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.

    I had some ideas bouncing around in my head, when I suddenly realized this could only happen if the ideas were particles. These new particles are called "ideatons" and all consciousness is made up of them. Yes, I know the theory sounds obvious, but science requires incontrovertible proof and also numbers, so I went and discovered the empirical evidence of ideatons! What I did is: I weighed my head when it was empty, and then weighed it again when I was thinking some particularly "heavy" thoughts. I had to compensate for all the other "stuff" in my head (skull, hair, small amounts of air, etc), and I had to estimate the number of ideatons that made up the thoughts I w…

    I am developing an idea that all of reality is a dream, although it sounds crazy remember when you sleep you rarely doubt it as not real. I believe that this world is a sub-conscious created world. There is an infinite number of dream levels in my opinions and that you can only remember one level below the level you are currently in and each level you rise, events appear less likely in other words the world becomes more rational and more feasible. So the above dream level would be even more rational than this world and events are less likely. So the conclusion is that the more & more you rise up the dream level ladder of reality and eventually you reach a point we…

    I don't see how you could get something from nothing, but I've been thinking. Perhaps energies wich do not occupy time could have existed before time. Time stands still at the speed of light. Light is an ellectromagnetic wave if I remember right. So it's perfectly acceptable to think that electro magnetic "entities" exist outside of and before our universe (time). Things that exist outside of time probably wouldn't have to obey the rules of time unless moving through a "pool" of time at wich point they have to travel on a wave of time. That moves at the speed of light. I believe that a photon (While swimming through our universe), is just an electromagnetic desturbance…

  4. Yes, I know that electrostatic attraction drops off at a greater rate with distance from the nucleus than gravity. However, I'm still wondering if residual electrostatic attraction could explain gravity. My speculative reasoning is this: as a body of matter grows, the number of protons in the body increases faster than the number of electrons. This is because molecular bonding causes many electrons to be shared. Thus, I think it could be said that any body of matter will have some surplus of proton charge relative to electron charge. Since the charges balance out via atomic and molecular configurations that neutralize relative ionization through bonding/motion, ther…

    I'm just curious how many others have the same opinion of our species' future as I do; what do you think the chances are that the human race will still be around come the 3rd millennium? I personally think there's virtually zero chance of that given how we're destroying our planet, eradicating the diseases that keep our population in check, sweeping all new energy technologies that could replace oil/gas under the rug, wasting tens of trillions of dollars on designing new weapons, and other similar acts. In my opinion, our species has a very bleak future, indeed.

  8. After more thought on black hole singularities being coordinate singularities (or if I'm using the term wrong, rather: singularities that disappear depending on where you view them from), I figure that the solution that makes the most sense is that, uh... Say you're outside a black hole and that most of its mass is in the singularity, but not all of it is. As you pass the event horizon and approach the singularity, suppose that rather than the singularity disappearing, that more and more of its mass appears as "normal matter" outside the singularity, which itself becomes less massive. You could approach it "forever" as it expands spatially the closer you are to it, an…

    The big bang is probably a result of a fractile projection formed and emulating from more original life force energies. Life itself, creating. Time and light energy are the tools of the trade. Life can only come from life and the living create all things. All life is divisions of this life force, and all things are divisions of energy and time. This "life, light, vacuum" energy is the same energy that makes up and vibrates the proton. All things together make up the body of infinity. The seventh and final dimension in my ever evolving model of the universe. The chaos/rest dimension. I guess now I'll have to put it all together in a book sure to blow the minds of a…

    The only "particles" that are massless are those that are reflected. Thus any "thing" that is massless represents that which is an .."image. If i stand in front of a mirror my "real" self would be "considered" by physics theory to be a .."mass." My image would represent that which is "massless" Or the image in the reflection is NOT real ( "virtual"). If a relative observer was looking toward the mirror with no awareness of me relative to the plane of reflection( did not see me rather only the medium of glass reflecting my image.) he would conclude that at that location there was a geometric form that appears to have "mass." ( This is to say if this relative observer …

  16. Telepathy - how it works? Brain is sending signals to different parts of body but by some people signals are send out from their body to other human bodies. Voices , smell , thoughts and small muscles movements. I am telepathic I can exchange voice messages , video , people can move muscles on my body from distance and much more. The most of people do not believe this is possible but I exist. Maybe many people out there are just target for telepathic jokes but they think they are schizophrenic. It can be possible that many schizophrenic people just receive telepathic messages from some other person without any knowledge about it, also neither sender or receiver un…

    This is basically a question to be answered by standard physics but it seems like a speculative enough scenario to be put in speculations. Anyway, my thought was that EM waves (photons) can be of different amplitudes with the same wavelength. So as they move away from their source, they must stretch out in their area while getting thinner in their amplitude. So what happens if their amplitude is so great and the frequency so high that the amount of energy in a given volume of radiation exceeded the density of a particle of matter, like an electron? Would they then have to exert gravitation equivalent to that of a particle of matter of the same energy-quantity and volu…

    A previous posting here, “Exothermic migration of charged particles” has had time to draw any discouraging words but stands so far with no sustained contradictions. A mind experiment ventured to show that charged particles can join a Faraday cage without starting at an outside surface and so demonstrate that a traction exists to reposition them so as to be found according to the words of Michael Faraday about his ice pail. (Excess electrons arrived at the interior before release to the common premises of the Faraday cage and were saddled with a forceful migration process in order to fit his stipulation.) Such outward travel of electrons is demonstrated by the meteorol…

    If moving faster through space also makes you travel faster through time then maybe when observing the world if my left eye moves slightly faster than the right eye it would move slightly faster through time hence would receive information from the outside world faster than the right eye, so this could be the cause of déjá vu because you observe the same event twice in a row within a split second.

    I've lost my faith on evolution and here are some reasons why 1)Science cannot explain how could this process start with a "naturalistic" way.Abiogenesis(a hypothesis that life could be formed without the aid of a creator)has never been observed.But even if a type of Abiogenesis occured it would be impossible for this piece of life to survive alone on a hostile environment.But even if it could survive it would be impossible for this piece of Life to start reproducing asexually by luck.And even more nightmarish is how could sexual reproduction start.How the male, female copy emerged?In general this process is impossible to have started without the aid of an intelligent…

  21. Hello Science Enthusiasts, I'm posting for my friend Jerry who just posted a new entry on his blog. I don't do this every time he posts on his blog, but he's very excited about a new idea he has about how Black Holes merge and has been working on this particular post for quite some time. Even if you don't agree with his theory (or understand his theory...which is where my non-scientific mind is trapped), you may enjoy his perspective and his humorous writing style. Here are a couple of bits that may pique your interest. And as always, thank you for providing this forum for the exchange of ideas and the respectful friendly attitude. Jerry's blog is available at…

    The new Typology and Paradigm of science is presented in the article "Beyond the Abstractionist Paradigm of Physics". This is located at: http://home.spin.net.au/paradigm/beyond.pdf The Typology/Paradigm gives rise to the first law of the Universe, which states that "matter is constructed into higher forms through the absorption of emission within the context of the increasing density of impacting emission, and its stability is relative to the density of the impacting emission". This new Typology/Paradigm is in addition to the Abstractionist Paradigm of Physics. Discussion about the article can be conducted here is that is what is desired.

  25. Hello! With my first post (apart from one in the introduction thread) I'd like to ask anyone who's willing to answer what your expectations are for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)? For anyone who isn't familiar with the topic it's sometimes labeled as an Anti Matter detector and is meant to measure cosmic rays. The instrument is scheduled to launch together with the last flight of Endeavour. Samuel Ting who has worked with the project for 16 years has his hopes up for finding new aspects of space, and says there's a chance of the new discoveries to affect all our lives in the future. My question is, what do you think could be discovered in space tha…
