came to light recently, and is related to my special study's. This will include research I have done in order to make global climate change theory possible to every reader. I formed the theory to account for the recent flurry of questions about ice ages, and Global warming. The information I will include will have as many Facts as possible for this very simple Ice age theory. Before you post your concerns, give me a few days to gather all the pertinent data for the possibility of review. Background information, define my vie…

You may have seen some mention of this paper which came out recently in Phys. Rev Letters. How Stable is the Photon? http://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.021801 Basically, the author assumed the photon had mass, which would allow it to decay to something less massive. He applied this to the CMB. If photons were decaying, it would affect the frequency distribution of the light we observe, which puts a constraint on the lifetime of the photon — 3 years in its rest frame (if it has mass, it has a rest frame) but owing to time dilation, it's 10^18 years in our frame. Which limits how much mass a photon could possibly have. Contained with…

Timecube is a theory that was first proposed by a scientist named Gene Ray; he designed a website in 1997 called www.timecube.com, and here he wrote his theory that time is cubic-- he provided a few hours worth of logic to support it. I've been studying the theory for eight years, and would consider myself adept; especailly at explaining concepts in wise ways. In this thread I will try and teach the Timecube principle in a way that the less-educated can understand. Gene Ray asserts that everything in the universe exists between and as opposites, and that opposites are the harmonics of creation; opposites exist only as opposites, and nothing as singularities. For example…

The problem is social networking could also bring in the trolls to this site, which clearly this site deals with. There are people, like us, who take science seriously and take it in as an important aspect into understanding the Universe. Others see it as a joke. A majority of people on Earth, in fact, think of science as a joke. Most people on Facebook are the people that think science is a joke. If we invite them we will get a crowd that will most likely not benefit the community here. That is just my two cents.

Mathematics... I've seen lists concerning this topic, as well as forums discussing the greatest human inventions, even the scientific method is included, mathematics (essentially a method) is however, absent. I've even seen people stating outright that mathematics is a discovery, not an invention, this is the greatest insult to the geniuses who came before us, whom worked so hard to attach mathematics to nature and, to be embedded into nature. Mathematics is found in nature, for anyone who doesn't know, because they made it so, that's why there are many estimations, and many infinite values (such as the famous Pi). Without mathematics, we'd still be living in caves.…

THE UNIFIED SPECTRUM OF LIGHT THE HYPERBOLIC LIGHT PULSE & THE INERTIAL STRUCTURE OF GRAVITY The perfect curve is the median wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum is simplified from this equilateral vantage point. The full spectrum range can be represented in one un- polarized light pulse, or one spectral sphere. That sphere is the hyperbolic torus. It may be subdivided into seven separate hyperboloids each with a 15 degree conical range. Pure color and temperature is the median of each range. These separate hyperboloids coincide exactly with the seven pure color tones and the twelve natural musical tones when subdivided appropriatel…

I know it is just a theory, but what if the ancient egyptians did harness the power of electricity. If what i have been reading has any truth, they were probably more advanced than we are in terms of clean energy. The way they built the great pyramid of giza, and where they built it is pretty interesting. No soot has been found in any of the tombs or pyramids, yet they were able to paint accurate paintings in complete darkness. At the moment it's all speculation and i'm sure no one is in a rush to fund any actual research into the matter. (free electricity might make some very rich people poor).

I came out with an equation for cognitive acquisition some time ago. I'm not sure if the actual math exists yet but here is the updated equation. U = y(o) T = (y(u), 'y(u)') M = P(u|t) U is a unit of knowledge Y is any positive whole number including zero T is time '' is a string M is meaning P() is probability of ... In light of my recent enlightenment, I know that time is better off as a tuple (not a dictionary), which makes alot more sense to me for dispositional purposes, and that is why I rewrote the equation that I have worked so hard for for all these years.

Could there be more to the ice melting than just the temperature of the climate? How 'bout all the chemicals that are produced in cleaning solvents? Could they be picked up and spread thru the atmosphere? I wonder how many could be linked to preventing or changing the freezing temperature for water. Anyone got a clue?
