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.

    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…

  2. 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…

    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.

  19. 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…

    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…

  23. 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: …

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.
