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.

    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…

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.

    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.

  10. That's my worry after watching the BBC program last night called "Faster than the speed of light?". It was disgusting to watch, do they think viewers are so easy to brainwash? (yes unfortunately...). Media hype means money of course. Is there anything genuine left in theoretical Physics? The presenter made an awful program. I know there is a lot of money involved, but since these pretty strings and extra dimensions have never been proven, why even mention them?? I think making a tv program is just trying to sell more books with a nice cover (night sky with bright stars) and useless long equations trying to impress someone. The presenter quoted Einstein saying that "time i…

NOMATTER how many room of universes exist,and also it does not matter that if you start from one point you will probably return to the starting point,according to Einstein theory.The situation defends on the border of visibility and how a thinking mind capable of perceiving invisibility and what is beyond the INVISIBILITY BORDER. By visibility here I mean that any perception of element.And by invisibility anything non element like soul.

    surely someone has suggested that there may be a universe cycle. Why can't the big bang have been the result of say a super massive blackhole, which eventually sucked in all the matter in the universe and then collapsed in on itself. So once everything had been consumed by the super massive black hole, it itself was the only thing left so it consumed or folded in on itself. Then just as everything in the universe was compressed into a tiny dense pea sized ball at the bottom of the once black hole, the laws of physics broke down resulting in the massive explosion (the big bang) to restart the universe cycle once again. I just think cause there are so man…

  14. 28 Oct. 2011 Here is my exposition on "Time Travel" and the "Multiple Universe" theory. When I first heard of theorists talking about this I was kind of disgusted. I thought maybe some of them were taking one too many nips from the ole' sauce, but now I am even more impressed with their vision and genius to be able to extrapolate this. But as I examined my mathematics, I suddenly realized what they were seeing. I constantly check my work with the experimental fact and what current theories are predicting to gauge the correspondence of my own mathematics. a: They are talking about time travel to not this world, but to a parallel world. b: …

    For a lifetime now (over 40 years) I have been looking to resolve the connection between the physics of the current atomic model and the physics of the all powerful cosmic forces that move all the atoms everywhere within the cosmos. As you can imagine it is quite a massive undertaking. What helped me was I discovered many errors in today's atomic physics models which are still being used today and continue to block our progress in our understanding of how the atom and the cosmic universe interacts. If you are interested in hearing more on this subject please give your best answers to all or any of the following questions: 1. Do orbits exist? 2. Does the cosm…

    Mankind Wondered … 'How long did it take that pebbled beach to look like that sandy beach? Science put a time-span to the erosion process and the conclusion was … aeons. They quote' nature took 'A Thousand Million Years' to turn solid rock into boulders' boulders into pebbles' and pebbles into all the sand in the world. This geological time-span was used as a baseline for dating everything from evolution to the laws of physics, and the time-span is wrong, clearly wrong because Beach Pebbles' get 'Bigger' not smaller. Beach pebbles are formed by the process of 'Tidemark' … a tidal layering process. It's the same process as a wash basin when a thin layer of gr…

    Fusion and fission are the two basic processes on which the universe operates. Fusion for example is an addition and multiplication of Numbers Space and Light, whereas fission is the exact opposite, i,e. it is a subtraction and division of the same three quantities. Whatever the effect one side produces, the exact opposite the other side produces. Fusion for example produces coldness and darkness-invisibility, whereas fission produces heat and light. Both actions produce energy, where one acts in the form of contraction (fusion) while the other acts in the form of expansion (fission). Since all matter is made of three levels of Numbers Space and Light (particles), where …

I was out for a while, dealing mostly with personal and work related chaos, but now I'm back, and as usual, I have weird questions I've seen a TV program yesterday in Discovery Science about the possibile connection between paranormal sightings and electromagnetic radiation. The program showed various scientists that claimed that most "haunted" houses were in real close proximity of electrical wires and other objects that emitted high rates of electromagnetic radiation, something that they claimed affected the brain and cuased those sights. What I was seriously wondering about, is your opinion: Do you think the electromagnetic radiation affected…

    Hi i am new to this forum but have an idea i want to explore,and will appreciate feedback.My idea is that the only way i can visualize creating something from nothing is mathematically.that plus one minus one = zero (+1-1=0).Following this logic to create space from nothing you must create anti-space,my idea stems from this principal. Mass and energy are interchangeable so we only need to create energy and anti-energy because we can use the energy to create mass. I will use an analogy to explain my point,my analogy is an escalator where the steps appear from underground you borrow those steps till you get to end of escalator you get of and the steps disappea…

  24. This 'speculation' attempts to give a possible answer to the inconsistency between the pre-2011 experiments on the speed of Neutrinos and the latest OPERA experiments that show Neutrino's travelling faster than light. The pre-2011 experiments show the speed of Neutrinos at around c from the MINOS detectors in 2007 and around c from the Supernova 1987A. This speculation attempts to answer how these results hold and also the the OPERA experiment which shows faster than light speed. My theory is that the neutrinos tend towards the speed of light even though their initial speed is 'boosted' by the energy that created the neutrino. I.e. With larger energy and short…

    Just watching this doco: http://topdocumentar...age-apocalypse/ Was thinking that, assuming this really did occur, that it could be the source of the biblical adam and eve creation myth and other similar myths. It could be a highly distorted and symbolised account of real events that have been passed down through thousands of generations, where stoneage survivors did indeed find a realtively unaffected region that allowed them to survive.
