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.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event We keep hearing about ways to remove CO2 from Earth's atmosphere and this is a good idea but this tiny fern has in the past taken the earth from a hothouse earth to an icehouse earth. Can we use it to sequester CO2 now? Azolla has many interesting uses, it can be used as cattle feed, or to feed ducks and geese. I suspect, but I am not sure, that humans can eat it as well. Any body of water it grows across is cleaned by the fern and the fern squashes the reproduction of mosquitos. shallow bodies of water could be used to grow the stuff and harvest it to either feed to animals or even use as a fuel source.

    Just as a hydrogen atom is made up of a positive and a negative particle, arrays of electrical particles can take on stable formations. A case can be made for the earth and our sun to both be holding negative electrical charge charge. As such, both bodies would posses downward-pointing electric fields that lead to existence of a congestion of positive particles at their central cores. Meditation over how negatively charged outer shells of these bodies would hold lesser charges of positive polarity within themselves brings needed insight toward the electrical influence upon galactic infrastructure.

    Why doesn't the moon revolve (dark side away)? I believe that the earths core also "holds its position" in lock step with the moon. That is the core revolves once every 28 days and continually faces its same face toward the moon. The earths crust, is in motion over it. There are “magma currents” much like the ocean currents and jet streams, yet inner core. This explains more the lay of mountains in their relative lines. When in the "right" position the lava can burst through weak spots as the rivers of lava flow under-crustal plates in very organized and constant flow. The temperature changes can be noted by the varying intensities.. and are cause by solar emissions flowi…

    Let's say that for some arbitrary reason, like say random luck during when the universe is created, that space was not actually completely flat, but that it has a cumulative 4-dimensional curvature over distance? If that were so, as objects were further away, the degree of curvature they passed through from any relative observer would increase. I don't know if it's completely true, but based on my understanding of black holes, as light approaches a black hole, it redshifts, but this is not because a black hole is pulling in the light at a greater speed, this is due to the curvature of space as light approaches the black hole. So, I should theoretically be able to set the …

    Current QM is wrong, obviously, of course there is physical acceleration. When an electron is orbiting nucleus, small disturbances won't count. When electron comes back to S1, it causes photon to emit. That photon takes the most disturbing energy away from electron and harmonic wave emerges again.

    II recently have come up with an idea or a "theory" to what the human race might possibly be. After reading a book that Neil Degrasse Tyson wrote he mentioned that we humans are made up of star dust. The star dust from super novas spread through the galaxy landing on various planets in orbit, and starting life. I guess my idea starts there, if this is the case would it not be fair to say it is possible that the universe has created us on purpose? for what purpose one may ask? Well to be briefe, the universe could be depleated from what we humans carry and use every single night of our lives. Dymethyletriptamine - DMT. DMT is realesed while we sleep and is responsible for …

    Could the very basis of forward time, time generally moving in one direction, be part of a mechanism that underlies the universe? Here is how simple I believe it is and I call it the ghost wave theory. Given As accepted, the big bang singularity was one with itself until it became what is now known as mass, energy and space accelerating at an increasing change. Is it possible that the energy transfer from matter to space continues and space, created at the big bang, continues to be created by the decay of mass and energy? Could this process of mass and energy decay creating space, if it is happening, be the framework to the futu…

    Square seconds are a feature of Newtonian mechanics, which is just a mathematical convenience and not a proper description of the universe. The fact that Newtonian mechanics deals with energy, but never includes the mass of the energy in equations, clearly illustrates this. If you crash a car into a wall at 300 m/s, then you can calculate the energy released, using ½ mv², and you get an answer in kg m²/s² or joules. But you can also use the equation ½ m(v/c)², and get the energy released in units of kg, in this case half a trillionth of the mass of the car. Near the speed of light these equations fail completely, and energy has to be expressed in its proper unit…

    1.When we measure meters, we measure distance. When we measure square meters, we measure area. There is a difference between distance and area: these are different concepts representing 2 different aspects of the physical world. 2.When we measure seconds, we measure time. When we measure square seconds, we measure...what? Are there 2 times orthogonal to each other, like the meters oriented in orthogonal directions? And if yes (or if no), what are square seconds representing?

    Hello Everybody, Firstly, I want to talk about my story. A few years ago, I read an article of Marmanis. It was about "Analogy between the Electromagnetic and Hydrodynamic Equations: Application to Turbulence". Before that, I already knew, Einstein was thinking that the matter is a kind of soliton that made by kuantum field. I thought, there must be a relation between them. I imagined kuantum field as super fluid medium and soliton as vortex. I made a search based on this idea. And I have a theory that is universe is a superfluid medium. I tried to explain, gravity, electric field, the energy formula of Einstein, E=mc2, electron orbitals, molecular orbital theory…

    Either the organic lump of mush inside our heads are somehow capable of producing consciousness on their own, or our brains are ariels that pick up some kind of signal (probably neutrinos from the sun) and turn them into thoughts (easily testable). I just think it's a bit more believable that our complex thought processes and perceptions need an external source of energy rather than being generated purely by a lump of organic mush inside our skulls, and it makes me feel more connected to the universe when I think about it which is always nice. We'll find out soon when people go to Mars and find that their IQs drops dramatically.

  15. Nucleons are ~10-15m (=1 fm) across. The gluon-field between the three quarks, in nucleons, accounts for 99% of the mass-energy of the nucleon; "bare naked" quarks only mass ~3-4 MeV. And, the gluon field can be described by a potential energy, which increases linearly, with inter-quark separation distance ®, approximately U = +(1GeV / fm) x r. Ipso facto, if neutronized matter, in a relativistically compact object, were to collapse beyond the neutron-star stage; then gravity would compress the quarks, within the neutrons, together, reducing their separation distances, and so weakening their gluon fields. In effect, gravity would "take over" for the strong force, conf…

  17. My idea - For something to have mass it must be in motion. More motion shows more energy. More mass is more energy. Everything is energy just on a different frequency. Everything is in motion and nothing is at a halt. The universe like a photon, always in motion. For something to not be in motion means it would have no mass and no energy. Could the universe always be in motion and never at a standstill? The universe has always been and hopefully always will be?

My opinions are hardly of extensive experience and educational discipline. Taking what think as a grain of salt mya be an overestimate of its worth.

    Without life the universe wouldn't look, sound, feel, taste or smell like anything, so what would it be? Just an equation. For existence to exist it needs to be lived. I think it's fair to say that the universe can be described using mathematics alone. There's no reason to ask what gives form to those equations. We do that ourselves. We give it form and substance. Everything that we think of as real is purely a creation of our own minds. Whether we experience the same thing is something that we may never know. There are always multiple correct ways of looking at something. John Conways game of life shows that the rules needed to generate complex interactions can be extrem…
