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.

remember that there is a relationship between mass, space, and gravity. The phenomena of space arrises from mass. The phenomena of mass arrises from the potential energy of gravitational force. "Space" is a very long wavelength type of energy, so long that the flux is imperceptible. The "vacuum" energy (responsible for radioactive decay) is more of a rogue wave phenomena. In the absence of space, matter would move infinitely fast, simultaneously occupying an entire linear path, which is the same effect that would be observed if the matter was without mass. Neutrinos have a much lower cross section interaction, so it is possible to exceed the speed of light because there i…

Imagine some simple particle, like an electron (say), which was excited along the "hyperspatial" dimension. It would "look like" a regular electron, in terms of charge & spin (say), but the extra energy pumped into the particle, to "pump it up" into its excited hyper-state, would mimic more mass. Thus, a "hyper-excited" electron, would look like a particle having charge -1, and spin 1/2.... but much more mass... to wit, it would look allot like a Muon (!!). Indeed, could not the whole Standard Model of Elementary Particles could be interpreted in terms of these "excited hyper-states", with the 2nd & 3rd "generations" of particles really representing the 2nd…

Some time ago there was a discussion on this topic which was derailed and locked. The following link provides definitive proof that dy/dx is in fact exactly a ratio: http://thenewcalculus.weebly.com/uploads/5/6/7/4/5674177/dydx_compared.pdf

We can't say gravity is produced from matter. We tend to view gravity as something local, when in fact it could be something non-local. For all we know, gravity may be a separate arrow of time opposing matter. Since we don't know the nature of gravity or how gravity works, the equations we use should be treated with a fair amount of objectivity in the analysis. To understand the action of gravity doesn't require any special mathematics (unless you're talking about specific densities of a planet or a star's interior), however a basic understanding of the Law of Inverse Square is required. It also helps to realize that specific gravity and specific density are synonymous. …

How can you raise something to the power of an imaginary number and get a real number? Every time I try to do it I get an error. Does it only work on a complex plane in some way? I mean I guess it get that it just happens, but, how does that actually work out?

NASA made some announcements regarding LENR/cold fusion. To my knowledge they haven't demonstrated anything. From what I have read they seem to be promoting the Widom Larsen theory which isn't accepted by the mainstream scientific community. Hope they don't embarrass themselves the way Utah did in 1989 ... http://coldfusion3.com/blog/nasa-publicly-reveals-lenr-research http://nickelenergy.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/chief-scientist-at-nasa-langley-acknowledges-andrea-rossi-e-cat/

I recently watched the documentary series "Through The Worm Hole with Morgan Freeman" in Science Discovery Channel. One interesting thing I found was the work of Dr.Michael Persinger and his God Helmet. If out of body experiences can be induced on people at request whenever we desire to have it then if in someway get to know those minute complex stimulations of the temporal lobes in the brain which induce the experience of a personal god then it will be proved beyond doubt that "Man created God" rather than the other way around. The point is people who claim that Man created God should back up their claim with an evidence showing that the experience of a personal god…

Hi all, Just contemplating the speed of light... If a photon travels in direction A and is forced to emit another photon also in direction A. Then from the point of veiw of the first photon, the second photon would accelerate away from it at c. Does that mean the second photon is now travelling at 2c?

This question is geared for those knowledgeable in esoteric astronomy..and or celestial mechanics. I have been experimenting with a function the predicts feature years in relation to earth and other celestial bodies in this case the planet Uranus and its precession cycles of seasons just like on earth. What it predicts is the Solstice Periods from earth in relation to other celestial body's relative movements in outer space. Yes I know, it uses pure numbers in space as dimensional analysis. I am wondering if anyone here has heard anything of signification to the earth year of 2018.. I have read some articles about metaphorical beliefs but would really like to …

Resistance ma be the key. You always run into the problem of resistance. Providing enough energy to power the energy machine from the energy machine. Just in speculation, would it be correct to assume that if you could harness the energy from resistance of a force to get your power, it could be perpetual? I heard somebody use the force of gravity as an example once. Not to say that gravity would be the force. Just speculating that if we could contain the resistance of a force, since resistance is constant, it perpetual. Let me know how wrong I am.

Matter-electro-magnetic-gravitational-light force = 1 thing the general 3 dimensional direction of buddy. But the thing is, buddy travels everywhere in the universe once per moment. So his spin is influenced most heavily by other buddies who are doing a 3d spin moderately similar to him. If he's spinning perty slow, he becomes matter and his influence is stronger on people closer by (gravity). If he get's spinning up a little too fast, he becomes a wave! It can be light, electric, magnetic, or even fusion! Anyways, now buddy is flying around again, when what do we see? A star, he attracts us for awhile, then we get going so fast, and we get so close, that our forces …

Tides majestic, and endlessly changing the earth, truly the evidence of eternal glory and hope for this great place we call home. I however am having great trouble finding the results of the research, Is it so, that when the tide recedes in the North it comes back in the south hemisphere? or Does, the tide come back in the Eastern coasts while receding in the western ones? (North and South vs. East and West) Thank you for your assistance and efforts, or even consideration to this mystical yet oh so discernible question. I truly believe this should be taught in school, 6th grade. With the Tides under consideration: It is largely excepted that…

The Higgs Particle One of the first things I thought when I heard of the Higgs particle was; why call it the God particle? With out actually looking for the answer there it was in a Wiki article. Being somewhat religious the name God particle tended to tweak my sensibilities. Upon finding out that the name came from the censorship of a very much somewhat irreverent term from an article, about the particle, well lets just say that my sensibilities’ also have a humorous side. Still, I prefer the name Higgs particle. I spend most of my time doing things I would prefer not to have to do. I would prefer to spend most of my time thinking about things that interest me, but peo…

Could it not be possible that the illusion of cosmic acceleration is caused by the lensing effects of an overwhelming gravitational pressure, permeating space and related to the CMBR? The answer, if you didn't already guess is "yes". I've assembled a work outlining the theory, providing some thought experiments as well as observational evidence (solution to existing scientific anomalies) and mathematics in support of this concept at http://lcgp.wordpress.com/ This is a work in progress. Comments would be most appreciated. READ IT FIRST THOUGH!!! “If one part in one million, million, million, were off during the inflationary period of the universe,…

It begins with the imparticle. The imparticle is invisible, having no distinct qualities, having no energy or value. Since we can't identify an imparticle, we have to imagine one. Together with an infinite number of imparticles, it constructs the world. Imparticles have no inherent qualities and can never be scrutinized or quantified in themselves. Since an imparticle has no value or distinct qualities, it is actually equal to every imparticle, an infinite amount, and it cannot be said to be distinct from any one of them. They are altogether interchangeable. Because imparticles have no distinction, they are forced to bond together, and because they have no v…

Earlier this morning I went on google looking for information concerning black holes, especially the one rotating, or resting at the center of our galaxy. I'm following the program just fine until I read that black holes are the work of insurmountable gravitational forces. I look up "insurmountable". Ok, got it! Then I recall reading that gravity is the weakest of the four forces. Now, I have to start all over?

While reading about theoretical particle physics (a few of these theories are currently under experimentation at the LHC), I came up with a possible explanation for the origin of the Big Bang (and a few other open questions as well). It's probably bogus—after all, I have precisely 0 post-highschool science credentials. Here's a synopsis of my line of thinking. · Cause and effect, as we typically think of them, aren't the original catalysts of the Big Bang because the Big Bang (effect) itself required a cause. This cause in turn implies a preceding effect that also required a cause. So, thinking of the Big Bang as the initial cause of the universe is a…

How does the theory of time not being linear exist? We can only experience time in one direction. which would mean time is linear, because we cannot go back in time (yet) any help on this question would be much appreciated as it is something that i have wondered for quite some time and have never really found a good place to ask it. Sorry if this question has already been asked feel free to delete it or whatever the common procedure is here.

Can we compare notes???? Can anyone send me 2 numbers of something you "know"? these can be anything in relation to time, gravity, even Lorentz transformations etc. I only need the numbers, not the explanation nor the technicals of what these numbers are and what they pertain too, for now at-least. This for examples can be the dirivitive of "anything" in science but would prefer this to be close to something dealing with c and or gravity.What I do is calculate past, present and future and return a sum in relation to precession. What I would like to see are "relative movements" in phases or precession, and "attempt only" to see if my function works with yo…

The four dimensional universe. Infinite fields require infinite expansion. Infintie expansion requires relative four dimensional space. Realities are seperated by acclerations in space time in this manner, the way I'm seeing today. LoL. Let's imagine an abstract four dimensional space for a moment, we see intersecting rays of an x,y, and z axis. We'll set the intersection to zero and start zooming in closer and closer and closer until we get so close that we see the lines don't really touch all the time and that this point is actually vibrating. In some perspective we see more of a sphere of the probability of zero. Within this spere of probability there is length …

This isn't so much speculation, I don't believe, as I know it to be fact. However, I am also aware that this is generally accepted as impossible. My aunt works at a hospital and when brought into discussion, was told that it was impossible; my College Bio teacher told me the same thing when I asked her about it. My grandmother's blood type was AB; she'd undergone numerous cancer treatments and had been in the hospital often enough that I think we'd know her blood type pretty well. All five of her children (three males, two of whom are twins, and two girls, if it matters), however, have O blood type. I can't necessarily vouch for four of them, but I know my mother most…

Hi, I've created a set of models that illustrate physics concepts such as spin, relativistic fields, dimensionless constants, quark models, and many others. Its a system for visualizing the standard model. I was hoping for some feedback. I would post them here, however there are so many images, i don't think it would work. Check it out. Thanks a lot.
