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. I was wondering if there was any real science behind the claims that radiation from routers and phone towers are dangerous. It would seem that the radio waves that many devices work on are lower energy than that of light. My thought is that turning a light on would be more dangerous than turning on a Wi-Fi router simply based on the energy of the radiation.

  2. The Universe is, or the local Universe we exist in is in, a jet. 'Mysterious Cosmic 'Dark Flow' Tracked Deeper into Universe' http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/releases/2010/10-023.html 'The clusters appear to be moving along a line extending from our solar system toward Centaurus/Hydra, but the direction of this motion is less certain. Evidence indicates that the clusters are headed outward along this path, away from Earth, but the team cannot yet rule out the opposite flow. "We detect motion along this axis, but right now our data cannot state as strongly as we'd like whether the clusters are coming or going," Kashlinsky said.' The clusters are heade…

    I'm going to make a prediction that dark matter is repulsive to ordinary matter, like two magnets pushing against each other, just as dark energy pushes space apart. Maybe the reason why universal expansion has sped up is because there is more non-baryonic matter compared to normal matter. We already have this mysterious phenomenon called gravity that we know so much about. Why does gravity even occur, and then maybe there is an opposing force to it, antigravity, or a cosmological constant, maybe its due to the existence of this excess proportion of non-baryonic matter, though maybe dark matter is immune to the antigravity of other dark matter. This could easily expl…

    Can it be said that any particle or object in the universe has a certain amount of force required to reach any given destination? So instead of talking about "escape velocity," couldn't one speak of "destination force?" "Escape velocity" implies that once a particle or object reaches a certain speed, it will no longer return to the gravity-well it's being launched out of, but what about its destination? If you took account of its destination, wouldn't any particle/object have a certain velocity (speed and direction) needed to escape ALL possible destinations and remain in its own gravitational frame forever? Likewise, wouldn't any other object be on a trajectory to so…

    Imagine a large cloud of hot gas. If parts of the cloud cool faster than others, those parts should densify relative to their surroundings, correct? Then, if there is no external border constraining the cloud, it could expand freely due to its own heat/pressure, right? So if the condensing parts of the cloud expel more heat due to friction among the particles, couldn't this cause the surrounding gas to warm up and expand more while the condensed particles grow colder and form a heat-sink for surrounding (warmer) particles? In this way, couldn't a body of matter form from the growing disparity between condensation and expanding surroundings and eventually condense to f…

    What if instead of thinking of the early universe of the big bang as expanding spacetime in some abstract sense, you just thought of it as a small, dense ball of matter? Then, think of the expansion of that ball as a process of stretching the contents out despite a limited amount of space between them. So instead of the contents "expanding into" space, they are actually stretching space between them like trying to expand a vacuum within the atmosphere. Another way to describe this would be to say that gravity originated as perfectly contracted spacetime and henceforth began expanding to allow more distance between particles/objects, yes some areas remain(ed) less expan…

What is amaising, it passes all general relativity tests and gives very accurate approximation of gamma rays flashes delay (I prove that light slows when increases its Energy). I am looking for passionate physicists, who could help me to finish the theory and write it down with tensor algebra. Regards Pogono

    The New Universe. Time is a fourth dimension, one dimensional "thing" that flows into the sun and can vary. If physics 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. Also, dah dun dun dah!, Time/Gravity *is* the flow of time. You may wonder how we missed this I will attempt to explain . . . The crux of my argument is against Einstein's relativity *description* (his math was perfect). Einstein thought that time wa…

  10. Before the 20th century people would ask why is the universe so orderly? Einstein was said to have been amazed by the beauty and order of things, why was there so much order? the universe could have been simply chaotic. this inetviabely lead people to concluded that the universe was the creation of a god. But eventually science was thankfully saved through the multiverse theory. One of these theories stated there is an ocean of an infinite number of universes and so even if most are chaotic some will eventually become orderly. Now here we are before the 22nd century and I ask why am I alive? it could be that I am dead now, if my life is truly to be in or around 75 ye…

    Lets do a thought experiment... Lets say that in some lab somewhere (don't matter where or what kind of lab it was) an effect was discovered that indicated that during or as a result of some experiment a connection was made with aliens doing a similar experiment somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. Lets just say for the sake of argument a device meant for something else started vibrating in a non random way and it turned out to be aliens with a similar device making our device vibrate. It turns out to be a code based in math and we are able to decipher it and it not only turns out to be from another galaxy but the communication between devices is instantaneous. Wou…

  13. Here are some aspects of relationships between location and energy: 1. To change an object's location requires energy. If an object has velocity relative to something else (such that relative location changes), it has potential energy. To change velocity requires a transfer of energy. 2. In a Bose-Einstein condensate, which has very little thermal energy, the location of particles becomes undefined. Particles act as if they are simultaneously everywhere in the matter. 3. If an object falls into a black hole, light from it is redshifted indefinitely. Is it reasonable to say that one wavelength of the light is simultaneously traveling to our eyes at c, and stuck…

    Nothing is none at all but if we look into reality 'nothing' is not nothing at all actually. Why, what's in nothing at all? Nothing has time element actually, for example look at those who are already dead they are already nothing but still time is running for them, we know that they are already 50 years dead or 50 years nothing. So we can say that 'nothingness' is moving or changing because it has time. So is there a possibility that 'nothing' can produce a thing?

    Think of your cerebral cortex as a big pyramidal hierarchy. At the base of the hierarchy are your senses and motor systems. At the top is the brain structure which encodes long term memories, the seahorse-shaped hippocampus. The whole pyramid is built out of structures called neocortical columns, that sit around analyzing patterns, classifying them, grouping them, and feeding their conclusions up the hierarchy, through innumerable other neocortical columns, up toward the hippocampus. The higher you go, the more abstract the information the neocortical columns are dealing with. They're classifying and grouping patterns in ever-increasing levels of abstraction. Inform…

Let's say that in 11 years time I suddenly wake up on a fine day and go , Eureka ! . I've just had a brilliant thought that explains the previously inexplicable and it's , as far as I'm concerned , my contribution to world knowledge . But unbeknown to me I've just regurgitated the forgotten ramblings of a long since forgotten poster from here and now . Am I commiting plagiarism if I genuinely think this is my work or would I possibly independently be discovering something worthwhile ?

    love is love, sex is sex. why can't women separate love and sex? There is only one reason that women can't get orgasm whenever they want by their sex nature. In my eyes, I think love is love, sex is sex. There is no necessary relationship between the two. Sex is like eating, drinking or shitting. You should do it every day when you need, but you never fall in love with food, water or toilet. Do you understand? I don't know why it is so easy for me, but it is so hard for other women. When I fall in love with somebody, I want to be with him all time, and I care about everything about him. I would like to share every minute with him. When we kiss, I can…

    If the periodic table can be extended to increasingly larger atomic numbers, I was wondering if such heavy atoms could survive longer under certain conditions. If they are subject to very little radiation/energy, could the resulting calm/cold allow them to remain intact longer? Are there absolute conditions that govern the possibility of such large atoms remaining intact anywhere or could there be huge atoms floating around that will only split if triggered in some way? edit: could such atoms form very strong bonds because of their large electron shells, and if so could being more strongly bonded together chemically stabilize them against decay?

    If indeed there are extra dimensions beside the three spatial and time, as indicated by string theory, then these must have a profound effect on the electro magnetic basis for the current model of neuro networks. Could it be that thought, thinking, memory and consciousness are housed in the folded dimensions indicated by string theory and the electric firing of neuroma is a discharge much like lightening in a thundercloud? That of course should have read - neurons! Damn productive ticks!

    women also have refractory period after a real female orgasm After sex, men typically are lethargic and completely relaxed, and immediately roll over and going to sleep and they become unresponsive to sexual stimulation and can't get into another excitement phase until some period of time has elapsed. This recovery time is called refractory period. But no research has found that women have refractory period after female orgasm. Why is it? The answer is easy women never get a real female orgasm, they get a fake orgasm. Those women who claim that they can get multiple orgasms during one session are all deceived by themselves. They even don't know what …

But is the Earth really all that perfect or is the Earth the equivalent of a desert with a mere shadow of the life that would be possible with more of everything the Earth already has. Life in the desert scrub land of the South West US has an amazing variety, if you had never seen a tropical rain forest or anything but those desert scrub lands you might come to the conclusion that those scrub lands are perfect for life, from giant cacti to annual flowers that carpet the landscape in color thi…

    I think that a black hole might be the result of the proton, electron, and neutron, all being gravitationaly pressed into the void of the strong (nuclear) force. It just seems that a nuclear exposion has a lot incommon with black holes. A black holes probably a nuclear implosion. What do ya think? IF not, what would a nuclear force field look like floating around in space? and what would it do differently?

  24. My proposition stands on the assumption that Time and Space are physically created by an electromagnetic process of expansion and/or extension to be identified with the existing electromagnetic spectrum. With reference to the speed of light used as a term in linear and non-linear equations, I would now like to submit for further evaluation what I have here rightly or wrongly called <incongruent function>. Let us then see first what happens in the radiative field of the Scottish mathematician James Clerk Maxwell. In the linear field, all electromagnetic radiations are characterized by the linearity of the field which does not posses a binding energy and which runs …
