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.

    The origin of gravitation zheng sheng ming(郑胜明) Abstract In the natural world, people have discovered four kinds of forces: the electromagnetic force, the gravitation, the weak force, and the strong force.Although the gravitation has been discovered more than three hundred years, its mechanism of origin is unclear until today. While investigating the origin of gravitation, I discovered that the moving photons produce gravitation. This discovery reveals the origin of gravitation. Meanwhile my discovery indicated that light interference fringes are produced by the gravitation which is created by moving photons. In other words, my discovery…

  2. Hi: "Mental Salmonellela" is a hypothetical disease that only affects all parts of the brain that constitute the psyche. All non-psychological parts of the brain are totally-unaffected. Here is what happens in "mental salmonella": Multicellular-units consisting of one cell of each and every serovar of each and every subspecies of each and every species of the bacterial Genus of Salmonella enter the patient's brain. Following such entrance, these units then multiply until there are enough of them to surround all the neurons in the patient's psyche. Following this, each and every cell of each and every serovar of each and every subspecies of each and every speci…

  4. Hello, and thanks for responding to my plea...LOL I am hoping I placed the image of the Schrödinger equation spin 1/2 on here and that you may see it, if not I am going to type it here. This is a link to the area of interest : http://en.wikipedia....iki/Spin-%C2%BD I have often wondered if these numbers of 1 and 2 , could infact be represented by other variables ie [matrx A] [matrix B] as A=1 and B=2 But before I dive into this, could any professional scientist here tell me if these numbers of 1 and 2 are just as simple as this with no other units added to them??? This may sound like a weird question, but their is a reason for this... S = the…

    could it be said to break the speed of light you must 1st break the speed of sound well here is the problem when the sound barrier is broken a sonic boom is produced this acts like natures net keeping sold objects from reaching light speed the problem i think can be solved by thinking of natures net as a river and a rod-ship as a fish when a fish jumps out of the river the sound gets filtered backwards under the water this is true of both sides to the suffuse now take this concept and apply it to dark matter take a thicker mass of dark matter and layer it with a less denser dark matter but remember the sonic sound barrier travels in many straight lines …

  6. Hi: If you were to suddenly become completely & eternally physically-invincible, along with being immortal as well an unable to feel any physical discomfort [such as pain, tickling, stickiness (that nasty sensation you get with you play with syrup), itching, nausea, fatigue, etc.] and you knew about it right after... ... what would you do? Besides the obvious, physical-invincibility includes not needing to eat, drink, sleep, or eliminate waste products as well as being able to contract/relax muscles without any exhaustion. A successful violation of the second-law-of-thermodynamics and many others. Here is what I would do: I would force society to …

    Two tuning fork with a other creating a cross perpendicular (bird eye view) upside down that connects both ends to a stem that is a ball- this ball is focal point of where the energy meets from ground and space. This in rotation creates energy by itself yet the problem is that power is needed to make it amplify. So, place this in a structure like a building like an antenna to receive transmited energy by via satalite orbit in kentic energy harnessed to a similar transmission of energy to the earth to these antenna with the technology that already exist such as telecom satalites. In addition to this is the rotation of the earth that contributes to the energy being harnesse…

  9. Consciousness And Particle Distinguishablity. Since it is not possible for particle distinguishablity, then how does science understand the nature of the human mind? We all know that the human body including the mind itself is made of electrical responses, some even governed by the rules and laws of the famed "Pauli Exclusion Principle." It is fact that two people cannot penetrate each other, unless circumstances are made for such. In this case the act of sex, personal physical attacks and other grotesqueness of human evolution. However, within the "general case" how would scientist "measure" what differentiates human "distinguishablity" via human conscio…

  11. What is it that motivates mankind to keep making up new stories and religions? They first start out pretty simple and basic moral value systems to follow however grow more sophisticated as time progresses. Should we be expecting more religions to prop up and better and more convincing ones to be created? How can we protect our society from people who are trying to deceive and control us? There will always be people who will try to control us in the banner of religion. This is dangerous!

  12. My name is Nathan Schmidt. I'm a computer science masters student in Idaho, USA. Almost exactly one year ago, I had an idea. This idea involved fractal geometry, recursively iterated functions, the golden ratio, and the Fibonacci sequence, and cyclic time (which, when fully developed down the road, would be consistent with the Mayan calendar) From that moment, I knew this was the most powerful idea I had ever imagined in my entire life, and based on my limited knowledge of string theory, I knew that these computer science concepts be applied directly to physics. So I took on this challenge and I began developing the concepts in precisely the same way one develops computer…

    I recently tested what I call a "string motor" I thought of myself. It consisted of a spool of fishing wire with short ferromagnetic beads of string (like those in dog tags) attached at 1" to 1/2" inch intervals along the string...I placed a strong group of magnets on the floor and fed the string into the magnets standing above it...It pulled the string to it's "end" (not the whole reel yet) with no difficulty thus spinning the reel and theoretically generating electricity. Questions: Can a spool of string be made simultaneously small (compact, light) enough but the string long enough to produce a usable output of energy generation? How strong does a magnet ne…

    Numerology Versus Science... Hello everyone, I would like to show using pure numbers that there is strong evidence that supports the hidden variables theory so spoken about in the science world in relation to The Quantum of Action. I will also show how this simple procedure can demonstrate a more accurate result, than the Schrödinger Equation itself, and will prove to find other hidden variables, within the structures of which scientist use today to measure Special Relativity among other interest. I have read the forum rules in which states that any claim must "show" scientific proof" so I chose the Schrödinger Equation replacing the structures of the function w…

  20. Hello All! I'm curious as to what you folks think the general nature of the Universe is like. Below I've listed some possible configurations. Pick your fave and if you so choose, explain why. If you have another that I didn't consider...Throw it in! Thanks. Position 1. If space were infinite there would be an infinite amount of space between particles. We do not observe this. If the amount of matter in the universe were infinite there would be no space between particles. We do not observe this either. Therefore the universe is not infinite. All that is is what we can be causally connected with, a large but finite amount of material that will continue…

  21. I did this with a friend of mine the other day and was also inspired by this thread. What are some ideas/speculations that you believe, despite not being mainstream on Science Forums (please compare to SFN, only!). What's your favorite contrarian claim, that you actually believe? I'll go first 1) Cryonics is probably a good idea 2) friendly AI/ technological singularity/ transhumanism is a real possibility 3) using Bayesian analytical methods in everyday life 4) libertarian-ish political philosophy

    Is it plausible that humans have evolved to alternate between monogamy and an effective polygonous system? Recent research seems to me to be building toward an association of schizotypal 'disorders' and autism with sexual selection, either of which would potentially be detrimental under feedback loop conditions. Monogamy would tend to fix autism spectrum traits in a population, which traits have been suggested to involve low mating effort and high paternal investment, whereas effective polygyny would tend to fix schizotypal traits, which conversely have been suggested to involve high mating effort and low paternal investment. There seems to be a trade off in …

    I was trying to follow a post about gravity and magnetism that was just too technical for me and wondered if someone might have an idea about this question. How can an almost non-ferris asteroid such as Ida have a moon? It's must be either one of two things, gravity or magnetism. Considering where the asteroid belt is located and the complexity of its formation, it strains my mind that it can even exist. Took this link from the net.

  24. In the Gravitational Redshift process, a photon's wavelength is stretched and energy is lost by Gravitational Time Dilation, where time slowed for the photon and stretched or redshifted it's wavelength. This slowing of time would mean an expansion or stretching of space, if I'm not mistaken. Couldn't the redshift in photons due to the expansion of the universe, actually be the cause of the expansion, and not a result of the expansion, by the same processes in the Gravitational Redshift process? In other words, couldn't the energy lost by photons in our universe, due to gravitational time dilation and the consequent stretching of space, be the source of Dark Energy…

  25. Interesting; Here is an excerpt from a piece I wrote five years ago. I seem to have a arrived at a similar notion from a different point of view (e.g. why speed of light remains the same regardless of what angle one is measuring it from...), it actually occured to me a number of years before I wrote the piece itself. You can jump to the last two paragraphs if you don't want the details of how I got there. "4. Our understanding of time is from past to future. We usually think time 'goes by', 'flows', 'flies' in a certain direction. But here is a little problem; why don't we notice/feel the other spatial dimensions X, Y, Z 'pass by' from one direction to the o…
