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.

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?

To OP, it seems that it is custom here that when theory gets to it's limits then defenses kick in. Sad but true. "Respected" physicist won't take any risks with anything beyond the accepted "truth".

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.

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…

I am here to post my invention that stops counterfeit drugs market completely. Name of my invention is, 'SUN ON PPC' --- Split Unique Number On Product Protection Cover. Without unique identity numbers we cannot lead a single day of our life. Telephone, mobile, electric bill, water charges, various passes, tickets, hotel bills, facebook, internet, you mention something and in one way or other, unique identity number is attached to it. Unique identity number has become inseparable from our lives. My invention is SPLIT unique identity number. Unique identity number that is split in two parts and pasted on medicine strips and vials will stop the counterfeit dru…

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?

(I do not speak English but understand everything ) Common information about 1D reversible cellular automata 37R you can get in google. let's get started... Empty spacetime in 37R universe: Photons are particles which move as fast as possible and do not interact each other. Photons in 37R: Subatomic particles analogue are "rows". Two particles collision in 37R: Some other types of rows: Stable interlacement of two rows is 37R "atom": The next picture show collision between photon and atom. Atom has changed but has not lost stability. There you can see two particles which merge into atom. …

Check this out -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueshift#Gravitational_blueshift Singularity (in black holes) is just very, very, very dense "ether". Photons are compressed (created) near nucleus because of electron's movement.

I'm such a newbie. This only my second post on this site. So, my communications with the scientific-minded is very limited in time and depth. 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. I've come to these forums as a result of trying to find a better fit than I've had on other forums. I am counting on this community to read my stuff and perhaps point me to where I might fit in. I have been having mind's-eye like data-flows resulting from imagination and meditation practices for 30-years. They have excited me, scared me, revealed to me and I can induce them, red…

If I go public in MDPI I would need a five qualified peer reviewers to my theory. Do we have objective candidates here? I mean by objective that you can have any opinion on my work but it has to be reasonable. Actual theory is like only eight pages so it's not too much of a work. So fellows... I need five names and your email addresses (in PM). I think that I'm not allowed to offer any kind of reward for doing peer reviewing BUT the reward is got by other means (from involvement). I can info anonymous head count in this thread almost real-time. Lines are open! Aaa... arXiv is an other option! I think that I need only one person who can give endorsement for m…

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…

What would it feel like if something that's just happened were to get filed in our long term memory by mistake? If it's just happened then it's meant to be filed in our short term memory, but if it goes straight into our long term memory then it's going to feel like it's happened before.

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.
