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.

    Hello Everybody, I would start by asking a simpe question, Is our Physics wrong? if So, then the whole of science is wrong too? Does any one of you think the same, then please share your views? I seriously believe that we have missed something very crucial in our understanding of nature, and its in particular related to our study of energy which is incomplete according to me. Our current science is built on the foundations of classical physics. Is it going to crumble any time soon? There are many inconsistencies and anomalies in current physics. I have discovered it myself. Has any one of you discovered the same, if so, kindly advise. To give you a simple idea, I…

    I thought that science was all about religion. ~99% of people wish that physics could be understood ~1% of people believe that expressing their suspicions and risking looking like a fool is worth it if it inspires somebody. Educated individuals don`t seem to believe that they can risk doing so-which is a pity really because then we`re stuck. I would like to believe that there was chronic 'Not being able to see the wood for the trees' syndrome in the academic community and that one revelation would make everything simple,predictable and understandable again- but that is a belief- probably one shared by a lot of people. I would like to believe that a theory wil…

  3. Even if alien life did exist in other galaxies, because information about these galaxies takes thousands of light years to reach us, even if there are other civilizations as advanced as we are, it would be thousands of years before we could see the evolution of their underwater life. In fact, the universe could be populated with intelligent life in every galaxy, sending out radio signals, but by the time we get them our sun will have undergone a super-nova.

    I created a website for a new theory on the Big Bang. I would like to know what you think of this theory. It's just a theory, no proof. The heart of my theory is this: the force between two particles is inversely propotional to the distance between them. As the distance between two of the smallest particle in the universe becomes increasingly small the force becomes increasingly large and will tend to approach infinity. This is the first step of a series of steps that could have caused the big bang. The information of this first step comes from a BBC documentary (link and clear instructions of where to look included on the mentioned website). The rest of the theory is…

    the galilean constant for harmonic motion is a special mathematical case.it is not a universal constant. test the inverse square law. the archimedes principle and the helium 2 effect are gravity effects. "moment of inertia is a static for an axis and for a rigid body. magnetism is a construction of charge, not a special force or component. newton's laws are valid only for perfect (high) transmission. the faradian force (motor) couples charge and mass. the critical angle is a result of atomic orientation. there is no such thing as relativity. the solar spectrum is not a god given distribution. it is most likely cumulative radia…

  7. About 10 years ago, I came up with a theory that got rejected from every theoretical physics journal that exists, and I got shrugged off from every Theoretical Physics professor that I could contact. Nobody has every agreed to even hear the theory. So I recently posted a description of it on YouTube. Maybe someone can look at it and tell me why people are so against hearing new theories. Part 1. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=997N_QRUCG4 Please start the video at 6:40 minutes, that way you can skip the clumsy introduction and me just getting my bearings straight. Part 2 answers a few questions that I got so far from my Father. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=…

    I posted this in the physics section, but it probably fits here better. I would like to post a few questions and offer a thought experiment or two. I do not have a background in these fields, but I enjoy reading and watching science shows. First, there is widespread agreement on the Big Bang Theory and the age of the universe The age of the universe is largely based upon the residual microwave radiation that is thought to be the oldest observable portion of our universe. We are surrounded by this radiation and it is the same in all directions. First question. In some respects, that seems to put us at the center of the universe. We can see the same distance…

    Although we can treat any object we lift as a blob and say that the planet acts on the blob with an equal and opposite force to the one we exert, let's define our blob a bit more precisely. Let's say we have 1 gram atom of Gold. This is the relative atomic weight of gold in grams. Let's call that weight x so here so far we have mg gold=x. Let's take the weight of the earth as X. So we have Mg earth as X. So in terms of equal and opposite force we have x=X. But since 1 gram atom of gold equals (N) atoms of gold or Avogadro's number. We have the resistance of (N) atoms of gold equal to the resistance of all the atoms in the Earth. Where it appears to me that the resi…

    How does it work? From what i understand it still uses the 2nd law of thermodynamics? I can see how it being colder would reduce the half-life and how the "energy" will not dissipate as fast because the molecules are closer together. But wouldn't it take more energy to produce enough cold air sinking to turn a turbine?

    THE ZERO THEOREM, i.e you would agree with me that our mathematical system operates with the presupposition that at dt=0 nothing exist. But the truth is that given absolute relativity, and the fact that dt is strictly dependent on gravitation (twin paradox and all of einstein's codswallop), outside, and far from, earth, somewhere, there exist manifold variation of gravitational force and its effect on time space (though its space geometry and complex space geometry remains the same - somehow!). Adding all of this up, the zero theorem is simply saying that at earths dt=o, there exist, somewhere, where dt is not equal to zero. Then all our mathematical zeros becomes arbitra…

    E=mc^2 Mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. And we know from observation of an object exploding that there is less mass after a release of energy. From this can we assume mass is stored energy? Or is mass transformed from this abstract substance into another abstract substance? Are they equal in value or two forces interacting? Before you respond let me ask you a few off topic questions. what do the curvature of a circle, the parallels of a right triangle, and many other observations of existence have in common? How do they differ from Euler's identity? E=mc^2 expanded or the theory of movement. relativit…

  18. If Higgs field really exists, we can imagine these Universes. Super Higgs field universe It contains particles which have a speed above C(the speed of light). It has a field that determines the property of other element particles, which have very high speed and not interacted with Higgs field. Twin Higgs field universe It contains particles which have a speed within or similar than C. It has a field that determines the property of other element particles not interacted with Higgs field. Above element particles have not found yet. But during LHC experiment, much energy is disappeared to somewhere.

Hi All, Recently I came across Ron Pearson's theory about physics of survival.He reject Big Bang,General relativity...actually I'll copy and post it from the link: "Pearson’s theory is rather obscure and convoluted to read, as evidenced by the fact that his theory has been rejected by most of the scientific community; throwing out benchmarks of physics, such as constant speed of light, relativity, the cosmological constant, etc., and instead utilizing the invention of numerous types of hypothetical energies, e.g. 'positive and negative primaries', 'breeded energies', etc., said to existed and interacted at the start of the universe, along with other mathematical cont…

  20. Emotions Have aided animals in their survival. Anger will give an animal the courage to fight. Fear will keep the animal out of harms way. Greed will make the animal strive to sustain ones life. Love will make the animal find companionship and work together to sustain life for each other. Emotions have played a major role in our survival. How exactly we came to evolve them. what came first the chicken or the egg? I don't want to argue this. If you think emotions haven't aided survival, I will respectively listen to your argument. Side Note - I think were way more likely to survive loving each-other than we are hating each-other.

    I'm writing for a sci-fi comic, and we'd prefer to be reasonably scientific, so I and a friend of mine decided to run some stuff by you folks who know what you're talking about. A few of our aliens are (roughly) humanoid insectoids. As a rule, insectoids don't get above a certain size in an Earthlike atmosphere because they would need extremely strong winds and/or very high concentrations of oxygen to breathe. Any suggestions as to how a very large insectoid might evolve to breathe Earthlike air (with reasonable accommodations like an artificial respirator, that isn't too unsightly?) One hypothetical creature in our universe is a VERY large moth that lives on a …

    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…

  25. 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…
