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.

Einstein was correct, God does not play dice. God plays billiards, and the Big Bang was his break.- C.M.T. The deepest questions can not be answered by science; Where did I come from? What powers existence? You see thee are two and only two answers, either our existence is based on a perpetual motion machine which violates the laws in our universe so there must be something forever bigger or there is a God, a conscious being. So either non-intelligent or intelligent. I like the smart way but that is just me being selfish, living forever in love...who wouldn't want that. I believe that I understand the universe in three dimensions, in which time, space and the p…

Faster-Than-Light Objects By: Grant Adams Think of someone throwing a baseball through the air, directly at you. You see the ball leave their hand and travel towards you. This is because the light waves from the ball when it is farthest away reach you first, then the light waves from a second later reach you a second later, and this continues until you get all the images of the ball traveling towards you. However, imagine the ball was traveling at twice the speed of light(with no outside forces acting upon it) and you were 8 light years away from the thrower. At point A, 8 light years away, light waves start racing towards you. They will take 8…

Didn't know where else to put it, so here it is. Dark energy is transformed into dark matter by light holes created at the start of the Universe (the remnants of the Big Bang). Every galaxy has at it's centre a light hole. Black holes created by the death of a star don't take away light matter. They transform dark matter into light matter (hydrogen) and light energy (gamma rays and whatnot) as long as they can, until they are swallowed by the light holes left from the Big Bang, so that more dark energy would be transformed into dark matter and so on. Redshift isn't caused by the expansion of the Universe, but by creation of light matter. Light matter can be trans…

Dear Ron, Hello and this is copyrighted material by me. Most people do think the Michelson and Morley experiment proves that there is no aether because there experiment shows no change in light energy/speed/time delay with respect to traveling through an Aether but they are all wrong and I will explain rationally why they are wrong. They are wrong because they assume that the Aether is external only. Remember, laws of physics have an overwhelming local component, almost as if they are "generated from within"... Remember the speed of light measured locally ( the object measuring the speed is by definition local) is always constant independent of the speed of the so…

Continuous Frictioned Motion Machine Free Energy Device Perpetual Motion Machine Over Utility Device This includes: 1. Ferrofluids 2. Capillaries 3. Wedge Magnets (This is a top down view. No gravity involved.) This idea, I think, is pretty self explanatory from the drawing. But for a longer (thought still simple) theoretical discussion please see www.continuousfrictionedmotionmachine.com Also, on You Tube, I've posted the building and working of this machine under "How to build a perpetual motion machine." The biggest question I think most people will have is "Will the ferrofluid drip?" You can actually see it drip on You Tube if you type in "…

From what i know about particle physics theory today is that electron is a point particle, but my friend from a trusted source shows that ultimaton is indeed an electron core. In the center of the ultimaton is nothing but singularity. Is this a pseudoscience?

I'm just curious; am I the only one who finds the World Trade Center bombing more than a little suspicious? Now I'm not some crazy conspiracy nut job, but I've always thought that the whole situation with 9/11 was suspicious to the extreme. First of all, the fact that in this day and age nobody realized what was going on with the planes until it was too late; even though the flight paths of every airplane are supposed to be carefully monitored, seems to be highly unlikely. Second, as I understand it, the planes hit the towers near the top, which means that the fire was "mostly" localized to the upper floors (and let's not forget that the sprinkler system in BOTH build…

Why 1) Light speed is constant. 2) We can not change it's speed. 3) Always moving. 4) It moves along strait line direction. 5) It has a particle property. 6) It has a wave property. 7) At the high energy, it's wave length becomes short, we can not change other property. Though light is absent in the vacuum, there is something fast moving with speed of light. Light =empty space property + energy *inanelux property ; vacuum light property, which is from Latin language. Current concept ; light is a special property, space is only a path to move. This new concept; Vacuum space, itself, has a light control property, light is one of the appearance of i…

why dont scientist know that a magnet is the oppersit of gravity and a simple magnet holds the power of free electricity and faster than light travel it seems like it will take humans at least 500 years at this rate thats if TNWO has its way

I was discussing the concept of drilling in space with some people and though I describe it as a "bone marrow sample" of the planets, others didn't seem to agree that it should be done. I was wondering what anyone here thought about that.

A man named Rob Bryanton has some great videos in the "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" series that explains one theory of how entangled particles transmit information instantaneously. Here's a link: Good Luck!

Gravity theory ruls. 1/ All neutrinos have a very slight reaction with all matter they pass through giving the matter a tiny push or pull in the direction the neutrino is traveling. This reaction is proportional to the mass of the matter. The greater the mass the bigger the reaction. 2/All neutrinos are very slightly weakened by this reaction with matter.Again the greater the mass of matter the more energy lost by neutrino. Example. I you have one solitary fe atom in deep space not close to any stars this atom will be bombarded by a vast quantity of neutrinos from all directions. They will effectively cancel out the push pull effect. I you have two…

Here's another shape that it can be in. Imagine a cube, of finite size, but mathematically 'connect' each face to its direct opposite. And it increases in size with time too. If you lived inside it and you went up through the top you would return through the bottom. It's a very interesting space, for translations it is perfectly symmetrical, but it is different in different directions, it has no less that seven different axis, three for the sides and four for the corner to opposite corner axis. Just what you need to represent certain aspects of physics.

Reconciling Karmic Theory - the Karmic Equation The law of karma is the ultimate controlling force of the universe. · All matter is governed by the law of karma. · All matter is derived from energy. · All forms of Energy are governed by the laws of physics. · The law of Karma must therefore conform to the laws of physics. · The laws of Physics do not segregate forms of energy into 'Good' energy and 'Evil' energy. · Thus Karma cannot recognize 'good' actions or 'evil' actions. Karma simply recognises and records actions. · Karma is the Accountant of the Universe, it does not judge, it simply keeps accurate records of the actions of all matter of the universe…

Warning Be prepared for some wild speculation. This is just an idea I had - a little tweak to string theory and the funny thing is, I started throwing what little I know about physics mysteries at it and it chewed them up and spit them out. Constructive feedback encouraged. Some mysteries of the universe that might be solved by the Higgs-Boson: 1 Quantum Gravity 2 Wave-Particle Duality 3 Particle Probability Distributions 4 Electron Shells 5 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle 6 Quantum Entanglement 7 Dark Energy 8 Dark Matter 9 Vacuum Catastrophe 10 The Casimir Effect Preamble What is a Higgs-Boson? In essence, a Higgs-Boson is a tiny particle that permeate…

I was browsing the Foundational Questions Institute when I came across this essay written by one Avtar Singh: http://fqxi.org/comm...rum/topic/1317/ The abstract for the paper reads: and the conclusion reads According to the author biography section Mr Singh has written a book "The Hidden Factor: an Approach for Resolving Paradoxes of Science, Cosmology and Universal Reality" Which I tracked down on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/1403393648 So is this guy some quack, as I suspect?

There are 2 ways of passing beyond the domain of practical certainty, and of looking into the vast range of possibility. One is by asking, 1. "What is knowledge? 2. What constitutes experience?" If we adopt this course we are plunged into a sea of speculation. Were it not that the highest faculties of the mind find therein so ample a range, we should return to the solid ground of facts, with simply a feeling of relief at escaping from so great a confusion and contradictoriness. ref" Charles Hinton 19C and his concept of space existing as 4 spatial dimensions. Nothing of time. Stated prior to Minkowski's claim that the 4th dimension was temporal time. Henceforth…

Hi everybody! I got an idea and now it's quite a nice theory. It is testable and it unifies all forces. Please read and comment! The theory is already sent to few scientists globally.

A body in motion distorts space. The faster the motion, the more distortion. This distortion (making the space around it non-Euclidian) is called gravity. All matter in our solar system is travelling at 600 kilometers a second, as part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The cumulative effect of the distortion of space around each particle on earth, say, results in the total gravitational field around the earth. It is not the mass of the earth that causes the gravitational field, it is the motion of that mass.

New poster here, thought this thread belonged here in Speculation. Can someone explain to me if this would or would not work? Basically, use the slingshot effect of planetary bodies to speed up several crafts that are attached to a stationary track in orbit around the earth, to generate power infinitely. Considering that each craft would be sped up to about 20,000 MPH or greater, this could generate a lot of power.
