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.

    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…

  5. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. The universe for example is a huge system of self repetitive actions of Numbers Space and Light, who are the three basic quantities of nature by which all things consist and are subject to for as long as any reality exists. However to explain how the universe came into being and how it now operates, I would have to explain some fundamental facts about mater and energy. The most common explanation about matter is that matter is anything that possesses 'mass' and occupy 'space'. Now from this very simple description one can clearly see that matter is perceived as a composition of two quantities, mass and space, both of which are scalar in character, but according to the T…

    I have written a paper on the existence of the universe and the origins of Life. I can prove the contents of it way beyond a reasonable doubt in ANY court of opinion, scientific, religious or otherwise. You will find the contents very shocking. The most shocking document ever written, I assure you. I want to email it to somebody and discuss it with them. My email address is jjeffobrien@comcast.net and I live in the Boston area.

    I have heard that scientists looks out to about 4 billion light years from our position, and claim to see what the universe looked like near the beginning of the universe. But what if there are beings out there looking back at us and assuming that the Milky Way galaxy is 4 billion light years from their position, so we are what it looked like close to the big bang?

    Here below a graphic representing the twin paradox in Minkowski space-time. The diagram is supposed to be valid for the Frame Of Reference of the non moving observer, spending time doing nothing from point O to point A, while the spaceship travels from O to B, then makes a U-turn and comes back to Earth at point A. Here is the problem I want to discuss: When the spaceship arrives at point B, at half the travel, and makes the U-turn, the observer on earth at point H cannot see it simultaneously. He will observe the U-turn after a while, from point M. At point H, 50 days have passed, and the spaceship is not observed at point B. At point M, 75 days hav…

    With reference to the Unified Field Theory or Theory of Everything, a possible solution is here suggested in an attempt to come out from the impasse in which Science finds itself. Notwithstanding the time and the talent thrown in to try to incorporate gravitation as portrayed by General Relativity with the Standard Model describing the quantum mechanical nature of the other three fundamental interactions, the road showed itself to be a dead end road. The persisting interest of Einstein and the pledge of others since the beginning of last century did not give any results; there hasn’t been a way to unify these two physical aspects of the universe. The four forces of natur…

    The Fair Weather Current (FWC) of meteorological concern demonstrates Earth’s negative charge, and is taken here to suggest that the so-called ionosphere might be a bubble-like strata of electrons. It seems common sense that such electrons would hover above the atmosphere due to mutual repulsion from each other and from a negatively charged Earth. As we know, the ionspheric bubble remains deflected away from our sun, indicating that the sun itself must be charged toward the same polarity. Our expectations for prevailing composition of the solar wind should be of electrons. Solar flares, as eruptions of plasma would throw in a mix of protons on occasion. For the sun to…

    I have heard that time dialates the closer you get to a black hole. And right at the event horizon time stops from the perspective of an outside observer. So, does this mean that, from our perspective nothing has ever fallen to a supposedly feeding black hole?

  18. He basically suggests that to survive the coming technological singularity, we'll have to merge with AI machines in a synthetic evolution, or some such nonsense. He also suggests that: I don't think this is how evolution works. I don't think that it is going along a path to create a god-like entity, only change better suited for the current environment. Is he right? And also, as a random aside, would an AI that had achieved singularity level intellect still be able to understand anything like humans? Or would they transcend us?

    I know light is the speed limit. Nothing can go faster than light! That is why this is in speculations.... So, here we are: When an airplane goes faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves bunch up and create a shockwave. If one were to go up to or faster than the speed of light, would the light waves start to bunch up and create a shockwave of light? Think about a bunch of condensed photons traveling across the land ravaging everything in its path..... yeah That is how you make a death ray, except you're gonna have a bit of trouble trying to go that fast....

    To the Scienceforms Manager: I have developed a paper, A Constructive Model of Gravitation. This is based on analogies between mechanics and electrodynamics, and not on General Relativity. I have suggested an experiment to determine the sign of antimatter gravitational ass, which would help in deciding between this model and GR. This paper is on the website of the General Science Journal. In that regard I have a request. Will you permit me to put this paper on the Science Forums website? My sole desire is to solicit comments. (It’s okay, I am thick skinned.) If you wish to see the paper before hand, I can e-mail it to you. If you so decide then, how wo…

    Several years ago I proposed that mass x radius = constant ; at that time I tried and failed to apply this equation to composite particles. Later the equation was amended to mr = G/2. At this point swansont advised a course of action that was beyond my ability; but as the core of my proposal is a balanced force field, I set out to show that electron shells of atoms of the elements are balanced force fields. Having achieved that I was at a loose end until I came across a table of eight baryons; on enquiry swansont replied that these were the most commonly found baryons. Next I submitted the same table extended to show that baryon mass multiplied by the adjusted ra…

    Hello everyone, My goodness but this question was on my mind, and on my lips, from the time I was born! Thank God, my darling (irreplaceable) mother, was hugely brilliant and highly spiritually evolved! Because, today, I not only know who I am and where I come from, but also have a fair idea as to where I'm going. So, thank God, I have no more questions in that regard. Yet, to help others, who don't know. There is only one direction in which I can point you, namely in the direction of: The Lost Book of Enki by Zecharia Sitchin. Read this (expertly-deciphered) book, and all your questions will be answered! Essentially so tired of reading the (excessively worde…

  24. If homosexuality is something that is genetically passed on, which culture/race will have the highest concentration of homosexuals within their population? I understand in Iran, they say that there's no homosexuals there. Could it be the case that in the Middle-East, that all the people who carried the genes for homosexuality got prosecuted to well ehm, extinction? I know in religious countries there's a fair bit of pressure to marry and make babies, but would homosexuals males in the Middle-East be able to pull of the idea that they're really straight and pull an erection when required (and a similar case for females)? If homosexuality is passed on genetically, w…
