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.

According with Quantum Mechanics, the electron is moving in the potential field V( r ) produced by proton in a hydrogen atom, and r is the distance of the electron to the proton. At any time, only if the propagation speed of potential field V( r ) by the proton is infinite, the potential field acting on the electron could be expressed by V( r ). Clearly, that contradicts with the experimental result of propagation speed of electromagnetic field (light), as well known, the speed of light in the vacuum is finite, and is about 300,000Km/s. So, I think quantum mechanics contradicts with the experiment result of light speed, is that right?

My theory states that time is the length between two point. If there is no length, there is no time. Is that a contradiction? If so, why? I'll have to look into Lorentz equation, but it seems to be consistent with my observations.

Going of the basis that axioms are sets of laws or rules which explain or dictate the core relationship of mathematical concepts, it's got me curious as the whether there is any way of finding patterns in axioms or numerological systems that could create new axiomatic laws; Now from what i know of numbers this would seem rather impossible due to the actual reality in which the numbers are being used, so for example i'd have no way of finding euclidean axiom based on pure numbers per say because euclidic axioms are based firstly on the concept of the cortesian plane and secondly based on the concept of shapes (vectors, vertices, angles, Pythagorean laws etc ) which bo…

The previously proposed new theory of Relativity of EM Fields assumed a constant speed of an observer relative to the light source. Now this theory can well be called Special Relativity of EM fields. As I looked closely into the new theory, I was disappointed at first when I discovered that the theory implied a variation of the speed of light for an observer in accelerating motion relative to the source. The implication of the theory seemed to contradict with the foundation of the theory. After some thought I found out that this variation of C to be vitally important because this gives the theory the potential to explain the results of those experiments that are claim…

In the previous two posts on Special and General Theories of Relativity of Electromagnetic Fields, an alternative, more intuitive and logically consistent explanation for the absolute constancy of the speed of light has been presented, and a possibility of the new theory to explain those evidences and experiments that are claimed as confirmation of Einstein's relativity has been given. We know that the whole theory of Einstein's relativity is based on the two postulates. The second postulate (the light speed postulate) has already been divorced from Einstein's relativity. This post is about the first postulate. In this paper, the incorrectness of Galileo's invaria…

(hypothesis against the mainstream) The strong nuclear force and weak nuclear forces are considered two of the four fundamental interactions of nature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction) and (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction ) Strong interaction is in 2 areas : “is the force that binds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom” and also “that holds quarks together to form protons, neutrons and other hadron particles.” xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Weak nuclear force: “It is responsible for the radioactive decay of subatomic particles and initiates the process known as hydrogen fusion in stars.” - http://en.wikipedia.…

There are reasons I'm posting this in theoretical physics and not in speculations, and the reasons are two things, you can investigate this claim, and, it directly relates to spooky interactions. In another thread, I mentioned an established hypothesis in linguistics called linguistic intemporality. I decided to broaden the definition because it seems to hold for behavior altogether. The hypothesis is this. Given a set of particles (lets call them concepts), if they all have the same exact shape and structure, then they are the same particle (concept) regardless of their location in space or time. The reason this conclusion was drawn was because of an experience that …

Throughout my life I've known people who have either commit suicide or have tried several times. They all have something in common, there is always a brother and a sister. We might need to give people the heads up on potential experiences that have side effects as well.

Is a pole shift imminent? There is mounting evidence that the Earth will physically shift on it's axis as the outer planets seem to be doing as amateur astronomers are reporting, is there a coverup going on concerning this situation? http://www.examiner.com/article/pole-shift-has-begun-on-outer-planets-and-chavez-goforth-needs-help-to-prove-it http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi/noframes/read/129160

Often there is people that seem to have will power, life force, inspiration, mental energy, direction of what they want to do with their life, emotions, etc... What if these qualities are internal energies... how could we measure them?

This is an attempt to jointly (in this forum) sketch a most likely scenario for origin of life ----Start--of--Note----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let’s jointly sketch a most likely scenario for the origin of life. Since the origin of life is a historic event, the target is not to prove anything but to achieve plausibility. I am looking forward to your comments / critics / opinions How to structure the discussion: I have sketched a most likely scenario for the origin of life from my point of view as a starting point for the discussion. Read the abstract provided below (in this first post) Before you make a …

I was "relegoing" the model in my head, stitching together new information with old and came up with this: I learned a long tome ago that it is accepted that the electromagnetic scale is infinte in both directions. And now I know that the space and time can expand and contract at infinite rates and that this is relative to a local perspective. Now, if we throw into the mix that many now believe that black holes have a singularity as a core. I can imagine that some of these singularities could be as vast and as limitless as our own universe. Well, I got to thinking that if this is true than a big bang scenario must fit nice and neatly into the realms of possibility t…

Is there something to the possibility that the meteor could have been shot down, they have to look at all the evidence and get to the bottom of it, there's lots of photographic evidence and eye witnesses so the task can't be that difficult. http://beforeitsnews.com/paranormal/2013/02/which-russian-meteor-conspiracy-theory-sounds-best-to-you-

Could it be possible that the subconscious, is evidence of us having limited access to our brain? Could the brain possibly store more information than we are aware? I kinda feel like this question has already been proposed and some psychologist has already shown the brain stores more information than our consciousness allows us access to but yeah, any thoughts on this?

The universe is relative to thinking, and relative too who tells the best story, and is the most convincing with their logic. Time and velocity is relative to size of mass, and distance is relative to time. We are lead to believe that gravity exists, although no one can explain why it exists. To make a sphere to spin and rotate there as to be external kinetic energy to start that spin and put force into that spin. The only force in the universe, that can appear and disappear, and have the centripetal force to push mass together is a black hole. A test with a sphere spun at high speeds shows that centripetal force turns that sphere into an obl…

I have been trying to get this out to people for many years via 'normal' channels, but i don't personally know any cosmologists. I know astronomers, and they have told me the theory is valid and potentially significant, but they were working in planetary, solar, and plasma science, so they weren't able to advise me further. They encouraged me to find someone in cosmology or theoretical mathematics, but that was harder than i realized. And now, since there are so many people with interesting theories, mine is just one of many. At least on this forum, there's a bunch of people who may have time to view it. So, here i am. This theory reduces the dimensions down to a ba…

Hey people, I just want to let you know something before you get too carried away with the python english interlanguage equation I provided in the thread "the repelsion theory of reduction". The interlanguage solution I provided is wrong. I learned that as soon as I tried implementing sound to the system. It's highly inefficient, but may be useful in other areas. The actual equation has to do with the impact of the environmental pressure fluctuations at the sensory systems. The poi finder is inefficient for large amounts of data but may work for minimal elements. The actual process, at the maximal level of observation, involves the poi and the npoi (next point of inte…

The so called scientific evidence is just as bad as reading the bible. DNA = Blueprint. So.. when you can create DNA from non-biological molecules is when you have actual evidence on evolution and how it actually functions. You have nothing just like religions have nothing.

The whole story of relativity begins with a paradox on the speed of light: relative to what is the speed of light constant? Einstein correctly solved this postulate by his light postulate: the speed of light must be the same to all observers. However, the light postulate provokes another immediate question: how can two observers in relative motion measure the same speed of the same light beam? At his point, Einstein made a huge stride: space and time must be relative. And an even more radical proposition: not only space and time but also mass must be relative. Now it is this huge 'jump' that was unnecessary. This radical proposition has cre…

Hello, I'm wondering if it can be demonstrated mathematically that the speed of light is caused by negative feedback in spacetime as a regulatory-feedback system. While no one to my knowledge has ever put it in those words before, Einstein appears to have have demonstrated this extremely well with General Relativity, relativistic mass, the Twin Paradox & more. I just don't know how to demonstrate that AB < 0, as well as the percentage of feedback. The speed of light is ultimately determined by the Lorentz Factor, which shows that the relative velocity between two observers is regulated via constancy in the frame of reference dt. This equation is as follows: …

Back again after discovering the wonderful text The Genesis of General Relativity. Nordstroem's theory of gravity was the last scalar field theory of gravity that was a challenge to GR. Once the bending of light was verified it was mainly forgotten except as a teaching tool for General Relativity. What is fascinating about it is that the scalar fields have a tensor equivalent of [math]R=\kappa T[/math]. According to http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers/einstein-nordstroem-HGR3.pdf the regular Newtonian scalar function [math]\Phi[/math] was used originally within a Laplacian and then with the D'Alembertian as it was a simple logical choice (Einstein had also att…
