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.

    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:)

  2. Started by immortal,

    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…

  4. Started by too-open-minded,

    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.

  6. Started by gravitational-aether,

    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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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?

  10. Started by Mordecai,

    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…

  14. 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.

  16. Started by Mike Smith Cosmos,

    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…

  18. The connections between number theory and physics are too powerful, too certain, to be ignored for much longer by the mainstream scientific community. At some point surely we will realise physics can be investigated through the analysis of number theory, and the implications of this are - well, interesting doesn't really cover it. The universe is clearly and unambiguously mathematically consistent. There can only be, by definition, one sum total of existence. And at that scale, the only value we can ascribe to the sum total of existence is that it = 1. If then everything within the sum total of existence is composed of parts of that sum total, it's not illogical to su…

    After spending the last few months analyzing commonly available data in an effort to mathematically substantiate a particular theory of mine, I've stumbled upon a number interesting realizations that may merit further consideration. The specifics of which (thus far) I've summarized, due to length, on the following website: https://sites.google.com/site/sifrtheory/ I must mention that it is merely a different interpretation of the basics and not always congruent with the popular unproven theories of today.

I have a thought, and that thought I find personallyprofound. To those in the aforementionedfields it may be but a laugh, but nonetheless I find it compelling in thenature of shared wisdom to share. My father would be proud in that neither of us could evermake a square cut, but could mathematically make seemingly round objects out ofinfinite straight lines.

  23. According to the vicious circle principle (VCP) the evolution of humans generally, and the development of Homo sapiens in particular, differ from what is the case for other species in that we are the only species to develop technology. Paradagmatically this development occurs in a situation of scarcity, and turns that situation into one of surplus. This surplus allows the human population to grow until it runs into the problem of scarcity again. And then, in certain cases, a new form of technology is invented/discovered, and the scarcity is once again transformed into a surplus, with subsequent population growth. And so on. This explains, among other things, why the human…
