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.

    History anddescription of the problem Wikipedia: "In1932, Jan Hendrik Oort was the first to discover that the stars in thearms of a spiral galaxy (the Milky Way in thiscase) moved faster than expected when a mass distribution based upon the visible matter is assumed. "Although dark matter is the most popular theory to explain the various astronomical observations of galaxies and galaxy clusters, there has been no direct observational evidence of dark matter." So, how would Newton explain this Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy? Newton hadalready gave the answer:Wikipedia: "Object's orbit in the space is mainly influenced by the gravitational pull of ne…

    John D. Boswell had an epic idea, but the universe installed it into him. I want to help him spread the Symphony of Science for the same he reason he invented it. I want the world to realize how important they are, and, more importantly, how to act upon that new found empowerment. This is a link to one of his videos, and the others are just as well done. http://www.youtube.c...ZGINaRUEkU&NR=1 The Scientific Revolution is among us... 1927 = 2.000.000.000 humans on the surface, 2012 = 7.000.000.000... the time is NOW!!!!

  4. Started by paradigm,

    There is a new Physics Paradigm, a Paradigm of Types, which is presented in an essay titled "The Materialist and Infinite Universe beyond the Abstractionist Paradigm of Physics". It can be located by putting the title into a search engine on your computer. A central aspect of this new Paradigm is that all attraction, including that of gravity, is caused by the absorption of emission. Also, the nuclear fusion process which leads to the construction of stars and planets is seen as a product of the absorption of emission within the context of the increasing density of impacting emission. The Paradigm is both descriptive and predictive in terms of the possible types …

  5. Started by Just Some Guy,

    I apologize if this doesn't belong here, first time posting on this board (or most any for that matter). I enjoy reading books and articles about physics and quantum physics, and I often read the ones that leave the math out and explain the concepts. However, for this question I have, I think might need to ask those who know the math: What would happen to the commonly held laws of physics if we treated everything unobservable as nonexistant?

  6. Started by IsaacAsimov,

    I would like to discuss numerology, which is the study of numbers in everyday life. You can assign a different number to every letter of the alphabet, so a=1, b=2, c=3, ... ,z=26. You could add up the number for each letter in a word, so the word 'rat' would be r=18, since it is the 18th letter of the alphabet, a=1, since it is the 1st letter of the alphabet, and t=20, since it is the 20th letter of the alphabet. 18+1+20=39, so 'rat' would equal 39. You could do the same for other words. A different numerology method would be to accept every prime number as good, and since every composite number is a product of factors of prime numbers, every composite number …

  7. Currently we know 4 dimensions (3 spatial X-Y-Z and 1 Temporary ) in our Universe. I wonder what are the requirements to be met by a new dimension to be considered as such. According to string theory or M theory, there are at least 10 or 11 dimensions in the universe. In this thread I would like to discuss which might be these new dimensions, but should first be clear what are the requirements to be a New Dimension. And also if this dimension is dependent or independent of the other dimensions.

    Particle physicists don't take into account the existence of consciousness in universe.This is a flaw. I think consciousness has to be included in any mathematical model of origin of universe. I put forward the hypothesis that Singularity/Cosmic egg is not only infinitly hot,infinitly dense & infinitesimally small entity but it is also A conscious entity. What are your thoughts on this? P.s this is my first post.

  12. How plausible is the idea of human female pheromones (airborne or otherwise) mitigating the testosterone levels and/or testosterone action of the men they live with? I'm just paranoid living with four other females with only one brother and a male cat. Are they (the women) releasing some type of pheromone that inhibits testosterone levels and/or action which prevents me from realizing the full potential of masculinity coded for in my genotype. Thanks for entertaining my inquiries.

  13. x' is a variable. Specifically, Einstein is saying that there is a function x'(x, y, z, t), and it turns out that you can determine x, y, z, and t from x'(x, y, z, t), y, z, and t - so as tau is a function of x, y, z, and t, tau can be determined from x', y, z, and t.------ Swansont Ph.D Physics Please read the article of Albert Einstein 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving bodies' and discuss the discovery by Swansont which even Einstein did not know.

    Hi, I'm not really sure where to begin with this but here it goes. I would firstly like to say that I'm only writing this for corrections and also just to share. I may argue some corrections, simply because it helps me find out more about what I need to know and it works better in my system of "replacing" knowledge. I'm pretty sure it will all sound ridiculous but there we go. This crossed my mind a while ago and I've been thinking about it in my spare time since. The equations are extremely simple too! The way I see it, it explains quantum mechanics and general relativity, perhaps along with the Higgs field. It is simple but difficult to understand which is why I lo…

    My take on time dimensions is one of ratios. It is inreference to Albert Einstein description of the fourth dimension. The fourthdimension can be seen as length width or depth interchanging into the 4thdimension of space or the dimension of time. Pondering on this made me come upwith my own very similar analogy I like to think of the fourth dimension as amovie real that has been taken off of its spindle and stretched from one end tothe next. Now imagine that rather than that film being on 2d film paper it is3d holograph. Now unlike the 3 dimensions that we perceive in everyday life wecan look ahead at the ending of the film racing along the time axis of the filmskipping t…

Our Universe (known so far) cover scales or zones (bands, levels, spectra, bands, ...)from 10 exp -35 (length or Planck scale) to 10 exp +27 meters (which is longer than is considered is Our Universe). This new M-Dimension of the Global Universe give us a compound or divided into different zones (bands, levels, spectra, bands, ...) that form the different scales of the universe. And in each of these scales would apply its own laws of physics. This would link with Tegmark levels. We …

  24. We know that rest mass is a form of energy, and that matter holds huge quantities of energy locked away. However, it is not yet known how to release all this energy. I propose that the energy associated with rest mass is actually the potential gravitional energy of all the matter in the universe falling together. This could explain where rest mass comes from. If the two are directly related, it should even be possible to calculate the ammount of total mass that exists in the universe, using known constants of gravitational attraction and energies of rest mass. Think of it this way: There cannot be more than a certain limit on the total mass in the universe. If…

Link (part 1/5): (the forum says i'm not allowed to post links to all five parts, so just open the movie on youtube and go to the next part from there). It partially seems as your typical homeopathic bullshit speaking about "water memory" etc; However, I was unable to immediately dismiss it as such because the movie featured people who appear to be quite prominent scientists; for example it features one prof. Eshel ben jacob, former president of Israeli physical society, appearing in this movie extensively. …
