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.

Below is a link concerning one website which proposes ten presently "unanswered questions" of the universe. Others may have different opinions concerning the top ten most important unanswered questions. This thread proposes that you ask whatever science questions that you think are still unanswered, but important. However questions such as, what is the cure for cancer? would probably not be more informative since I would probably give similar answers than what you might be able to read on-line -- where I would also get most of my mainstream answer. I am a theorist for more than 50 years now. My field of expertise is cosmology, an alternative model, but I have a broad…

My idea is that if the evolutionary theory is correct, and that their are planets that can support life, that the dominant species of those planets would be reptilian. The reason I say this is because scientists say that reptiles and dinosaurs were the most dominant on this planet before the mass extinction by the comet or volcanic eruption. If a different planet had went through the evolutionary steps as earth did, and didn't have a mass extinction, then reptiles would be the most dominant species. And since they would be the most dominant, that means they would have went through millions of years of evolution, so who really knows how these creatures can modify their bod…

I was thinking about what would it be like to see and what would happen if a really large body, like an mostly iron core asteroid hit the moon. First if the asteroid was in the few tens of miles range would it just be a fireworks show with nothing to worry about or would it be an earth shattering event? Would the debris impact the earth I guess is the question. Feel free to give your ideas but I also wonder if the debris cloud would orbit the moon like a ring or would it go immediately into orbit of the earth or impact the earth? Also if a really large object hit the moon, 750 miles in diameter, mostly iron, like a tiny mercury but with a thin rock / "ice" …

the answer to life, the universe and everything Gravity is the aether wind. To measure the drag and direction of the aether wind, stand on a scale and look up. given Gravity is a state of force. Force is inertial pressure differential. Space consists of weakly interactive massive quantum particles. Weakly interactive means they are not easy to measure. Massive means they are subject to gravity. before you unleash the hounds of dogma Name one observation of gravity or van der vvaal's or casimere or weak or any other force that is not consistent with inertial pressure differential. in the spirit of peace ron

I have two questions, first i want to know if there is anything else other than atoms that can fill up empty space, for example if i have an empty bag, with nothing in it, can it be filled with photons, electrons, or something else? second, if you have an empty bag, but there is a mechanical apparatus that expands the bag, what will the empty space be filled with?

dear friends, just a puzzle was disturbing my mind so i thought i should ask you guys. science (physics) says that time,space ,and matter including we are weaved togather ,and time is always running ,and gone time never comes back then here is my question time (the micro second which was with us at one point) was gone than, how come we remain in present and the universe also remains . where does the passed time elopes, at which dimension of the world ,or the time itself is speculation? if my question is foolish pls ignore

Given that local spacetime is flat, there should be no possible way to measure any curvature at a single point. With no curvature, there is no gravitation. If a mass can be a point mass, it would need observations or measurements of spacetime from multiple locations in order to determine any curvature and be affected by it (eg. gravitational attraction). The minimal spatial extent of a mass must include multiple spatial points of observation (as in a particle with size, or multiple point particles somehow combined and sharing information, or a single point particle making observations from different locations). Is this a sound argument?

As we in our current knowledge of science assume that time started after big bang( I am agreeable with big bang theory only that it is cyclical and time and again it starts as big bang and collects as big crunch. ) But I personally think that time never comes in cyclical terms as big bang and big crunch but it always remain there as i.e. Electric train passes through same route millions of time but the over head wire remains stationery ,just like that time always remains stable and big bang to big crunch cosmos passes through it , There can be no creations ,only changes happens,so if you say time started after ,big bang ,personally i don't believe in that because …

ok. me thinks it is a weasel me thinks it is a qweasd po asdfgh jk az b oiuytr all three contain the same amount of level 1 info or "statistical" information. me thinks it is a weasel . this contains level 2 information or "functional information". this is the only information that matters. a sender with knowledge of the code understands the recipient must also have knowledge of the code so they share the same "medium" if you will. life only cares about this "functional information" or lvl2 info. i cannot convey a message to someone using only lvl1 information. yes lvl1 information is necessary BUT it must be arranged in a fashion such t…

Because that is when an equivalent inertia-term disappears from the electromagnetic force equation in integral form, since photons are inertia-less and the speed of light is the inverse of the square root of the permeability and permitivity of space. Traveling at the speed of light, or faster, is no different than traveling at any speed. Relativity only applies to specific conditions.

just some interesting literature on the topic i understand this is sensitive to immunologists but oh well http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/22350041 this one is imo how you design a study to yield the conclusion you want....just found it interesting..... http://ebm.rsmjourna...228/6/660.short didnt realize they actually had peer reviewed literature like the one above... <link removed> ok...chart page 3......

Hi: Vaseline consists of a 100% pure petroleum ["petrolatum"] jelly. It is usually used on the lips to protect them from dryness and the painful redness caused by such dryness. Will eating this vaseline do any of the following?: 1. Suppress appetite [due to its greasy nature]? 2. Cause the consumer's kakaa to stink unusually badly [steatorrhea usually stinks badlier than other forms of kakaa]? I believe greasy substances tend to carry odors more efficiently than non-greasy substances. This is why most perfumes and other aromatic cosmetic products tend to have oily bases. As usual, however, I could be wrong. 3. Cause the barf, burps, and belches of the consum…

When normal matter orbits a body, and when its orbit is crowded, it tends to eventually collide with the body it is orbiting due to friction slowing it down until the radius of its orbit transects the orbited object's radius (supposing the orbited object were a sphere, like all large continuous celestial objects comprised of normal matter are). Friction relies on the electrostatic force. Atom's are mostly empty space, and are interact less by direct contact between their actual physical parts than by the magnetic field produced by their charged subatomic particles. Some particles, e.g. neutrinos, lack a charge. This means they rarely interact with anything beca…

What scientific evidence is there that consciousness is an active agent rather than just a brain epiphenomenon? I offered two sources of scientific study of consciousness awhile back in a discussion with the Cap'n. One was Lynne McTaggart's compilation of many different experiments edited into "The Intention Experiment." I cautioned that this body of experiments is not well accepted by "peer review" from, shall I say, hard core material scientists, like the physicists on this forum. Yet I find many of them very well done experiments confirming the effect of "consciousness" as "intention" in a wide variety of situations. I also mentioned "The Journal of Consci…

Protection of electricity distributionnetworks from the effects of solar wind. - generation of energy by fusion - alternative propulsion forinterplanetary flights. My name is Jozef Czobor. ActuallyI do not have any education in the field of theoretical physics, it is myhobby and I´ve been interested in theworld and its way of function from a physical point of view for many years.I do not have an education in this field and I consider it as an advantage becauseI can have a look at these problems from a different point ofview than a person who studied the theoretical physics, becasue he isprogrammed forward how to solve these problems. Moreover I know t…

EntropyA concept that is not Physical Quantity shufeng-zhang china Email: email removed We define heat engine efficiency η as: η= W/W1, that is, replacing Q1 in the original definition η=W/Q1 with W1, W still is the net work of the heat engine applied to the outside in one cycle, W1 is the work the heat engine applied to the outside in the cycle, then, we use Stirling cycle as the element reversible cycle , if ∮dQ/T =0 is tenable, we can prove ∮dW/T =0 and ∮dE/T =0. If the formula ∮dQ/T=0, ∮dW/T=0 and ∮dE/T=0 can really define new system state variables, it comes to the absurd result of such a definition. In fact, during the process of obtaining "entropy", ∑[(…

What if, and bear with me here, the reason that physics breaks down when you look at smaller particles, is because those particles do not represent the forces your trying to calculate. What I mean is, we know that the photon represents ElectroMagnetic energy (light waves) and were pretty sure there is a particle that represents gravity etc. it makes sense that when your looking at *other* particles on the same scale, they would not be affected by those laws of physics. For example, if we break apart an atom, splitting its gravity particles out of it and putting it back together without them (this is just an example), then we could not expect the particle to ha…

My simple experiments have proved that I am on right path. I was confussed with impulsive energy component of gravitational energy,but I latter realised that my Non-Perpetual Gravitational energy powered engine runs on concept of overcommable resistance and not on impulsive energy component. Hence I want to share the exact easy to understand proof example / Analogy of my engine. With reference to the sketch on: http://flic.kr/p/bycsbo Here is the analogous example of a very heavy weight red ball hanging,to explain a single cycle of the proposed gravity engine working principle. Energy is only supplied here to lift the ball upwards and recovered when ba…
