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.

    As human, the main reason we study on the human sex positions is only for baby conception. Today, I want to stand in the prospective of evolution to have a look at the animals' sex positions. First, we have to know how many sex positions animals have on the earth. One is rear entry (doggie style), the other is face to face. 1, Rear entry In this position, male have the penetration into vagina behind the female. It is also called doggie style, because animals mostly have sex in this position as same as dog. Of course rear entry has lots of variation, such as the standing canine, spooning, the cuissade, and so on, but the core of these positions is penetration from the…

    Throughout life, there are many things that give one pause, things that have an achievable answer, but require one to think about certain things differently. when most people approach "evolution" or "natural selection" , etc. , one tends to "in error, of course", think of these changes as being orchestrated by the complete "organism", per se. One also tends to "believe" these changes are done with only basic "instinct" and "chemical reactions/processes", etc.. But if one really approaches the "process" of actually re-coding the DNA to produce an "offspring" that "has a good chance" of dealing with the said "instance" that caused these changes or change to be initi…

  4. Well now our earth is doing all kinds of crazy shenanigans like having a hole in our ozone, which will end up hurting us. We can sustain life on this planet forever. So are we going to stay on this planet and go with it, or try to see what else the universe has to offer us? Living in space will ultimately be very hard on reproduction. a woman birthing a child for 9 months in 0 gravity doesn't sound like it will go very smoothly. So I don't think were going to one day just be able to say " hey lets go live in space " its something we must prepare for, and if we don't start soon it will never happen. step 1 - Living in space will give us almost no access to sunlight…

    Ozone is O3, a powerful oxidising agent. What is the cause of northern leaching. Why the southern hole, when over two thirds of humanity is in the northern hemisphere? It has been blamed on halogenated carbon compounds like freon, a refrigerant, which now attracts a tax like carbon tax for CO2 emissions. Yet carbon tetrachloride, once used extensively as a dry cleaning fluid, was also used in fire extinguishers, being non-combustible, and creating a heavy vapour to smother fires. That was until it became known that, with alcohol in the system, breathing the vapour caused instant fatal renal failure. These substances do not occur naturally, to my knowledge. Why are they bl…

  6. Albert Einstein (1879–1955): Zeit ist das, was man an der Uhr abliest. ''Time is what a clock measures.'' How Time Comes About I have found that there are two reasons why a sense of time may come about, a quantum field theory answer and a less fundamental answer lying within biological systems. The first quantum field theory principle which allows time to exist can be thought of the precurser for all systems, even those which have no biology to act as clocks. There are for this discussion over several topics for time - each unique and different to the next, some may exist within the context of science and others which do not. We will quickly …

    Hi all, Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question but I need some help. I'm writing a feature on whether certain videogame scenarios are realistic or not and I specifically need help with a famous scene taken from Call Of Duty 4: Here, you see a helicopter that gets caught in a nuclear blast with the pilot then crawling out of the wreckage and dying shortly afterwards. Due to my own ignorance of the subject and that events are naturally exaggerated for the sake of a videogame, I honestly have no idea how realistic this scenario is. So my questions are as follows: 1) Would the radiation from a nuclear blast kill that quickly when …

    A Theory On Causality A time machine allows you to traverse time not dimensions therefore your machine could not travel to parallel dimensions. However you can navigate into a previously unfounded "dimension" by for example going into the past and killing your grandmother before your birth. "But that a paradox" you all cry ... No actually you have just created a parallel dimension where you exist because you came back through time... Therefore putting you in a different parallel dimension still with your time machine allowing you to hypothetically travel to any parallel universe. although to travel back you would need to interfere in your own personal timeline which …

  15. Started by HerbertSu,

    So I came across this theory about why the universe is expanding and I wanted to run it by people to see what they think about it. According the the Vacuum Bag Theory, our universe is expanding because there is a gargantuan sized white hole somewhere in space (or maybe there's a bunch of them). As we all know, white holes are just the opposite ends of a black hole. Now the black hole that is on the other end of the white hole has run out of matter to suck through and now there's nothing left to suck but the very fabric of space-time and that is why our universe is still expanding. Just a theory, tell me what you think!

    Time and the twin paradox by Alan McDougall I was banned recently from a forum by putting this post under cosmology, maybe they had a point but I see nothing wrong in postion it here! Nothing is really as it seems to us and all things are subjective to the observer. Everything is relative to each person from the viewpoint. Comparative readings, of two almost unimaginably accurate precision atomic clocks located on fast moving spacecraft and airplanes and on earth, have detected this strange skewing of time and proved Einstein’s theory of relativity to be fact. Stop all the clocks in the universe and movement will continue unaffected. Stop all movement …

Thus, the absolutely smallest indivisible particle in our universe’s quantum world, might make up separate tiny infinitesimal finite universes, that are the bricks or building blocks of our much larger universe There could be an infinite number of these infinitesimal universes, going ever downwards creating smaller and smaller universes, to infinity. Our universe could be likewise a tiny quantum building brick or block of a much larger universe ours. Never consolidating into one single final mega- uni…

  19. I have no idea what to make of the recent rumors that strange sounds are being heard all over the world. I did see one professional recently saying that such sounds are quite normal and is probably caused by electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere from things like the aurora belt... If the following video has any truth behind it, I must say the sounds are very creepy. It almost reminds me of the sounds the tripods made in the film ''The War of the Worlds''. Ok so what would everyone's conclusion be... worldwide hoax? I didn't know whether to post this in speculations. I certainly can't prove anything here today, I am just reporting on it.

    This theory is similar to the particle theory. How to give a mass to the particle? There is a field in the space. The field property is similar to the electric orbit in the atom. When Particles are in this field, they have a mass. When the particles increase their speed , it is required a force depending on the field effect to the particle. F=ma m is a interaction parameter(particle mass) between the field and a particle when we change the velocity. The field has no drag. When a particle has 0 mass, like a light, it has a speed C. *** At the straight line movement High velocity --- high straight line movement orbit in the space Low velo…

    Looking Backward into the Future I get totally exasperated at both Science and Theist’s alike for providing such a dichotomy between the two sides of this forum as to who is right or wrong in what the other believes? But as humans; we will likely be extinct long before we come up with a solution to the answer. However, regardless of which side of the plate you swing from, the universe didn’t just simply appear from nothingness. To exist as science theorizes, it still demands a supreme entity of some sort to kick off the show. But what would this absolute power be? Scientist are straight forward in their stance of providing and proving theories. Many use this ratio…
