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.

I believe I'm in the correct forum for this thread. It is Modern, Theoretical about the Physics of light. So... I believe light is a plasma phenomenon. The light travels through stimulated plasma and travels as far as the source will sustain. It is the overall strength from the source that determines how far… and how fast the light travels. There is no “Speed Limit” to light. It is a reaction process. Like a child on a swing. The harder you push, the faster they go. The brightness, distance and speed light travels is variable depending on this factor. The reaction is to the heat created by the source. The more heat, the more light it makes. It is only plasma afte…

I'm going to go the opposite direction of Stephen Hawking and bet that by the end of this year, we will have a generally accepted theory that unifies relativity and quantum mechanics. I will also predict that there will be an explosion of related scientific discoveries over this year and the next few. In previous great years in the history science, there have always been few people working on the cutting edge of science, relative to the number of scientists working today, and the world took a long time to catch up. Today, there are so many brilliant minds who have a hundred years' worth of understanding of modern physics, who are ready for the next level of puzzles th…

I'm not sure whether anybody watches the news regularly but I've noticed that the President of the United States of America always has the same hair-style whenever I turn the TV on. It's always short, he doesn't let his hair grow long and free. I bet he'd need to have frequent hair-cuts to keep his hair short all the time, but why does he do this exactly? Is it a medical condition? Or does he keep it short because he doesn't want to look more 'foreign' and cause him to potentially lose votes in the US? Does anyone actually have the answer to this question? If not, what does everyone think? What's with his short hair?

Greetings! As a teenager I developed a treat, I did not have before. I clearly remember the difference between then and after. I know, you will not believe me, but I would still like to share my experience, if anyone would be interested in my words. I noticed my body has a system of muscles, that, how can I explain, make me change my mood. They run right underneath the skin forming a coordinate system formed from vertical and horizontal stripes. I can feel them. They help me concentrate even within my body. All people have this system, I am sure, yet I became aware of it. It is not a belief, it is awareness of it, spontanously born in me in my teens. Before, I was…

Good Day to all. Respectfully…. I don’t know anyone here at this site. Nothing personal is meant by these remarks. I try to remain friendly and respectful to all. I have been at too many various forums to be too concerned about what happens at anyone of them. I do like this site…. so far. I find it quite unfortunate that in some cases the Moderators at forums like this too often think of themselves as the Great Gate Keepers of science. They attempt to keep out any ideas that aren’t in Lock Step with their own beliefs, or of the so called majority. Instead of being “FREE THINKERS” they become more like Nazis trying to maintain the accepted status quo. They…

The expansion of spacetime is commonly called "The Big Stretch" (Carroll & Ostlie. Intro. Mod. Astrophys.), and is often likened to the blowing up of a balloon. Musing naively from the analogy, balloons only blow up, when something provides an internal pressure, in excess of the surroundings. Speculation: The closed "3-Sphere" of spacetime is being "blown out like a balloon", by a radiation of "hyper-particles", emanating from "interior Hyperspace" (the hyper-space topogically inside of the hyper-sphere of spacetime). These "hyper-particles" impinge upon the "inside surface" of spacetime. As they "rain down" on spacetime, they produce a "pitter-pa…

Allegation (?): Enzymes are "spring-loaded", storing Mechanical Potential Energy (MPE). When an enzyme binds with a reactant, the "spring-loaded catch-mechanism" is tripped, "trapping" the reactant into the enzyme's active binding site. This "clamping" process imparts the enzyme's stored MPE into the chemical bonds of the reactant, thereby supplying some significant fraction of the Activation Energy (AE) required to run the relevant chemical reaction (MPE --> AE). Then, the "clamped" reactants bind, into their new chemical combination, which has allot lower total energy. So much energy is released, in their (exergonic) reaction (RE), that the new chemical compound …

I find that the General relativity is wrong! I get a new formula to describe the bend of light ray, the general relativity only can describe the bend of light at sun point, but can not describe the orbit of moving light when they through nearby sun! my formula can solve this problem! can I paste my formula here for release science news? please give me an instruction!

If the scale of time and its relation to gravity was exaggerated to the point that one person could stand in a 20 foot hole and their time frame move twice as fast relative to someone standing at the edge of it....would we even notice? I don't understand how light relates with gravity to determine if we could *see* someone moving faster because their time frame is faster relative to our time frame. Since the speed of light is constant, it seems like we could definitely see each other moving faster or slower, in our different time frames, but is that true? I'm sure I'm not asking that right. But maybe someone knows what I mean?

I have been following these forums for awhile and apologize if I hijack the thread. The current term for miniatoms aka hydrinos is hypoles. Apparently there is some work going on by Jacques Dufour, Sergio Focardi and Andrea Rossi that may be relevant. http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=338 Jaman aka Joseph

Firstly this in Speculations because that is what it is, speculation. While it is an outgrowth of my readings in Climate Science it is not directly involved in the current climate debate and doesn't effect the CO2/AGW argument. (Or at least it isn't intended to.) However I would like to put forward this idea for examination and criticism. I'm also curious if such "limits" occur in other sciences. Background. In this thread I likened the climate to the Drake Equation. I use this comparison to show the many different factors involved in working out the forcings that effect the global temperature. It demonstrates the many factors and could theoretically be used in cl…

I like the idea that the universe could be described as a four dimensional fractal equation. A fractal is similar at all magnifications, and at first glance it would appear that our universe is not. But what we describe as the universe probably does not encompass the entirety of existence. It could be that our universe is one of many, and that the reason we can't see it is that we are not able to look at things from far enough away. Or close enough. Quantum particles popping into existence briefly could be far more than they seem when considering the smaller scale of the equation. I realise that analogies between the orbits of subatomic particles and interstellar obje…

Atheists are now supporting Intelligent Design Yes you read the title correctly. You can be an atheist and be a supporter of intelligent design. Some atheists and agnostics can support and are supporting intelligent design. So what exactly do atheistic intelligent designers believe? Well most of them seem to believe the atheist intelligent design theories of John Gribbin “the multiverse theory” also known as the “designer multiverse theory”. Many scientists are currently supporting this theory including Martin Rees and Bernard Carr. I have posted many links on the multiverse theory at the end of this article if you want to research this theory deeper. On…

I think I heard somewhere that Jews/Muslims aren't allowed to touch or eat pig because they think it's dirty. However, is pig really that much more dirty than say beef or chicken? Have any objective scientists out there determined whether there is a big difference in the amount of bacteria living in the meat of pig compared to other forms of meat? Is eating pig as opposed to other meats really such a huge threat to human health?

science, wake up, you are in the Matrix. --------------Jin Guangnian I have proved a lot of accepted theories in Physics are wrong. Let me start with the mass of Earth. I found out human being still don't know the mass of Earth. M=gR^2/G , this formula shows how we calculate the mass of Earth. It's too simple. Human being just pretend we know the mass of Sun, Earth, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and so on. In my research, I found out 3 mistakes in Mr Henry Cavendish torsion balance exp. 1 the distance between two balls is too close, the balls can't be treated as a point. 2 when we calculate the force between 2 balls on the ground, the law of univer…

(1) Living quantum systems can cause & control Wave Function Collapses At deepest root, all physical systems are quantum systems. And, living cells are "self-measuring" quantum systems -- "at its most fundamental level, the living cell is a quantum system, which measures its own internal state" (McFadden. Quantum Evolution, p.164). Thus, quantum systems that are "alive" can cause, or "self-trigger", their own Wave Function Collapse events (quantum evolution by von Neumann Type I process). Moreover, modern human science has hinted that quantum Wave Function Collapse, normally an unbiased random process, can be biased, so that quantum possibilities, latent in…

Many words interface with what we concieve as time. But other than humans using the term, does time really matter, or even exist? Each of us have used the word for a lifetime and rarely look at it as a conundrum. The snippets below have been around for ages, yet; I wonder how they relate to your ideas of time and can anything new be added? Personally, I'm lost????? Prevalent: Widely or commonly occurring, existing, accepted, or practiced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light Probable: Likely but uncertain; plausible. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/time-thermo/ Possible: Capable of happening, existing, or being true without contradicting proven fa…

I know that Islam is currently the fastest growing religion in the world however I think the video above is exaggerating some statistics and neglecting the fact that with time as Muslim immigrants move through the Western societal hierarchy from middle to upper class they will produce less children. Generally it's true that people from developing countries produce more children relative to developed nations however wouldn't the children of these immigrants produce less children than their parents and so on? What does everyone think about the legitimacy of this video? I think it's just another fear-mongering propaganda video in response to the growing fears of Islam by man…

@ZolarV Recently i was reading a bit of a bad thread on the NASA Space Program, and how it lacked any imaginative propulsion systems. NASA's current propulsion system is a chemical system that reacts hydrogen with oxygen. However in their labs they have done some significant work on ION thrust, space foil (kite), and even nuclear explosion type propulsion systems. I thought for a few minutes on the subject and came to the conclusion that all of the thrust systems that NASA has built are rather bland. They all are trying to achieve orbit in one way, that is quickly. What if we didn't need to reach space fast? Why not just slowly lift something up into s…

My understanding of gravity is limited and this sounds bizarre, i read an article about it in newscientist yesterday and found a bbc link for proof, but you all may know about this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8197683.stm Does gravity have a field that rotates as the star turns, is that what drags a planet into a stable orbit and keeps it there?, how can an orbit be kept stable in reverse to the spin direction of the star?
