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.

  1. Hi: Here is a speculative situation involving satellite internet access A client connects to the internet through a two-way satellite modem provided by the ISP. The satellite is geostationary and uses one frequency for radio telecommunication -- 2 GHz. The modulation is AM. Both the carrier and modulation signals are completely linear. The carrier is always analog and amplitude-modulation. The modulation signal is initially digital but is converted to analog -- via a DAC -- prior to being transmitted on the carrier. On the receiving end, the analog AM carrier signal is amplified [using a 2 GHz amplifier] and is subsequently demodulated. After demodulation, the res…

  2. Hi: A theoretical pill to permanently cure hypertension and the non-aura stages of migraine is developed. This pill decreases blood pressure by changing the dynamics of the cardiac muscles such that: 1. When a cardiac muscle relaxes, it relaxes completely 2. The extent to which the cardiac muscles un-relax is minimal enough that the patient cannot hear the heartbeat or arterial-pulse unless he/she covers his/her ears, is in a completely-silent environment, and consciously chooses to concentrate on the sounds of the heartbeat or resulting pulses. 3. The heart rate is as slow as it can get without causing any medical concerns provided the patient is in a rest…

  3. Hi: I asked a similar speculative question before but am still obsessed with hi-tech measures to treat obesity. I apologize profusely if anyone is annoyed. The following is a theoretical cure of obesity I’m brainstorming about. The patient’s small intestine is populated by hypothetical synthetic bacteria that fit all the following characteristics: 1. Not gram-negative 2. Free of lipopolysaccharide 3. Non-pathogenic 4. Aerotolerant-anaerobic 5. Non-allergenic 6. Use homolactic acid fermentation as their only source of energy. These bacteria are present in a pill the patient ingests. These bacteria are designed so that they specifically feed so…

  4. I have the real theory of everything. I am willing to answer questions like... What is time? Where did we come from? How did the Universe begin? What happens in certain Quantum Experiments? How do you get something from nothing? Is there a God? What is a Black Hole? How do Galaxies form? Is there a multiverse? What is Dark matter? What is Dark Flow? What is Gravity? What is magnetism? Why does the Universe expand? What happened before the Big Bang? What is a singularity? What was there before the singularity? I will give you the answers, but you might not understand them. but do I cheat? No. I base everything on a single formula +1 +-1 =0.Don't ask…

    http://www.taliscope.com/Sator_en.html Was the sator square difficult to construct? All of these words create a palindrome, make a sentence, and add up to 10 using the alphabet (along with all of the other patterns). Could we easily recreate something like this? Since "arepo" appears nowhere else in Latin literature, it could have been created to complete this palindrome.... therefore maybe it's not as incredible as it appears to be. What are your thoughts? I still find it fascinating.

    The electron does not move let alone spin. It is held in something like a Lagrange point. There are 2.N2 such points. When you do Chemistry and play around with molecules you use balls with holes drilled in them at precise angles and struts, what I am saying is that in fact reflects reality, the ball is the nucleous and the combining stut the electron in its fixed location dictated by nucleous 1 and in chemical combination also occupying the fixed location of nucleous 2. In fact there is little difference between,so called Ionic and Covalant bonds ( in fact both effects are usually present ) except that ionic bonds can be easily seperated by water. This explains why you …

  7. Black holes are singularities. This means that they must exist as point masses, according to general relativity. The gravitational field around a point mass must have a hyperbolic potential profile, not a parabolic one as assumed by Newton’s Law of Gravity. A hyperbola is characterized by asymptotes that define the extreme behavior of the curve far from the origin. Hyperbolic curves merely approach, but never reach the asymptotes. Proper parabolas, on the other hand, approach and reach their extreme values eventually. For instance, a proper parabola will actually pass through the origin, but the equivalent hyperbola never will. The hyperbolic gravitational field a…

    quantum physics is the application of a two dimensional equation to a three dimensional object. to make matters worse they decide to apply the odd equation in three dimensions and orthogonally. as the one dimensional quantum leaves the domain of their equation they claim mysticism instead of error. When it is there they claim science and probability. The uncertainty is nothing but the inability to determine the local coordinate system of the object under scrutiny.

They were full wizards until they became pack mind in the process of being famous and important. (lots of other types of wizards, art-music-dance-literature-etc, couldn't name them all) A wizard is simply any individual that has failed the to transition from chilhood learning mode into the "pack mind" of a normal human adult. This is a possible human configuration - though considered abnormal due to the infrequency of its occurence. All wizards have the neurochemical balance of those five years of age.

    There is only one "thing" in the universe. It is a quantum. It is one dimensional and only has length. There are so many of these in the universe that it is a number that your mind can not comprehend. Galaxies are built from them, *everything* in the universe it built from them. If any one of the quanta moves it creates time. Time is a two dimensional field created by the movement of of a quantum. The faster the 1D quantum moves the more time it creates. This causes two things. The 2D time field both bends the path of the quantum and the field extends farther from the quantum, affecting other quanta in range of the field. Any bend in the pa…

    The Universe. By ScottTheSculptor   Time is a one dimensional "thing" that flows into the sun and can vary. If science can accept this; dark energy, dark matter, missing radiowaves from the galactic core, long lived particles from up time-stream, planetary density discrepencies (Mercury too dense, Mars not dense enough), proton magnetism, jets from black holes, and other cosmic mysteries are explained. All stars are time vortexes with time flowing in the equator and jetting out the poles. All galaxies have a gravity gradient leading to the black holes in their cores. You may wonder how we missed this I will attempt to explain . . . Einstein …

  14. Hi: I would like to treat obesity in such a manner that allows patients to eat whatever they want and not perform any physical exercise -- and STILL lose all the unwanted body fat. This would involve the use of bio-engineered bacteria made from the smallest naturally-existing aerotolerant-anaerobic bacterium that has all the following qualities: 1. Not gram-negative 2. Free of lipopolysaccharide 3. Non-pathogenic 4. Does not produce or contain any exo- or endo-toxins 5. Is non-allergenic 6. Uses homolactic-acid-fermentation – not respiration – for energy. This form of fermentation does not generate CO2. An obese patient is injected with medical bacteria …

    Time is a one dimensional thing of finite length - a time quantum. Light is a two dimensional loop made from the time quantum. Matter is a three dimensional configuration of that same loop. Einsteins math makes paths curve. If you accelerate a time quantum its path will bend into a loop. Speed up that loop and it contracts. large loops are radio waves. Small loops are light waves. The smallest non-touching loop is a gamma ray. As soon as the ends of the loop meet you get a zero rest mass electron. Speed it up and it contract the circumference of the fixed length quantum and it "squishes" into 3D space. Accelerate it farther and the center contracts eve…

  16. After reading this go directly to the 3rd post before responding(It has to do with a "problem" with these forums) What is the difference between theories and pseudo-science? Is it just the reliability, fame, and respect we have for a person (a.k.a power) who created the theory or is there another thing involved in calling something a theory? Is a theory a science or does it have to proven first? Here is example for me try to explain to you what I am getting at - I watched an episode of Curiosity where Stephen Hawking was host, the episode was ..."Did God create the universe". He explains things to us in a way where can understand it...which I liked and his ideas…

    It is held that the quantum world is quite different from the normal physical world. Why should it be? I think the weirdness is due to wrong concepts, and will disappear if we change them as follows. Use mass in place of charge to calculate electrostatic force Change the concept of force utilization IF we use mass, the force between an electron and a proton will be nearly 1837 times the force between two electrons (the constant to be changed using the charge- mass ratio of electron). The immediate consequence is that the size of the proton becomes proportional to that of electron (with respect to mass). I propose that electron/proton has a fixed…

  21. This only my rambling ideas and in this context I remove all my pride. Not my personality pride…that is sacred to you. From now on I will refer the removing of that separate pride as prode…a new word I made up. And the sacred pride that you need to survive as human being as just plain pride. Pride is still pride, the type of pride that makes you proud to be you – your personality. On the other I believe that if all prode is removed then we could get very close to solving the mysteries of the universe. I would really like in this forum for all prode to be removed even if you don’t know what prode is exactly yet. Removing prode is just TEMPORARY removal of pride to work tog…

Within the verses of Rev. 22:16 it states, " I am the root and the offspring of David" This proves it, Somewhere sombody was thinking about time travel even thousands of years ago.

I am not taking in account of disturbances, just for your information.

  24. After some considerable thought about a post I made in response to, Check my equation of I x F = E, I decided to follow up with a question about the possibility of quantized length. The question that is posed is one that asks whether there is merit in the notion of quantized space versus analog space and uses the Lorentz factor in regards to length contraction as a basis for the argument. We know that we cannot reach the speed of light due to the definitions in relativity. The Lorentz contraction states that if a body moved at the speed of light relative to an observer, then it would appear to have its length contracted to zero along the direction of motion as seen b…
