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.

    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?

  3. 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 …

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  8. 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…

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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

    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!

  21. Unless of course, you believe that principles present, and laid down in the very early cosmos, get reflected on and built on , and show up through the whole thing. Say like symmetry or opposites or balanced systems or whatever works in paired systems ? There is too much of [ + - ] [matter antimatter ] [ left handed righthanded ] [male female ] [ right brain left brain ] [ up down ] etc etc for it not to be fairly fundamental to the universe .I think to separate the microscopic from the macro too much , might be ' missing a trick' . However as you will see I went on to build models more reflective of actual atom structure.

  23. News out today of Slight Detail change to age of Universe ( 13.81 Billion years ) , confirmation of many ideas around the big bang, and inflation. But some new evidence for new ideas.

  24. I'd like some opinions about a paper titled the schwarzschild proton by Nassim Haramein. In short, he gets rid of the strong and weak forces and accounts for the missing mass using the classical mechanics of gravity at the atomic level making all protons "mini black holes." The math is accurate if the proton's mass is not renormalized as it is in quantium theory. This also eliminates the need for dark matter and dark energy as all mass through vacuum fluctuation is accounted for.

  25. I have thought of something that has become somewhat of a puzzle game for me. How I got to this thought is not that important, but involved some frustration with the fact that the square root of 2 is what it is. It was somewhat disconcerting that the answer is not 1, when the thought I was following needed an answer of 1. Then I saw a triangle that represented the Pythagorean Theorem. Then something that Michel 123456 wrote in a thread some time ago came to mind; “The diagonal is the distance”. I looked the thread up to see what he was talking about, and it does seem to me that his diagram applies to the thought I was having; well somewhat. Not quite... Maybe... …
