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 attached some figures and some simple mathematics that illustrate the intended mechanics. The diagnosis was that the mechanics are terminal, meaning DOA. But like all terminal diagnosis, I am seeking a second opinion. I feel that I understand Newton's Laws of motion, and nothing that I am proposing seem to violate them. The scenario: This is an ideal system with only gravity as an opposing force. There is a mechanism inside a box. The mechanism inside the box provides a horizontal Force onto an object. The object responds to the force by accelerating in the vertically up position. The object encounters the top of the box. Momentum is exchanged between …

I really do not know how to discuss my proposal without going into any specifics but I will try. There is nothing magical about my proposal. The mechanics are simple. You can think of it like this using the Navy's Railgun as a reference: The electromagnets accelerate a magnetically reactive projectile, the projectile encounters an opposing force. As the force of the projectile equalizes with the opposing force, the engine and the craft that the engine is attached to will accelerate. The force of the projectile at some point will be less than the force of the opposing force, which will allow the projectile to be placed in the initial position where the electromagne…

Did you just neg me on that comment? lol What is wrong with the comment? Do you have any idea what strong gravity is? I never commented that gravity was measurable, I said it might get stronger at smaller levels. The whole point of making this statement is because BigNose for some reason thinks gravity should be small on the scale of atoms and large on the scale of planets. Strong gravity is a field of gravity physics which attributes a cosmological and particle scale gravity. If gravity gets stronger at smaller levels, what makes you think we would observe it? I'll tell you now, that scientists are investigating this and that experiments are soon going to go on …

EVOLUTION IS A BLINKING MYTH! Let me dish out, like a master about to bang his opponent at blackjack, and then, his wife, the three cards that darwin lay bare on the furls o' the earth so long before me. 1. we came from monkeys 2. the monkeys came from flora and fauna 3. god doesnt exist. *throws lightning bolts in the air and in a pretty fireworks display of sparks, those three IGNORANCIATUSES above me rearrange themselves to form ORDER. im on the verge of muttering 'and there was light' to myself, all pompous like. HERES THE PROOF that THROWS darwins theory into jail, for life! 1. we came from monkeys? no we didnt. to endorse such a sca…

"Numerology" what is the big deal??? I hear many scientist have issues with this, so then " why use numbers at all'? To do so would that make you a hypocrite? From algebra, trigonometry and many other styles of math including Chinese, don't these stem from ancient times and cultures whom included more " spirit " in their science than expensive test that have caused more damage to the earth than positive results?? Surly scientist cannot believe that their is no "true" secrecy in numbers, otherwise why would they have been used for sooooooooo long until now??? Oh see, no real evidence for their use right? So why then link them to units and fundame…

Evolution says that humans came from an ape, baboon, chimpanzee, gorilla, or monkey (not quite sure what the difference is). So why, then, do all ancient cultures say that humans (and some of our earliest technology) were made by gods? None of them say we came from animals, as far as I know. What's going on, here?

The title really needs no punctuation. It is a pun on countless levels and the colon exists partly to represent a set of eyes and primarily as a tribute to Samuel Mercer whose intellectual honesty in translating the PT made it possible to crack it using a computer. Mercer splashed punctuation everywhere. How the great pyramids came to be spills out of the "only" written source that exists from ancient Egypt; the Pyramid Texts. But it is also evidenced throughout the physical record. The ancients didn't really communicate in puns but it looks like it to us because of the nature of their language. It looks like puns because their language was a natural language like …

When you have a object rolling across a surface, then it is not friction slowing it down, It is air resistance. Here is why. When you have an object rolling across a surface, then the force of friction is μN, where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient and N is the normal force. In this case, it is on earth, so then N=mg and so F=mgμ. When you put a force on an object greater then that force, then friction does not stop it because friction does not depend on the object's velocity. What really stops it should be the air because air resistance is proportional to v^2, so as it accelerates, air resistance gets bigger and bigger, slowing it's acceleration more and more until …

In 2011 on the link: : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26262175/SagitariusBRprogramDescription.pdf was presented a friendly computer program which explicitly showed that the observed the uniform orbital speed of stars in spiral galaxies, may result from the natural distribution of mass of the stars and gas halo in these galaxies. This contradicted the current claim of the existence of dark matter (non-baryonic) in these galaxies, as the dominant component of their gravitational mass, and the perpetrator of that uniform speed of stars. It turned out that the calculations of that program have been fully confirmed in 2012 by recent discoveries of astronomers (brief remin…

Life is the reason for being; the living carry the burden of life. The burden of life outweighs the burden of proof – a man need not prove he exists to exist, for that he needs only life. While we are alive we can answer many questions, but we cannot answer the question “what is life?” The question “what is life?” is too complex. There are many reasons for this; one reason is that we cannot travel to the far ends of the universe to retrieve the knowledge we require to build the correct answer, and another is that we cannot access another being to experience life from its perspective; humans cannot create the correct answer. There are many more reasons why. Life’s co…

I wanted to start a new thread, ancillary to the last one I started here on what amateurs actually have to do to make meaningful contributions (see http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/75040-on-unknowns-making-meaningful-contributions/#entry744966 ), about another very common annoyance I see in the speculations section, which is so very, very often the speculators refuse to admit they make mistakes. Back in 2006, solar scientists announced that the next sunspot cycle was going to be unprecedented. See http://www.ucar.edu/news/releases/2006/sunspot.shtml There are some good quotes in here: and In 2009, this prediction was scaled back some (see http://s…

I invented this new term today and provided a definition. Here it is. Unarbitrated Time- (1)The instantaneous access between identical units and the prompting (or contextualization) of proximal units. (2)The physical flow of realizable objects without appealing to a numerical measurement between moments. This term is being used in the technical sense, specifically, at the moment, for computational linguistics.

The reason this is called a semi unified force theory is because it eliminates the nuclear and gravitational forces then splits the electro-magnetic force into two forces, electric and magnetic. The universe is made up of two things, matter which produces the electric force and energy which causes the magnetic force. Matter gives an object substance while energy gives it structure. The natural state of matter is the neutron. The neutron is not a neutral particle but a subatomic molecule with both a negative and positive charge. The support for this hypothesis is that both the creation of the neutron and its decay into a proton, electron, and gamma ray are exotherm…

Dynamic Absolute Space : explanation of the null result of Michelson- Morley experiment Henok Tadesse e-mail: email and telephone removed by moderator The beloved idea of relativity (Galilean invariance and Einstein's two postulates) with the null result of Michelson-Morley experiment at first seem to bring an end to the problem of absolute motion once and for all. It is when one considers Sagnac's and Michelson-Gale experiments equally supporting the validity of absolute motion that one realizes relativity is not the whole story. For anyone who is unbiased and who seeks the truth, it is impossible to settle in one view (either relativity or absolu…

Is there such a thing as a past, present and future? If there is Einstein was wrong. And if there isn't, there is also an implication of the past and future in such they become complimentary. Albert, Aharonov, and D'Amato (ADD) came together (around 25 years ago) to write a paper in which science seems to have generally forgotten about. You can violate the uncertainty principle! So how do you violate a cornerstone princple of QM? Remember, in short it means that we cannot know everything about the future, because physical states in the present are represented by complimentary observables, If anyone is interested in the mathematics of observables, obser…

! Moderator Note The paper linked in this OP, 'http://physicsworld....rons-in-a-twist http://phys.org/news182957628.html external ref. The origin of the Planck scale may be attributed to as [math]\frac{c^4}{G}[/math] It is the classical or upper limit of both the gravitational and electromagnetic force, it is the grand unified force of black hole physics. [math]F_P = \frac{c^4}{G} = 1.21027 \times 10^{44} N[/math] http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Strong_gravitational_constant I also noticed, that if one wants full analogies of equations in Gaussian units, it changes the definition of the classical gravielectric fields.

Fermions (s = 1/2) have a total magnitude, of angular momentum, directed through the three standard spatial dimensions (xyx) of [math]S^2 = \hbar^2 s\left(s+1\right)[/math] [math] S = \hbar \sqrt{s\left(s+1\right)} = \hbar \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/math] Such suggests, that spin-half Fermions have another half-unit of spin, directed through a fourth, "hyper" spatial dimension (w), of the "thickness" of the fabric of space-time. I.e. Fermions are actually four-spatial-dimensional quantum wave-functions, having a total actual magnitude of angular momentum, equal to one unit of [math]\hbar[/math]: [math]S^2 = \hbar^2 = S_w^2 + S_{xyz}^2 = \hbar^2 \times \left( \l…

Regarding great circle planes( GrCP's )--- i.e. axi of great tubes imho ---I've arrived at two possible scenarios that add to the desired 206 mass differrence between the electron and the muon electron. (8 * 25 ) + 6 = 206 I like/prefer this option above, because, it allows for only using the GrCP's of 3-fold and 4-fold polyhedral systems and not the 5/phi-fold. 450.11A 25 GRCs ergo, this means that were using the VE/cubo-OCTAHEDRON,and that we're in the neighbor hood of my considerations of an electron particles association with the OCTAHEDRON and specifically the its 3-GrCPS, that are found in the contracted VE/jittebug cubo-octahedron ergo double-valenced as 6 GrC…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_hypercharge the Weak-hyper-charge, of right-handed Fermions, is one-charge-unit larger (in magnitude), than their regular left-handed cousins... looking at the table provided on the page, the only way of conserving hyper-charge, as well as charge & spin, in transitions, from L <----> R... is to emit a spin-less pion = L-quark + R-antiquark (or vice versa)... only L/R quark/antiquark pairs, have no spin, and no charge, but a unit of hyper-charge, to carry away the unit of hyper-charge "lost", when (say) some R-electrons ----> L-electron so, can electrons expel pions, in transitioning from R ----> L hande…

Has anyone ever considered what the universe would look like to an observer that was not trapped in space/time? Try this: Picture two balloons at some distance apart inflating at an accelerating rate, one observer is receding at the same accelerating rate the other is stationary. What can we say about their observations?

Approximately stated, photons carry no EM charge... so, photons cannot become sources, for the creation, of new photons Thus, photons are emitted by EM'ly charged particles... and then stream away thru space, essentially in fixed, constant, unchanging number... and, thereby, (virtual) photons flight-paths trace out the "field lines" of EM fields... so accounting for [math]F \propto \frac{number \; field \; lines}{area} \propto \frac{number \; virtual \; photons}{area} \propto \frac{constant}{4 \pi r^2} = \frac{q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}[/math] But, gluons carry "color" charge... and thus gluons can create new gluons... so, as gluons propagate away f…
