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.

Lately I've tried consuming more soaked white rice to see what it would do and my sex drive skyrocketed. Is it a good hypothesis to state that rice consumption on a daily basis eventually leads to overpopulation? http://irri.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=12109〈=en

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?

A controversial hypothesis: “ Unique sub particles” I think that “Unique sub particles” are the only elements in the structure of each common elementary particle. (At least, so I convinced myself; maybe I will be able to convince the reader ). Unique sub particle has mass and radius: M = e / ( 4 * pi * epsilon0 * G ) ^ 0.5 = 1.859389987*10^--9 Kg. = = M(Plank) * alpha ^ 0.5 R = e / ( 4 * pi * epsilon0 / G ) ^ 0.5 = 1.380543853*10^--36 m. = = L(Plank) * alpha^ 0.5 So the unique sub particles are like Siamese twins. Their common back bone is mass of mater M, in a sphere with radius R. In fact one of twins is electric CHARGE, the second is square root of con…

I will argue that there is evidence consciousness can exist outside of the body. For example the thousands of NDE's and OBE's experienced yearly. The Navy conducted a centrifuge g-force study and as a side affect confirmed consciousness could be "popped" out of the body repeatedly and predictably. DMT which is ubiquitous through out nature has been scientifically proven to be produced in the pineal glands of rats "the 3rd eye." DMT has also been shown to produce nearly identical out-of-body out-of-this-dimension episodes in humans with a side affect profile safer than any drug or substance I have ever came across, it has also been known to convert many proud atheist. Man…

NOTE, this is not speculation, I ONLY want to know about the science [the philo. is contextual]. My friend has a philosophical argument which involves: (a) All people can see X but X does not emit (reflect) light that can be analysed as coming from a known substance. (b) Also, X can “think and perform actions”. Uuo is extremely unstable and is therefore, a very short lived element. My question is: If we keep discovering particles with greater mass numbers than Uuo will the trend necessarily be decreasing stability? If so can you give a brief description of why. I’m arguing that; if X is emitting light and that a spectrographi…

Alpha-Omega a universe in freefall. There are blackholes through out our local universe at the centre of galaxies, galaxies merge as do blackholes becoming ever larger, if we was to step outside our universe you would see we are surrounded by countless universes and universe size blackholes all pulling on each other, being pulled (falling) to Omega a "blackhole" which as feasted on many universes until it becomes to "heavy" for its current dimension and drops into a lower dimension and "pops" this is Alpha "whitehole" which spews all it as fed on, matter-energies-space-time which then rapidly expand in this lower dimension forming many universe in there own space-time bub…

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.
