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.

and he figures out human cognition. And then realizes that physics hasn't solved the universe precisely because of how human minds works. So he solves it. Stunned. How would you feel? I cook up this theory that matches all known data . . .but I do it in outer space. I'm working out how the universe has to drive itself, why you would "think" there was dark energy, how you could possibly explain light, and what the heck gravity is. Along the way *time* falls into place. Time. I get a rock solid theory that connects all those things together . . . but have no equation. I go to a physics forum and get kicked off for being a crackpot. I find another for…

1. How and why area 51 was started in the first place. Which is not what most people currently think which is "that it is somehow connected to UFO's..." I believe that Nikola Tesla's "dynamic theory of graivty", "unified field theory" which he was intending to publish shortly after he died on 7 January 1943. Which was confiscated by a director of the FBI per Allen J McLean instruction (The head of naval intelligence at the time of Tesla's Death. Proof of the document can be shown in a documentary that I'm still working on here http://www.truedeity.com/ev2.wmv ) I've heard of attempts by people that tried to use the freedom of information act to uncover these docu…

Before entering into the argument proper, just a few words to specify two points. (1) we shall be dealing with mass-energy equivalence clearly formulated by the equation in question which came to be known as «the most famous equation» not because of the aforesaid equivalence, but because of its association to nuclear fission and its property of quantifying the missing mass into the released energy during fission. (2) although the equation was tested for energy release from nuclear reaction in 1933, and definitely associated to nuclear fission and rendered famous after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, from the outright start Einstein himself in his 19…

Imagine a being who's sensory system is tied directly to its memory. Hardwired. All five senses sequentially writing data. Photographically. Add to this being a brain that evolved for millions of years under evolutionary pressure to logically extrapolate the sensory input as rapidily and as far into the future as possible. A necessity to outwit the other beings in its environment. That are under the same evolutionary pressure. To out logically extrapolate them. Imagine a being at the peak of this evolutionary battle.

Perhaps the momentum of proton vibration travels through the velocity time dialation (existing between the nucleous of the atom and the elctron) as a whipping motion back and forth on it's three dimensional paths. Perhaps it even acts like a tunnel that allows fundamentle electic charge to travel in a quantum fashion to the edge. If the photon is, as I suspect, a momentum wave caused by the dance of a couple of quarks, then we will find the gravatron riding the crest of the wave, in a similar fasion to the electron riding the crest of the present time waves, and the photon riding the crest of distance past. I believe that distance is created by the gravity snaping …

:doh:The most probable theory about the Dinosaurs Extinction by Laurent GRANIER, Master Philosopher, Theoretician. The One Multi- Hypothesis: Domino Effect about Dinosaurs Extinction (DEDE) The explanation of the Dinosaurs Extinction by a Variation of the Earth Gravity « The HypothesiS » ...How and why the Earth gravity has necessary changed. The first cause was the meteor collision. This impact was always considered with a vertical direction. But, there is less chance to have been like this than to have an angle. It’s logical, there are more angular values than the one 90 °! An impact can be with a perfect perpendicular axle, of near, under two pos…

I'm curious as to where my own beliefs and expectations are relative to my "peers". This poll is aimed mainly at fellow speculators for which I assume the following are true: - The topic you're speculating on is not related to your main area of work/study (unless working independently full-time on your theories). - You're more interested in developing a new idea on a topic than understanding all existing knowledge on the topic. Thanks for your input!

Proposal; Human have two cognitive modes. From when you are born until you develop emotions you are in a logical cognitive mode. As you develop the ability to manipulate symbols you are in an "in between" mode with logic and symbolic settling which is in control. "normal" is when symbolic mode developes early in childhood. As you age and "learn" symbols you gain enough skill to settle fully into the symbolic mode. These are evolutionary logical modes. The homo sapien evolutionary step was to add this "backwards error sorting" to their memories. This prioritizes some memories over others. With an ability to prioritize memory (WATSON like) we gained the ab…

they predicted that it would come from an unexpected vector http://tinyurl.com/3hv4tnn Please please please Shoot it down. It makes sense to me but *is* a logic model. experimental data that already exists and that can confirm or deny would be nice. . . Cool, I just got my theory kicked off of physics forum for being speculation. Glad you guys have a place for the inquisitive mind . . .

Preamble: This piece comes with a tenured understanding and perspective that not every PHD has. One would have to understand the maturing phase of relativistic thinking. Only someone who is old enough to understand for example where both the eastern school of thought arrives, and western schools of thought collides, and how they can be woven together and made to work. Someone like that would be my intended readers. One of the things that I like to get people to understand about the reality is that you have a certain level of control within that reality. I will try to go ahead and explain how certain leaps of understanding are made to get you to these basic laws.…

I am not a scientist, but I have a theory about a couple of different things when it comes to the origin of our universe. My ideas seems to be fairly original, yet simple. I believe that the Sun gave birth to all of the planets, one by one. That the sun spits out a large ball of plasma every 80 billion years or so resulting in a new planet. Each planet is an offspring of the sun on an outward journey away from it. A ball of molten plasma exploding out into space, spinning and slowly cooling until the outer crust forms. Basically the planets are a timeline of what happens to a ball of plasma shot out of the sun. Ball of plasma-cools-crusts over, spins from its source,…

! Moderator Note Split from http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/54440-how-to-create-energy/ A very interesting topic. According to physical science, energy must be eternal, it must have always existed and will always exist. The basic form of energy is a photon, an electro-magnetic radiation travelling at the speed of light; it is a quantum particle with a quantity of energy that is a Plank constant. All physical matter and different forms of energies are constituted by quantum particles. The fact that energy in its basic form, is eternal is also show by Einstein relativity theory which holds for the principle of "time dilation" which holds that for any object trav…

Hi: What would happen to my body if it were subjected to genetically-engineering to focus on cellular maintenance as opposed to cellular reproduction/growth? In this theoretical situation, none of the cells of my body die unless exposed to physical injury from external sources -- such as cuts, burns, toxins. However, none of these cells reproduce or grow either. Also, in this possible-but-unlikely scenario, no part of my body experiences any inflammatory response to any circumstance. From the molecular to the cellular to the systemic level there is never any inflammation to any extent no matter how irritated any cell/tissue is. To make matters more interes…

Say you were to attempt to travel between multiple universes. Perhaps by traveling back in, and subsequently altering time, thereby causing you to exist in a universe parallel to your origin (as is stated in one theory). Now, it is generally accepted as a law that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total amount of matter in the universe must be a constant. But if you were to travel between multiverses, you would be reducing the amount of matter in your origin universe and increasing it in your destination universe. My question is, how would this be possible? Does the law of conservation consider all possibly existing universes, therefore negating any …

One "BIG BANG" or a Cyclical Universe At a point in time some thirteen to fourteen billion years ago, our universe supposedly became such, and continues speeding along at a seemingly vectorial constant. Questions of contention are; Into what is it flying? Is it a closed or open system? Will entropy be the end of it? If so, why and how will that end happen? Can it be said without equivocation that a GENESIS did not occur at that precise moment those aeons ago, as merely the half cycle of a continuously pulsating "universe"? In a word, is our world "eternal", or just passing through? Since there is no possible way of proving or disproving such conjecture, I would l…

I recently have had an experience, I am not siding with any of the possibilitys until proof is at the table. Last night i had an experience where i woke and could not move at all, also a very loud sound was in my ears. Following that my eyes would not open and kept on convulsing which was very scary indeed. And then i had a sensation that i was floating over my night stand face down. About that time i was able to break the sensation and start moving i was wet. Just on my head, My hair was soaked i dont know if it was. My wife awoke to scramble and it scared her more than me. I was concious the entire time of this experience, so i do not believe it to be a dream due to …

I started to post this in Molecular Biology, but as I started to think about it, I thought that it would probably be better to post here because of the speculation factor involved. I have no real scientific background other than the courses I took in school, and I was not an "A" student. But I was not a class dunce either. I love a good puzzel, and so I did well enough to pass my classes, and over the years I developed enough of a better understanding of the different diciplines, that when greater minds than mine start takling about certain things in their specific sciences, I can at least follow along and get their point. So here goes. My mother just passed away this…

Could the planets be a timeline? Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all are comprised of similar elements and cores. Tiny, hot Mercury, little ball of iron, slowly turning to ash or dirt on Venus, spewing out its fire, condensing and expanding like Earth, until it burns out and dies like Mars Then an asteroid belt. Remnants of an planet breaking apart, perhaps Mars will break apart as it dies, or blow up? Then the asteroid belt begins rolling together and forming a gas giant as elements collide, and eventually rotate to look like Jupiter, as gases fade, rings remain like on Saturn, shrinking, freezing as they reach the cold confines of space. Shrinking, freez…

A light is so eternal and so spiral and so growing, so a light in Andromeda differs from a light from milkyway, but dark light itself cannot grow cause it only rided by the ridee (quark). The evolution of dark light and dark matter itself cannot reach by mind, so I try to empiris it: Dark Energy equals Dark Matter mulitply by Dark Matter (2) and multiply again by Dark Matter (2). The evolution of milkyway itself cannot be seen but can be proofed by a form of a new galaxy from a galaxy, the previous life of galaxy before had a genetic which is evolute, right after supernova a galaxies form a new galaxy which is can be more higher evolution or lower evolution or …
