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.

Plain English Physics 101-4 Excerpts from Published under new title Modified Monday, May 21, 2012 johnlawrencereed jr Excerpt on Newton: In any event, our problem did not begin with J.J. Thompson. Some 2000 years after the Ancient Greeks, Tycho Brahe's careful observations on the behavior of celestial planetary bodies and Kepler's subsequent careful analysis of those observations revealed that the symmetry is in time and space. The predictable solar time-space least action consistent symmetry was subsequently co-opted by Isaac N…

  2. If we consider the Global Universe as the total Universe. (infinite or finite). and we consider Our Universe like that Universe that we know (from 10 exp -35 to 10 exp +27 meters), I propose the idea that we can divide the Global Universe in various (infinite) power of 10 levels or spectra (see attached file). Like a RAINBOW or MATRYOSHKA DOLLS. These levels/spectra can be posives or negatives, and we can supose that aprox. every googol (10 exp 100) could be a very different Universe with its own science laws, waves, entities and possible living beings. The shape and appearance of Our and Global Universe is only a "virtual" or "apparent" Univers that we sap…

    Plain English Physics 101-5 Excerpts from: Published under new title Modified Friday, June 15, 2012 johnlawrencereed jr Excerpt on Avogadro's Number: I have defined mass as the conserved comparative resistance of non-uniform (and uniform) atoms in response to and as a consequence of a uniform attraction on all atoms (see Part 1, this publication). We get close to this when we measure amounts of atoms or molecules in moles as we optimize our chemical reactions. The relative atomic weight of an atom expressed in grams as weight [mg] using the periodic chart represents one mole of that element. Although we call this an atomic weight [mg] one mo…

    If we see space and time as generated by mass and energy, it is suggested to develop reduced physics, giving up the notions of space and time The article published now on a website has not passed the peer review of NATURE, but nevertheless it seems to be a very different and attractive way to tackle the question of a primary system. This approach could even reconcile scientists with recent development in minimal arts and allow for a modern definition of the term of transcendence. As neither the standard model nor the Big Bang model nor even the relativity theory with the cosmological constant are free of hypothetical assumptions mainly in form of interpreted constants…

    The quantum universe. About ten years ago, I understood how the universe works. My thoughts would destroy the current theoretical physics would also be beneficial for applied physics. And of course, beneficial to mankind. Can anyone advise a good physical magazine, best to contact a specific person who would be open to new ideas? I understand the universe at the quantum level, and I have answers to many questions! Now I just need a good manager. Thank you for your help.

  6. Could gravitation and time not exist in pure darkness??? If so then can derivative calculations really be a simple 180 degree "turn" mistaken for .5 c or simply 0 the initial start of the system? In this simple formula of mine, I have found that this may be the case: 1/ [1/ x + t] / 2 * x * t * phase cycle = 1 Just a note here: x + t = k of the metric, manifold or matrix. 1 means 1 second in mm/s The 2 is the squaring of x and t "inverted." Using this simple formula I have provided as an example set x = 12 and t = 6 = 2[.866] mm/s rather yet beta the electron. This find only applies to rotating celestial bodies and or anythi…

  9. Started by owl,

    This question has bugged me for a long time. Sunlight "pushes" against 'solar sails.' They call it "solar wind." Laser light "pushes" against the lasers which fire it. They call it laser recoil. Light trapped in a box of mirrors "pushes" against the inside of the box, giving it more static inertia as if it were added mass. Yet the classic thought-experimental spaceship traveling at a significant fraction of lightspeed can not "push" a light shining ahead any faster than its speed limit, 'c.' It seems that the ship must travel into the tail end of that light, absorbing the difference between its velocity and 'c.' And it seems that its momentum acts like…

    "Speed of light". It's kind of an antiquated phrase. Sure it's mathmaticaly sound but I think the phrase causes a lot of confusion. To find the speed of somthing you figure how much distance was traveled in a certain amount of time. But with light distance and time become variables defined by the light between two unique reference points, usually an observer and a the light source. For me to conceptualize Einsteins theory of relativity I had to find a different plane of thought. So I started tinking that the ray of light that exists between my eye and say a star ten thousand light years away was actually a defined one dimensional thread of relativity. A ray of distan…

  14. Started by michel123456,

    Time has been presented by some as a measure of change. So the question goes like this: can change happen without time? That is not a question about simultaneity (can a change happen in zero time), that's another question. The question is: if you take an event A and say it changes into an event B, do we need time for the change to happen? For example, in mathematics, one can take an equation and make it evolve in a full page of equations following a sequence that can go forward and backward. Isn't it an example of change without time?

  15. I'm not a big fan of Richard Dawkins since he is a total atheist, and me a whimpering agnostic. But I must give kudos to knowledge that is not biased, and only making a statement. 22 minutes in length, but well worth the time to watch. Is it phiosophical rhetoric, or does it ring a sense of truth?

  16. Started by Reaper,

    This thought actually came up to me when I was looking at some pictures of distant galaxies. What I was wondering is, given the incredible distances between galaxies, could it actually be possible to colonize other galaxies than our own? Even with Star Trek technology it could still take hundreds of thousands of years to actually reach another major galaxy. If wormholes, warp drive, etc. is possible then I could see intergalactic travel as feasible. But if FTL travel in any form isn't possible at all, then would it even possible to colonize other galaxies and spread all over the universe? For instance, colonization of the solar system shouldn't be that diff…

    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?

  20. 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 …

    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?

    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 …

  23. 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.
