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.

According to many quantum physicists "belief" in an event, makes an event more likely to transpire in reality. Many individuals such as myself spot events in our dreams seemingly come true and yet how can this be? premonition? well I have much more scientific resolution than premonition perhaps when one enters into a dream there belief of that event increases because when you are dreaming of an event you believe it is real and that extreme belief in a mind-based event makes it much more likely to transpire in reality so when you awake the next morning you have already affected the likeleness of similar events occurring in real life and then similar events often do occur i…

I was pondering earlier in regards to magic, Their seems to be ( some ) evidence supporting the unexplainable. But most is proven illusions i know, However is it possible for levitation, disappearing whatever else is out there? Just a thought any comments or points of view would be helpful thanks.

Based upon information recently shared and/or learned I would like to suggest that a body of mass is a field of particles and particle structures (atoms) that share a unified time frame. Me and chair do not share the same time frame. Niether do we swap or share electrons. I can get up and walk across the room without breaking the chair because we exist on two seperate frames of time. I'd like to propose a thought experiment. We'll use the divisions of earth time for easy understanding. If we place two steel bars next to each other for a few hours not much will change. their independent time frames will not change much. We could pull them apart using a pretty much eqau…

When our universe began, supposedly it was accompanied by extreme heat in the millions or perhaps even billions of degrees Kelvin. Did this event actually take place? Who can say, other than scientists; who really want to solve the issue? For simplicity's sake and the fact we are here, assume it did happen as such. Being a pragmatist with nothing to accentuate or back up my reasoning, it's quite possible our world sprang from such a nothingness? If so, then wouldn't it be rational to assume it will return to that same nothingness? Don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with science or religon, yada yada; just a question. And all of this, from a primordial soup? Yes! I…

If time went backwards then would it even exist because from the moment time first ticked it wouldn't have ticked because it wouldn't be going forward so it wouldn't even reach its first tick yet if time had always went backwards then it wouldn't even exist, I know time doesn't go backwards but just imagine in a hypothetical universe time traveled backwards if that was true then time wouldn't even exist at all.

I've said before on these forums that "Why does mass curve spacetime?" was the last puzzle piece for myself having even the vaguest understanding of how gravity works. Finally I have an idea. So I retire from science. Assumptions: 1. Time and distance are perceptually defined. They appear different depending on how they are observed. At the speed of light, they are unobservable... they essentially disappear. I assumed that it's possible to describe a viewpoint or model in which they don't exist at all. I conjecture that they are not fundamental aspects of the universe, but only observational side-effects of a consistent, 2-dimensional universe. 2. This pretty mu…

A typical interpretation of the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment is that in one reality, the cat will die, and in another it will continue to live a long and prosperous life. If every probabilistic event has each outcome realized in a different reality, the butterfly effect implies that any 2 similar realities would quickly become very different. These could be called divergent alternate realities. Special relativity can describe a much milder interpretation. If we assume that any cat must at some time die, then relativity of simultaneity tells us that that moment isn't the same for all possible observers. It's possible that for one observer the cat is dead, and f…

I ask such a question simply because I haven't arrived at an answer. I've searched and searched into everything I can imagine and have yet to find anything conclusive. If someone has a viable answer, please let me know?

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…
