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.

  1. There is not in current theoretical physics an atomistic structure of the electric field, despite more than 70 years ago Wolfgang Pauli said in his Nobel Lecture: "From the point of view of logic, my report on ‘Exclusion principle and quantum mechanics’ has no conclusion. I believe that it will only be possible to write the conclusion if a theory is established which will determine the value of the fine-structure constant and will thus explain the atomistic structure of electricity, which is such an essential quality of all atomic sources of electric fields actually occurring in Nature."

    I observe that g/G is the distance to the sun. Before I add own thoughts on this, I offer this up to discussion. What might be the reason for this coincidence?

    I will start with a few axioms that will justify my logic First and foremost is a quote from Albert Einstein " We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that we used when we created them." Second, there is no evidence of a gravitational attraction between masses. Third, dark matter is not matter at all. It is a field of pre-atomic emergent energy particles (neutrinos). Finally there was no big bang that started atomic creation. Atomic creation started with zero point energy (neutrinos) organizing themselves, through gravitational collapse and electronic organization into atoms. Heat is a byproduct of atomic activity built up over billions of years. The c…

  5. There's something that have passed unperceived Physics that would severely affect it in many areas because of its consequences. Please read with attention, the problem was described with care. The real equation of force is F = ma Today's Physics is stating that the Equation of Force is F = dp/dt. We will analyze the equation of motion of rockets to see that the real Equation of Force is: F = ma A rocket has variable mass in its trajectory and it's important to see its motion equation. Let m be its variable mass at any instant in its movement composed by the mass of the rock…

  6. You are right. There is no actual time dilation or length contraction for anything. They are only perceptions/observations. This might cause a stir here, but it's true.

  7. Gravitational Index of Refraction Using the surface gravity entropy of the form: [math]\mathbf{S} \leq k_B\frac{2 \pi\ c\ E}{\hbar \kappa}[/math] Plugging in the dimensions of the surface gravity will yield a ratio which we can surreptiously take as the index of refraction which can be both expressed in terms of electromagnetic or gravity models. For example: [math]\mathbf{S} \leq k_B\frac{2 \pi\ c\ E\ t}{\hbar\ v} = k_B\frac{2 \pi\ n\ E\ t}{ \hbar}[/math] Where [math]n = \frac{c}{v}[/math]. Such ideas in which gravity can be treated as a special limit of some optical theory has long impressed me. In the context of the free-space wavenumber […

    When something cools down it gets colder, hence it's coldness increased, so can't you say that coldness flowed into the warmness?

  9. Hi all, I wanted to write new thread about this topic just because there is just too much text in the previous one. I also change the perspective and look directly to a important question: how cosmological observations constrains shrinking matter theories. I was thinking if this is repetition but i wasn't sure. If many of you think this is repetition maybe i then ask you to delete this thread. So Here in this topic i look what kind of observational constrains there are for shrinking matter theory. First why do i still bother thinking shrinking matter theory? --------- MRS Hawkings have published (2010) a result that quasars don't exhibit effects of time …

  10. Abstract We first prove that nuclear structure is not randomly arranged nucleons. We then develop a geometric model for nuclear structure using JP data from the Internet. The model shows why Be(p = 4, n = 4) is unstable while Be(4, 5) is stable. It predicts correctly the mode of decay of unstable isotopes and it predicts the daughter isotope. It also predicts why Tc(43, n = 54 or 53) is unstable and why Tc(43, 52) is not allowed and why all other isotopes of Tc are unstable. There is also a clear indication of why nuclei of p > 26 require energy to form. Knowing the relative position of the particles may make field computations easier. The model also explains wh…

  11. I have similar theory explaining dinosaurs' extinction by gravity change. But I explain it by other way. I have hypothesis that gravity of planets has a relativity to solar gravity. Thus, when gravity of Sun changes on the planet's orbit, it affects to planet's gravity function. Gravity potential doesn't change because planet's mass doesn't change. But the superposition of gravity function changes while the local gravity system of the planets changes its size. When gravity system change its size, but planet's size is constant, the gravity on the planet's surface changes its value. For examle, if gravity of Sun on the Earth orbit will change with factor 2, the si…

  12. Theories on the nature of quantum geometry and entropy. I am not sure whether or not you are familiar with the theory of quantum geometry, but I think it is rather interesting. Naturally, we are used to operating in the third dimension, as with the interaction of 3-D objects. In the 2nd dimension, we would only observe three-dimensional objects from the view of a two-dimensional plane. All we would see is the cross-section of a ball going through our plane, as though it were a shadow. It would, therefore, makes sense that geometry is also pervasive through higher dimensions. In theoretical physics, Albert Einstein postulated that there may be an affect on grav…

    If gravity didn't exist, then nor would the normal force exist (upward force from ground). So to reconcile gravity as a contact force as opposed to an action at a distance would require an altered viewpoint on multiple forces. I once gave an example in the philosophical antirealism thread about the irregular rotation of the Earth somehow creating a downward Euler force to mimic gravity. In my lucid dreaming thread (profile blog) I recalled an experience of going up in an elevator and having the backpack increase in weight relative to the horizon. So I wasn't throwing the backpack upwards and rather I was going upwards in sync with the elevator floor. I don't know much abo…

  17. Say you got a formal proof: Line # Statement Reason 1 A Premise 2 ... ... n B m, Some reason n+1 A -> B n, Deduction Theorem. Now we have proven: A -> A -> B, so we proved: true -> B = true (by truth table of "therefore"). So we proved A -> true (by deduction theorem). Now A could be false, then we shouldn't be able to derive "true".

  18. Let a 10 m square train car (as seen when stationary) be traveling left to right at 0.866 c. Let a light beam be emitted horizontally from the back and travel to the front, and a second beam be emitted from the upper left back corner and travel to the lower right front corner. A combination of time dilation and length contraction would make time on the train car pass at half the rate of a stationary observer's clock and contract the length of the car, and horizontal beam, from 10 m to 5 m long and the length of the diagonal beam from 14.1421 m to 11.1803 m long. For simplicity, let's just say that it takes 1 second for light to travel 10 m in the stationary frame in this …

    I've done nearly everything possible I can think of to block the "flow" of heat out of a Stirling engine, with the idea that if the "heat rejection" could be blocked, the engine would quickly overheat and stop running, or be unable to start running in the first place. To that end, I recently sent away for a silica Aerogel blanket, which is supposed to be very good at blocking heat. I was able to apply a propane torch to one side and not feel heat through the blanket with my hand on the other side. I also used a glass globe from a Coleman lantern to block drafts. As in previous experiments just using styrofoam or house insulation, the engine started and cont…

    You can manipulate the frequency of a neutrino by harnessing diamagnetism. If you run electrical current through a small mass of plutonium in a sodium honeycomb matrix, encased in bismuth cooled by fluorine gas you can offset the effect of earths resonance frequency and achieve cold fusion in a neutrino plasma that makes more fluorine out of thin air. The fluorine expands with the heat from the electricity running through the plutonium turning a turbine, and cooling down as its compressed before cycling through the reactor again. This plasma also produces thrust, and has the ability to dematerialize various substances and convert them into fluorine gas How does i…

    I thought to discuss a list of experiments that can deceive libra. We are talking about both conventional and ultra-precise weights. They say that a reaction with the release of more energy in a closed test tube can change the weight? Various magnetic devices are possible. They also say that there are devices that can change weight from electricity, not necessarily magnetic. What methods do you know? The topic is more humor than serious, so please do not move it from section Speculations.

  22. You mean do the social sciences exist? Yes, people try to do that all the time. My own personal theory is that (a) the human mind is more or less entirely plastic (i.e. impressionable) at birth, so almost nothing can be said about its initial state (except that there basically is none); (b) it gradually loses plasticity during its lifetime, becoming more and more locked into various beliefs, attitudes, and habits; (c) a lot of cultural history reflects the ways in which people's belief systems are affected by those of older generations; and (d) the older generations have lost most of their psychic plasticity and are responsible for the continuity of their cultures. …

    Wondered what people thought of this hypothesis. I remember years ago I read something somewhere about ancestors of humans living in water and this helped with our evolution. I think of it now and again, but until now didn't know what the theory was called or anything. I did a search and managed to find the name of the hypothesis I was thinking of - Aquatic ape hyopthesis. Seems interesting. If it were true it would mean that water was not only a major factor in evolution of life in general but for human evolution too.

Earlier, in 2008 I worked out a framework of theory of social evolution, basing on logistic conception which was discovered by P.F.Verhulst in 1838. 1.
