Speculations

Daryl Bern, a Cornell University psychologist has presented results of nine experiments using more than 1000 subjects which he claims prove that ESP exists. His paper reporting his results in detail has been accepted for publication by the well-respected, peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Some psychologists are complaining now that the results should not have been published since ESP can't exist.

And how many superluminal QSOs does it take to throw a monkey wrench into the BB Theory? Google TON 202 and see... ! Moderator Note Thread has been split from here

Hi: My favorite flame is sound-free [i.e. completely silent], char-free, soot-free, smoke-free, odor-free, ember-free, waste-free, tar-free, toxin-free, non-caustic, and ash-free. No CO2 or H20-vapor either. This flame does not emit any sonic or mechanical energy to any extent at any frequency. It is also not affected by wind or air at all. The flame does not emit any form of energy/matter other than infrared-c radiation. This flame emits IR light not out of incandescence but due to specific quantum jumps. UV and visible light can be emitted by non-incandescent sources – so can IR. The temperature of this flame is not much different from its surroundi…

According to the big bang theory time,matter and everthing started in a split second but I don't understand something which is super heated ( something like 1 trillion trillion degrees celcius ) and eventually it created a super blast which made the universe. I still don't understand how time could actually be 'created' because it's not like matter, becuase you can't get a hold of time,you can't grasp time. I think that time wasn't atcually created it was in existence before the big bang but that still desn't answer the question,"How did time start?"

Big Bang was not. The reason of cosmological redshift — "ageing" of photons. My scientific concept does not give an occasion to Universe expansion.

Whether we talk about "the beginning" of our universe as a huge explosion or an instantaneous expansion, how could either have happened without a center? I haven't a clue, but does it matter? Perhaps some day it may. At best, and even with using the "raisin bread" scenario along with the popular expansion theory; why would there have not been a center to this whole enchilada? Unless general math forsakes me completely; somewhere there is a galaxy with people?, perhaps not unlike us sitting at the "exact center" of this expansion saying, why is everything moving away from us? But! what if it was simply a huge explosion and everything had been thrown out in all directions? …

I have no idea if this is the right place, so my bad. I've been working on a story for the last couple of months based on similar world like this with one difference, the ability to use magic. I've been doing research and trying the best I can to have a reason for the magic to work. So it's not tradition magic, I want their to be a science behind it. Well one of the things im going over now is having more then 5 senses and I was hoping for a bit of help. Not only would like help on comming up with new senses, but help on defining if the ability can be considered a sense or not. Sensing Motion - And I mean in a way that you can still tell someone is moving aroun…

I know! It has been mentioned, theorized, calculated and catalogued into the archives of civilized learning. But how true is it in practicality? The raisin bread theory, that is. Why do scientist insist on telling me there was no center to the universe at its conception. Anyway, in the beginning there was supposedly a Big Bang. Don't quote me verbatim, but in the first few trillionts of a second, the universe was at a temperature of perhaps billions + or - degrees F. and had grown to the size of an orange. In the next few trillionths of that second, it had grown to the size of our solar system, or galaxy, not sure which. During the next five minutes, it had stretched (gr…

Plasmids are pieces of DNA, that bacteria incorporate into their own genome: Such seems superficially similar, to (lysogenic) bacteriophage virus DNA, which enters bacterial cells, and is incorporated into the cell's internal functionings. Perhaps Plasmids underlie the Eukaryotic transition to diploid-ism, representing some sort of "proto-sexual reproduction" ??

cell theory (Cell theory refers to the idea that cells are the basic unit of structure in every living thing) and that all living things have certain characteristics but those characteristics are part of the definition so any "life" that violated this theory would not actually BE life its like theorizing that all dogs bark and then redefine the word dog to mean (a 4 legged animal that barks) if there was a dog that was injured and could no longer bark it would cease to be a dog by this (redefined) definition.

Hi: I have two favorite wavelengths [colors] of visible light. These two wavelengths of light [when emitted monochromatically and perhaps together as well]: 1. Cause the least amount of stimulation [hopefully none] of the rods of the average human retina 2. Cause the least amount of stimulation [hopefully none] of the blue cones of the average human retina Wavelength-1 is reddish-green while wavelength-2 is greenish-red. Both wavelengths [even if view separately] will stimulate both red and green retinal cones, hence the terms “reddish green” and “greenish red”. However, reddish-green causes more stimulation of green cones than red cones, while greenish-r…

As an introductory note, I shall say that the theory behind my ranting and raving, or bits and pieces therein, is self consistent throughout. With reference to the above title I would like to mention that a common way of thinking is to consider time and space in their aspect of absolute quantities. Seen as physical quantities, time and space are almost always thought of: the first in terms of millions of years, and the second in terms of intergalactic space. What I have in mind instead is the smallest unit measure of time and space: the “second of time” and the corresponding “distance of space” which is 300 million metres, roughly from here to the moon. In my work, I am a…

If gravity had positive and negative poles, like magnetism, could the opposite pole be hidden because it existed in anti-spacetime? Matter tends to organize into apparently spherical bodies, but what if the center of these bodies was just a transition point between the positive and negative poles of gravitational force, where only the positive spacetime-generating side is observable? So whereas we generally think of gravity-wells bottoming-out at their centers, could the curvature of spacetime actually be continuing through some kind of virtual/shadow anti-spacetime that feeds force back into the gravity field as we know it? Think about it like being an electron l…

With this first thread, I would like to put forward a proposition which science may or may not, in the near future, find it a suitable alternative to the ongoing state of things. I am specifically referring to the Relativity paradoxes and to the many unanswered questions plaguing Quantum mechanics. With both these scientific disciplines, the problem seems to rest and to lean heavily: (a) on the abstract status of «time», and (b) on the emptiness of «space». To make a long story short, the parameter «time» when applied to Science in general has been made to play the part of the interloper ever since natural philosophy became science, that is: ever since Galileo. Likewis…

Except, how do you know that?

I was discussing the details of what it meant to say that time was infinite, specifically into the past. The main objection that I got was that "if the past is infinite, then it would have taken an infinite of time to reach the present." My first impulse is to say "So?" and ignore it, but I was having difficulty explaining why that didn't bother me. So I'm curious as to what you guys think. Could time extend infinitely into the past? If so, what would that mean? If not, why?

Before I say anything, keep in mind I am not an expert in thisfield by any means; I am a mere high school senior with an interest in physicsand many questions regarding the subject. I may be entirely incorrect ineverything I bring up, and I will not at any point claim that my theories areanything but speculation. I am searching for counterarguments to my hypotheses,not trying to declare them fact. The Premise: If the Sun wereto spontaneously disappear by miraculous means, people say that from a referenceframe on Earth we would see its light vanish eight minutes after the event, andat the same time we would fly off tangent to our elliptical orbit. M…

QT is a mathematical prediction theory, it does not explain how or why. Classical theory can be updated to include a partial explanation as follows: All natural force theories are variations on the Inverse Square Law; confusion arises at the start (i.e. with Newton’s gravity) because the term vacuum is frequently used where the correct term is partial vacuum. Starting with gravity Newton gave us the mathematical theory of gravity (partial vacuum) and a graph of a gravity field (partial vacuum field) without a central mass. The force carrying particle is the Graviton that is it’s own anti-particle, therefore a graph of the internal force fields of the graviton would …

Well firstly let me explain something, in order for this forum to remain at a valuable state, and this is my first post on this forum and I ahve been studying you guys for a while and this forum could use some cleanup, do not ever threaten creationists or give them terms on how they can behave, if anything they should be giving you terms, time and time again everyday all day non stop creation of the universe is proven true like it or not, and you can choose to make a counter theory or explanation for everything that creationists come up with as being of devine design, fact is people are getting more and more afraid to step up the plate and start telling the truth and beli…

I have a bunch of questions and ideas... please point out any statements that are false. Since reading of the concept in GR that gravitational attraction is a kind of inertia more than a force, I've been trying to build a conceivable understanding of it. Since then I've tried to "correct" anyone who speaks of light following a curved geodesic as if the light is being affected by gravity, as if gravity is "pulling on the light". I recently read in wikipedia that photons have mass, so does that mean they are affected by gravity? So I'm wrong??? But then I read here http://everything2.com/title/Geodesic that geodesics are paths of zero acceleration (in the c…

Is it possible that the moon and earth is connected by magnetic band and when a solar flare hits the band a rubberband effect will accure thus dragging moon closer to the earth,i know highly speculative but its magnetic field should bounse back when the solar flare whent by,could then influence the oceans raising in australia for instance.

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=sofwHQejYQw Now im not stating fact here, but this video caught my eye. And for the last 3-4 hours ive been racking my brain over these. Im quite rational and skeptic to a degree but any imput on fake's misconceptions is greatly appreciative. I thank you in advance. Plus additonal video's that to me have compelling evidence. http://www.youtube.c...feature=related It appeares to me that scientist are becoming more open to the subject than before, this physicist appears to be a quite popular and accurate. Excuse my typos im up late in complete aww of the mass amount's of video's that are available. I do apologize …

The professor has given to me the title of the assignment to be completed this week "innate immunity to bacteria Outside the Cell" I requested information on google but have not found, accurate information about this topic. Where can I find: books (free ebooks download) or materials about this topic???Email me

Speculations on Deep-Space-ship designs Deep Space is strewn with dust & gas. Space-craft collision, with the same, could be catastrophic, especially at trans-luminal speeds (~c). Even with a forward-mounted deflector shield, damage & drag could accumulate, especially on cosmos-crossing inter-galactic hyper-missions, whereon millions of years of fuel, for constant counter-acceleration, seems insurmountable: Fig. 1 -- deep-space-ship Von Braun en route to star-system Darwin (DC Alien Planet DVD) Perhaps, then, deep-space-ships would be better built in an annular shape, like a 'frisbee football': Spinning such a ship could create artificia…

i believe time is nothing more then a measurement. things happen do to reactions. we measure these reactions by using the measurement of time. like we use a tape measure to measure a room. i just don't get why people think time pushes us along ? like car coming to a stop. has nothing to do with time. most of the time. it has to do with a person foot hitting the breaks. (reaction) building pressure in the break line by squeezing break fluid tighter. (reaction) which pushing the breaks against the break disc causing the car to slow down. (reaction). which we measure by time. how long it took it to happen.
