Speculations

Wondering why, given an origin, one could not define another position based on two parameters, distance and direction. Distance is understandable as a singular thing, in itself, with any particular unit or number or scale assignable to it. If one was to dense pack spheres around an origin sphere there would be twelve directions possible, with each of these twelve an origin of its own, with twelve surrounding "directions". Given a particular task, a sphere size could conceptually dense pack all of space and any of the spheres could be located by counting out to a particular sphere in one of the twelve directions, calling that sphere your origin and counting the s…

Note: I'm not a native English speaker so my grammar isn't perfect. It has been speculated that some black holes could work as wormholes. So wormholes are basically reverse black holes? It's a black hole on the other end and a wormhole (a reverse black hole) on the other. Black hole sucks matter in and wormhole pushes matter out. [Michio Kaku Explains String Theory: ] 1:08 so when 2 universes become in contact with each other.. happens a big bang.. when a wormhole is created between universes.. the universes become in contact with each other too. Perhaps the big bang was caused by the birth of a wormhole. Our universe is expanding because of the big bang and because…

Why can't gravity be an electromagnetic force or maybe something to do with the chemical interaction between atoms and molecules? http://www.bigbangneverhappened.org/

I was considering posting some of the arguments in the biology forum, but I think the discussion would become speculative rapidly. This topic concerns how we (society) determine whether or not an individual is responsible for an action, and for the sake of this topic the definition of responsibility is "being accountable for something within one's own power, control or management" (dictionary.com). I argue that the way in which we determine/quantify "one's own power/control" is inaccurate, and that most probably hold a mistaken view of responsibility (by thinking of it as simple discrete categories, e.g. not responsible, responsible). Before I argue this I need to…

I will start my theory here and hope to be moved to a real thread instead of starting in a physics or cosmology one and being moved here. I do not think I will be adding new physics or math with my theory, or speculation if you will, and believe that what I propose will still fit the current understanding of physics. I do not have a formal education in this area nor the ability to understand the math beyond a highschool level of physics or algebra and have had no training in geometry. If I violate a rule or formula I ask you try and explain with words or at least simple math. If more complicated math must be used I will rely on others to concur or refute. If you feel I ha…

I was reading up on this a while ago and now I cant remember the name... it's driving me nuts. It's this theory about a consciousness in space that does not have mass or matter (no I'm not talking about god, it doesn't have the power to create or destroy it pretty much imagines its whole ''reality''). It's called something brain or something mind... can't remember. any help would be much appreciated.

I believe I have found a link between the Sun and Earth’s magnetic field strength and climate history. I know what you’re thinking; crackpot. We’ll let me show you what I have and then we can judge it fairly.This hypothesis is related to my plate tectonic thread. If you have not read “Plate Tectonic Mechanism?“ you should familiarize yourself with posts # 4-8 before posting here to save time. It will introduce you to the concept and give weight to the possibilities of climate forcing from strain energy released from the mantle. I will briefly describe its basic outline to initiate this thread’s beginning. This NASA article is a good place to start.…

Elon Musk described his mass transit idea as “cross between a Concorde, a railgun and an air hockey table.” That seems to me to be a jet powered vehicle, smaller than a train, that rides on a cushion of air. Perhaps it is something like a hovercraft that rides on an asphalt roadbed that is closed to weather. The jet engines would give it high speed about 1000mph (1600kmh), but the vehicle would need to be protected from the environment and things around it protected from the vehicle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hovercraft-MVPP10.jpg http://au.businessinsider.com/what-is-elon-musks-hyperloop-2013-5

I'm interested in this. I want to fly. I want a flying car. Michio Kaku demonstrated that if you use a piece of ceramic and submerge it in liquid nitrogen(?), you can make a magnet levitate and travel seemingly without friction. I believe that EM waves are probably the most efficient waves to surf with respect to friction that we know of. Who knows, maybe we can find an alternative, but in the meantime this is my hypothesis. Freezing gas is not an option, it's much too expensive to maintain. What I notice is that the liquid nitrogen boils when it is poured into the container. The ceramic is pretty solid. I'm going to have to assume that there is a repulsive force …

i live on the conspiracy sights as yall ptobably figured out and heres what i bring for your viewing pleasure. supposedly the grand canyon was caused by a super giant lightning bolt.i laughed then thought.what if an ionized cloud got between earth and another planet or earth and the sun.would the difference between charge to mass ratios of planets cause an arc of plasma between them .would this change the orbits or extincion event from dust cloud.is any of this possible?

This comes up every so often here in the Speculations forum: the question being can a relative unknown make a meaningful contribution. I saw this today: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/05/twin-primes/ a relative unknown makes a significant step forward towards proving the twin primes conjecture in mathematics. Now, that said, note one of the comments by one of the reviewers of the paper: He nailed down every detail so no one will doubt him. Theres no waffling. This cannot be emphasized enough in this section. Nail down every detail. So, so, so very often speculators come in an leave details very 'unnailed'. And when this is pointed out, they usually …

http://estfuture.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-travel-theory-in-english.html Got the idea somewhat again at nigh time when i couldnt sleep, so i wrote it down - there are lots of similar ones but does any of them actually see it that way?

think of xrays.they are expelled from a black hole.why would something with mass be expelled from the ultimate gravity?because gravity is nulled above about 35000 volts.charge a craft at this voltage or above and you are no longer relative to the things outside the craft.the bubble is around your craft.so then you can go any speed you want up to the speed of light.thats why you dont want to walk up and touch a flying saucer.the radiation is horrible.now if the shell of the craft is aluminum then because of half life in a few minutes it should be safe.

What if Dark Matter is not measurable? What if Dark matter or Dark Energy is in fact something more akin to an emotion? The amount of Dark energy may not be able to be measured like the ability to create joy, ecstasy, happiness cannot be measured. Could Dark energy be a force that comes and goes without any parameters? I mean joy is real, happiness is real but you cannot feel it, taste it, measure it or touch it and one minute it is not there and the next overcomes you or even many people at once. Also the persons ability to create this feeling cannot be measured or compared to anothers. In a library where there were 100 people sitting quietly a page being turned goes …

By dimensional analysis, the (total) energy, in the magnetic field, generated by a mass of plasma, of characteristic size-scale L, carrying a characteristic current I, is [math]B \approx \frac{\mu_0 I}{L}[/math] [math]E \approx \frac{B^2}{\mu_0} L^3 \approx \mu_0 I^2 L[/math] Now, when two opposing magnetic fields are juxtaposed, the opposing parts vanish (e.g. x-direction), and the parallel parts remain (e.g. y-direction). So, the total field energy, after reconnection, is reduced by about half [math]\left( <B>^2 + <B>^2 \; \rightarrow \; <B>^2 \right)[/math]. So, in order-of-magnitude approximation, [math]B \approx \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0 E}{L^3}}[/mat…

So I was thinking of another possible approach- which the “cost-benefit analysis” can offer to the unification of QM and GR. This will be applied to the phenomena and the model framework of predicting this phenomenon by QM and GM when reconciled with reference to the phenomena. C B A tool is quite popular in social sciences (say economics) for identifying the most appropriate choice from two or more competing alternatives(say A and B)from which we have to derive one desired alternative(say C). and its relevance extends to other sciences where two or more true alternative ideas are found to be in conflict with one another on the same phenomena to which they “can” all clai…

I was reading about eugenics and was shocked how much support it apparently had and how widely accepted it was in early 20th century. There wasn't at all an outrage, apparently, about it. There's this quote from wikipedia: In 1981 a sterilization was performed in US!!! So apparently eugenics started becoming taboo after the Nazis, and it just got me thinking, what do you think would have happened had the Nazis never happened? Again, today, we are revolted by the notion of eugenics, but, apparently, then, it didn't raise an eyebrow, so what would have changed it had it not been for the Nazis. What if eugenics were to have proceeded exclusively in a "civi…

This is what has happened to the fantasy world that ive been designing for a game im creating (for D&D).

A New Theory For How Solar Systems Evolve 1. An Introduction to the Theory 2. The Organic Hypothesis 3. Comparing our Solar System 4. Six Steps Toward Verification 5. One Notable Difficulty 6. Concluding Observations An Introduction to the Theory 1.0 In this article we will present an alternative to the standard theory that is presently used to explain how our solar system came to be. 1.1 The standard theory can be best described perhaps as the Enhanced Nebular Hypothesis (ENH) – enhanced because it has been substantially refined since its original formulations in the eighteenth century. To summarize it briefly – the ENH speculates th…

Spin, what a great loop to be in! I believe our conception of what occurs at the quantum level can not be separated from that of the origin of our universe, the initiator of spin. I would rhetorically ask, is there any real particle or photon void of angular momentum? For the eureka conjecture, it is our misconception in defining fundamental reality that disables our ability to clearly see why "all" spins, even that which we can not perceive. This involves reference and specifically where we try to "isolate" rather than "acknowledge" the expanse of reality itself. Creation does not separate from itself and so what began at some time long ago still effects us all presently…

I do believe that it can be stated that the banks of time in space remain open for collection. It is only by our ignorance that methods have not been developed to take advantage of infinite voltage. We have yet to understand absolute fundamental reality and agreement has always been the challenge of unity. Everyone wants to be a star. In a world of schisms and cynicisms, it would appear a miracle to achieve our rise to the batteriless electric age, preferred over that of the fluid fire age that we find ourselves quagmired in. The greatest endeavors known in human history have always started with skeptics shouting impossible. If we are genuinely to achieve the greatness th…

I am having a bit of a problem at the moment , you's all quoting PREDICTION as the 'B' all and 'END' all, of the scientific test. This when I am trying to propose, in other threads, the invariable presence of GAPS, composed of ,PROBABILITY occurring over and over in the nature of things , and we ought to be looking at a different approach to arriving at solutions in these instants ( the genetic algorithm route for example) or the cosmos being a gigantic mold that everything is working its way into, rather than by strict predictable mathematical paths. We do seem to be getting a bit full with " uncertainty" " forbidden bands" " Exclusion Principle" " Schronigers Cat " "…

Good Question! I will have to look a bit and get back to you on that. There is a lot of theoretical concepts that would seem to solve many big picture issues...but the math has not been presented to provide a proof or solve. Split Infinity

The twin paradox again. The paradox is not that the twins have a different age at the end, the paradox is that both twins should observe the other aging less because motion is relative. In all examples the one who moves observes the one at rest aging more than him (instead of less) and that does not solve the paradox, that IS the paradox. WE decided right from the beginning which one moves and which one is at rest and that is contrary to the relativity of motion. -------------------------------------- As a side-remark, in this last diagram from your link, Pam traveled 7,5LY away in 4 years!
