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.

Persy Bridgman,American physicist,winner 1946 Nobel Prize in Physics in his book "Dimensional Analysis". was very sceptic and critical about Planck units. I have additional arguments to protect Bridgman's point of view Does all Planck units are sacred or only one? We doesn’t have guarantee G, c, are real constants or not, during the evolution of the Univertse. We doesn’t have guarantee they depend of each other or not,or 2 sides the same coin. Imagine that G and c simultaneously vary….because permitivity of vacuum vary following the evolution. But we believe: 1.Schwarshild black hole R radius G/c^2 2.Planck unit L of length G/c^3 3.Planck unit T of time …

In the beginning some quote from famous Russian physicist Lev Okun: "As for the fermions of the second and third generations, their role in the world around as appears to be negligible. At first glance, the world would not seem to be any worse if these particle never existed. These particles resemble draft versions that Creator has thrown out as unsuccessful, but that we, using sophysticated instruments have retrieved from the waste basket" L.B. Okun, Particle Physics: The Quest for Substance of Substance,p.33 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/particle-physics-rachel-lee/1028339663?ean=9783718602285 I proposed idea about sense of generations of particles Mass of pro…

This is a purely imaginative question while I am reading Hawking's books. I am wondering about the whole light being a wave and particle at the same time and string theory; is light like a string through space-time so that in one point of view, light is a particle (cross-section of a string) but light is also a wave (like waves produced on a string)? So just as in the two-slit experiment that showed destructive interference and constructive interference, does this happen to light in the scale of the universe? I am trying to imagine light in the view of string theory with world-sheets having a wave-like properties and ripple effects with destructive and constructive in…

Is feedback negative when AB < 0 or when 1/(1 - AB) < 1? Correspondingly, is feedback positive when AB > 0, or when 1/(1 - AB) > 1? I've found nothing but conflicting information on this. Also, while species, hormones, nutrients, and even entire populations are governed via negative feedback, how does one determine what A and B are? In a furnace, for example, governed via a thermostat, this is clearly a negative-feedback system. But what is A in this case, what is B, and which equation quantifies it as a negative-feedback system? AB < 0? Or 1/(1 - AB) < 1? According to my calculations, it's not possible for both equations to be valid. I need …

I want to start by saying that there is little to no scientific backing for what I'm about to say. I am no physist and I have no ways to prove these theories, This is just some things that I have thought of and seems like it could be viable, atleast to me. My hope is that someone on these boards will either rip my theory to shreds and show me why it is not possible or that someone will give me some kind of scientific backing. Basically I think it is possible that the universe itself is a living organism. I have heard many theories on what a black hole is and what happens inside of one. One thing we do know is that a black hole sucks in all the matter than comes into c…

The main idea here is that we should go to great lengths to test our laws in physics, 1. against nature. 2. against intuition and logic We have one or both of two alternatives 1. To rigorously check our laws of physics against nature AND/OR 2. Our laws of physics should be based on sound logical consistency. This requirement should be even more tight if we can't test our theories in the laboratory or if there is some (apparent) discrepancy between a law of physics and actual observations. So physicists should either have been able to explain 'elliptic' orbits with (extreme) logical consistency or should have 'explored' the universe to find at lea…

The clock as the time measurement device is simply a counter of reference pulses, produced by selected timing system (mechanical, electrical, atomic, astronomical), depending on the technology of the clock. The basic unit of time for all clocks, which is the second, is based primarily on astronomical frame of reference as 1/86400 of the Earth day. So defined a second, as a reference unit of time, must always be constant and invariant. It is a fundamental condition that it was possible to measure the true time in any frame of reference. With this in mind, below is presented a simple graphical proof that the interpretation of the theory of relativity in terms of time, st…

Opinions, comments or exclamation points. Francesco Celani 1, a stalwart LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) experimentalist has built a sucessful cold fusion generator that has been giving out 5-10 watts for over 6 weeks. It consists of a glass container filled with hydrogen and containing a long thin nickel-copper wire. He says he had to“pump” it up for 2 days before getting it started. It seems that Celani’s idea is to compress as many protons as possible into the nickel-copper lattices. Roughing up the surface of the wire, as Celani does, helps absorb protons into the lattice more easily. The protons may be compressed enough that they could gain enough electrostati…

(hypothesis against the mainstream) Actual theory accepted today says that dinosaur extinction is by a meteorite but this has many problems. A meteorite could to kill all animals or big animals but extinct all dinosaurs (less birds). Dinosaurs was big and also little (“Dinosaur size” in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_size not say the moment but say that was so little like 30 cm). Dinosaurs only exist on land, in the sea were reptiles. After the extinction not exist none dinosaur, only the birds that are a branch considered a branch of the dinosaurs (“birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur ) So, ask: How is …

(hypothesis against the mainstream) The probability of 2 advanced societies needed for the seti proyects is near 0: To give an approximation we need consider the live of the star, our star (the Sun) has 4.57 billion years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun ) and with estimated live total of 12.3 Billion years (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_longer_do_scientists_think_the_sun_will_live) Our advanced society has only 100 years (really many less) and probably will have few years more (oil peak, …). In all forms we can consider 1000 years of advanced civilization for connect with other civilizations in the universe, this means that 1000/12,300,000,000…

In 2011, the OPERA experiment mistakenly reported neutrinos appearing to travel faster than light. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_anomaly Very probably is an anomaly, I go not treat this now, but the physics say then that cannot to be true and that it’s against measures of the “theoretical physicist at CERN, believed it difficult to reconcile the OPERA results with the SN 1987A observations” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_anomaly In all this explanations and beliefs they forget that light is a wave and neutrino is matter, waves travel at a constant speed in an environment but matter can travel at different spee…

It must be some kind of cultural thing? I mean, the ancient Romans had the same brains as we have today. But they never invented steam engines or started an Industrial Revolution. Also, and this seems quite startling, in 1902 humans didn't know how to make heavier than air machines. Yet just 38 years later.... look what was going on! Spitfires, Me-109's, B-17's, jet-fighter prototypes under test ... and by 1959, the US B-70 "Valkyrie" intercontinental strategic bomber - flying at 2,000 mph, 70,000 feet high, to drop a 20 MT H-bomb anywhere in the Soviet Union! Can all that amazing progress have been merely genetic? It seems a bit incredible!

Well, since we've established quantum mechanics, and the concept that a particle can be in many places simultaneously, and also this idea of spooky interactions, I thought I'd take a stab at expansion. If expansion is true, and the other things I mentioned are also true, then it could follow that the future is actually what is causing the expansion. If you want to get more details of my personal theory, read cognitive intemporality in speculations. It hasn't been disproven yet, and all attempts to do so have been fallacious. I've also introduced another concept that deals with thought and paranormal activity. I want to rename it, but you guys can stick whatever la…

I never knew what c was until just recently. I've been taking it as meaning the maximum speed for everything lately, which would make sense to me. (My strength is in my weakness). That being said, is there another way to get from point A to be B? The answer is yes. I call it focussed unirepelsive spatially parametric discharge, and as long as you maintain a unirepelsive field that is greater than the size of the object traveling, then the object should travel through the empty space to the point of interest free of inertia until it needs to decelerate. The absolute cure to inertia is still unclear. A substance with unirepelsive properties would be one tha…

(Machine translation) The introductory part of a comprehensive treatise Socrates vision of kvarton universe Socrates hypothesis of kvarton's universe, I hope that a sufficiently credible solves century controversy éterists with relativists. Age-old rivalry of the two camps has created an ideological trench mutual misunderstanding of reality: Relativists never failed to causally explain the existence of such as limit velocity, nor known dielectric properties of "emptiness" - the vacuum. In contrast, supporters of the ether are unable to causally explain its two apparently antagonistic properties: the ability to transmit electromagnetic waves also the highest f…

Our responce to music is different than if we were to hear a random assortment of noise but why? I don't know the answer and can only speculate as to why we respond to music the way we do. Could it be because sound travels in a wave, so when the wave has a pattern and is symmetrical we recognize differently than a random wave? Humans are wired to recognize symmetry and patterns so could this be relevant when we recognize a sound wave? I'm not saying this is why we like music only asking if theirs anything to it and if any of you know why we like music so much.

It isn't and It has nothing to do with me. The law of nature: The strong survive and the weak wither away. So diet may contribute, and it both reduces and causes. It has to do with DNA stability and is a risk reward probability, not a definite. LOL. You didn't understand anything. Folic acid is the synthetic version of folate. The research says... 1) Synthetic(man-made) folic acid is one of the causes of cancer and aggrevates the cancer that is already in the body. 2) A deficiency of natural folate from raw edible leaves causes cancer. 3) Natural folate from raw edible leaves reverses cancer; along with all the other powerful anti-cancer nutrient…

In order to explain the acceleration of galaxies, an observation which is the opposite of what Big Bang theory predicted, cosmologists have invoked the existence of a mysterious 'dark energy' which is drawing all the matter in the universe towards it. No explanation is given to explain what this newly postulated force of nature is, or how it exerts its effects. It is simply yet another 'fudge factor' that has been introduced to keep the Big Bang show on the road. However, an alternative explanation might be that the galaxies are under the influence of the only known force of nature capable of causing such acceleration - gravity. This would require the existence of a super…

Orch OR is of particular interest to me, as it seems to provide an explanation for things that mystics in societies around the world have been writing about and experiencing for thousands of years without really knowing what was happening to them. The universal mystical 'enlightenment' of consciousness is standardized. There is a feeling of 'leaving the body' - and then dhyana commences which I can gladly cut through the bs for you and describe as a highly energetic state - that is like being an expansive sun and all it's sunshine expanding through the universe (subjectively). It's been my speculation that what may happen in certain states of Dhyana is to mimic th…

Hello All, Recently I came across one paranormal investigator, Paul F Eno, who is considered to be "the smartest voice in the paranormal" today and is convinced that all paranormal phenomena is explained solely through the quantum multiverse, here is the talk show, he even speak that similar photographic in different rooms with some electromagnetic field are the evidence of multiverse, and that elecgtromagnetic force ties everything in the multiverse,here is his articles about it: http://www.newenglandghosts.com/multiversesimplified.htm http://www.newenglandghosts.com/2012.htm This is the most "amazing": http://www.newenglandghosts.com/thegoodworld.htm …
