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.

a matter can be reduced to atom and atom is reduced to electron, protron and neutron which are nothing but charges. if we link up all ideas from electron to matter then what is matter anyway? smallest charges accumulate o create atom and atoms accumulate to create matter. so the matter is nothing but charges. be it solid, liquid or gas, it is nothing but charges. what do you think?

I recently read about the fate of the Sun, and therefore the Earth, in 5billion years and began to wonder if humanity would survive. Of course in the meantime there are other things which could spell our extinction, such as the Moon leaving the influence of Earth's gravity, the Milky Way/Andromeda collision and much sooner; global warming. However, I imagined what exactly humans could do to survive the Sun's red giant phase, imagining we had survived these other problems. I was surprised and fascinated to come across a paper that actually looks into ideas about this very thing. I was mostly surprised because I wouldn't have expected science to begin thinking about suc…

NASA mission to planet mars creats a budget of $2.5 billion . its only return to american people is creation of 7000 jobs in 31 states. but is job creation the only objective of NASA space programme? what other benefits are there in the recent mars exploration? why america doesn't spend $2.5 billion to save life on planet earth instead of finding life on planet mars? besides there is a deficit of $1.327 trillion in US budget 2012 . is it good for america to spend $2.5 billion for nothing? some people may argue that mars exploration creates job but those job will be gone once the curiosity returns to earth. this is not a long term benefit at all. what other b…

Respected ladies & gentlemen, I would hereby request you all to consider this case as; 'an Ordinary man's attempt to convince the Extraordinary people', Please forgive me if I am wrong, considering me as 'a fool who tried to correct Albert Einstein, & failed miserably'. All my life I have admired Albert Einstein and continue to do so. He is the highest example of intellectual prowess. I am writing this discourse because; despite innumerous attempts to comprehend 'warping of Space', I haven't been able to convince it to myself, as I feel it is not rational. Kindly be sympathetic with me for making this humble attempt. My Account: Quote "The stat…

My 5 year old would think this is ridiculous but I can't let this go. I'm trying to calculate how long it would really take Yahweh to create the universe. Taking what data I could find and some nonsense from Genesis I figured maybe d = r * t. Fairly simple approach but It's all I can think of at this time. Standard measurements, miles and mph. What I'm doing is taking the circumference of the earth in miles: 24,901 miles(distance), 3 days = 72 hours(time) and X = rate. X ~ 346. So traveling at 346mph it would take about 72 hours to circle the earth. Of course the earth is too small for any type of realistic(hah) data so I'll use the sun as an average size of a star. …

If you look at this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics What do you think of it? Another day in the office? More handwaving? More dimensions? More everything? Or is it time to stop and do some re-thinking? Or do we even care? Everyday life consumes us very effectively so why bother? I get my money constantly and things are pretty much in equilibrium why rock the boat? We can even give some blind eye to minor cosmetic errors in science.

So light doesn't need a medium to travel on, that's all fine and dandy. Why does light look like it is traveling on something? The energy that causes waves in a body of water, does that energy need the water to travel on? No! it doesn't. It is just energy that happens to be traveling with water in its way. I'm wondering is it possible that their is something in lights way and that is why it travels in a wave? I'm probably wrong but before you tell me i'm wrong, tell me why light travels like a wave.

Yes, it's done with smoke and mirrors, but is it only an illusion happening inside another illusion? I also used the link to address another post that I thought still interesting. If that's wrong, then please delete it. http://www.youtube.com/embed/wChk5nY3Kzg

Everybody knows this experiment -> http://en.wikipedia....rley_experiment Problem with that experiment was thought direction of ether "wind". Ether "wind" happens from inside of Earth. Only at North Pole ether is moving towards Earth. So Fresnel's theory of almost stationary ether is still valid

So the larger the mass a particle has, the smaller its radius. If individual particles can't exist without being in higher energy states in a neutron star, yet the gravity is strong enough to overcome that and shrink a neutron star, couldn't the wave functions combine thus creating a single particle with such a high mass that it's radius is unbelievably small but not infinitely small while simultaneously solving the problem of where the matter goes when there's no higher energy level for it to go to due to gravity?

(Please Note that upon making this formula I have seen many other formulas that run along this measures everything in the universe) By Universal Code I mean the theory that the universe runs on 1 theory The theory is _TS__ It means time and space over physical relativity but since time is a measurement and doesn't really exist Every formula man knows this is what I came up with Why physical relativity because you can feel gravity, the energy, and see it...even black holes or there devouring something. Space which means universe. And that's my walk around the equation theory on what the universe runs on.

Natural selection, genetic drift, speciation, change in allele frequency over time , these mechanisms/processes generate NO new genetic information, on the contrary selection and speciation thin genetic variation. They have NOTHING to do with the alleged origin of all life on earth being a single organism BILLIONS of years ago other than university teachers INTENTIONALLY omitting that they are NOT sufficient for alleged process. There is no source of bulk amounts of NEW genetic information. Neofunctionalization for the most part is delusional (look at someone with trisomy). CF, PKU, sickle cell anemia- ONE base substitutions. Teachers INTENTIONALLY omit that sick…

Time is the degree of variation between two points in space. Below is the equation the information plugged into the equation will be the observation of the observer. Everything with time is in reference of now that is always the starting point. Second point can be history, Future or another object right now... This is the scientific explanation justified with an actual verifiable equation... If you actually take the time to plug in some numbers you will find that TIME = DISTANCE this remove light from the equation which is our current misunderstanding of everything. Time was the measurement of the motion of light across the linear plane. NOW IT IS... ___…

"HIV" is a myth. Thabo Mbeki knew it, he knew his people were/are being targeted so to speak. Kary Mullis has a good 18:32 interview on youtube about it. Beri beri, pellagra, scurvy, once upon a time these were infectious diseases. Peter Duesbergs 'Inventing the Aids virus' covers it. He was approached with a paper with a slot for him to sign saying Koch's postulates has been met for it. The guy was having dinner with the editor of the journal 'Nature' that evening and said the paper would be published within the week if he signed it. He didnt sign it.

I have come here for just one visit and just one purpose. To tell my story and share it with the world... What the people say about energy technology suppression at this link is true http://open.salon.co...addicted_to_oil and here is why I say this... A former colleague at the DoE sent me this link a few months ago http://peakoil.com/a...ring-regularly/ and then this one yesterday http://www.greenopti...ence#post_17430 This motivated me to write the following about something that I experienced in 2010. I chose this way of disclosure because I think it is the safest for my family and I. Like Tom Valone, the whistle blower from the U.S. Patent Office, I also wo…

Something I have always enjoyed looking at and pondering about ever since I was a child, was optical illusions. They captivated me, as if saying "What you see is different than how I look." They can seem to be doing all sorts of crazy things like motion, transforming, etc. After many years of thinking I have come to the conclusion that the reason optical illusions exist is because our brains are wired (through evolution) to perceive things they have encountered. Our brains are not developed enough to look at an optical illusion and see it as a 2-d object. It registers something close to a 3-d object and automatically labels it as such. Everything around us is perceiv…

So, I was sitting around after reading Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku (a must read for any scientist,) specifically the chapter on extraterrestrials. I was thinking: If the universe is infinite, there are an infinite number of worlds, stars, nebulae, etc. So, it's kind of like having a relatively easy equation in an infinite amount of time. It might take you a little bit of time, and a number of screw ups (screw ups: Saturn, Mars, Venus, etc.) until you get the answer (Earth.) Even if the equation of making a planet is nearly impossible, you will eventually solve it. So, you get one planet with life, or even one that supports life, and a quadrillion worlds that…

Light of moving radiator has other angle of spread than angle of reception if the radiator motion and the light motion are not at one line. If you observe a fast star then umbrella (covering prospective angle of spread, but not covering angle of the image) eclipse the image of the star.

Employing the formula for a dipole magnetic field, the field strength, at the surface, at earth's equator is: [math]B = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 c^2} \frac{m}{R_{\oplus}^3}[/math] [math]m = I A = \left( \mu R_{core} \omega \right) \left( \pi R_{core}^2 \right)[/math] where i have assumed, that the charge carriers generating the field, reside in earth's metallic core, near the surface of the same, in a toroidal belt about the equator of the same, carrying a charge per unit length of [math] \mu[/math] (see below). Ergo [math]B = \frac{\mu \omega}{4 \epsilon_0 c^2} \left( \frac{R_{core}}{R_{\oplus}} \right)^3[/math] Now, by simple integration, the voltage …

Gravity is symple stop over complicating.Matter pushes spacetime out the way and the amount of spacetime moved out of the way is how hard it tries to fill its natral state.This explanes black holes cause its the only times matter truley forces space-time completly.Galixies are barely comprenepel distant same is tru for atom when down the scale of its parts.Im sorry i dont have equasions for this its common sence but do the math this works
