Speculations

A long time ago on a different forum, I made the claim that only perfect black-body radiation, both in terms of its relative frequency distribution and its intensity, can have a single temperature attributed to it. Every other distribution of radiation has a pair of temperatures attributable to it. The lower temperature is defined as the temperature achieved by an absorption spectrum that minimises absorption and maximises emission, while the higher temperature is defined as the temperature achieved by an absorption spectrum that maximises absorption and minimises emission. Then one can construct an ideal heat engine based on these two temperatures to extract work from th…

A top of a mountain has snow because the atmosphere is less dense at altitude , therefore there is less atmospheric resistance ! Yes ?

Please, take a look at a theory I've created. This is the theory about a different space and time definition. I've really tried to take this work as seriously as possible. And will be glad to get any feedback. Here I will consider a slightly different interpretation of space and time, and try to describe how the world will look like in it, and how different laws will work. The theory based on this another interpretation (I will call it A1) is analogous to classical spacetime. But in it, in addition to the placement (of particles, objects, points, etc.) in a "space", it is also possible, through the properties of this "space" in A1, to set the laws t…

I don't have much background in Biology and I'm not costumed to discuss in the Biology forums (more costumed to the Physics forums) but I think in some related things sometimes. I would like to discuss in this thread if the tyrannosaurus could be a species actually well adapted to live in a wetland environment. Seems to me that considering their big size and weight, their proportionally big head and their notably big feet they could not only easily survive in that environment but also have great advantages to hunt preys in the water and on the coast of the wetlands like crocodiles do. Their big size, weigh and head would be not a problem while floating in the water w…

Is it possible to lift lets say a 100 gram kitten using only a singular balloon of a reasonable size - using any methods possible alternatives to helium etc (Also for clarification - I am NOT testing on kittens this is purely theoretical haha)

As far as I know water_waves travel e.g. at c. How do you deal with low frequency RF? Radio_particles? (Radions?)

I would like to know your opinion on this hypothesis? Abstract: The multiple hypotheses proposed to explain the function of sleep reflect the incomplete understanding of the subject, and through this paper I attempt to put forward an evidencesupported hypothesis on the function of sleep that has not been highlighted. In this research, I relied on previous researches, analyzed them, and linked them , And i came up with a new hypothesis of sleep function, My hypothesis says : that sleep occurs due to the accumulation of “Breathing gas” melting in the human body, and these gases dissolve more whenever the atmospheric pressure is greater, and sleep reduces the numbe…

TL;DR: the clock's perception of frequency is, from a GPS perspective, dependent on gravitational field and motion. I will refer to "Error Analysis for Global Positioning System": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the_Global_Positioning_System From a GPS perspective, magnitude-wise, slowing down/accelerating clocks in motion/gravity is equivalent to shifting the instrument's frequency perception. This is logical: if your clock is going slower then you will perceive the frequency as higher - and vice versa. The gravity calculations presented in the article refer to an infinitely distant point (with ~zero gravity). If one inverts thes…

Quarks (no spatial extension) experience all 3 fundamental forces plus have a fractional electric charge⚡and that's why protons and neutrons (spatial extension) have electrons orbiting around them. In Geometry any new dimension has to contain within it all previous dimensions. This holds true with it being impossible for protons and neutrons (spatial extension) to exist without subatomically containing within themselves quarks (no spatial extension). "Something (spatial extension) from Nothing (no spatial extension)".

Has anyone noticed the 2 large asteroid/meteor strikes north and south of South America? Looks like one took out a land bridge. If you trace the strikes and imagine the tsunami wave sand.... look at North Africa, The Southern tip of Africa, and Australia. Look at the color of that sand! So many questions here! Thank you

I am reaching out as a passionate enthusiast of theoretical physics with a deep curiosity about the fabric of our universe. Premise: My hypothesis is centered around the possibility that spacetime could undergo dramatic ruptures under conditions where an immense mass is concentrated into a scale as small as the classical electron radius, similar to singularity points in black holes. I am particularly fascinated by the idea that such spacetime ruptures could potentially trigger localized big bang-like events on the 'other side' of these singularities. Exploratory Thoughts: - Using the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics, I've theorized how spacetime might react …

Is anyone ready to give up on the nonsensical big bang B.S, yet (bad science , that is) ???? If not now, when? It's obvious, or it should be, that this theory's notion of some primeval atom from which everything (billions of galaxies) sprang forth in a split second is completely illogical and most of us on the outside of science looking in are getting a little tired of this big bang B.S. It's time to move on, salvage what you can and move on. Find something to replace primeval atom as the beginning. I entered my hypothesis here and was told in no uncertain terms no one here wants to hear it; that your theory might be wrong at it's core. We will never know until the …

This comment opened the door for me. Mind is my favourite subject. I am entirely in agreement with the above indicated statement. If you assume, as I do (backed by evidence), that there are varying degrees of intelligence (a substrate of mind for me) in all living things, then it follows the there is only one kind of evolution; guided evolution; not the one guided by a supreme being, but by intelligence (primitive at first in small living things) that gives a bit of vision back to the blind watchmaker. However, intelligence is only a single piece (important one though) in the complex puzzle that is evolution. Note: If the conversation remains on non-living thin…

You are looking at photons right now in reading this. Now just take it for granted that I entangled one of them. How would you tell it apart from the other trillions of photons, and then to prove entanglement you need to measure it which first means isolating the entangled proton, then measuring it, which would invoke Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle making an accurate measurement if not impossible, at least always suspect. Note, I am not arguing that entanglement happens, just wondering how one would find a proton that is entangled say a million miles away?

(apparently) dead?; or stressy & still alive. Why would the Babylonians use 60 divisions, e.g. for minutes & seconds; & (=but) then (suddenly, break that pattern, &) divide the day into (only) 24 hours? That does NOT make sense (to me), unless there was something important about (also) 60 hours. 1. E.g. Anthro(a)pology? Rising (ruffly) on the 3rd day, apparent death. Recommendations exist nowadays to delay burials 1..2 days to prevent being buried alive. https://www.amboss.com/us/knowledge/death/) (PS: But accidents still happen.) 2. (Psychologically) astrologically (=Psych…

First I want to say that I believe women have always been above, better than and healthier than men because evolution gave them 90% of everything needed to continue the Human Species well into the future. A little DNA from a man and they are equipped to do almost all the rest. Nature would not have given women these responsibilities if they were not capable of fulfilling them. The problem has always been mens beliefs and desire to dominate everyone around them. The feminist movement brought some of this to the world's attention and has made things better for women in many ways but is it possible that the immediate changes to the relationship between mother and child due t…

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.....
