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.

Is it possible to extract data from within an event horizon using a wormhole? We could send a probe with the mouth of a wormhole into a black hole(accelerating the entire way if possible to minimize tidal forces) and use the wormhole to send back a signal. I can already see a few problems: Is there enough usable energy available to humans to create a stable macroscopic wormhole? Gravity might pass through the wormhole. Is it even geometrically possible to have the mouth of an Einstein-Rosen bridge on the singularity side of an event horizon? We don't know how to make a wormhole. Black holes are REALLY far away. Radiation passing through wormhole. Spaghettific…

Thisis a product designed by Inventions Designs & Concepts. But first a message. Backin the '1980' I dreamed of building a device now known as "FREEENERGY" while living in the dark in the "JVL Hood" as a Child. I seen thatmy design was too advance but I could not read or write and could not hear aswell as others. So now all the parts arehere. I present: Design by Inventions Designs & Concepts Snatching FREE ENERGY from QUARKS Look at this Design. (A) is a device I would like to call a"Lung" or "Hart" it pumps in and out if needed. The thingis that I never heard of such a device and recently found a company the produce"Carbon…

The below was my last post in a 'hijacked' thread about the 'end of space.' In review, I decided to share it on the least respectable section of this forum, "speculations" (and "pseudoscience.") Note: Speculative cosmology is not empirical science. Large scale cosmology beyond our vision (and "before the Bang" speculation) is not verifiable. Not all possible cosmologies are presently empirically observable/verifiable. Yet they may be possible. Replay: .... I do think the supernova remnant model would be an improvement over the balloon model, though... not like a perfectly spherical shell of a perfectly uniform thickness. And it is an actual explosion of material…

Have I made a misinterpretation or more somewhere? Information at hand (simplified): 1. Bing Bang shows that energy became matter. 2. Matter has 4 states depending on the speed of its molecules. (Solid, liquid, gas, plasma) 3. The faster the speed the closer to energy, and the slower the time. Conclusions (Simplified): 1. Matter is energy slowed down. 2. Everything is of the same energy, at different speeds and time. 3. Thus the Big Bang is really a slowing down of energy. I'm sure I have, if not why does it seem that way? For example, if the above is true, then wouldn't "The Big Freeze" be the o…

Hi this is my first post. I am no one special. I can't use grammer or spell properly, sorry. I would like to share something with you though. I'd like to share what I discovered on Google Earth and I made a youtube video of it. First I want to make something really clear please. It's this. AS A WHOLE, meaning the story I am sharing with you - my claim is I found the Garden of Eden AND as a WHOLE is the reason I'm saying I found it. Meaning ALL I discovered at this location makes it the Garden of Eden. Not some bit and pieces of something. It's the WHOLE locations story, that makes it the Garden of Eden. And as your watching the video, I would advise you…

Now my thinking is that when you die, you could wait an inumerable amount of years / universe births etc. until at some point your conciousness will be recreated in one form or another. So to me it seems that reincarnation is inevitable, because during the time you stop thinking, you will experience nothing until at some point you start to think again... However unlikely it may be that it happens. I'm sure what happens after death is discuessed here a lot, but I'd like to know what you guys thought?

(very rough draft, interested in feedback, just wanted to get these ideas out there) A Formal Proof that the Theories of Both Special and General Relativity Are Incorrect followed by A Comparison of a Turing Machine to the Physical Universe, The Human Concept of Time, and a Critique of Special and General Relativity by David Ephraim Formal Proof: Part 1 (the argument here is nothing new but sets the context for Part 2): The physical universe must consist of discrete space increments because otherwise, according to Xeno's paradoxes, movement would be impossible. To reiterate, the physical universe is not continuous in the Euclidean sense beca…

I think a thing awoke in me, that could be a new system of the body. With it I can influence my inner body systems. I can influence my entire body by will, even the brain. It seems, by my experience so far, that the thing is in specific order, that could be studied as a new system of the body, by which you can influence an entire body with will, no exercise, no meditation techniques needed. Perhaps one can influence even hormone flow at will. Could this be somehow useful, maybe even dangerous? I can fall asleep, by will, anywhere, or speed up anywhere I want by now. I think there is much more to dig up here than that... Luka

I should think that would depend on the definition of energy. Heres my analogy: to create an IC (integrated circuit) we must necessarily have metal to manipulate into tracks and transistors to manipulate the throughput (changing the energy) but to create or discover the logical manipulation is the actual creation of energy because you have physically created something that didnt before hand exist (essentially creating a new system), this takes the same approach as pragmatism whereby we progress from past experience and try to take into account our own experience and then build on and create thing's that wouldnt otherwise exist (without the progression of past knowled…

Are scientists afraid to give their opinions in science because they don't want to be seen to go against the ' knowledgeable ' crowd ? Is this preventing the exploration of new idea's ? This is an open thread but it may be better if the ' usual suspects ' kept their opinions to themselves . I will not reply to any poster who has previously engaged in disputed discussion with me .

I have a speculative idea about wormholes. Let's say that a person (or anything for that matter) was able to pass through one, traveling through space, but also through time. If the wormhole mouths were close together, this would obviously cause some problems in terms of causality. If they were on either side of a regular sized room, then it would be possible for the person to emerge in the very recent past and stop themselves from entering the wormhole in the first place, creating a paradox. I believe this is one reason that some theorists believe time travel is not possible. But if the only reason for discounting time travel (specifically for a wormhole in terms of …

I was reading a small article and it was speaking about Helium 3, the benifits of it for energy seem well worth the trip to the moon. Why are we not doing this? Any imput on or someone fimiliar with h3 please comment. Thanks.

Light as a wave needs a medium of propagation. The aether is the medium through which propagate light waves. Light shows a surprising number of properties that were difficult to explain relatively to the aether, but which must appear as naturals, a normal result of the properties of aether. The aether must support the phenomena related to light, particles and their interactions. 1) The first property of light is the fact that it is a transverse wave. The light spreads inside the aether, so should be a longitudinal wave. Also, given the enormous velocity of light, the aether should have a considerable density, so it should be detectable. How is it possible …

I have been watching this Mass bird death on the news and it has hit many headlines. So far from what ive read it has happend in ark, 100,000 drum die in the ark river and more birds in louisanna and now sweeden. I have been trying to piece together an answer but everytime i seem to be on somthing it falls apart. Just wondering if anybody has heard of this and if so, any rational thoughts or reasons as to why this is happening? And also for that matter if it was just focused on because it's the first thing to really happen in 2011. And the only explanation given so far is fire work displays, but if thats the case wouldnt their be more of this every holiday regarding firew…

As per article http://news.discovery.com/space/earth-like-planet-life.html If this has been discoverd then why would we presume any further that life does not exist off our planet? And to the same accord is it feisable to inhabit such planet someday?

What's an atoms nucleous made of ? I'm not asking what's in there, but what are the "walls" made of? It must be extrememy strong to contain all that explosive power. Is this shell some kind of dimensional barrier of some kind ? Some kind of quantum force field? The surface tension between the quantum world and the real world? Does anybody know?

Could an indestructible function be able to transform every " known" constant to a double precession? And could the h constant hold more discrete values of energy than we know of? The following below suggest this may be possible. Below is a "rare" finding of mine, I am very open to any comments at this point thus far. Thanks To All! c squared = 299.792.458 0.000370114 / 299.792.458 = 0.000001234 e = 2.718 0.000003355 / 2.718 = 0.000001234 Golden Ration = 1.6180 0.000001997 / 1.6180 = 0.000001234 Pi Ratio = 3.141592653 0.000003878 / 3.141592653 = 0.000001234

Firstly I don't subscribe to the thinking that we will be experiencing Armageddon conditions in 2012 but in saying that. I do think it would be remiss to not allow for some serious tectonic activity because when the precession of the equinoxes occurs and the change and shift in motion and direction of the wobble of the earth that twisting motion must be impacting the mantle. It would have to be having an impact on that. Where will be most affected is the curious bit in my view.

Doesn't it seem logical that electrons can't fall into the nucleus because doing so would cancel out their electrostatic charge and that would violate some conservation law? I know people hate the Bohr model and thus presumably every detail of it, but it makes sense that if an electron was orbiting the nucleus, it would accelerate the closer it came to that nucleus. This acceleration would result in greater momentum, which would function as more repellant force between electrons of different molecules when they collide. If the electron would continue to accelerating into the nucleus, it would build up momentum that couldn't be expressed as volume anymore, so it would h…

It isn't. In a double slit experiment, the moving particle has an associated dark matter displacement wave. The particle travels a single path and enters and exits a single slit. It is the associated dark matter displacement wave which enters and exits both slits. The associated dark matter displacement wave creates wave interference upon exiting the slits. As the particle exits a single slit, it is this wave interference which alters the direction the particle travels. Detecting the particle causes there to be a loss of coherence of the associated dark matter displacement wave, there is no wave interference, and the direction the particle travels is not altered.

This seems like more of a QP question than an issue for speculations, but since the issue appears to be somewhat mysterious as it emerges in other threads, I thought it might deserve its own speculations thread. My sense is that wave-quantization has something to do with the internal dynamics of force-fields. Like, if you would try to subdivide them in increments between their natural quanta that they would resist because of internal cohesion-force, like surface tension causes water to divide into rain drops. I would also guess that this quantizing force also influences how the electrons can interact with the nucleus, i.e. because there is an energy threshold that has …

Am I correct in saying that this theory says that the universe is splitting into all the possible outcomes the universe can create? From wikipedia: "According to the MWI, each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe. Suppose a die is thrown that contains 6 sides and that the result corresponds to a quantum mechanics observable. All 6 possible ways the die can fall correspond to 6 different universes." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse) If this is true, would that not mean that each person's consciousness / soul / life would be seperated into it's own universe, where everyone else is just a dummy with "no soul" if you like. Th…
