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.

Hi, first post here. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, however considering what im about to post is baseless and completely not within mainstream physics I figure it should be the right sub-forum. I have been having a back and forth with a creationist now for 2 days with him making some wild claims that he can prove the universe is 6000 years old using relativity, inflation period of the universe and the 'ether model'. I'm not having this back and forth with him to try and 'make him see the errors of his ways' since that is usually impossible, however I do want to leave something behind in case anyone comes across his ramblings and doesn't…

Time The logical position shifts of the zero intersection within a particular x,y,and z plane as it pertains to it's own non symetrical dialation Vacuum energy annihalation fills the voids of space/time with the minimum amout of momentum needed to sustain the integrity of the continum as structure forms out of harmonically balanced frequencies of distance/momentum projections by the relative zero points in pro-atomic space time. If I am correct, one might possibly time travel if you could get some very specialized equipment to record the pattern shifts of a particular field of atoms in space, and you'd also have to have a some very specialized equipm…

I have been watching solar flares for years,I am now convinced that a very small few of them break the speed off light,I will explain why. Go look at the videos of solar flares and do this. Draw a circle around the outside of the sun,draw another circle 186,000 miles out from that line,this is the distace the solar flare should not be able to cross in 1 second(a bit of mathmatics is needed to figure out where to place the second line as every video is a bit different but if your on this website thats no problem for us. Most of the solar flare videos show flares that stay under this line BUT I have found 3 which the flares cross this line in under 1 second,it's…

Hello! I tried to write about it before, but it never came through all right. I meditated a lot, when I was a teenager. With it in me awoke something, that I know little about. It is a kind of a possibility to control my body with my mind. It became more than a learned ability, I cannot stop doing it, like it runs itself. By itself it seems nothing special, but it seems it is possible to do it. It feels there is a system of the body, that allows it to happen. I found six centers of different activity, each with three subcenters, one being the main (in the middle), other two blending with the past and next center. The feelings, that run through them, seem to ru…

If the multiverse theory is true (that ours is just one of >1 universe), I'm curious how time would work in it. On a documentary I saw a few years ago, one theory regarding this says that our universe might have been created when two other universes collided. Another theory says our universe is an expanding bubble in a bubble bath of universes. Yet another says we might be the offspring of a black hole in another universe. And maybe it's a combination, all or some of the above? Now, to me, as a layman, all of these seem to require time to be not bound by a particular universe. Two universes swinging wildly in a void would need time to be present universally? S…

Space (Length, Area, Volume, etc.) x Time = Everything that happens in given space in a certain amount of time Say in an volume of 100 cm^3 for 5 seconds, 500 "units" happen, which is the same amount as 5 cm^3 in 100 seconds. If you think about it it makes sense that they are the same too.

Quite a few people on the internets seem to simply not "believe" in SR, and are trying to figure out time while holding onto that belief. I don't get why anyone would try to figure it out while denying the reality of SR. I can see questioning the evidence of SR, but given the evidence, trying to figure out time according to ideas incompatible with SR seems to involve figuring out something incompatible with reality. How can you figure out time while reasoning about ideas that are not based in reality? It is essentially reasoning based on fantasy. You can claim anything you want to, if you're not concerned with reality. For fun I thought I'd try it (while still consid…

dear friends this is my first thread. i want to know about Darwin's theory of evolution with evidence. in order to prove darwin's theory of evolution the following things should be proved: conclusion: man is evolved from monkey reason 1: there was monkeys and not men. reason 2: evolution process takes place. reason 3: man comes out as a result of that process. if anybody establish these reasons with proper evidence, i will be very happy and obliged. fossils do not prove any of the reasons stated above.

Hello reader, my name is Kyle Smith. I've only recently started to search for those who I can share my ideas with. So far, my search has led me here. I have many ideas on many things, but I would like to start from the beginning. It seems as if the scientific community is leaving an important factor to the equation of the theory of the formation of the universe out. What if the beginning is wrong? In my opinion, we are putting too much into what we "think" we know. Countless times in history mankind has "known". In a not too distant past, the world being flat was taken as a known fact, and I'm sure equations of that time would have showed it as well. If they would have on…

I'd like to be clear about this: I'm not talking about the fortune telling scam you see in newspapers. I'm talking about personality traits associated with astrological signs; maybe there may be something to it. What if the modern view of astrology is a bit off? I'm thinking that if we move away from astrology being about the effects of constellations on our lives and toward astrological charts being a complicated calendar, we might find a shred of truth behind all the mystic nonsense. If the astrological charts act merely as a complicated calendar, it could be that cyclic Earthly (vice celestial) events are at root. Is it not possible for temperature and the avai…

This was shared on twitter, and it's an absolutely awesome explanation about how the media (and some random 'fancy looking' sites) totally misleads the public, either intentionally out of some agenda or by incompetence (by not asking for proper resources). GREAT resource for everyone, but I think it's even doubly relevant to this forum. There are other parts to it, too.

This is a digression of the "ontology" thread... Can anyone think of a philosophical reasoning that this wouldn't be true, specifically by describing some definition of distance that has meaning without the presence of matter? How could you possibly measure (or express) distance of nothingness? Isn't 1m between nothing the same as a billion light years between nothing? How can you measure distance without using matter? If you stick a tape measure in it, the matter of the tape measure defines distance. If you shine a light into it, you receive no information back (unless spacetime is closed). Is there any example of distance that is defined without requiri…

Hello All As there seem to be so many conflicting ideas about this subject and because many of these ideas seem to fall into the realm of speculation I decided this was the best place for this post. Various ideas/concepts of time travel seem to have been around on this planet for a very long time so I think I'll skip the history tour. It seems possible as we are travelling forwards in time every unit of time ( split/second, minute, hour day etc ) already that given time dilation/relativity that perhaps in the future we may be able to "jump" forwards in time by varying units of time ( although if future time is being set up each split/unit of time the…

Based on conservation law of energy principle, nothing can come from northing or nullity. Nevertheless, the total energy of the Universe is zero. Total momentum of the universe is also zero. Noteworthy, according to H particle-paths hypothesis, in my website Hparticles.com/, the total path-length of the universe is conserved. In other words the algebraic sum of path-length in spatial and mass media is zero at all the time. Tirgan

Supposedly, microseconds following the big bang; an absence of the Higgs boson allowed our universe to expand at a runaway speed many times that of light. After a short span of time, a few milli/micro seconds or so; the Higgs boson materialized to infuse the entire universe, and light speed became the norm. Theory is that the Higgs controls the speed of everything in the entire universe from a feather to a meteor to a galaxy. A fascinating conjecture, but now the theory seems to have fallen on hard times, and red shift once again is dictating that the universe is now speeding up. Are we to believe that after fourteen billion years, our universe is speeding up to surpass l…

For many years since my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s i didnt have dreams. I allways wondered why i didnt have them. I thought it unfair. What had i done to deserve it. Then for a year ago i started an adventure into something i thought was impossible. Up until that time i didnt realy belive in any religion, or that we could be living in a "matrix", to be honnest im not sure what it realy is. Maybe it needs to be so for me to belive it. I started experiencing many wierd things. Things that should be impossible. I started seriously being able to read peoples minds, those in my life and some people even online. Some i failed doing it on, why im not sure. But i t…

Infinite levels of consciousness and energy. "The plants exist on levels of consciousness from one through seven. They are on a vibrational rate on the levels one through seven. It is the same pattern. Animals exist on the levels of consciousness from eight through fourteen, and when a person attains, when a consciousness attains level fourteen, it can no longer go any higher unless it is willing to change its form of consciousness. Levels of consciousness from fifteen through twenty-one are what you call human life on this earth. When a person progresses to level of consciousness twenty one, he then has the choice of going high…

I hadn't heard of the idea of 'gravimotion' before the thread on E=MC^2's applicability at the quantum level. I don't know what gravimotion has to do with that, but I googled it and I find it an interesting idea worth discussing. It is also a question I've wrestled with myself: why can't gravity be explained as simply as lots of matter falling at the same rate? Spacetime curvature could then be held responsible for the fact that the matter tends to concentrate and build up a 'dam' (the ground) that blocks water and atmosphere from continuing to free-fall. I don't know what, then, would explain the curvature of spacetime that causes matter to 'jam up' into a 'dam' suc…

I was watching a documentary on holographic reality. Long story short the person speaking said that what we see could possibly be a hologram that is projected from a black hole. This got me wondering if the human eye could in a since be acting as a black hole. When you think about it, light enters the pupil and does not exit. light is made up of photons which have mass which in turn makes it mater. When we see things, we are seeing the reflection of that object. Technically the photon is encoded with information from the objects the light is being reflected off of allowing us to see it. My question is this, what happens to the matter that enters your pupil, is your eye in…

Part 1: Slow glass... From a thread in the Relativity forum: http://en.wikipedia....ight_in_fiction "'Slow glass' is a material where the delay light takes in passing through the glass is attributed to photons passing '...through a spiral tunnel coiled outside the radius of capture of each atom in the glass.'" Suppose you had complete control over the path of light through some volume. Even with light traveling at c, a long curving path would take longer for light to travel, and could be used to delay light. A fractal path on an arbitrarily small section of a plane can have an infinite length. Quantum limitations might make a true fractal path impossible…

I was reading over at science news about "The End of Space" by I Got Wisdom (or some such ) but not allowed to comment (topic locked). Since God showed this to "Got Wisdom" I won't bother to pursue this one too closely. One thing did bother me and that was that on The Onion they were talking about the Hubble Kaleidoscope (Is A Kaleidoscope for real ?) and how astronomers have recently observed total "Weirdness" out in space with this thing. What is the Hubble Kaleidoscope and is The Onion reporting valid/serious science/astronomy news ? I went over to http://www.astronomy.pomona.edu/penprase/BEPresearch.website/Default.html This one has links to somet…
