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.

While this is usual, I am amazed to see such absurd irrational fallacies and acts of faith in the name of science, and even sometimes by high level scientists ready to tell any bullshit to politicians in order to keep the credits on their projects. People still fancying that anything might be possible because, supposedly, "nobody knows" what can be discovered, and what can have potential applications. What is this based ? On history, maybe ? Of course, in general, it is true that scientific research can be useful, and that some discoveries in fundamental science had wonderful application. But... Is this a good reason to tell any bullshit and to worship science in a relig…

From the next figure model we can claculate Redshift value. In this model, we assume that the cause of Redshift is the interactions between the light and surround something. So, we can apply modified Beer Lambert model. [latex]Z=\frac{\lambda _{c}}{\lambda _{t}}-1[/latex] Beer Lambert law [latex]\frac{I_{c}}{I_{t}}=e^{-kd}[/latex] [latex]\frac{I_{c}}{I_{t}}=\frac{E_{c}/tA}{E_{t}/tA} \cong \frac{h/\lambda _{c}}{h/\lambda _{t}}=\frac{\lambda _{t}}{\lambda _{c}}[/latex] [latex]\frac{\lambda _{c}}{\lambda _{t}}=e^{kd}[/latex] [latex]Z=e^{kd}-1[/latex] From known data Z=1, L=6 k=0.09 So [latex]Z=e^{0.09d}-1[/latex] where d=13.75-L d; distance(Billion year) …

From well known Redshift formula, we can draw a diagram about the Universe expansion. Other factors, i.e., Doppler effect, etc. are ignored.

Our Earth is still 'not yet fully explored and occupied', so declaring something extinction is almost always a probability thing, right? Coelacanth were thought to be extinct, until one popped up in a fisherman's net, but this is an isolated incident, except that people are both hearing and seeing the giant red headed woodpecker. So with these and other examples readily available, why is cryptozoology so ill-respected respected in general? The question I'd really like an answer to is how would a layman prepare an argument for the non-extinction of anything, sans a body?

I know how to make a device that allows you to go to another place without traveling the space in between.This is how you do it you put an object on the ground that is going a constant speed of 18 miles per hour backwards and on top of that object is a object that is going a constant speed of 1 miles per hour forwards.The object that is going a constant speed of 1 miles per hour forward has on it a rectangular platform with two objects on it that are side by side.One of the objects is going a constant speed of 1 mile per hour backwards and the other object is going a constant speed of 9 miles per hour.IF you are on the platform you will observe the objects going a way fro…

Okay... here goes. A Theory of Quantum Gravity: Fresnel Shells in Crumple Space. So, Einstein views space-time as smooth. Long sweeping curves, like heavy objects on a wide sheet of stretchy rubber. However, WMAP has measured the curve of the universe and shown that over all, the universe is flat. Frankly, that makes no sense. With all this matter in it, space should have SOME sort of curve to it, either negative or positive, but no. It's flat. So, how is this possible? The huge sweeping curves of Einstein's general relativity seems like a great deal of wasted, errr… "space". I mean, if you think about it, it has to be curving into SOME…

I had considered working through on my own, but decided i'm more interested in advancing the theory than protecting it. If possible, I would like some feedback or insight on where to look at for the major holes in this before investing the time / resources on the details. Any thoughts? Is there any string research being done on quantum level particles and their movement or transition through dimensions? Theory Summary: The following describes how gravity is unified into relativity at a quantum level. To sum up, the 4th dimension (not considering space/time as the 4th dimension) is scale. It is very simple to understand and visualize 'scale', this s…

Force is mass acceleration and curvature is equal and opposite reaction to inertial pressure differential. Mathematical calculations based on curvature are alphanumeric images of force. Images are easily misinterpreted. Is "That might be the most meaningless nonsense I've ever read in a single post." a kind and well reasoned response? peace ron (:I see through the empress` new cloak:)

I have been thinking about this question for quite a while and want opinions from mathematicians, programmers and others. http://denninginstitute.com/pjd/PUBS/AmSci-1990-2-thinking.pdf I want to specifically discuss about this question. We know mathematicians prove theorems, for example Alan Turing proves that no algorithm exists to solve the halting problem and he arrives at an algorithm which shows what algorithms cannot do but my question is did he arrived at that algorithm in a computable way or to put it in an another way is there an algorithm which generates other algorithms or did he just discovered it in a non-computable way. Even programmers come up with n…

First off the Michelson and Morley experiment, if there is an aether and light is already traveling on it then why would putting light in a different medium be a viable experiment. Also if there is an Aether, it doesnt mean light has to have it to travel. I'm sure when you slap a wall the energy from your slap still travels as if you slapped a body of water. The water just shows you the disturbance infront of your slaps energy. Right? I'm not saying there is an aether, I just want to brainstorm and talk about it.

Here below a picture from the Wikipedia article about redshift: So I made a screenshot of this picture and imported into a Cad program. Then I joinded graphically the end of the absorption lines, as accurately as possible, and ended with the following graph: So I thought the Wiki picture is not good. I found this other one from Brian P. Schmidt Nobel lecture page 5 ( http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2011/schmidt-lecture_slides.pdf ) . And I did the same thing, importing in Cad, joigning the lines, and obtaining this below: Then I did something else: i scaled the image down and put it above the original …

The Michelson-Morley experiment looked for an absolutely stationary space the Earth moved through. The aether is not an absolutely stationary space. Aether is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it. A moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave. In a double slit experiment the particle travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the aether passes through both. In a double slit experiment it is the aether which waves.

First, the Relativistic energy equation: E2 = p2 + m2 treats rest-mass like a "hyper-momentum", in an extra spatial dimension: E2 = pxyz2 + pw2 That extra "w" dimension can be construed, as the hyper-spatial "thickness" of the fabric of space-time. The fabric of space-time may have an "inside surface", and an "outside surface". And, the wave-functions of quanta may reside in between both said surfaces, like ice cream between the wafers of an ice cream sandwich. In reduced-dimensional visualization, in (1+1)D, the space-time fabric of our universe may resemble a "vase". In this hypothesis, that "vase" would have some "hyper-thickness", and would n…

I was amazed to read about scalar, longitudinal electromagnetic waves as I have never heard of them before. However, I was casually looking through the web and found this: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~sai/Beard_wmod.htm My questions are: Do such waves exist? If they do, what sort of properties would they show and how could you detect them?

This is one point constant accelerated expansion model. Observer line calculation t_current=t+L/C t_current=t+(L_initial +vt)/C v=(Ct_current-L_initial)(1/t) -C t_current; current time, 13.75billion year L_initial; initial Supercluster distance from the Earth In the case of constant acceleration Observer line calculation t_current =t+L/C t_current=t+(L_initial +(1/2)vt)/C where (1/2)v is average velocity value from Big Bang to a point. Solve above equation to the v. v=(2C t_current -2L_initial)(1/t) -2C one point expansion, Linitial=0 v=(2C t_current )(1/t) -2C v; speed of expansion(1x1022km/billion year) C; speed of light(9.46x1021km/billion year) t; time(billio…

20th century cosmological conjectures have reached a self-destructive stage due to: 1) Excessively far fetched implications (e.g., entire galaxies at the edge of the known universe are proffered to travelling faster than the speed of light in vacuum); 2) Gross internal inconsistencies (e.g., per very definition of explosions, the big bang would require the universe to be empty for about 13.7 billion light years from Earth, with galaxies then decreasing in speed, in dramatic disagreement with astrophysical evidence, while the background radiation can be easily proved to have been absorbed by galaxies and intergalactic media billions of years ago); and 3) Large failures …

Let me first start out by saying that I have never taken a physics class but am intrigued by the topic. With that being said i believe I still have an interesting theory... It can be said that the 4 known dimensions can be represented by a line. With our 3 spatial dimension extending an infinite amount left, right, fowards, back and up down. Our 4th dimension being time, stretching linearly and infinitly into the past and into the future. Now let's consider the dynamic of size to be a dimension and look at this in the same way. A linear with the smallest known measurments of existence (strings) to the largest known measurments of existence (super clusters) as poi…

Light can travel through the space. But we have not obtained the maxmum limit value of it's flux( energy / (time .unit area) ) yet. So, to define the limit value, MLLFS(maximum limit of light flux in the space) will be useful for the future researcher. I hope someone will obtain the exact value from the experiment.

Take a taste! The introductory part of a comprehensive treatiseSocrates vision of kvarton universe Socrates hypothesis ofkvarton's universe, I hope that a sufficiently credible solves centurycontroversy éterists with relativists. Age-old rivalry of the two camps hascreated an ideological trench mutual misunderstanding of reality: Relativistsnever failed to causally explain the existence of such as limit velocity, norknown dielectric properties of "emptiness" - the vacuum. In contrast,supporters of the ether are unable to causally explain its two apparentlyantagonistic properties: the ability to transmit electromagnetic waves also thehighest frequency w…

The description of probability waves being related to all particles whether very small like neutrinos or very large like the earth under the wave particle duality, appears to make the wave aspect relevant at neutrino size but not relevant at earth size. ( De Broglie ) This I understand relates to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle being currently discussed in the Quantum Physics Forum . One aspect of probability has connotations of " one moment here" probably or " one moment in TIME " there probably. IF ( SPECULATION ) we were to take ourTime Out of the aspect of probability, then surely the particle would or could be everywhere that the probability wa…
