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.

Matter that dispersed via the big bang aggregated to form galaxies with definite shapes like spiral, barred-spiral and elliptical. Were these shapes defined by some pre-defined fractal algorithm that imparted symmetries across space? Why is it for example that we can't have a galaxy with a shape like a sphere. (which can be described by a rational number)? I think the same laws that apply to flowers for example also apply at the macroscopic level and this is seen in the phenomena above. Please elicit your opinion.

Let us consider a photon with a mass 1 + delta(i) where delta(i) is an imaginary component with a infinitesimally small order of magnitude. If we have 2 slits we can visualize 2 complementary pairs (1 + delta(i) and 1 - delta(i)). Total magnitude is 1 unit. These exist in an imaginary plane and cannot be exactly determined. (entangled). However when they hit the screen the two components show as light and dark bands. (as there are two complementary co-ordinates) but magnitude remains unchanged. n slits will have n such pairs. Please advise.

Hypothetically a particle that enters worm hole enters another universe. What if this universe is an anti universe? (with anti-gravity). Gravity is an attractive force but when the particle enters the boundary of the new universe anti gravity (which is repulsive) will cause the particle to exhibit simple harmonic motion in the worm hole rather than entering the new universe. Is this conceptually possible. Empirically it seems so.

When an object enters the gravitational field of a black hole it accelerates towards the singularity. According to E=mc^2 the object will gain energy and mass as its velocity increases. Since energy and mass cannot be created the increase in mass of the object must come from the black hole with a corresponding reduction in the mass of the black hole. If there are several objects being pulled towards the black hole gravity must transfer mass to all the objects and at some point the reduction of mass will cause it not to be a black hole. At that point does the singularity expand back to the size of a smaller neutron star and the black hole cease to exist? If gravity transfe…

Noam Chomsky schools a 9/11 conspiracy theorist http://www.openculture.com/2013/10/noam-chomsky-derides-911-truthers.html The specific subject in the video is 9/11 and the collapse of building 7, but that's not the intended topic of the thread, it's just an example — this applies to a wider spectrum of discussion. The focus here are the points in Chomsky's response — mainly that there is a proper method of getting the word out if you think you've made a legitimate scientific discovery. (Posting to discussion groups is not it.)

Each person has his or her own frame of reference for time which begins and ends at the instant the observer (say who is tracking a photon) collapses the associated wave function and an observation is registered. If 10 different observers moving at accelerated frames of reference observe the photon for the same interval as the one illustrated above they will have different times for t0 and t1, combining relativity with quantum mechanics. However normalization of all acceleration across all possible frames of reference across the whole "Universe" for that photon will produce a single time line. (apply limit as noofframes tends to infinity and integrate across all …

http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/info/press-releases/LonelyPlanet/ thats no free floating planet, thats Nibiru,in the constellation of Capricornus, same 21h as where Saturn is. I have known for a long time Nibiru was coming from that direction, it is where Uranus and Neptune were in the early 80's when they were being perturbed, so now they call it PSO J318.5-22, total DECEPTION, a free floating planet @ 80 light years would be a speck or invisible its now @ Pluto's orbit or closer

On the link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26262175/ClocksNotConfirmRelativity.pdf is presented one-page article, which clearly shows that the current interpretation of the theory of relativity, on the slowing down of clocks in motion and time dilation, is wrong.

In comparing the rotations of the two planets, Neptune and Jupiter, we find that if we divide a Jupiter day into the same divisions that an earth day has, 24 hours, with each hour having 60 minutes, and each minute having sixty seconds, and divide a Neptune day into twenty four hours, each hour having sixty minutes and each minute having sixty seconds, then a second on Jupiter is not the same amount of time as a second on Neptune. Jupiter rotates 1.62 times for every rotation of Neptune. We can apply this same principle to transitions of cesium isotope atoms. Scientists do not like for transitions of cesium isotope atoms to be considered this way. In fact, it seems ve…

Is It Possible to Artificially Induce Hair or Fur Growth All Over The Human Body? Believe it or not, I am on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to 'hair' or 'fur' in relation to the Human body.~ I highly desire to be covered in extremely thick 'hair' or 'fur' and I don't mean with certain parts exposed, I mean every inch completely covered including my ears, entire face, and the palms of my hands.~ This extremely thick 'hair' or 'fur' would be shaped 'squiggly' and be coarse much like our 'hair' that is presently found around our Human genitals and similar to the fur found covering Gorillas.~ Benefits: With this extremely thick 'hair' or 'fur…

I was told, genocide can cause an orgasm one-hundred times greater than sex; I guess that this happens by psychological impulses and chemical reactions in the body (such as adrenaline). Here the surroundings may play a part in our total orgasm; the things we look at, the things we relate to, we can have imaginative thoughts on the beauty of our metaphysical persona. If I had killed one-hundred men in an organized terrorist attack, the police fear that I am overcoming can be an enlightening prospect. We may feel ultra-masculine, and with religion applied, like hero's for an ultimate objective. The event that's unfolding is related to us in such complex ways, that we are ha…

I will quickly address my ideas on time. I think that time the measurement and actual time within the universe are two things that people confuse. Time the measurement is a man-made invention, it is very useful when predicting events and breaking down sequences of events. But time within the universe no more comes in seconds and minutes then it does miles and fluid ounces. Time the measurement can be reversed and manipulated at will. With it we can take “snapshots” of the universe and attach it to individual units (milliseconds, seconds, minutes etc) and interpolate the data from one frame to another. This is an extremely useful tool when it comes to analysing everyth…

There has to be a necessarily microscopic network of fluctuation correlators communicating with an external device that is capable of saving all the data and using recognizers (like a program using these tiny microphones as input)to dictate to the computer what is recognized with the fluctuation correlators. It's happening very rapidly, and the louder the noise (or the quantity of recognizers increased with one particular fluctuation) the more likely the person will act on that activity. This would be how you can use data to make an argument which is most likely reflecting the subjective conscious activity of the person of interest, but using this method, you can also de…

In 1905 Albert Einstein changed perception of relativity by his idea of time dilation, which scientists subsequently claim to have proven by experiment. To quote Einstein, describing two frames of reference, K and K', "An event, wherever it may have taken place, would be fixed in space with respect to K by the three perpendiculars x,y, and z and with regard to time by a time value t. Relative to K', the same event would be fixed in respect of space and time by corresponding values of x',y',z',t'." Einstein then substitutes the Lorentz equations in place of the Galilean transformation equations, which had been used with Isaac Newton's interpretation of absolute time bef…

HUGE CONTROVERSY: PLANCK’S ELECTRIC CHARGE ---- FACTUAL ONE. ( Lay-man’s motto: Trouble the waters for clarification. ) Comparing the Planck’s constants derived with base “h” (historically) after with “h tire” and the constants with base “ electric charge – e” we see that they differ from each other. by the square root of ‘constant of fine structure”. For example: Planck’s mass = ( h-tire * C / G ) ^ 0.5 = 2.176646195*10^-8 Kg. Electric mass = ( e / ( 4 * pi* ε0 * G ) ^ 0.5 ) = 1. 8593899458*10^-9 Kg. Planck’s mass = electric mass / sqrt α. Planck’s length = ( h-tire * G / C^3 ) = 1.61624*10^-35 m. Electric radius = R = ( e / ( (4 * pi * ε 0 …

Book was published by [link removed], and book is about aether and theory of relativity. More information about the book can be found on the website [link removed]. If you want to read book just type in your internet browser teorija etra branislav pavlovic In this book I present the main results of my scientific work. My theory is based on the hypothesis of the existence of aether. In my work, I have devoted great attention not only to theoretical considerations but also to t…

I have made a way to calculate a coefficient of drag based on what it would be if it was just a plate. I will give the coefficient of drag of a plate a name. I will just refer to it as just D. So, lets start simple. Lets say that we had a 2D plate and it was tilted at an angle θ from the x axis (axis orthogonal to direction of velocity. Then the drag coefficient would be Dcosθ. Now lets say it was not 1, but 2 plates and they are connected somehow. Now you have 2 angles, θ1 and θ2. If θ1=θ2, then it is still Dcosθ, but if θ1#θ2, then you need to find the average angle, or (θ1+θ2)/2 and so it is Dcos(1/2(θ1+θ2)) In fact, you can do this with a shape with any number of side…

It's the mathematical concept of "time" that I uncomfortable with. In a simulation model of the creation of structure, I can imagine structures forming from an external energy within a void which eventually become spinning neutrons, protons and galaxies. I don't need complex mathematics, just a visual model. "Time" is just a perception within the minds of human beings who observe structures moving relative to one another. Until atomic physics has a simulation model of the nucleus and electrons, then I'm not happy with mathematical modelling of time. I want a TOE that a layman can understand.

iNow, I think I can answer that challenge. I do have a source that is not currently considered because it is unknown to climate science at this time. It is straight forward and makes accurate predictions. It is the heat from the strain energy released by the mantle at the crust mantle boundary. This heat is released as the mantle is displaced outward producing the currently observed activity at the divergent plate boundaries. This is a variable heat source directly proportionate to the mantle's increase in circumference, which is currently measured at the worlds divergent plate boundaries as tectonic plate movement. I can show it's connection to long term historic …
