Speculations

Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.

Speculations Forum Rules

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Can the first law of motion be related to Gravity? (.. if mass is just a space's contraction, and that contraction is less evident the farther, is comprehensible why, when we have two bodies, they try to get closer. think in some ball in a pool. in there the pressure varies depending how deep it is. Pressure on down side of the ball is higher than on the up side. then the ball goes up. Something similar happen with gravity. out side of "the couple of bodies" space is softer than center side, then bodies goes in becouse they are high density space …

  2. then why does Nikola Tesla claim he was wrong? And Tesla claims his experiments worked because he assumed an "ether". NikolaTeslaClub: http://www.nikolateslaclub.com/index.php...n-vs-tesla And the Michelson Morley experiment didn't detect air or neutrinos, either.

  5. "Simultaneous" seasons on earth rather they be winter or summer always have been regarded as having some type of significance rather this be by religion and or astronomical observation via the North Pole Star Polaris marking new eras ie " circles and cycles" on this planet for decades. Depending on what " region" ie location you live on earth, the observation is physically evident as either being winter or summer respectfully speaking. To add As per recorded history a year equaling a full orbital path of earth's motion around the sun coupled with the "Winter Solstice Alignments" significantly proves that earth as a whole "system" in itself all share a sing…

  6. Hi. I'm new here so this will be my first post. I'm Jamie from Alabama. I'm a proud Baptist and I'd like to point out a few inconsistencies I found in the theory of evolution. The first point I'd like to make is in relation to the age of the earth and how it ties in with "evolution". I'm a young earth creationist. I believe that God created the earth approximately 5,000-6,000 years ago, and there is a good reason for this belief. Atheist scientists will tell us that the earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old, but this is impossible. Please hear me out and let me explain before you scoff and abandon this thread. Atheist scientists believe that we evolved from…

  7. Is there any reason to think that magnetic fields we are currently able to generate are as strong as magnetic fields can be or is it possible to generate magnetic fields of any strength we desire given enough power? I ask this in relation to the nuclear light bulb reactor and possible confinement of a fission reaction by a magnetic field instead of a quartz glass bubble... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_lightbulb

    Before I start things I would like to say that I am not an expert in physics so I accept any criticisms. Every celestial object in our universe is floating in space, what if they are not floating because there’s nothing there. We don’t know exactly what is outside our universe, what if outside our universe is a matter, the very first element. Einstein theories that the big bang was from a single matter. What if that matter is no alone maybe there’s an infinite amount of that matter connected by the kinetic particle theory of solid or solid like and the big bang occur because these matter are unstable. Our universe is still expanding or maybe at the edge of the u…

Or can they make their own stuff (not just photosynthesis). Can a plant grow in a sealed container with no air and nutrients, just a little water to signal the plant to grow?

    It is said that vedic astrology is more accurate then western and chinese astrology. Moon sign (rashi) and luner birth star (nakshatra) is the most important in vedic astrology because it represents mind and basic human nature. I have tested to so many people that they agree to the characteristics of their nakshatra & rashi or not. Let's find out your 'Rashi' & 'Nakshatra' then compare it's character to yourself and tell me how much its accurate. Give me your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth then I will tell about your personality.

  13. By Wiki: "The Milky Way began as one or several small overdensities in the mass distribution in the Universe shortly after the Big Bang. Some of these overdensities were the seeds of globular clusters in which the oldest remaining stars in what is now the Milky Way formed. These stars and clusters now comprise the stellar halo of the Galaxy. Within a few billion years of the birth of the first stars, the mass of the Milky Way was large enough so that it was spinning relatively quickly. Due to conservation of angular momentum, this led the gaseous interstellar medium to collapse from a roughly spheroidal shape to a disk. Therefore, later generations of stars formed in this…

  14. When we speak about relativity we intend Lorens formula S = C / (C^2 - V^2) ^ 0.5. As a lay man i don't understand about velocity "V" of what is the issue? If it is about velocity of mass particles, then how this fact is reflected in the above formula? The special relativity was discovered in 1905. In general relativity there is another kind of velocity Vg = ( G*M / R) * 0.5. I think Special relativity is wrong because it does not take in consideration this fact. And naturally as everything in physic, go weird so in the Lorens formula go weird when divide by zero..

    Paradox:- One man is in the train moving from one station to another. He has hanged ball with mass m from his hand with threads which is just sufficient to resist m.g force i.e. gravitational attraction on ball. This train’s cabin has big window. One Cockroach is sitting on that ball from lower side. One Padre is waiting at next station & observing this approaching train with binocular & also see through big window of train. He is observing the man having ball in his hand from that window. Then what will happen by relativity. 1) For man in train’s cabin:-Nothing is happen. As ball are stable with relative to observer. Mass of ball will remain m & weight will…

  16. Proceeding from Hawking’s idea that the Big Bang evolved as a “-- a quantum fluctuation with literally no pre-existing state”. Entropy is the key to everything. By entropy, I mean the appearance of the second law of thermodynamics which established to arrow of time. Both had to evolve at the null point when there was nothing --- only the quantum fluctuation in an absolute pre-space time void. The key to the creation of the universe was the evolution of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (i.e. entropy) as a result of that quantum fluctuation. In short, perhaps the introduction of the arrow of time (i.E. ENTROPY) from a quantum fluctuat…

  17. The "good bit" of quantum mechanics (qm) is the predictions, right to 11 decimal places at times. Unfortunately the "good bit" comes with quantum weirdness – claims of multiple universes, effects backwards in time, and more. How do we keep the "good bit" with no weirdness? A new theory. A particle goes from a source (A) to a detector (B). In qm, a wave function goes with the particle. Let's remind ourselves of reciprocity: a radio antenna is equally good as a transmitter and receiver of radio waves. The waves travel equally well going in or out. Apply this to the particle. We cannot see the wave function so how does qm know the direction of the wave? Th…

  18. At the website below, I show that the Feynman Path Integral can be derived from logical considerations alone. From a conjunction, I derive a logical version of the path integral. The conjunction is expressed in terms of material implication. And implication is mapped to the Dirac measure that returns 1 if an element is included in a set and zero otherwise. This is used to map conjunction to multiplication and disjunction to addition. And when the gaussian form of the Diric delta function is used to implement implication, the exponentials add to form the Feynman path integral of quantum mechanics. It is seen then that the wavefunction is a mathematical expression of im…

    This is from another (closed) topic, dear Moderators will judge if it goes against the rules or not. Michel posted ACG52 answered Which is absolutely correct. But if you look closely to the analogy of the observers in free fall and compare to the Universe, you obtain the following. _In the analogy, the "receding" is caused by 3 phenomas a. the same and constant acceleration of the 3 jumpers b. the same direction and same path (or parallel path) c. the delay of 1 sec at the starting point between the jumpers. _in the Universe c. the delay is caused by the speed of light, not by a delay at the starting point. So in the universe there is no …

    New Theory explains accelerating contraction of the galaxy and universe instead of expansion. Snell's Theory shows why redshift (mis) led Einstein to change his static General Relativity universe from static to expanding; and explains both static and expansion is wrong, its actually contracting. The Theory eliminate the 'necessity' of dark matter or dark energy. The theory states that by 'varying acceleration in spiral pattern' objects appear to be moving away (redshif-expansing) when all are accelerating into contracted space such as black holes and onto cluster and super cluster etc. The 'varying acceleration' of each object is varying because of the varied proximit…
