Speculations

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…

Does truth even exist past a certain point? In my guess, things and ideas that don't have any evidence in the universe to prove them don't have truth (They can't be "true"). Maybe all options are in "superposition"? No views yet. Now the views appeared.

This video shows a shark that walks with it's fins as well as any bony fish and better than some amphibians. I would like to speculate on the possibility that this is close to the way land vertebrates developed but would a animal like a shark be able to make the move to land since it lacks a bony skeleton. Also does this say anything about how many limbs a vertebrate can evolve or is the number of legs too closely connected basally to our genetics for there to be more than four?

What do you think? Here's what I think. I am interested in finding flaws in my argument, so don't be shy. Everyone has heard of the Drake equation, a quantification for the likelihood of the existence of extra-terrestrial civilizations. Most estimates for it parameters provide for a low to medium probability that humanity shall ever find a neighbor. However, the equation rests upon an assumption which is not justifiable. It claims that all civilizations have a life span after which they expire, and that none are immune. It does not allow for the possibility that a civilization could survive for an indefinite period of time, billions of years even to the…

Its obivious that time travel is something that fascinate scifi geeks and not really applicable with current laws of physics but if physics could be viewed from a different point of observation, then it won't be hard for anyone to understand that 'events', past, present and future can all be directly viewed by an advanced particle code breaking computer (apcbc).

The ability for large herds of megafauna to thrive during the Ice Age period is a long standing enigma. How could such huge numbers of large mammals have found enough food to keep them warm and healthy during the globally much cooler times of the Ice Age? I have a unique solution below. I do have a speculation for how the Earth's 100ky inclination cycle relative to Jupiter's orbital plane can increase ocean tidal strength, but I want to keep that out of the conversation at present. The inclination cycle is the up and down movement in the Earth's orbit. (i) The earth's 100ky inclination cycle is reponsible for an increase in ocean tidal strength. (ii) These ext…

I have an important question. I had a Mass Media class back in high school. And (I think it was this class, It may have been a different one), they were having mock trials. In these mock trials, they did something they called "cross-referencing". This seemed to mean that one of the people of the court staff or one of the parties checks each person's story for self-consistency and sense. In other words, they make sure a party's claims don't conflict with their other claims. I'm no longer sure this happened at all. But my question is this: Has "cross-referencing" ever been done to science?

The excellent results of MOND predictions with satellite dwarf galaxies around Andromeda show that the closer the dwarf galaxy is to the host galaxy, Andromeda, the greater the influence of the host: I would like to speculate that it is the closeness of the dwarf galaxy to the plane of rotation of the host which is also a critical factor. Perhaps the modification to Newton's gravity should be the consideration of an additional force of attraction on the plane of rotation of heavenly bodies. This tallies very nicely with another speculation I have that the Earth's 100ky glacial cycle is in sync with the Earth's inclination cycle, the up and down movement…

Maybe it's me, but over the past few years, I've noticed that psychologists promote meditation and spirituality as the keys to mental wellbeing. Meditation is not a Western practice. So why are they telling everybody to do this? Somebody told me that one sect/church in Russia meditate, so it's is common. lol.. And there are some Christian demoninations who believe Jesus died on a vertical stick and not a crucifix. So what? This evidently is a minority view, and not representative of general Christian practice. Regardless of the above, is there some agenda in the vocation to turn Western culture into Tibet? Moreover, isn't the definition of mental illne…

While this rare event of massive sized water tanks rupturing occurs rarely, it is oftened accompanied by some loss of life and large property loss. I have put together some chemical based theories on how some of the evidently pressure detonations could be occurring. Those more familar with these large water tanks may be able to supply more insights (like what metal is employed, ventilation/pressure release valves, is the water stored pre or post aeration and/or chlorination,.etc). If a coherent list of possible causes can be produced, I will forward to OSHA, which apparently review these incidents, for considerations. As to why I am presenting on this forum is a net searc…

Is this mathematical/image proof that electric force electric theory is wrong? Maybe not? This might belong in the other thread, but I decided to make a new one for it for now. How electric parallel circuits should work (I think). How they work in parallel in reality(I think).[ attachment=5714:battery and wire force 2.jpg] Gravity seems to have the same effect on water. Maybe the second image is 2 force and energy instead of 1 force and energy.

A photon cannot be emitted randomly. This means that the source cannot emit the photon until the destination has been determined. When you look out at night upon a star 300 light years away, this means that the source determined to release the photon to your eyeball 300 years before you were even born! This is Irrational Time, and in Irrational Time everything that ever was, is, or ever will be exists simultaneously. This is how a photon from a star 300 light years away can determine to find your eyeball in an instant 300 years before you were even born. The unifying co-ordinate in the universe is irrational time. It is the commonality of all existence and p…

But there is a flaw to this logic. It works for atomic clocks, agreed, but it doesn't work for simple pendulum grandfather clocks. When these clocks are at a greater altitude close to space with a much lower gravitational field, they swing slower, giving a slower tick than grandfather clocks on Earth's surface. It's the opposite effect to atomic clocks. Can anyone resolve this issue, or is it indeed a fatal flaw in Einstein's Relativity?

I mean this in the politest way possible. It is a fact of the world that, while people excel in their perspective areas, whether that be a science, a humanity, an understanding of street drug prices, fighting technique, fishing, tax avoidance - whatever, the underlying mechanism to allow for learning is critical thinking. Having said that, some people are more critical than others, from the sharpest man to the dullest bottom. Many people, no matter where their own PERSONAL level of intelligence stands on the 'national average', find people with inferior intelligence frustrating to talk to. Their lack of mental ability seems to arouse an innate irritation in most people. …

What evidence is there that the "stars" in the night sky (the sun could be a different matter, being close to us compared to the night sky "stars") are stars? Could they be giant flashlights? With noble gases? Or UFOs? or UFOs with giant flashlights with noble gases? Or something else? No views yet. Now the views appeared.

I don't know if this goes here. I noticed this just tonight. If Buddha, Mohammed, or Jesus existed nowadays, he'd be told to lay off the 'shrooms and get a real job. Is there a section for religious commentary?

If you look at a comparison of Replies numbers. Physics, Politics,Lounge, Speculations rank among the highest. If one puts Politics and lounge as the desire to relax, yarn and pontificate, then that leaves Physics and Speculation in the Big Numbers League. WHY ? Surely this demonstrates a) A desire to seek and know how our Universe Works. B) A keen desire by many to SPECULATE what that knowledge could possibly be. So why beat the living daylights out of each other for having a genuine Desire and offering only Possibles. ?

I once asked god to give/make for me a pile of gold/money on the top of the wooden dining table (It hasn't been used as one for years now.) by the next day. It didn't happen. It's been probably months since then. Still no pile of gold/money on the table.

The clear bias of stellar fusion results in the creation of highly electro-negative elements. This is results in an electrical asymmetry where a net effective positive charge is the result of this process. This results in stellar and galactic charge gradients which account for the fact that 99% of the visible universe is in a PLASMA STATE!!! This means that the electric force is the dominant force in the cosmos and that gravity is much less important. The relative density of stars though out accounts for the gradient.

Do magnifying glasses defy entropy by focusing sunlight? Using mirrors and lenses, you could supposedly focus all of the sun's light on an area a few hundred feet across or smaller, defying entropy. I suppose the target would boil, but maybe it would still work and may still defy entropy.

Instead of not being able to change the past in sci-fi time travel, my idea is that a change to the past would create overwrite waves, overwriting the universe/time events at the speed of time. In other words, it is like restarting a level after a game over/losing.
