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.

**EDIT: Please move this to the Speculation forum** - Hello. I would like to share with you a theory I have been working on for some time now. I am not a professional physicist so please, bear with some of the simplified terms I use in this abbreviated summary. - I have developed a new atomic model that is completely different from the Bohr atomic model that we learned in high school, but at the same time nearly identical (more on this later). I call it The Magnetic Atom. With these magnetic atoms I can unite all forces into one force. I can also unite all particles of matter i.e. electrons, protons and neutrons into one particle. Sub atomic particles such as quarks…

Ok, so here's the deal: I know virtually nothing about Theoretical Physics from a matter and interactions standpoint, and absolutely nothing about physics from a mathematical standpoint. But, nontheless, I want to learn. But, while I was educating myself through some of Hawking's works, a thought occurred to me: What if the fabric we call Space Time is a collection of infinite, yet clearly defined, points? The points would be, for lack of a better term, "mapped" as our universe. These points are a basis of location relative to an "onlooker" of the universe. However, these points are finite in distance from each other, as far as without matter in the universe every single …

Thanks for looking at this. Does it work? (I believe parts are from Einstein) Suppose everything is allotted a certain amount of energy: c=speed of light. Suppose that this energy could be expended in to ways: 1. Movement through space. 2. Moment through time. Suppose also that all of this energy must be expended. Therefore since we can only control moment through space, all reaming energy moves through time. Hence, the closer to light speed the slower through time, and voilà, speed-time dilation! But what about gravitational time dilation? We know light is bent by gravity. So in the presence of gravity light is ever so slower. In a singularity it stops. A singula…

Where is scientific evidence for paranormal? There is evidence for telepathy ( Vinko Rajic telepathy-vinko-rajic.blogspot.com and maybe Uri Geller ) and few other really strong cases . Some Universities ( University of California , University of Southampton , Edinburgh University and some others) make research on but they do not make research on really people that can use telepathy, strange , why? The Pentagon’s Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently developing technology that will allow soldiers of the future to communicate via telepathic mind signals. It is a program program called Silent Talk. Some showman offer ( James Ran…

It's a bit short, maybe more detail could have gone in, but I said to Appolinaria that I would write a thread up on time. Since the recent interest in it, I thought best do it now. The Theory of Time Quantum physics brought a new understanding, a new picture if you like of time and the way we previously understood time seemed to prove innacurate. The theory seemed to predict that there was actually no flow to time [1][2], a strange new understanding in current theoretical physics as we seem to have the experience that there is some kind of linear flow to time. General Relativity also generates motion that is a symmetry of the theory it is not a true time evolut…

Hi, not so sure where to post about this, so thought this would be the best spot. I was wondering if anyone knows about white powder gold(monoatomic gold) or any other M-state elements. I have been on many sites that claim "to put you in touch with god" or "heal any health problems you may have" is there any real research being conducted on this? I have yet to find a real website that has dealt with scientists or doctors. Does anyone know if taking it is harmful? Any inforomation would be greatly appreciated.

If we take the standard model and twist it around slightly and state it as follows:- Energy is positively charged (+) anti-energy is negatively charged (-) Energy creates matter (positive) anti-energy creates anti-matter (negative) m+ matter a- anti-matter up quark consists by ratio of (m+ a- m+) = (+2 -1) down quark consists by ratio of (a- m+ a-) = (-2 +1) proton consists of (up up down) = 2(+2 -1) + (-2 +1) = +5 -4 anti proton consists of (down down up) = 2(-2 +1) + (+2 -1) -5 +4 electron = a- positron = m+ neutron = proton + electron anti-neutron = anti-proton + positron hydrogen atom = proton + elec…

please consider my new theory of gravitation... according to the law of the conservation momentum for rotational object (gyroscope,earth,...),if you apply a force towards them,they will counteract with an equal reverse force,perpendicular to the plane of you force... every inertial body applies a force against the earth rotation and revolution,according to their inertial massa (this force is friction) counter orientated to the rotation of the earth and nevertheless they are carry away with it,because it has a bigger massa... so,this counter reaction of earth to frictional objects is directed towards his center and is generated because of his rotational movement (one of…

If there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum,because there are still quantum fluctuations,of positive and negative energy(E+ E-). space can by defined as a quantum foam of energy.it has fabric.the nature of this fabric,is that if you try to pull it apart you input energy into it,which separates as matter and anti-matter,but space has an elastic quality as soon as you stop putting energy in,it snaps back together. If energy is input as electro-magnetic wave,as the wave travels through the quantum foam,the front edge of the wave is pulling the fabric apart creating virtual matter(m+) and virtual anti-matter(a-).The wave does this up to it's full amplitude,where then as t…

It started out with a simple theory on the speed of light, and I stumbled upon a theory on how a Star dies and creates "black holes". I don't know if I should share though. Also, if i do share it, i'm going to my Science 20 teacher before hand to see if this is feasible.

While we share the excitement with others regarding recent discovery that the universe is accelerating in its expansion, the dark energy part is rather spooky. There is another model that gives the same results without such energy and we will greatly appreciate experts who can review the model. The author is a simple engineer, not an astrophysicist. He said he has a headache each time he tries to imagine what the dark energy is like The article is at [url="http://www.atlanticdaily.com/science/109"] A Clumping Universe [/url] (atlanticdaily.com/science/109) Thank you.

So I created Fractle's in MS Paint. I did not try to do this. I previously drew this out on graph paper to prove my theory. If you do not know what a fracle is, look below. http://fractalfounda.../art/FC-fff.jpg Look at the Variable Wave Riding Slide. The Line Segment Z " AKA PHOTON B" Is Traveling away from point of origin O. I colored in the Two sides of the Equation, and it revealed Fractle's. I did not alter the image to do this.

One could look at the universe and say that stars form in a vacuum. One could think about the universe and say that is completely impossible for stars to form in a vacuum. After thinking about it I am becoming certain that both statements are wrong. Thinking about science is still a new thing for me; the trying to make sense of it all. I was having trouble figuring out what space is. I seemed to have some sort of grasp on the thought, but the problem there was that I was thinking of the universe as being made of matter and space. The problem with the thought is that matter occupies space, and another part of the problem was that I was viewing space and vacuum as if they…

To: Albert. The Effluvium or Effluvia, a "supposed imponderable agent formerly regarded as the source of electric and magnetic forces" (Funk and Wagnall's) has been the subject of discussions from a long time ago. Many models were used to explain the workings of the Universe, trying to unify everything with a simple solution. The best, so far, is the Big Bang Theory. To find a Universal Law which makes everything work would be, in essence, like discovering the Holy Grail of Science. We have now reached a point in Man's evolution where Matter is contemplating Itself. We realize we are Matter and we are thinking about our makeup. Ou…

Why do we have to use physical constants in our physics equations? Is it to compensate for our physical environment? Consider the following where: Speed of light squared = c^2 = 1 / (magnetic constant * electric constant) Magnetic constant = (29920 * 2pi) / 149,600,000,000 = 1.25663706143592 x10-6 Electric constant = 1 / (600,772.178 * 29920 * 2pi) = 8.854187818 x10-12 Radius sun-earth = (29920 * 2pi) / 1.25663706143592 x10-6 = 149,600,000,000 m Radius sun-earth = 1 / (600,772.178 * magnetic constant * electric constant) = 149,600,000,000 m Solar orbit velocity = (149,600,000,000 * magnetic constant) / 2pi = 29920 m/sec Centripetal velocit…

Humans typically brand themselves as illogical and so is their decisions, but I have a theory that could well explain our thinking process, and (perhaps) enable a breakthrough in the creation of human-like computer programmes. Okay,I'll try to skim it down to the basic rules of the algorithm: 1.The human decision-making algorithm is based on aninput-process-output basis. 2.Input includes present-time data from the environment and storedmemories. Output is the decision. 3.The algorithm is divided into four parts, the first is primary,following second and third is auxillary, fourth is special. 4.First, survival. This is divided into Need to Live (Maintaining con…

something I've been confused about for a while. I understand the idea of how it works but the current level of the development of the technology is not clear. i have heard several things recently on the topic. 1.) it is now known fact that cold fusion is impossible 2.) fusion has been established but the energy required to initiate it was greater than the output. 3.) fusion has been established but the hydrogen production requires more energy than the fusion produces or is to dangerous. 4.) fusion has not been established because we have not been able to achieve the energies required. 5.) robotics are not developed enough to maintain the reactor. 6.) none of the…

"faster than light neutrinos?" Explaining the errors Both the distance and timing coordination were measured based upon the GPS system. I think the GPS system has programming errors within it based upon Special and General Relativity, which accordingly generated the errors. So instead of simply errors, this proposal also involves new physics. The reason for the "errors" I believe is based upon the altitude difference between Cern and Gran Susso, which is about 4/5 of a mile. According to my own model of gravity this would translate to about a 10 meter over-estimation of the overall distance, and roughly a 32 nano-second error was made accordingly in t…

Rule1:-The first thing a magician needs to do is set the stage for his illusion. Rule2:-Know your audience,if the physicist has a standard model and conventional practices,the magician can use this to his advantage,to hood wink physicists.So magician invites physicists to be his audience. The magician sets the stage,by hiding and pretends he is not there,that he is a void,a vacuum,empty space.But the magician is there ,he is not an empty space,he consists of a vast number of very small matter/anti-matter capacitors.Each capacitor can hold a range of different levels of energy,from a minimum to a maximum,storing energy or giving it up to the next capacitor. …

I have this niggling concept since child hod and I'm 44 now. Please someone take 5 minutes to read this tell me if you can believe it. For me if resolution is finite as described below then there is no option but for the concept of clocking or pusing to me true. Anything else is impossible. Digitally Clocked Space in1 Page 1. Fundamental Assumption The resolution of space is finite and not infinite. IE the resolution of dimension (Size, distance) has a minimum size. You can't zoom in forever end ever. You will reach a minimum unit of dimension. Get to the bottom! 2. Implication of the Assumption If True Then …

A good base for a definition of life(From a user on the IRC) 1. The entity has a metabolism 2. The entity reacts with its surroundings. 3. The entity has some way to reproduce. And a star has all three of these attributes. Metabolism: Nuclear Fusion, This is a suns energy, without this, the star will die out. Reactions: It has radioactive properties that help to protect its self. Reproduction: At the end of a stars life, it may go super-nova, possibly creating a nebula, possibly creating more stars. And some may use the counter, "Not all stars go supernova." A reply to that is, not all humans can reproduce either.
