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.

If the theory of parallel universes is true then I realized that within this infinite vast sea of universes there is an infinite number of universes in which are exact copies of our universe. So the matter of these universes could be identical to our universe yet you cannot have exact copies in terms of consciousness because if that was true we would experience an infinite number of lives rather than just one. So consciousness has the ability to be individual yet matter cannot be individual so consciousness is not just a random event developed by matter it has its own laws of physics in some sense.

According to physicists once we reach a Type II civilization stage nothing known to science can destroy us. only ourselves of course or another Type II or Type III civilization and yet the second law of thermodynamics confirms we must end someday. Nothing lasts forever! But this means we must end by destroying ourselves or another Type II or Type III civilization will destroy us. And the only way a civilization can destroy itself or destroy another civilization is either via a disaster or a war. Yet I doubt a single disaster could wipe out an inter-stellar or perhaps inter-galactic civilization. So the conclusion from this is that our civilization if we survive to become …

I am not a physicist by any means; I am just any armaturewho has an interest in theoretical physics. Since time and space are one and the same, would it not be the case that the standard time of the universe would be determined by the rate of expansion of space/time? I do not mean a standard time in an absolute sense;time is relative to the observer, as I understand it. What I mean is for objects in space, which are relatively stationary, or move slow enough that the relative time these objects experience is nearly identical to the relative time experienced by all other nearly stationary objects in space. If I understand correctly, that the speed of the observer (t…

I was thinking about how time and space is consistent no matter how it is observed (related to this post: http://www.sciencefo...rves-spacetime/). As an example, suppose you could shrink the universe down to a very small size. It would continue to function consistently with the relationship between time and space being determined by the value c. You may see the universe as small, but others who may perceive it differently may see it as immense. I think this is exactly what would happen if you were to somehow "step outside" the universe. You would perceive it as small (as a black hole, I believe), while others inside it would see no change in space or time. …

Hey! For a couple of months ago I came up with a new hypothesis about how our universe was created, and made a video describing it. I am not talking about the big bang, but how the big bang was created. I have even found the answer to the question why our universe is accelerating using this hypothesis. I have also discovered if we live in a multiverse or not. But I just don't have the skills to investigate this hypothesis further, as I dont have any education in science or physics. The video is a 6 minute long video that describes my hypothesis broadly, which I hope you will take a look at and examinate. It must be said that the video is only the basics for the…

who are we? I think physics should try answer these questions much more deeply, it would seem quantum physics maybe the field to look into, although I am theorizing that maybe the true us is not produced by the brain but by something else we just haven't discovered, whatever this something else maybe I believe it maybe the experiencer, it has one ability, to experience and at birth some force created by an alive biology attracts this something else and then that something else aka the true us or experiencer experiences all the brain does. The brain/body work together to perform five major actions: 1. Observe/Sense the external world 2. Inherit the information and…

We are all traveling in time already. There are many ways and means allready available to manipulate time. There is thermo dynamic time dialation, there is gravitational time dialation, and there is relative velocity time dialation, and acceleration time dialation. Light in water slows down, therefore time in water slows down, just a fraction but still. Time traveling into the future is no mystery. Time traveling into the past should be just as easy. If we take off and accelerate to one quarter the speed of light relative to earth say for a two month loop in space. The earth would be older than two months old upon retutn. We've traveled into the future. Simple and a…

I simply have to throw this out, not as a solution; only conjecture. And any proof that I'm wrong is humbling, not devestating. I can live with that, but to simply tell me I'm wrong by your use of terminology and math beyond my grasp, is (B.S.) Someone bring this back in laymans terms and you have made a friend. If not, watch, listen and perhaps even you may learn something. By the way, I believe our magnetic universe, was infinately designed, long before the first "Big Bang".

Photon and anti-photon concepts are discussed on the main stream physics. But it have not been discussed that photon disappearing after colliding with other particles. To describe this phenomena we introduce new concept "primal mass". Photon has +1/2(E/C2) and anti-photon has -1/2(E/C2). When photons collide with other particles, photon and anti-photon are annihilated together, and make energy. Using this concept we can explain next photon problems. 1) Photon and anti-photon concept. 2) Photon disappearing after colliding with other particles. 3) Photon mass , i.e., everyone state that "why photon has no mass?". Particle and massless problem.

What would happen if you sent a chain of nukes into the middle of a black hole and exploded them in a manner of frequency? Do you think it'd cause some pretty cool waves? Think we could slap them together and get her to spit out some mass like an atom ejecting a photon?

I used graphical analysis to described referenced time. The formulas create a relationship between the observer and the observed. I used them to describe several elements of observation with an experiment at the end to determine if the analysis is valid. http://www.fileswap.com/dl/xWHSeD9A/Time.odt.html

I am going to try this again. The first postulate of relativity requires that all physical laws must be the same in all inertial reference frames. The second postulate follows directly from the first and requires that the speed of light must be the same in all reference frames. Instead of using this drawing for X=0 to derive a transformation: We will instead use this drawing, and derive a general equation for all of 3-space. (note: Z co-ordinate is not shown here. The end equation is only x dependent.) Solve for X=0, you get the same result. However, substitute for t^2C^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2 and you get, Drop the Z co-ordinate …

Okay I'm not an expert in this area, I have no college degree's yet. I'm not a genius. But I have a theory. I have been interested in human evolution and I have always been fascinated by our history.......The human time line to my understanding would be about 7 millions years or more (to the best of my understanding). During this span of time there has been about 15 different species of human beings. Looking back through our history of human evolution we have seen dramatic changes in our DNA, from sahelanthropus tchadensis to homo neanderthal. So what I'm getting at is has anyone ever theorized what type of human species is next to evolve? Are we evolving into somet…

I've probably misunderstood something, so if you could help me understand I would appreciate it. If time is relative, how can we actually say how old the universe is? It may be 13.7 billion years old for us, but couldn't it be different somewhere else? These are the questions that haunt me

I have a good reason to show how being consciouslly aware of reality maybe possible even after we are apparently died: First of all what makes you, you? 1. A certain configuration of atoms 2. A brain created by this configuration of atoms 3. A certain place in space & time Now this would suggest you could only live once because exact copies in terms of atomic configurations to you if they existed would not be you because they are seperate in space & time. But if this is true, then when you move true time you are not you anymore and if you move through space then you don't exist anymore, but that it is not true, because when I move from point A to…

In the standard rubber-sheet analogy, a 'gravity hyper-force' pulls down on matter placed upon the rubber-sheet, which represents the fabric of spacetime. When multiple masses near each other, that 'gravity hyper-force' draws those masses together, since, when combined, the resulting larger mass sags down deeper, deeper down into the 'gravity hyper-force potential' (as it were). This qualitatively describes the 'like attracts like' effects of gravity interactions. Q: Is it legitimate, to try to extend GR, to EM-like interactions (like repels like, opposites attract), by 'reversing' the 'direction' of the 'hyper-force', from the amplifying & exaggerating gravity-…

I cannot comprehend how I just exist, like I know where my biology came from, but I within, my conscious awareness of reality seemed to come from nowhere, like a certain state creates a living thing but what defined that one of them would be me? Why am I experiencing this body? why am I experiencing at all? I know my body creates my experience but whose to say that another body couldn't have produced by consciousness? I know its hard to understand, but I just cannot comprehend how one can experience the world around them, while complete seperate beings experience a completely different perspective of the world. The idea that my brain just created by consciousness is t…

I was just thinking, maybe time doesn't merely exist but there is only the present that exists, and yet through space & motion objects can continuously alter & change this one moment feels eternal and yet because we can change it thanks to space & motion we get an illusion that there is a sense of flowing time. Time travel to the future is just speeding up your motion through space. But if you wanted to return to 2010, you can still somewhat do it, for 2010 was just a certain configuration of matter in space, and not an actual time so if you reconstructed the way everything was in 2010 down to the atomic scale, that would be the best way to time travel and…

"Because Einstein said so?"! As much as I respect his genius, we succumb to a trap of servitude at his behest. There are many great minds out there today who agree and disagree with Dr. Einstein. But who is right? Few want to move from the status quo, so remain ignorant of their own potential and genius because of this rigidity, leaving a possible earth shattering expertise in limbo. Just a question though? Do manifolds and tensors actually apply to "Time and Space Dilation"? If so, would someone please explain them to me: as to Why and How?

Reaction to anecdotes of transcendent episodes range from dismissive characterizations as psychotic events to conviction that they are authentic testaments to a direct experience with God- the professional skeptics which include the science orthodoxy favoring the first view with experiencers (which includes some scientists) convinced of the latter. The advent of theoretical quantum physics has created an ontology by which such events are considered in scientific discussion particularly in regards to the fields of quantum mind and consciousness. Some years ago I experienced what can fairly be described as a classical transcendent episode (spontaneously triggered by…

I link to a post made by Athene http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/54316-athenes-discovery-c-h-f/ I have to say I was inspired to finally make my move after listening to this. After about seven years I developed a system of unification whose new system of physical analysis was based on the equation x=d/d(t). That all things can be physically be described as the evolution of a system(displacement) with respect to time frame. In that post Athene correctly identifies people as a base component in the universe and things such as neurons are in fact part of unification. This is something I have never seen before as this movie hits just about every taboo note in physics whi…

A different look at the big bang theory Part 1-The environment time clock (E.T.C) 1. In the beginning, before the universe came into beingthere was an object. How big it was, how small it was, nobody can tell becauseapart from that object there was nobody,no space, no time, no other object, there was nothing to measure it with oragainst it.Without any space beyond it,how can we say whether it was round orsquare or any shape,the best we can say it could be a singularity. 2. Withinthis object, time started moving and simultaneously the Big Bang also started,Initially time moved slowly and gradually picked up speed which it has beendoing till now. The Big…

I've recently found that after Bohr model there was introduced by Gryzinski classical model in which electrons make almost radial free-fall trajectory to the nucleus, which due to magnetic moments is bent by Lorentz force and so the electron goes back to the initial distance. This model is a natural consequence of classical scattering theory developed by the author. In almost 20 peer-reviewed papers in the best journals he claims to show that these using just Coulomb and Lorentz force models give really good agreement with experiment (in opposite to Bohr). These conceptually simple calculations were verified and approved by many world class reviewers, so one could t…
