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 don't know if this starchild skull is news worthy to anybody that hasn't read about it. if you haven't i urge you to go check it out. after you do and you think there might be reason to do more research on it please go to wh.gov/VzQA for a petition for such studies. i have read and agree it should be studied more even if only to study it for future health and medical research. i hope i'm not breaking any rules for this but i can't understand why getting funding or testing done on this is harder than getting it for a study on colors and how they make one feel. really, i find it fascinating, as well as all the nice names and pleasant responses i receive whenever i bri…

    Most mainstream science assumes that dinosaurs had an Encephalization Quotient that was far too low to have allowed intelligence on a hominid level. How ever recent work with birds has reveled that mammal EQ ratios do not apply to birds. The brains of birds would seem to operate differently than mammals with smaller brains allowing complex behaviors. Birds being dinosaurs is accepted as mainstream science so the next question is could intelligent dinosaurs have existed? Many might say immediately that we would have seen the fossils by now but to be fossilized is such a rare event that we know that only a tiny fraction of extinct animals ever fossilize. So could w…

  3. The Coriolis effect causes water to spiral down and out of a draining sink. Maybe someone could tell me how angular momentum is conserved when circular sink full of water is drained and the draining water leaves the sink with unaccountable angular velocity?

    Why has a Newtonian model for fundamental particle masses not been considered? Electroweak gravitation model of an electron: Gravitational force is equal to the electroweak nuclear force: [math]F_g = F_w[/math] Integration via substitution: [math]\frac{G m_{\beta}^2}{r^2} = \frac{\hbar c \alpha_{w}}{r^2}[/math] Electroweak gravitation strength of interaction: [math] \alpha_{w} = \frac{G m_{\beta}^2}{\hbar c} = 1.751 \cdot 10^{-45}[/math] [math]\boxed{\alpha_{w} = 1.751 \cdot 10^{-45}}[/math] Electron mass: [math]\boxed{m_{\beta} = \sqrt{\frac{\hbar c \alpha_{w}}{G}}}[/math] On a fundamental scale, such an interaction could be represented a…

    If an object is stationary in space and it sees another object coming towards it at half the speed of light then you could just as easily say that it's moving towards the other object at half the speed of light and the other object is stationary. There is no distinction between which one is moving. The only statement you can make is that they moving towards each other at half the speed of light. All the laws of physics remain the same in any inertial frame, meaning all frames are equal and no frame can be said to be unique in any way. Having said that, you could use the cosmic background radiation as a frame of reference for all others, but you could do that with any fram…

    The universe is a fascinating place. Physics has spent thousands of years trying to piece together its story, learn its intricacies, and discover its secrets. We have found stars, planets, and whole host of other galactic fancies. If we are to ever get anywhere in space, we are going to need to be able to achieve massive speeds - close on light speed. We'll need these incredible velocities because of the distances involved (it would take us something near to 20 years just to reach pluto). But The Theory of Relativity states that an objects mass increases as its velocity does; "An object that has a mass cannot travel at the speed of light. "As the object approac…

  10. I've just started working on the determination of what cavemen knew and when they knew it. I already was able to deduce most of the metaphysics from a literal understanding of the sole piece of writing that survives in the ancient language, the Pyramid Texts. Now I've begun trying to decipher and deduce the science itself. The educated caveman would have known the nature of gravity, sizes of the earth and moon, orbits (probably non-mathematically), and might have had a wildly inaccurate idea of the speed of light. The typical caveman would maker fewer false statements about nature than the average college graduate. Of course they knew a great deal more than this a…

  12. while trying to fall asleep and thinking about epigenetics it occurs to me that current theories seem to suggest that epigenetic changes--sort of the master gene controller which turns various genes on and off, discontinues using "out dated" genes all together etc--would be perfectly suited to handle gradually occuring long-term and even extreme infrequent short-term changes in the environment without the need for any major base pair mutations, hence little or no changes to the genetic code over even a very long time i.e., the T-Rex basically unchanged for almost 20 millions years (granted fossil remains leave us only to speculate on changes to brain function, endocrin fu…

    To create energy all you have to do is heat up any material that is solid. You can also mix energy creating a different energy. All you do example put a block of stone on top a different types of stone. Then heat it from the bottom, that heat will then froce some of the particles or electrons from the first block to the top and the same time the heat is also forcing the particles from the second stone to come up. Then there it creates a energy force.

  14. http://www.livescience.com/10531-life-began-research-suggests-simple-approach.html So i've reiterated this quite a bit on SF, pretty sure even made a thread awhile back on how I beleive life is only highley evolved energy, everything evolves, and evolution is the answer to life. From elements being created by fission in the belly of a star to hot metal smoldering rocks excreting gasses creating a atmosphere. Things in the universe change, energy changes, it becomes more complex, it evolves. I honestly think that if not in my lifetime, within the next hundred years we will find the right circumstances to harbor the beggining of life as we know it whether it be…

    For NASA people if not have been done. Space suits and space craft can be made without the protection, we will also be able to breath in space without the helmet. How to create this force fields is only found in the core of our planet and also the mix of other layers of the planet . To my understanding the earth has a force field and this ff can be reproduce into a smaller version. This other layers of the planet is what produces the energy and the core is what heats this layers to give out the energy. With this discovery space craft will be able to have gravity inside. Space helmet will not be needed to breath oxygen. We will be able to travel in the speed of…

  16. If Dark Matter exist, many types of interactions might appear. The interactions with neutron star, quark star and Black Hole may be especially high? They have very compact structure. So, no particles can not penetrate into them easily. If we did not find any interactions from these objects, could we have confidence with Dark Matter existence?

    To my own knowledge and understanding of time. I believe that we are but one person traveling in one time zone. We are particles that is traveling so fast that it accually repeating it self but creating a different time line each time it goes around. Imagine a light beam traveling in a circle that 1 beam of light tarveling is creating 1 persons time line. Each time that beam comes around it create another person time line, which is nothing other then yourself 1 person. If wondering about rocks, trees and other things that are still around us. Those are things that we carry with us as memories to the next time line. This is how fast time is.

Every day my brain constantly thinks of how things are behaiving and how it become what it is. I dont calculate by using math skills but I calculate by using my imagination to put them together like a puzzle. To my understanding of everything. It all started from one single particle with one single energy, then it add up in to different groups creating different particles and energy. sample: everything starts from a single particles. This single particles then combine within eachother creating other par…

    Hope this makes sense to someone. Quantum theory provides a basis for atoms to exist in multiple places at a time. Although most people prefer to think of this as evidence for alternate universes, it seems more likely that every atom in our own universe is constructed purely of the same proton, electron, and neutron all of which have a different quantum state allowing that atom (or construction of protons, electrons, and neutrons) to occupy an infinite number of places at once (infinite being a relative number to suggest that it may occupy as many places as there is enough energy to support.) Now, if a single hydrogen atom can have a nearly…

  20. We have not found it in the solar system yet. So, I suggest two experiments to find it. Till finding the Dark Matter, any theory could be a speculation. The key point is an using a metalic hydrogen as a Dark Matter detector. Metalic hydrogen has many nucleus per unit volume. But, making a lot of metalic hydrogen is practically not easy. So, observing the metalic hydrogen planet is , I think, more easy to find the Dark Matter. If there are(were) Dark Matter in the solar system, the Dark Matter can(could) not pass through the high density planet without any interactions. http://www2.ifa.hawaii.edu/newsletters/images/fall01/jupiterInfo.jpg http://www.nasa.gov/mis…

  21. In the ZWM study of 1991 Mandel et al get coherence between the signal photons of two distinct downconversion sources. This is shown with an interference collection between the two possible sources of signal photons (even though they are entangled with the idler). This is achievable because the two downconversions are pumped by a common source which is beamsplit, and because the idler from one downconversion crystal is transmitted through the other downconversion crystal and superimposed with the second idler (made indistinguishable). Thus the name of his paper "Induced coherence without induced emission". Is it possible to get coherence between two distinct sources of s…

  22. what is the speed of light? is it 186mi/sec? i do not believe so. this is only so if we are stationary inside our universe. the 186mi/sec i believe is simply a constant ratio of spacetime, thus if we imaginatively rode a photon, then from our view on the photon there is no motion (ie zero speed, and space disappears!). 186mi/sec only APPEAR to be the speed on light because we are on the surface of our universe. in addition by travelling on a second photon in the opposite direction, we double the RELATIVE speed of light which causes time itself to disappear! what is even more remarkable is NONE of this violates SR.

    Constuct Rules. Constuct Moves at the same speed as Light. Reason If moveing slower, light will escape the Constuct If moveing Faster, nothing within the constuct will have existed. force gravity It created outside the constuct, the constuct moves around a other object. with this simple idee, theory of everything is completed. Time arrow. all clocks within the constuct is set to 0 meaning it do not exist when a object is in motion it get pressured against fibers of space so how is this constuct?, is it flawed?, or sounds about right?
