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.

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 …

YES!! I'm BACK!! 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…

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.

Hi, I had a look at the Bell Island boom incident and I think it is very interesting and there are a lot of different theories. Personally, I think it was a solar flare which radiated plasma energy, causing electronic disruption, electrocuting animals, blasting holes in the ground, a huge BOOM, and an unexplained ball of light. I would really like to hear some of your theories and views on my theory (I know it's extremely vague but I'm don't know very much about solar flares and plasma energy.) Here are some links: http://en.wikipedia....iki/Bell_Island http://www.stopdirec...reeservers.com/ http://en.wikipedia....iki/Bell_Island http://www.rumormill....cg…

I want to preface my response with "I could be and most likely am, bat sh!t crazy." Alright I'm going to try to describe an analagous mechanism for this system. Imagine a rubber sheet that is negatively charged. You also have some balls that are negatively charged. If you throw the balls on the sheet, the balls will be repelled. But on the way up, some mysterious force, let's call it gravity, forces these balls to act against their nature and forces them together until some point in time the inherent nature of these balls forces them apart again propelling the balls against the rubber sheet. The balls are then repelled by the sheet and driven up again, gravity takes over,…

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap991129.html The photo of this nasa apod page shows what I believe is a ball of water being formed and shot into space by the pulse from the red star. We know these balls of water exist in space, some as moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Several years ago in a science magazine I saw an electron scanning microscope photograph of rock layers being formed in water, the layers formed around a specific molecule which had been dropped into the water. I wish I could remember which magazine, which molecule, etc., but I can't, but the photo, except for scale, exactly resembled layers of shale or sedimentary rock I have seen on shores of the Great Lake…

Many scientists and physicist believe that everything came from nothing. I'd like to propose a view of nothing came from everything. The true statement may help determine what the universe is expanding into. If nothing existed before the universe than it seems intuitive that the universe is expanding into that nothing. If, everything existed before the universe then we are expanding into a realm of infinitly expanding possibilities. If we look around the universe we should be able to find evidence and physical representations, of everything and nothing. In Math we have a zero. It is the mathmatical representation of nothing, but relative to the equation it is som…

Hi: I want to eliminate the following body parts because they are a nuisance to me: 1. Digestive system [including, the mouth, lips, teeth, gums, tongue, rectum, anus, and jaw BUT excluding the liver because the liver is absolutely essential for survival and cannot be replaced with artificial devices] 2. Urinary system 3. Entire integumentary system and its appendages [such as skin, hair, and nails] 4. Reproductive system 5. Gallbladder 6. Olfactory system [including nose] 7. Outer ears [including wax-producing cells] 8. Middle ears 9. Breasts 10. Any epithelium not necessary for survival, given the state of today’s technology 11. Limbs [such as toes] and m…

There are currently 4 known dimensions. The three spatial dimensions and time. I was wondering about the possibility of more than one dimension of time, just as there are more than one dimension of space. I'd be interested in hearing what the members of this forum have to say about this thought. You can speculate about extra dimensions of time yourself if you want.

The way I always saw light, was that it is a wave that excites particles in what ever medium it is traveling through. The frequency of light is was what determined the distance it would travel or the influence it has on the excitement of the particles in that medium. Light being a particle and a wave. I figured that light was just a wave, the particle side of it, was actually particles being manipulated in the medium by that wave. Due to like particles liking each other so much, that was how gravity effected light. Because gravity effects particles in the light traveling medium the wave distortion was therefore due to the excited particles moving under the force of a give…

HI: I am new to the group and would like to introduce myself. I have a PhD in Chemistry from Purdue in 1965. I conducted industrial research for fifteen years, retired and studied Metaphysics, such areas as Astrology, Numerology, Alchemy, I Ching, Cabala, and Tarot. For the past 30 years, I have been struggling with a book harmonizing the two disciplines and now finally have something I hope would be understandable and interesting. I ask for comments on the subject matter. Numbers, Magic, Chemistry Introduction For those old enough, do you remember the sixties and the Volkswagon van with the hippy colors and the question authority bumper sticker?…

All the other forces in nature have opposites – so what makes gravity different? I believe gravity does have an opposing force, that is, a celestial object of large enough size pushing on itself. All of the mass in the Earth pushes against itself creating a significant amount of energy. This energy, at some point, inverts into a pull (gravity as we know it) that extends about the North/South poles of the Earth as an arc. Look at the attached JPG to see what I think is happening. You can picture the gravitational field in much the same way as a magnetic field, even though the two are completely unrelated. When a star explodes, the gravitational attraction severely ove…

Let me qualify this by saying that I am not a scientist and can offer no proof to my speculations. I have been wondering lately if the universe is not expanding but pulsing. If we are in an expansive wave of the pulse, would it not look like an expansion? If this occurred over billions of years, we would never see the contractive side of the pulse, but might be led to believe that put into reverse the expansion started at the big bang rather than the contractive side of the pulse. Perhaps some parts of the universe are currently expanding and other parts are contracting, similar to pushing in on the sides of a balloon. Perhaps the speed of light is not constant b…

Enstein's contemporary Pascual Jordan said, "A star can be made out of nothing at all because at point of zero volume its negative gravitational energy precisely cancels out its positive mass energy." Jordan was one of the 'fathers' of Quantum Mechanics. A Scientific American article a few years old proposes Space and Time composed of quantum bits woven together. It has been proposed that quantum fluctuations in space may have created matter (with resulting gravity) .. I propose that quantum fluctuations may also have created a perfect form of nothingness, pushing the quantum bits of space and time away from each other, with resulting anti-gravity, and that the 'anti-g…

I am training my Elephant in my back yard. Another intelligent life form is observing our planet from 10 light years away. They have advanced technology and can observe daily life on this planet. Would there observation of my yard be, a man training his animal or would they be seeing some thing that happened years ago? observation can we exist infinite based on distance?

For some reason there's a lot more matter than anti-matter. Because there's more matter than anti-matter and it is not proven that there was a being in the creation of the universe to tamper with matter, it is the nature of the universe itself to be inherently anti-symmetrical. This is essentially just the hypothesis for the hypothesis. The way I think there is more matter than anti matter is because of how the constituents of matter work together in an absolute value or modular way. Whatever the particle or thing is that creates matter, it adds up in an anti-symmetrical way. Matter and matter are made form the same thing, however it must be easier to add up one amount mo…
