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.

Hello world...I'm a mechanical engineer (oh no!) and appreciate some feedback. I have updated my theory of everything which explains the following: The nature of spacetime Quantum gravity and unification with electromagnetic force The reason for antimatter scarcity A physical description for the Wave Function and therefore a solution to the measurement problem A definition of mass and force An explanation of dark Matter A more precise Lorentz dilation equation The reason for the electron’s anomalous magnetic moment A physical description of the Fine Structure Constant Many others My first papers abstract: Current quantum theory is based on…

Or do black holes radiate Hawking radiation and, in the process, evaporate entirely yielding the information paradox. Because both are written down and claimed as fact and the only real paradox is that both can't be true yet both are or were claimed as fact.

Logic would supposedly take us to a consistent theory that can avoid contradictions altogether. However, in light that logic has been used as a mode of thinking for thousands of years, but scientists are still searching for a Grand Unified Theory, it is a responsible conclusion that logic inference consistently ends up with contradiction with no exception so far. Since, on the one hand, logic aims to avoid contradiction, and on the other hand, reality says that logic, on the contrary, always leads to contradiction, logic does not make sense and therefore is illogical. Science makes a name for itself by demonstrating its powerful capability of explaining various ph…

Lots of silly crap is asserted on various platforms online but one of the weirdest is the idea that there is currently a war being fought across time. Of course various bits of "evidence" is asserted but... Let us for a moment participate in a thought experiment. Let's say we want to know if a time war is being fought, how would/could we know? If a time traveler went back in time and changed something, no matter his motivation, could we know? Or, in my estimation most likely, would the time changes be completely undetectable by us, the equivalent of non combatants? If someone went back in time and changed history, imho, we would never know, no matter how viole…

Here I am back again hoping for constructive feedback. I took criticism from the last post to heart, so this article is a little heavier on the math side. Enjoy! The article assumes photons are responsible for gravity in lighter objects like the sun (while in heavier objects, gravity waves or other mechanisms take over that role). The idea is losely based on an unsuccessful unified field theory which tried to combine electromagnetism with gravitation, but was too complicated (5 dimensional fields and such). It instead is based on the assumption (inspired by Maxwell) that all fields are (caused by) waves (or particles) moving around and that photons don't …

Humanity has been puzzled by gravity for millennia. It is the strangest and the most significant of all the known forces in the universe. Gravity is still a mystery and the exact mechanism and nature are still unknown. I will be examining the mysteries of gravity, antimatter, black hole, and gravitational lensing today by reflecting on Nikola Tesla's quote, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration". Space, Energy, and Matter Everything in the cosmos is composed of no more than energy. Energy is just a term to describe a capacity to do things and is commonly measured as frequency. On the other h…

Since this is the Speculations forum, I thought I might broach something speculative and quite unsubstantiated. One thing I noticed, and probably everyone else, that Earth appears to be the only place in the currently known universe to harbour life. If we were to put this in to an index, Earth = 8 billion + plant life + animal life. Quite a high number. But for stars index = 0.0. Plus all other discovered planets index = 0.0 We are like a massive black hole with everything else relatively insignificant in terms of a life index. Of course we wouldn't survive without the sun.... On another note, our quest is to discover life somewhere else in the…

Spacetime is 2+2 dimensional corresponding to the two approximate inverse square laws. A four velocity is a coordinate transformation to 2D. In Special Relativity the y and z coordinates are not contracted. That is the electric charge doesn’t contract Spacetime. Gravity doesn’t affect electric charge. Gravity moves electron mass, electron mass moves electron charge. Charge isn’t mass or energy. The mathematics of (t,x) & (y,z) is 2D planes and 2D spheres. This corresponds to Kepler’s ellipses (planes) and Coulomb’s outer surfaces (spheres). General Relativity is also split into 2+2 dimensions. The Schwarzchild Metric doesn’t contract the t…

Aside from evolution, but related to Time, does anyone have an opinion on where our world is heading? My guess is that we are heading towards an "Old World" unless we find something fantastic in the universe first.....

The ebb and flow is the result of the rotation of the Earth and the gyres. Tides are not formed along the entire coast of the seas and oceans, but only on those coasts where there is a high speed of currents. And the higher the speed of currents along the coast, the higher the amplitude of the tidal wave. On those coasts where the speed of currents is 0 km / h, the amplitude of the tides is also 0 meters. The waters of the lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming cyclonic gyres. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre And everything that rotates, including th…

My name is Everett, and I have a hypothesis I’d like to share with you. By you, I mean everyone who I can possibly reach. I intend to send this message out to a wide array of different forums and individuals. My hypothesis consists of a new idea regarding the relationship between space-time and matter. It first occurred to me several years ago, when I was watching a video documentary about black holes. I was considering the popular mystery of what happens to matter when it is drawn into the incredible gravitational conditions of a singularity. I was approaching this question in a very casual and simplistic way, so I thought of it like this: Gravity tends to crush things t…

because opposite poles attract. That (interpretation) has been the (obvious) definition for centuries, i.e. based on the Earth('s poles' names), standard. So my compass_needle's blue_part which points North, must be a south_pole magnet.

For those that do not know about the Alcubierre warp drive I have a Wikipedia link below to show you. Wikipedia page for the warp drive Now that we have that out of the way, we can move on to my variation. For the short story, it uses relativity of position to make an illusion of anti-gravity even though it is actually just gravity. Now for the long story. This warp drive is on a railroad, so it used massive spinning rings to warp spacetime around the drive and oppose the force at the front pushing it with gravity. So, I will show you a picture of the normal warp drive and how it works, and you can imagine this idea. So, as you can see, the front of t…

I put this in speculations because it is a developing theory. I call this theory the Vacuum energy-fluid theory. This is because what the theory states is that the vacuum energy is a fluid and does not have the same amount of energy everywhere, or energy density. For those who do not know what the vacuum energy is, I have a link below. Wikipedia page for vacuum energy Now that we have that over, we can get onto the theories. The mathematical equations state this: v = \frac{h}{m\cdot x} E = \frac{c^2h}{vx} (I do not know if LaTex works on this website, so if it does not show up, I will put a link for a latex editor that you can copy and paste instea…

The mechanism of formation of rogue waves. Geofak Moscow State University. https://m.facebook.com/groups/328946357209747 A huge number of tidal waves move in the seas and oceans. When tidal waves collide with the coastline of the continents, tides are formed. When two tidal waves collide in the open ocean, a killer wave forms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave The magnitude of the killer waves can be calculated using the following formula: H = T1 • T2. Where T is the kinetic energy of the tidal wave. Experiment to the topic: The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle - killer waves https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1TIY6ZoV-Jk&feature=youtu.be As we see, kill…

This is a very incomplete theory on how interaction between different universes might be achieved, if other universes even exist. I would like to discuss this with other scientists and possibly refine my theory. (Note: I'm just a high-school student and I'm new to this site, please give me constructive criticism/advice, thank you). On Trans-Universal Interaction.pdf

I have created five fundamental laws of energy that I apply to each of my theories. Law #1: All energy reacts perceptually. Explanation: All types of energy react based on various values such as pressure, heat, velocity, etc., whether in chemistry, physics, or psychology; all energy will react perceptually. Law #2: Every interaction generates instability resulting in a reaction. Explanation: Any interaction with energy will create instability leading to a reaction aiming to achieve a new stability. Law #3: All energy is in perpetual interaction. Explanation: Everything from the atomic scale to the cosmic scale is in constant interaction with its surroundings. L…

Stationary model of the solar system. Community of Russian scientists. https://vk.com/rosuch 1. The solar system is an autonomous object of the Universe, does not rotate around the center of the galaxy and is in a stationary state in space. 2. Sunlight approaching the edge of the Solar System, under the influence of the Coriolis force of the Sun, is deflected and begins to move along the perimeter of the Solar System, against the rotation of the Sun. 3. The sunlight then slows down, breaks up into particles and collapses into a star, causing the kinetic energy of the light to be transformed into the rotational energy of the stars. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik…

Orientation: (Oversimplified) It’( i)s (perhaps) easiest to say (ruffly=approximately), although the Earth rotates Eastwards, (but) it (=the Earth) travels: ((in a) net) west(ward direction) around the sun, e.g. (at) noon (slightly_)slower (e.g. slowest) & (at) midnight (slightly_)faster (e.g. fastest); & (=but) ruffly at the (same) net_speed at (both) 06:00 (sunrise_equinox, south) & 18:00 (sundown_equinox, north). Earth’s matter (mass) moves at many different speeds (& directions) wrt to its center. It'( i)s very dynamic. =Disclaimer: NOT all of Earth's matter moves at the same speed…

I have a mind-blowing question. Read it carefully: will the sun rise tomorrow? There's sunrise problem. Why is that you think? It seems like so obvious event. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_problem Do you know that the sun will rise tomorrow or do you believe that the sun will rise tomorrow? If you KNOW that, where does that knowledge come from?

(Please) take a look at the math. If I reduce (=decrease) the eccentricity to almost zero (then) Kepler's_orbit_Period (3rd law) is (still) TKepler=ra1.5; but (however) at zero eccentricity e=0 (then) both the semi_major_axis ra & the semi_minor_axis rb are equal to the same (=identical), radius r=ra=rb if e=0 (but) having the circular orbit_Period Tcircle=2*Pi*((r/g)^0.5). Surely, for an Earth's satellite, both Orbit_Periods TKepler_(e=0)#Tcircle r1.5#2*Pi*((r/g)0.5), ^2 are NOT the same &/or can NOT be the same. Squaring both sides r3#4*Pi2*r/g, /r r2#4*P…

Following on from my concept on Time, certain things "fall out" from the theory. For example early humans would have existed in time, evolving from the apes which I agree with. But I propose the evolution was quick helped along by a "substance" not yet discovered by scientists. This would explain why we have not been able to find fossils showing the GRADUAL changes which is absurd. My theory also tries to understand the present and takes a guess at humankind's future. For example, will we ever be able to conquer outer space??? The distances are just too far. Are people hoping for travel at light speed or teleportation???

no not quite Below I will try to give you an overall impression of what I mean Even a hen can find a nugget of gold There is a great risk that I will be misunderstood. I will now give a general description of what I mean. I can understand that some will think that my claims are fantasy. imagination is the first step to take. It's not necessarily the same as fantasy Imagination eventually opens the door to intuition, - not possible to demonstrate. I very much agree with Einsteins mindset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ …
