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.

After discussing a lot in another thread, I wanted to post my POV about the metric expansion of space. Here below a sketch of what I think is happening: in short, when the metric of space is doubled, time doesn't change. Here we are: Leonardo's vitruvian man on the right is double in scale relative to the left one. If both are observers, they observe light travelling at constant velocity C, each one in their own metric. Both are observing the same thing, there is no absolute reference that says the left man is correct while the other is wrong. Both must be correct. So light is travelling at the same apparent velocity as observed locally by each one …

The experiment only seems to make sense if the electron is collected by the electron gun from the detector plate But in reality there is no electron just a path that has been made

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_thinkers_in_science#2001.E2.80.93today_.2821st_century.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslim_scientists Why are there so many religious scientists/doctors? What makes these people immune to intellectual criticism from the scientific atheist community? Furthermore, if it's good enough for these brainiacs why are there so many anti-religious bigots in the world? Would you ever consider changing your stance in whatever your current spiritual belief system is now? Do you expect religion to ever disappear from the world? If so, when? Also, in your opinion, what is the correlation between religiosi…

In this video, Krauss, having the desire to be the first to know how the universe ends, describes what the universe will look like to a Milky Way civilization many billions of years in the future. He says that since the universe will be expanding at an accelerated rate, eventually everything outside the Milkyway will be out of sight. I disagree on general princple. It will just look a whole lot redder. Like the radio waves we view as the cosmic background radiation. And although this might mean they are not "visible", being of such long wavelength as to be out of a humans visible light spectrum, the waves will certainly not be invisible to science, as he project…

I dream of one day owning an orchard like my great grandmother once did. I am completely interested in growing optimally organic and pure produce. I know the government is and has been spraying chemicals into the atmosphere, not 100% sure why, but that is beside the point, does anyone have any information about parts of the US that have not been affected by this, if any? I am trying to find locations with the cleanest soil, atmosphere and water in order to truly produce chemical free plants.

From this http://tap.iop.org/astronomy/astrophysics/702/file_47550.doc page 8 here below:(red rectangle mine) In the rectangle something that made me rise my eyebrows: the waves have covered a distance of v+c ??? Explained after that (Speed = distance/time and time = 1 second) so v+c happened in one sec, thus O.K. in one second v+c represents a distance and not a speed. O.K. but still... The waves have covered a distance of v+c in 1 sec ??? Although we are apparently observing the photons coming at us a velocity c, doesn't that mean that the waves have travelled at speed faster than c?

It is somehow evident that any cosmological model must end up with the reality that we are observing around us right now. So, if we begin to tell the history of the Universe backwards, we can safely begin with our today's observations. Observation (and Theory) tells us that the Universe is expanding. But not everywhere: expansion takes place between galaxy clusters because galaxy clusters themselves are gravitationally bound. There is no expansion between galaxies, nor between stars in galaxies. Only between galaxy clusters. So, going backward in time, there must have been a moment when galaxy clusters were closer than what they are today. Maybe a moment o…

It is just like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle since the individual cognition is the minimum unit in the group cognition process. If we want to know how an individual person thinks, we may suffer some difficulties in accuracy. The more accuracy we want to reach, the more error we will get. Therefore I think the individual behavior is unpredictable.

Reason for metastable state discovered - Establishing causality in nature again - Very seldom one stumbled in the desert over a diamond. Ifyou search the internet ones find sometimes very interesting thoughts. There is a theory for a new law of physics for everybody interested in. It seems Einstein was right to say: "God doesn't play dice." See attached file METASTABILITY.pdf

One wonders if it would be possible to use cloud seeding techniques out at sea to dissipate or at least reduce the destructive power of a hurricane. One source of information on cloud seeding is this article: http://www.lightwatcher.com/chemtrails/cloud_seeding.html If the clouds were seeded early enough over the ocean, would the hurricane even form?

Hello, I'm from China. I had constructed four differential equations that can describe the cognitive process. We can obtain the personal development steps from the calculation of these equations that is consistent with the Piaget's children development theory. The most significant of these equations is that we can use it to solve the problems of the group cognitive problems. I think these solutions can give us some answers why London or east India riots happened. However, I don't know how to publish my work in English journal since English is not my mother language, so I decide to post it here to share with somebody who can understand my equations.

I got an idea! Yes another one. Could we do history here at SF? In means of collaboration (on the Thing)? Here is very educated and smart people. Obviously many of you likes speculations Could we create a private section here for the collaboration? Everybody capable of distributing (math, knowledge, hardware resources, experiments, articles and so on) is welcome. I'm serious here. Only open mind is required.

Are Relativistic Resistances Misunderstood? Preface It requires more and more energy to reach diminishing speed increment. It has never been proven that resistance against motion only applies during the acceleration period. This theory claims that resistance also happens by constant speed. We will refer to this as Relativistic Resistance (Hereafter "RR"). Thinking of RR as a reversible process will solve all known kinematic orbit and trajectory anomalies and mysteries, - as follows; 1.) The Flyby Anomalies. 2.) The cause of the Pioneer Anomalies. 3.) The stars continue to be dragged into the galaxies' black holes. *) note1 …

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. Org…

Fig1 Supernovae that exceed Oppenheimer limit (forming of black hole) gestate new universes. Fig2 The topology among universe and multiverse are probably similar to galaxies. The above figures were from the 28th International Astronomical Union General Assembly in Beijing. "Galactic Alignment", also in the same meaning "One Course Similar to gestating new universe" imply one kind of fundamental event——supernovae in Mayan words.

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.
