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.

The ebb and flow is the result of the rotation of the Earth and the gyres. Tides are not formed along the entire coast of the seas and oceans, but only on those coasts where there is a high speed of currents. And the higher the speed of currents along the coast, the higher the amplitude of the tidal wave. On those coasts where the speed of currents is 0 km / h, the amplitude of the tides is also 0 meters. The waters of the lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming cyclonic gyres. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre And everything that rotates, including th…

My name is Everett, and I have a hypothesis I’d like to share with you. By you, I mean everyone who I can possibly reach. I intend to send this message out to a wide array of different forums and individuals. My hypothesis consists of a new idea regarding the relationship between space-time and matter. It first occurred to me several years ago, when I was watching a video documentary about black holes. I was considering the popular mystery of what happens to matter when it is drawn into the incredible gravitational conditions of a singularity. I was approaching this question in a very casual and simplistic way, so I thought of it like this: Gravity tends to crush things t…

because opposite poles attract. That (interpretation) has been the (obvious) definition for centuries, i.e. based on the Earth('s poles' names), standard. So my compass_needle's blue_part which points North, must be a south_pole magnet.

For those that do not know about the Alcubierre warp drive I have a Wikipedia link below to show you. Wikipedia page for the warp drive Now that we have that out of the way, we can move on to my variation. For the short story, it uses relativity of position to make an illusion of anti-gravity even though it is actually just gravity. Now for the long story. This warp drive is on a railroad, so it used massive spinning rings to warp spacetime around the drive and oppose the force at the front pushing it with gravity. So, I will show you a picture of the normal warp drive and how it works, and you can imagine this idea. So, as you can see, the front of t…

I put this in speculations because it is a developing theory. I call this theory the Vacuum energy-fluid theory. This is because what the theory states is that the vacuum energy is a fluid and does not have the same amount of energy everywhere, or energy density. For those who do not know what the vacuum energy is, I have a link below. Wikipedia page for vacuum energy Now that we have that over, we can get onto the theories. The mathematical equations state this: v = \frac{h}{m\cdot x} E = \frac{c^2h}{vx} (I do not know if LaTex works on this website, so if it does not show up, I will put a link for a latex editor that you can copy and paste instea…

The mechanism of formation of rogue waves. Geofak Moscow State University. https://m.facebook.com/groups/328946357209747 A huge number of tidal waves move in the seas and oceans. When tidal waves collide with the coastline of the continents, tides are formed. When two tidal waves collide in the open ocean, a killer wave forms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave The magnitude of the killer waves can be calculated using the following formula: H = T1 • T2. Where T is the kinetic energy of the tidal wave. Experiment to the topic: The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle - killer waves https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1TIY6ZoV-Jk&feature=youtu.be As we see, kill…

This is a very incomplete theory on how interaction between different universes might be achieved, if other universes even exist. I would like to discuss this with other scientists and possibly refine my theory. (Note: I'm just a high-school student and I'm new to this site, please give me constructive criticism/advice, thank you). On Trans-Universal Interaction.pdf

I have created five fundamental laws of energy that I apply to each of my theories. Law #1: All energy reacts perceptually. Explanation: All types of energy react based on various values such as pressure, heat, velocity, etc., whether in chemistry, physics, or psychology; all energy will react perceptually. Law #2: Every interaction generates instability resulting in a reaction. Explanation: Any interaction with energy will create instability leading to a reaction aiming to achieve a new stability. Law #3: All energy is in perpetual interaction. Explanation: Everything from the atomic scale to the cosmic scale is in constant interaction with its surroundings. L…

Stationary model of the solar system. Community of Russian scientists. https://vk.com/rosuch 1. The solar system is an autonomous object of the Universe, does not rotate around the center of the galaxy and is in a stationary state in space. 2. Sunlight approaching the edge of the Solar System, under the influence of the Coriolis force of the Sun, is deflected and begins to move along the perimeter of the Solar System, against the rotation of the Sun. 3. The sunlight then slows down, breaks up into particles and collapses into a star, causing the kinetic energy of the light to be transformed into the rotational energy of the stars. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik…

Orientation: (Oversimplified) It’( i)s (perhaps) easiest to say (ruffly=approximately), although the Earth rotates Eastwards, (but) it (=the Earth) travels: ((in a) net) west(ward direction) around the sun, e.g. (at) noon (slightly_)slower (e.g. slowest) & (at) midnight (slightly_)faster (e.g. fastest); & (=but) ruffly at the (same) net_speed at (both) 06:00 (sunrise_equinox, south) & 18:00 (sundown_equinox, north). Earth’s matter (mass) moves at many different speeds (& directions) wrt to its center. It'( i)s very dynamic. =Disclaimer: NOT all of Earth's matter moves at the same speed…

I have a mind-blowing question. Read it carefully: will the sun rise tomorrow? There's sunrise problem. Why is that you think? It seems like so obvious event. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_problem Do you know that the sun will rise tomorrow or do you believe that the sun will rise tomorrow? If you KNOW that, where does that knowledge come from?

(Please) take a look at the math. If I reduce (=decrease) the eccentricity to almost zero (then) Kepler's_orbit_Period (3rd law) is (still) TKepler=ra1.5; but (however) at zero eccentricity e=0 (then) both the semi_major_axis ra & the semi_minor_axis rb are equal to the same (=identical), radius r=ra=rb if e=0 (but) having the circular orbit_Period Tcircle=2*Pi*((r/g)^0.5). Surely, for an Earth's satellite, both Orbit_Periods TKepler_(e=0)#Tcircle r1.5#2*Pi*((r/g)0.5), ^2 are NOT the same &/or can NOT be the same. Squaring both sides r3#4*Pi2*r/g, /r r2#4*P…

Following on from my concept on Time, certain things "fall out" from the theory. For example early humans would have existed in time, evolving from the apes which I agree with. But I propose the evolution was quick helped along by a "substance" not yet discovered by scientists. This would explain why we have not been able to find fossils showing the GRADUAL changes which is absurd. My theory also tries to understand the present and takes a guess at humankind's future. For example, will we ever be able to conquer outer space??? The distances are just too far. Are people hoping for travel at light speed or teleportation???

no not quite Below I will try to give you an overall impression of what I mean Even a hen can find a nugget of gold There is a great risk that I will be misunderstood. I will now give a general description of what I mean. I can understand that some will think that my claims are fantasy. imagination is the first step to take. It's not necessarily the same as fantasy Imagination eventually opens the door to intuition, - not possible to demonstrate. I very much agree with Einsteins mindset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ …

The light is the wave and the particle at the same time because of the colour. There is no colour in the nature, it's a product of a human conscience. The light becomes particle when colour is created in the brain.

Attached is my Newtonian research into building a new type of flight transportation system. I am using Newtonian principles such as the scientific method, Plasma Cosmology, and Pilot-Wave Theory. Anyone who "trolls" my design - or claims it doesn't take relativity or space-time into account - will be ignored. It involves a new methodology for making graphene/silicene. The design also potentially includes a way to generate non-thermal hydrogen plasma as a sheath around the entire device. Have a look - it includes about 50 construction & CAD pictures. There is a 1-page summary attached. The entirety of the research notes can be found …

The (Earth's) free_fall gravitational_acceleration at the Earth's surface (radius r1=6378135*[m], equatorial sea_level), is (ruffly (approximated (by me) to), simply) g1=~π^2*[m/(s^2)]-ac1 where π^2~9.8 is multiplied by the (proportionality constant of) units [m/(s^2)] (& then) minus its (=the_Earth's) centrifugal_acceleration -ac1=(vc1^2)/r1, with circumferential_speed vc1=cir/T=2*π*r1/T for a sidereal_day period T=23*[hr]+56*[min]+4*[s], T=23*[hr]*60*[min/hr]*60*[s/min]+56*[min]*60*[s/min]+4*[s], T=82800*[s]+3360*[s]+4*[s] T=86164*[s] & barely produces (a meager loss (from π^2~9.8), of e.g.) -0.34% at the equator.…

When we make a measurement of a physical phenomena, we can only do so by taking advantage of an attribute inherent in the phenomena itself. For instance, we use a rod to measure length. The rod has markings that allow us to measure lengths that are within its boundaries. We use a voltmeter to measure electrical potential differences between two points. The voltmeter uses attributes inherent in electricity and magnetism to make its measurements. This leads us to measurements of time as provided by a clock. All clocks use oscillations of known intervals to measure time. This can be demonstrated in the fact that a sun-dial uses the oscillations as provided by the rotation cy…

Here my attempt to create another model of how the world of waves and particles work (JAM). No math is involved, as most formulas don't actually change. It's just a different, and in my opinion more realistic, way to look at things. It breaks down most physical forces into simpler forces, especially space/time distortions, instead of just calling them a (magic?) property, as in the Standard Model. The same forces which cause gravity may also be responsible for all else: magnetism, electricity, and so on, just as different ways of waves to work out. Discussions are welcome, as long as they are fact based, not based on authorative or other such rhetoric. I belie…

If I were to convert Electricity into average_momentum e.g. & average_forces, then this is how I would (mathematically) proportion (it, algebraically). To deflect its needle, a D’Arsenval meter’s average (e.g. steady state) electromagnetic_force Fai=I*(R^0.5)*Ki, I=V/R & 1/R=1/(R^0.5)*(R^0.5) is proportional to the current I & rooted_resistance R^0.5 & the proportionality constant Ki=Fai/(Pe^0.5)=1*[N/(A*(Ω^0.5)] which is 1*[Newton/(Ampere*rooted_ohm)] (&) that (can be determined by) the average electromagnetic_force Fai divided by the rooted electrical_power Pe^0.5=Piv^0.5=(I*V)^0.5 .…

Some people “boldly” say: 1 degree is 60 minutes (& DON’T think much about it). But I find 4 minutes is better & would have been more reasonable to make more sense, considering that shortcut used for ship navigation in the midevil ages. An Earth’s (solar) day is a complete revolution (cycle, (e.g.) angle wrt the sun), in 24 hours (time). (Note: Unfortunately (now) I find that definition of a day bound to both time & (cycle, e.g. 360°) angle. E.g. Instead of only time.) A cycle is 360° (angle). Wrt the sun the Earth’s angular_speed f=(angle/time)=1*[c…

I was always stunned by the complexity. Proportionality constants exist (almost) everywhere (in Physics), & their complexity has always stunned me; but (peculiarly) I have NOT seen (a textbook) anywhere on how to make (=derive) them (as though (derivation (of their units) is) avoided); so I thought I would give it a whirl (=try) (on my own, as DIM =Do it myself). (It’s only common sense. Dealt with intuitively, due to the(=my) confusion.) Recap: 1 of the most basic (& yet easy (but tricky)) concepts (rarely found in text books) is deriving (=how to derive (them)) proportionality_constant’s “units…

Inspired by the YouTube video: Why Is 1/137 One of the Greatest Unsolved Problems In Physics? https://youtu.be/RCSSgxV9qNw?feature=shared Is an electron a container or is it just a cloud of photons? If you are saying an electron emits photons, then are you also saying that an electron is something more than a cloud of photons? If it is a cloud of photons, then depending on how you measure the energy level of the "electron" wouldn't you be measuring the sum energies of the photons or are you saying electrons have more parts than photons? I have not studied these things. Would it be wrong to think of atomic "particles" as containers? If photons move in wave…
