Speculations

Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.

Speculations Forum Rules

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Question: What is a graviton? Why are we consumed with an idea that can only be explained mathmatically, but in no other fashion? I'm not looking for an arguement over something I know absolutely nothing about, but just wondering? Is the universe based on such antiquated ploys as entropy and gravity, or will the LHC in Cern shake our brains to their roots? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton

    QuantumEnergetics. Quantumenergetics is based on new fundamental discoveries of quantum of space-time(quanton) and super-strong electromagnetic interaction (SEI) made by VladimirLeonov in 1996. On the basis of new fundamental discoveries the theory of Superunificationof fundamental interactions of electromagnetism, gravitation, nuclear andelectro-weak forces is completed. It is important that new fundamentaldiscoveries have the widest practical application in the development of quantumenergetics. It is discovered that the single source of energy in the Universeis the quanton in the structure of quantized space-time, which is the carrierof super-strong interaction (SEI…

    This idea came to me the other day. If you look at the cell, the energy economy of the cell is based on the stored energy within reduced carbon and nitrogen compounds. This is one side of the energy equation. On the other side of the energy equation is oxidation, with O2 being the most potent terminal electron acceptor. From the oxidation, ATP energy is created, which can then be used to help enzymes drive both reduction and oxidation reactions on both sides of the energy balance. As an example of where I am heading, there is a normal middle aged spread where the body gains weight. Although the DNA has not changed relative to its genetic content, the energy balance …

    Many diseases can be traced back to the genetic material being turned on and off in the egg after fertilization. When we first started cloning we didnt allow the DNA to to go through this process and thus dolly the first successful cloned animal, died from numerous genetic diseases. If we were to do the same with human DNA and clone one incorrectly, we can trace many genes that make a person autistic, have varying cancers and other problems. Then through isolating many genes for certain disease we can make gene therapies that can halt, stop or even cure. Considering that isolating the genes by sampling the genome of certain groups of people with said genetic problems it …

    Hello, I am new here. Could there be, that bright stars, we see on the sky are only a half of the clockworks of the sunshine, we receive on the planets? Could it be, that bright stars are feminine and dark stars are masculine, also exist. Bright meaning, that they are noticed by their sunshine, dark meaning, they are sucking on the sunshine instead of shining it away. These dark stars would couple with the bright stars and suck on them, causing them to sweat the sunshine around. The sunshine would spread evenly around, as the star rotates around her axis. In other words, can the stars be sweating the burn, because something is pulling on it? When the dark star would…

    Before i start i would like to say i am not a scientist and have no qualifications, what i will type is speculation i had after reading an article by Stephen hawking (http://www.dailymail...me-machine.html) In that article he mentions he did an experiment where he made a party invitation and only planned to tell people about it afterwards, no one turned up as expected which means either travelling through time is impossible or the visit to his party was not worth the effort (which may be considerable) This provoked me into thinking about time travel myself, i dismissed the idea of actually travelling back or forward in time because it seems impractical, what i did…

    Hello, Please allow me to inform you about my discovery: The Gravitational isolator. Having the proven interaction between light and gravitation (deflection of light by a gravitational field, fact resulted from the general theory of relativity, also proved experimentally), here comes my idea, by thinking to invert the values of this process so that a high enough density light field will isolate a weak enough gravity field. The complete article with images, short movies etc. can be found at: http://gravitationalisolator.net63.net/

    I thought about just attaching this to my Aether thread to end the Aether thought, so to speak. One thought has led to another. However with the new thought the subject changed enough that I wish to remove Aether from its substance. The new thought is an effort to define space. There do not seem to be many direct values I can give to space. 1. It can be occupied. 2. We can think of it in terms of volume, which means we can divide it into units of measure. 3. Any other defining value is related to what occupies space. 4. Any observation, of that given volume, can be affected by what occupies space outside our chosen limits of observation. 5. Space is a medium; any e…

  12. Hi everyone. I'm a writer, amateur comedian, philosopher, and have always had a great interest in science and skepticism. Recently I started writing articles for a site entitled "Things that Shouldn't Still Exist." My most recent article is on hatred towards science (which seriously has no right still existing-- particularly in developed nations). Anyhow, I'm always looking for more topics to write about, so if anyone has suggestions, let me know. So far, I've also covered: Racism, Ghost Hunting, Square Dancing, and Circumcision. The site is an odd mix of philosophy and humor (which is necessary when you're an analytical thinker in a world of dubious, frustrating c…

    INTRODUCTION Fundamental mechanics — new section of physics investigating structure of space and behaviour of its elements. Feature of fundamental mechanics is possibility of realisation of only virtual experiments with fundamental elements of space — for the obvious reason: these elements have extremely small size. Fundamental laws of physics — Postulates — can be postulated only, but are not deduced, as they do not follow from other physical laws, and very much the other way. To check up correctness of Postulates it is possible, having convinced by that from them known laws of physics follow. Correct basic physical laws did not manage to be created earlier a postu…

    It is a proven fact that evolutionists (people who believe evolution is a proven fact) go bald early. Most evolutionists are men and this is what happens to them for holding false beliefs. If you compare the heads of evolutionists to creationist/ID proponents you will see the differences. Creationists and ID believers keep there hair well up to their 80s. Chuck Norris is a Christian, creationist he is 70 years old and has all of his hair. Evolutionists charles darwin, herbert spencer etc all lose there hair in their 40s. This shows that evolutionists are wrong in their beliefs. Are you an evolutionist? You will go bald early, have bad health and die e…

(Solent: a straight of ocean between the Isle of Wight and main land England) I was stood at the window, while she was sat on the couch, about 6' away. We both observed a rainbow.

    Is it impossible to know the noumenon? I don't think so. Kant's distinction between two forms or terms 'Phenomenon' - the world as it appears through the sense organs and 'Noumenon' - the world which is unknowable and helps the mind in producing the phenomenon according to Kantian terms is quite familiar to all of us. Kant argued that all our known knowledge had to arrive to the mind transformed through the sense organs. So the only knowledge we have is of the phenomenon. The things which appear around us or in the physical world are not the things that exist in the actual physical world (i.e. the noumenon world) they exist only in our minds and has to the exact nature of…

  22. The model of hydrogen atom that the electron moves in the center field produced by the proton is the inevitable result with pure classical theory, and the reduced mass of the electron must be introduced to correct the result. With QM (quantum mechanics), we accept and select this model which belongs to pure classical conception to build Schrödinger equation of it, but then deny the classical motion of the electron. I think that is self-contradictory. Since we have the perfect description about the particle by QM, so could build the model of hydrogen atom with it. Why don't we build the model of hydrogen atom independently by QM? more inforrnation see: http://www.sc…

  23. Michelson-Morley Experiment (MMX) is one kind of optical interference of two beams of light. So the explanation of the the results from MMX should depend on the conception of light interferenc. The two coherent light sub-sources (S and S') are made by the splitter mirror in MMX, and a time difference will be produced by moving media. Meanwhile the space difference of the two sub-source will be produced too, i.e. the position of S' will not be at the same point with S, as shown in follow figure. Optical interferenc at the observation point O in MMX Thereby, the Optical interference fringes at observation O is determined by the difference of optical path between S-…

    First of all: I'm just a high-school kid with no scientific education. I'm just sharing my thoughts on a topic that I deal a great lot of interest in. I would love to be corrected as I'm sure that there is plenty of flaws in my "theory" Stem cells can create new, young cells, correct? In theory, placing stem cells on a cut you got on your hand would make the skin in the area pretty much like the skin of a baby? And one will die once the telomeres of the chromosones grows so big that the cell can no longer handle it? Then, what if one replaced the cells, used plenty of stem cells and created new cells? Wouldn't this erase the concept of aging, at the very least expend…
