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.

Think of quantum mechanics as well as light spectrums and cymatics and all matter for that... matter get it? Anyway the double slit experience suggests that when a practical is observed it acts differently then when not observed. To keep it short and I may even make a reel. What this life might actual be is probably not you all want. I created a thought into a pdf called in short the Cosmic Canvas explaining all energy and all of its manifestations. In long for curious reader... ''The Cosmic Canvas : Unravelling the Symphony of Energy, Art, and Spirituality'' and really really long kinda. 5000 word thought as a pdf... one of many to be created... Also. Hello …

Xiulin Ruan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, and his students came up with a white paint that reflects 98.1 percent of solar radiation. The white paint actually emits more infrared heat than it absorbs. For example, previous experiments showed this paint cooling a surface by 8 degrees Fahrenheit versus the surroundings under noon sunlight. At night, the ultra-white material can keep things 19 degrees Fahrenheit cooler. Wouldn't this functionally be a form of Maxwell's Demon?

Proposal: If I could bend (=modify) Newton’s (3) laws ((in)to) the way I want for a consistent continuum, I would deal (mostly) with averages e.g. for (inverse_)time, distance, speed, momentum (& its squared) & mass*Force. Disclaimer: (0. (Some people might think,) What goes up must come down. It’s called the 0th(=zero_th) law because he(=Newton) didN’T invent it. Joke aside. ..But (otherwise) here..) (To be consistent, & thus rebose.) Preparation: The (average_)distance da divided by the (average_)time ta is the average_speed va=da/ta. (I have to (repeatedly) say…

I do understand that most likely, it will not work, but it'll be fun to learn, I hope. I haven't worked out a lot of details or bugs yet, but here it is: Okay, we have two rotating masses of equal weight. Mass #1 is on one side, and mass #2 is on the opposite side at an equal distance, so there should be no oscillating. What connects them is a non-magnetic cylinder-shaped rod. Mass #1 is possibly made up of batteries, etc. that surround the rod. Mass #2 is made up of a bunch of somewhat skinny, ring electromagnets, and each one has a hole through the middle. The connecting rod goes through the magnet holes and is attached to the magnet that is furthest out. At an equ…

The singularity is a gravitational wave with no upwards limit in frequency. Consequently, we measure the age of the Universe to be 13.8 billion years, and also the past is infinite. This is the simple essence of wave-particle duality. We observe what appears to be a point in space, and any point in space we observe can be traced back to the original singularity. The point is what we conceive of in relation to our observation, and this is what we measure. The singularity is the objective reality underlying all observational experience.

What happens if, instead of considering the singularity as a "point", we consider it as a gravitational wave with no upwards limit to its frequency? In this understanding although the Universe appears to expand from a point, the expansion of the Universe and thus the progression of time is explained in terms of a pervasive gravitational wave in spacetime with no upwards or downwards limit to its frequency. At a certain frequency, this wave due to the limitations of human observation would be indistinguishable from a point, but nevertheless capable of increasing in frequency to no end. The singularity is a wave of ultra-high frequency that underlies all of s…

A recent paper states the real pseudoscience is exactly those unperceivable things named with 'dark'. Throwing something into the unknown part of reality for solving the theoretical problem is not the real rigorous science. This study argues that It is time, from a much more general view, to consider the common defects in the principle behind all the previous measure methods or physical laws summarized by the predecessors rather than keep adding new theories or new phenomena for amending the old cracks. Otherwise, the development of science will become bogged down in mud and also lead all people not to the real nature of reality but to a totally strange magic one. …

Hi, I believe that I have found proof that the universe is a mathematical construct generated using waves of Time. It's easier if you read my free online Google document outlining this discovery: Is the universe a Matrix? Please read with an open mind and please excuse me if I have posted this under the wrong section. I believe that I have found the mathematical blueprint for a Quark particle, and that this knowledge will unlock all the secrets to the universe. Here is the image for the Quark (see attached) Please read with an open mind. Thank you for your Time.

A theory of everything (TOE[1] or TOE/ToE), final theory, ultimate theory, unified field theory or master theory is a hypothetical, singular, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all aspects of the universe.[2]: 6 Finding a theory of everything is one of the major unsolved problems in physics.[3] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything Does this forum have a member/members that feel competent to assess such theory? As, it can challenge some currently accepted and deeply rooted assumptions about reality. Do those members have access to high rank science so…

Introducing graviton, which decay at to less than Planck's time to gravitation waves which becomes template upon which spacetime curvature forms, merging Einstein field equations parameters and interpreting that using Schrodinger equation, can this leads to quantification of gravity? have a look at the following diagrams. The diagrams have been used for illustration purposes to outline the concept-from the diagram graviton wave function illustrated envelopes elementary particles in this case case-down quark. Once Higgs field is saturated a standing wave is formed that forms graviton that immediately decay to gravitation waves. As elementary particles aggre…

The root of your problem is that you first believed that Special Relativity was a rational Theory. A correct theory. This false belief leads to all manner of weirdness. Common excuses to overcome questions like yours are: Shut up and Calculate (don't ask questions) , Its "Unintuitive" (meaning irrational) , and my favourite, "Some people just can't grasp the concepts". (said by superior intellects that can understand it but just can't seem to find suitable words to explain it )

there is online discussion of scalar emf waves that do not have a frequency, but offer a voltage. Not only does this supposed wave have a voltage that can be applied remotely, but travels faster than light to a specific point, moving in the time dimension, not normal 3d space time. This seems highly unlikely, even to the extent of the naming of it as a scalar "wave" when the proponents say it has no frequency. thanks

Hi, This is my speculative idea on how a universe like structures could come into existence. Let's start with dark matter candidates, Axioms , Wimps. Sterile neutrinos. "A Ryton is a subatomic particle that has a weak mass and a weak positive charge associated with it, giving rise to a weak electric field. Making them somewhat different to the other dark matter candidates. These particles form a volume of space with a uniformed mass and energy density. each Ryton is separated from one another by its weak positive electric field, forming a Ryton Cluster. To the best of my knowledge 3 of the forces including the strong nuclear force, the electromagnetic force…

I saw the 'UFO' in news thread in news and looked up whether Oumuamua had been mentioned in context. Only there, as far as I can tell. When I first heard the initial details it struck me immediately as the most likely route to having any contact with extraterrestrial civilisation in our history. Of course it might be nothing at all to do with that, more likely than not, but if it were and we missed the chance to launch a mission to visit it, what a lost opportunity. If intelligent civilisations tend to destroy themselves (possibly the explanation for why we don't see any?) a short time after they invent nuclear power and space travel, the next thing would be to …

as a thought experiment, what if one of an entangled pair of particles were to fall into a black hole and it's partner is in a remote lab and is measured. Would the black hole residing particle respond to it's partner as in the case of being separated by only distance, and not affect by the event horizon? IOW, is non locality blocked if one particle is behind the horizon, forming a sort of informational diode to even this quantum effect?

The big bang did not start with the explosion of a single ATOM of matter alone. THE ENERGY CREATED would be negligible in viewing our end result.. Before there was matter, there where two opposing harmonising, stable, forces that (became vibrations , sound , light) they existed as a whole ,a negative and a positive, a north and south, a push and a pull with equal force issuing stability in perfection.. something upset this causing rhythm, then causing these otherwise stable intertwined equal opposing forces to lose stability ,which in turn caused them to abrase and in this collision that double atom of matter came to life instantaneously being born into a pure energy envi…

In our many discussions about UFOs or UAPs I'm not sure we have ever discussed Bracewell Probes in any real detail and "if" the UAP/UFO phenomena turns out to be not of this earth I think the idea of a Bracewell Probe might be a viable explanation of not only where these objects originate but the concept might even explain some of their behaviors. A Bracewell Probe might have technological capabilities not predicted by Ronald N. Bracewell the originator of the concept in 1960. Not only could such a probe be combined with the concept of a Von Neumann probe the probe could build smaller drone type vehicles to explore and more closely observe the planets it was sent to…

The "Light Clock" has nothing to do with Physics. Because such a device is a physical impossibility. So you have an imaginary device that can't possibly function in reality, then you expect to be able to do Math calculations on its performance? That's equivalent to calculating how many tooth fairies would be required to lift a block of Moon Cheese.

Elon Musk once said 'We can use Nukes to Warm Mars up' If we extrapolate from that, we can also use Nukes to cool Earth down. Neutron bombs were intended to detonate at ground level to destroy all humans nearby whilst keeping Buildings mostly unscathed. The difference here is that we could detonate them in the sky instead. The fiery blast radius would be a few hundred metres. The high energy Neutron radius would be 1000-2000 metres. High energy Neutron collisions with Carbondioxide would make radioactive Carbondioxide. This newly radioactive compound would Betadecay into single Atoms Earth's Atmosphere 78.08% Nitrogen 20.95% Oxygen …

I placed this here right away as speculation on others but this is my theory and my belief. Please disprove it and debunk it. I am serious because I need to know. The debunk is not this amateur post but my book as a whole. Not telling to buy the book but click on "see book" on amazon and debunk the first 8 pages or substack stuff but it should be the book. If not, I will place myself; Newton = Gravity (Principia) Einstein = Gravity (General Relativity) Delamotte = Gravity (Prime Mechanics) Only three people got it right. March 14, 2023 I published Prime Mechanics. "Prime Mechanics is based on a science that…

The procedural position of an autonomous photon in a particle with quantum entanglement of the nucleus, adjusted for light error, will be approximated by dividing space into atomic intervals, and then compiling a procedural matrix of photon positions, which is a matrix with mixed elements. Each photon has the opportunity to act in different positions of the process, forming some sequences and patterns, while the quantification process occurs according to the rule: the more positions a photon occupies, the more likely it is to be in a certain position. Thus, the procedural position of an autonomous photon in a particle with a quantum entanglement of the nucleus, adjusted f…
