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.

What properties would a material need to be able to efficiently convert energy from a fission reaction into electricity? Let's say we had a device that used thin round plates of fissile material. The fissile material is well below critical mass, but you can stack them to achieve critical mass. Now imagine we have something called... idunno, a "Magischeibe" which is a flat disk that's stacked alternating with the fissile material like a voltaic pile. The Magischeibe can allow enough energy to pass through for the critical mass reaction, but is able to absorb a portion of the energy to convert to electricity. there's a couple potential ways to control the power ou…

Ok, so I've been pondering all the above for a while now. I've been considering, human evolution, development, advancements, consequences, purpose... I find it all very fascinating but also confusing, chaotic, sometimes troubling sometimes exciting, always wonderous. Like many people interested in science in general, I have considered all the questions, philosophy mainstream science, data and observations surrounding humanity, our place in the universe, our purpose (if there is one) and our future. I often wander from on idea to another from one belief (for want of a better word) to another swapping camps so to speak depending on the latest trend or data set or idea.…

Say you had a 1kg lead sphere that, by using a hypothetical form of antigravity, can be changed from a mass of 1g to 1t without affecting any other physical properties. if you pushed it so it was moving at say 1m/s then changed it's mass up or down; would the speed stay the same but the kinetic force changes, or would the kinetic force stay the same and the speed would change?

In my research of history, I have discovered that there have been cataclysms in the past so massive that they could not have been caused by terrestrial forces alone. Wanting to explain their cause, I became interested in the cosmos and discovered that the greatest cataclysms on Earth are caused by the magnetic influence of the planets. This discovery enables us to predict the date of earthquakes based on space weather. I'm new to astrophysics, so I'm ready to take all your remarks into consideration. Introduction This animation created by NASA shows the forecast of space weather in the solar system. At the top you can see the date and time of the forec…

This thread intend to get input about the connection between the three issues outlined in the topic...mainstream argument is highly welcomed and wild suggestions is appreciated. My take is this,you have two events in space-time with common origin such that t=t'=0 they are freefalling in the same space axis then you lorentz trasforms one event(t') towards to past the null line of the other(t)...the worldline of event(t') will be becoming closer to the null line from the upper part(increasing angle from time axis) while the space axis of event (t') will becoming closer to the null line from lower part(increasing angle from space axis),as the world line approaches the…

Please read the following sentences: "Gravity can only be explained by taking into account that there is a spacetime curvature." "The only proof of a spacetime curvature is gravity." "Because there is a god, we build a lot of churches." "If we build a lot of churches, there will be a god." "If the sun is shining today, I will ride my bike." "If I ride my bike, the sun will be shining." If you are interested in a new logical way to explain gravity, please send me a message, before this topic is being removed by the Einstein fanatics.

below paragraph is from the text New horizons in physics: Antigravitons or antiparticles of gravitons can be used in the construction of an antigravity drive because they probably generate antigravity. The propulsion of the antigravity vehicle will be a miniature anti black hole with an anti singularity inside, built from antiparticles to particles at the level of gravitons. Another possibility is a drive built with an anti singularity. So, visions of flying cars from science fiction movies can be put into practice.

In a nutshell, women can basically get sex more or less when they wish. There's other considerations but it's common knowledge that men ask, women choose. Hypothesize there's a means to introduce balance into that situation however. i.e. a situation where men can essentially exude sex appeal to the point that spontaneous sexual attraction that historically happens only for women, now happens for men. So it's possible that by example, men could start practicing as heterosexual prostitutes. That's pretty out there but this is somewhat philosophical, but with a strong scientific component which I will elaborate on. Any initial thoughts on the ab…

is called "frequency" f=(theta/t)*(1 [cycle]/360°) =1/T for the angle theta in (units) [degree(s)]=[°]; t is an amount of time (duration, e.g. difference in time) in (units) [second(s)]; & period T is the (amount of) time (duration), per cycle. There are several ways to express angle & (thus, also) angle_speed. But I prefer to express angles in cycles(' fractions, &/or multiples), e.g. as fractions, &/or multiples of a cycle. 1=100%. E.g. 1 [cycle]=360°. That is(=means), a degree 1°=[cycle]*(1/360) is 1/360th part of a(=1, complete=whole, single) cycle. E.g. 90°=0.25*[cycle]=[c…

Summary: Idea of deriving down to i''' from infinity, potentially establishing number theory from set of sq.rt. of primes, i'. Then, (*highly speculative*) i'' as Kinetic Energy, i'" as Potential Energy from electrostatics for new Hamiltonian in quantum mechanics? In need of critique on mathematics/calculus, in particular. Derivations done with respect to Field "shape", encompassing decreasing dimensions with each derivative for conceptualization, see discussion. Hello, Although this hinges on mathematics I will make this only just a discussion with cursory equations. I would encourage criticism, as I suspect my math is completely off-base. That said, I t…

Greetings All, I’ve placed this discussion here under Speculations because most of us are not interested in speculation and I sincerely do not want this topic given serious attention. However, an aspect of this topic compels my wish to express my thoughts on this subject in an open forum. What I want to discuss has a basis in science that cannot be disproven or dismissed, as you may soon agree. I want to begin with this declaration: There will always be world instability and humanity will never overcome racism. Rather than beginning with racism, I begin here with instability because racism is a child of instability. I declared there will always be world …

I think each parallel universe has at it's lowest level the string. And each one is "competing" with the others to see how quickly "they" can "get there". But they, themselves have rules to follow But what is "above" the string is my question

The same kind of magic wand you physicists wave with the word "geometry". So spacetime has a geometry. So what? Lots of things have geometry. Geometry is just a mathematical description. It doesn't mean fields and gravity waves happen by magic or unicorns or leprechauns. It doesn't mean spacetime isn't implemented by something that an amateur might call a "fabric" or "ether". From Einstein's 1920 address in Leiden: This is only the summary in the last paragraph. There's a fuller discussion earlier in the talk.

Nestor has 6 continents/4 do or don't touch its equator/4 LARGE land areas. 64% of its surface is liquid or frozen water. Its LARGE moon has 4 primary phases of 6.4 days each thus 6-day weeks & 4 weeks in a 'moonth'. Lunar year of 306 days + 6 day week + 4 days = 316 day solar year. Their ancients observed 6 moving objects in their heavens/4 can be seen during the day/4 cast shadows on Nestor. Their Venus is at .6 AU & their Mercury .4 AU. Besides Nestor, their solar system has 6 planets/4 are or are not gas/ice giants. Etc. I've been sharing this with NASA and others for 20 years. I presented All 'True64 Earthlike Plan-its' Are Built64 on 7_4 (like Eart…

And im not really sure why you call it 'mechanics'. Folks are trying to create something that isn't actually there. There are no mechanics in quantum. That is the whole point of quantum. No matter how hard you try it will NEVER happen It aint your fault. The string will not allow us to figure it out And no i have not watched the marvel ant movie. i feel all they are gonna do is f up what quantum actually is I know everyone will just say im crazy. Story of my life dont care. My entire life is th e quantum. i somehow exist in both at the same time

Hello, With MΛRH be the mass of dark energy included in the Hubble sphere at Hubble time tH We still have a dimensional problem because : MΛRH = 2/3 tH3 ... with kilos coming from the calculation of a cube of seconds !!! Note also that this would imply an increase, in the Hubble sphere, of the mass of matter (dark and/or baryonic) with the age of the universe. This does not exist in the consensus cosmological models today. In the same way one always has with a dimensional consistency problem: at tH, ΩΛ = 4/3 G/c3 tH2 These dimensional coherence problems (always with the same ratio with respect to the measurements) may have …

Since the introduction of Special theory of Relativity (SR), Lorentz invariance has been a fundamental part of our description of nature. Over the past decades, this (Lorentz invariance) was tested and verified by many research groups and almost no Lorentz violation has been found. However, when we look at the Lorentz transformations, we can mathematically find that they are not symmetrical relations. In fact, the inertial frames are not symmetrical in relation to each other and as a result, there must be a reference frame. If the inertial frames are symmetrical in relation to each other, as the SR argues, some paradoxes and contradictions are happened. Hence, we need to …

The proton model according to particle physics is seriously threatened by properties of the proton detected by experiments in the last two decades. The drama of the current proton model is that it was developed from the principle of symmetry, and therefore it is impossible to explain a recently discovered property of the proton, which requires the proton to have an asymmetric structure. We will talk about this enigma, which invalidates the current proton model, at the end of this topic, after showing the calculation of the proton's magnetic moment, through a new model, which, in addition to being asymmetric, has another property that does not exist in the current mo…
