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.

if photons, in super-conductors, acquire an effective mass (by "bouncing between pairs of electrons")… then can such photons start to spin sideways, in the (S=1, M=0) third polarization state, w/ the projection of their spin, onto their path of propagation, equalling zero ?

Since the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2011/press.html a parabolic function) wouldn't it follow that if we try to look back to the "Big Bang" we would see a false horizon? If you view a parabolic curve with limits of infinity at x=1 (y=x^2) there appears to be a right angle. Is the "Big Bang" actually at x=1? If so, the universe has no beginning and the "Big Bang" is an illusion. If we could travel back 13.7 billion years, we would still perceive a "Big Bang" that occured 13.7 billion years ago!

The WMAP teams 10 year investigation has proved that the standard model based on relativity is totally inadequate in explaining the balance of the universe as only 4.6% of the matter necessary to balance it is there. What you see is what you’ve got! To balance there has to be dark energy force [which I presume is magnetic repulsion] of 22.2 times our gravity{G} that is pushing the galaxies apart Why the WMAP team should further hypothesize that there is five times more dark matter than real baryonic matter is a complete mystery if the solar system is anything to go by. Anyway, to balance we need a force that attracts all matter inside each stars system together of 5{G}[…

A few testable questions based on a scientific procedural must, given an alternative scientifically viable speculation : Simulation for a dynamic crystal:If we take a very strong computer and simulate as many and as highly conductive and identical as possible perfect spheres each traveling at identical speeds in random directions in a large as possible cube with as high as possible conductive walls, will these balls then go to order in the centre forming a dynamic crystal? Accuracy being more critical than speed. A dynamic crystal being that each ball will remain in its virtual cube by hitting its neighbor exactly on the virtual wall of the cube. If so would it the…

The Big Bang theory has always seemed to be a scapegoat theory. There’s no other explanation for the birth of the Universe and, by default, is the best available given observational data. But to me it just doesn’t pass the common sense test….all that we can see resulted from the explosion of something very, very small. Hubble has now seen Galaxies that are billions of light years from earth. All told, there are hundreds of millions of galaxies which contain hundreds of millions of stars and untold number of planets, moons and asteroids. And all of this came from a minuscule explosion? If not a Big Bang, then how did the Universe form? Well, here’s my shot in the d…

Lately it seems to be popular to speculate that life may have originated on Mars through transfer of microbes through impact debris. Part of the mindset is that Mars cooled sooner than the Earth and may have been the source of life on Earth. http://www.space.com/22577-earth-life-from-mars-theory.html If this is true then this could explain the Cambrian "explosion", there are multicellular organisms tough enough to make the journey from Earth to Mars and by the time of the Ediacara life forms the Earth seems to have dominated by weird organisms with no modern counterparts. A meteor holding desiccated specimens of some tough creature or creatures, already the result of…

So I'm new here, I came because I have an interest in quantum physics. I want to ask a question about a theory because I admittedly have not been to college or anything, and don't know all of this stuff in depth, and want to know if it is potentially valid. Any criticism will be appreciated very much. Basically, my theory is as follows. If the four dimensions build on each other, logically the fifth dimension would be taking a step back from time. Based off Feynman's theory (I don't know if it is readily accepted) of multiple histories, the universe is adding up all the possible probabilities of the next time and moving on to the one that is most likely. Does that mea…

Quantum entanglement is studied with proposition for instant communication at any where. If we can consider inaformation transfer why do not consider energy transfer? Information transfer consider one single atom while energy will require a net of atoms in Quantum entanglement. If it works we can transfer instantaneously energy directly from sun to any where? And more if we can transfer energy why we cant think in tranfer a atom?

Is Newton's third law of motion wrong? Could the other ones be? Perhaps the original energy doesn't disappear when something impacts something else. Perhaps extra energy is gained and then dissipated as heat. This would be when the two objects that hit each other are different shapes or maybe different sizes or maybe when they are of different springiness/hardness. I thought this one up or realized it about a month or two ago, but forgot, so I am posting it now. Examples of scenarios: two magnets/electromagnets Foot hitting pavement or arm hitting a couch or bed frame makes the secondary object really warm, but walking or running for 30 entire minutes is…

If that really is Saturn or Venus in the western sky, I think it's 20 to 45 degrees off of the ecliptic. I mean, the sun sets more or less vertically. The only planet off of the ecliptic is supposed to be Pluto, but Pluto is not visible with the naked eye (I don't think it is).

Hi , Ive had a hypothesis for years about the start of the universe, nice and simple. Recently I found out about the cosmological redshift and speculation in the press about whether the antihydrogen produced at Cern ? had negative gravity [ too small a quantity to check, apparently] . Both those things come out in my hypothesis and this also becomes obvious that the Universe is a singularity . As Bohr stated , 'its crazy , but is it crazy enough to be true?' , has it ever been thought of and what was the conclusion?

Through quantum entanglement can transfer information instantly anywhere in the Universe. We can have atoms in quantum entanglement and maybe one day build structures of atoms in quantum entanglement. If we built two rings, using the easiest atoms to produce quantum entanglement like Iridium or Berilyum and if we put these rings in magnetic resonance like used in WIFI energy, can we think to transfer something more than energy? Like a atom?

For example use of camera in order to whatch real estate experiments via internet with sponsor banner, selling of partial research? What else? Can we produce knowledge this way? Currently we would not be doing this however in a more political way? In a more beautiful to way to show?

We've basically had the same tech for 20 years or longer, just smaller. And why don't they understand my claims? They make perfect sense to me. Especially electrons in electricity. A piece of plastic or a balloon can stick to or repel something easily for a minute or so, but a battery that can power a lightbulb for a day and a half doesn't attract or repel anything? How does this make sense?

Before anything else, forgive me for my limited use of and knowledge of English language.. "Dark Glove Theory" Multiverse Behaviour, Black Holes, Inflation , The Nothing by Simone Mancini, Ravenna , Italy My Theory is the following , its not essential to inject new mathematical codes like the Inflation inside the Standard Model of Cosmology in order to explain the accelleration boost of outer galaxies and matter in general, the conclusion I reached is that the 'Nothing' , this non visible nor quantifiable entity which composes Black Holes , in facts , It's the same entity which upholsters the universe. Exactly like Black holes do attract Matter to itself, following…

So in 1983 I began trying to compose an atomic model that did not require them... That has lead me to some very interesting places! Rather than restate all that I have found, let me propose my first model and confront the arguments against it. I think it will keep you quite entertained! As an example of my model of the helium atom, we can start at a point where there are 2 neutrons residing together in the nucleus. At two distant points we have 2 more neutrons: n nn n Gravity pulls the 2 distant neutrons to the nucleus where they collide with the 2 neutrons t…

Disclaimer: My exposure to general physics, Relativity (general or special), Astronomy and such, being that they aren't exactly within my chosen realm of science, is minimal. That being said, I know already that I don't have the mathematical equations to back up this train of thought I am about to present. But as always, I'm open to ideas/critique/etc about my post. I think it's safe to say that the Big Bang Theory and the Expanding Universe are currently the accepted models of the universe in it's current state. Both of these show the logic behind heavenly bodies having a red shift as they are in constant motion away from each other. This constant expanding would als…

Exactly as the title says. I mean, I asked 3 claims for the middle ages: 1. How can you date castles and city walls scientifically (some question carbon dating). 2. Same dating problem, but for manuscripts. 3. Do those manuscripts or era data have multiple sources? 4. Anatoly Fomenko can just put medieval cultures on top of each other. 5. Evidence of unique culture? 6. Do they have arrowheads, helmets, and swords from the era, dateable?

Time flow is increased by a factor of 5 when the speed of light is reached, so one might postulate that at approximately 21 times the speed of light time could start going backwards, well this is not what happens, instead time dilation remains in effect and even at speeds of up to 1000 times the speed of light186,000,000 million miles per second.I postulate time does not reverse direction unless one is inside a black hole white hole complex. The effects of such high velocitys are increased lifespan and in increased mental and physical capacity. The energy flowing between the two universes is maintaining the equilibrium of space time matrix , also it is the bridge betwe…

I think this is probably a silly question, but if Anatoly Fomenko can shift dates around by hundreds or even thousands of years, how much true written-multiple-source, or physical evidence is there of the middle ages? I mean, is it even possible to date castles or city walls? Maybe manuscripts?

Okay, no-one is going to like this speculation, I know, but it's a valid one imv. The title says it all. X-Ray Images Help Explain Limits To Insect Body Size Speculation on oxygen levels in the past is very varied, this paper Atmospheric oxygen level and the evolution of insect body size in Figure 1 even shows a potential peak in the middle of the Cretaceous. Evolution of dinosaurs on the Antarctic contintent are known to have been more primitive than their counterparts on the other continents due to the harsh and challenging environment. Could this combination of factors have given the giant insects a temporary advantage which then led to the evolution of super-ox…

Let me start by saying that inorder to understand this, clear your mind for now and don't rationalize by applying other theories of renowned physicists just yet. Let us first learn about the way our body and mind function. There are five senses in our body as we know. What we think we see with our eyes is actually the information taken in and processed by our brain but we feel as if our eye is an single whole complete matter through which we have access with the outer environment. Also the other forms of perceptions are first processed by our brain then we could feel them if not a touch would not matter and food could not be tasted and so on. We are all made up of billio…

Dear Friends, I came up with FTOE. [Link removed by moderator] Fundamental Theory Of Existence. 1. Zero cannot exist as denominator. 2. Anything cannot be created out of nothingness, only change of form is possible and change is everywhere. 3. Anything cannot be destroyed into nothingness, only change of form is possible and change is everywhere. 4. Existence of anything cannot be infinite. 5. There is no beginning and an end to the existence of the World. 6. There are finite absolute laws. 7. Velocity of light is relative. 8. There are three dimensions and three dimensions only. 9.Time Travel is impossible. 10.Ta…

MAJOR FIREBALL EVENT: Two nights ago, a ~100 lb meteoroid traveling 53,000 mph hit the atmosphere over the southeastern USA and exploded, producing sonic booms and a fireball as bright as a full Moon. Researchers are now scouring the countryside for fragments that could reveal the nature and origin of the meteoroid. A movie, more information, and updates are available on http://spaceweather.com. I postulate that this object was only moving at 1,000 miles per hour . This leads to the conclusion these meteors are almost at rest from an astronomical standpoint. These are resting between the galactic arms of our galaxy . I think Slow interstellar meteors would be a suf…
