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.

Special Relativity. Assume z=0. Two frames are in relative motion and when their origins are co-located, a light pulse is emitted from their origins. Stationary frame, observer O located is at (vr/c, r/γ, 0). Moving frame, observer O'1 located is at (0, r/γ, 0) and observer O'2 located is at ( r/γ, 0, 0). When light travels a distance r in O, observers O and O'1 are co-located. Proof 1) Set x = vr/c and t = r/c in the stationary frame since this is the O observer. LT calculates x'=0 and t'= r/(γc). Hence, ct' = r/γ = √( x'² + y² + z²) = √( 0² + y² + 0²) = y. So, the coordinate in the O' frame is (0, r/γ, 0). 2) Set x' = 0 and t' = r/(γc) in the …

Me and my friend recently came up with an idea of somehow creating tiny animals. For example, an elephant that could fit in the palm of your hand. We feel like this would be a really popular craze and make us a lot of money. I know that I would buy several of them for sure. We figure there has to be a way to do this possibly through cloning. With science as advanced as it is today I find it hard to believe this hasn't been done already. This thread is not a joke and I'm very interested in what your opinions are on the subject.

Oil well blowouts are caused by pressure control systems failing. Is it possible that the pressure control system failed due to Earth’s internal pressure increasing? Could Earth’s inner core temperatures be increasing thus causing the surrounding layer’s temperature to increase as well? As a result could the outer layers of the Earth’s inner core push oil in oil wells out? This could all be explained by seismo- electromagnetics, where solar flares are causing our Earth’s inner core temperatures to increase dramatically. If this is true, then we should see more oil well blowouts as solar activity increases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill

ok im space there dark matter this matter is undetctorble with the naked eye but it don't exsplan why the universe is exspandine so i have taken the E=MC2 and made it in to a bigger sum i beleve there in white matter unlike most matter it repelse every matter exsept white matter DM = dark matter for every 2 dark matter there is WM = white mater 4 white matter DM / WM * E=MC2 this sum to me exspelance most of the universe why it exspandes and mass

“There is presently no theory (general relativity included) that is able to predict the value of G” .....In particular then, the force that two symmetric spheres exert on each other is the same as if each sphere were replaced by its equivalent particle. Extracted from ‘Classical Mechanics’ by R Douglas Gregory. Cambridge University Press, Previously swansont had objected to the use of the classical electron radius, this caused a change to the quantum mechanical Compton radius where the similarity between the electron radius and the gravitational constant started a chain of thoughts that eventually lead to the following: Table 1 uses the equation: Mass mul…

The speed of light is determined by the propagation impedence of the medium it traverses. Now we just have to know the composition and functionality of the medium that facilitates the propagation of EM energy. There really is a medium. I think I know what is is. It's the ether. And I think I know it's composition and functionality. And as defined it is consistent with all experiments testing the phenomena of special relativity, general relativity, and relativistic quantum mechanics.

Simple Model of Quarks inside Nucleons Neglects rapidly rising Strong Force Potential at "rim" of nucleon, as well as Spin (& Orbital ???) angular momentum. Electrostatic Binding Energy of neutron is predicted to be about -1/3 MeV more negative than that for proton. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Nucleon Clocks ??? Immediately after a Down quark decays into an Up, the supposed spatial arrangement of the quarks (dud --> duu) is "out of balance", compared to the stable state for protons (duu --> udu). Perhaps it takes some time for the "newborn" perturbed proton to "settle down" into said stable state ?? Could detailed scattering expe…

This will mash your head up, this may be a petty imagination of a 13 year old boy. But, there was no 'creation' the universe has always been. As some know time is a dimension, maybe 'time' wasn't made then. Some kind of life must follow the same path, Never was created was always there. A life-form whoms knowledge is everlasting. Look at this, another colour not just out colours we see a completely different colour, now try to make a blank screen of that colour of what it looks like.. IMPOSSIBLE, because mind hasn't seen this. The light hasn't been basically 'saved'. Or maybe it is our mind not discovering these new things. But these life-forms are able to see things. Oka…

If photons (zero rest mass) have no anti-particle, do Particle / Anti-Particle pairs necessarily have rest mass ? For example, that Anti-Neutrinos exist demands that Neutrinos have rest mass ??

Could there be a difference, between the spacetime, of the "fixed past", and the "flexible future" ? Using the oft-cited "rubber sheet analogy", would the spacetime fabric of the "flexible future", full of unfixed possibilities, possibly be sort of "supple", in comparison to the "old & leathery" spacetime, of the fixed & "carved in stone" past ???

Ball lightning is a small, roundish floating object usually 10-20 cm but can be 1-100 cm, glows roughly as bright as a lamp, is usually red, orange or yellow, lasts about 1 s to 1 min, and usually moves horizontally with little vertical motion. Roughly similar objects were produced in the lab, but no one is sure whether they bear any relation to "real" ball lightning. About 5% of the population claims to have seen ball lightning. Possible explanations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning#Possible_scientific_explanations

If scientists are actually looking at black holes and worm holes as a means of moving from one galaxy or dimension to another; why not consider the act of instantaneous trancendental teleportation? I like the name and the idea, but unfortunately; we really don't know too much about it at the moment, even though nature in my opinion; has been doing it for billions of years.

When an electron's Wave Function collapses, its average charge density is dramatically & suddenly shifted. Does this create any kind of Electromagnetic Pulse, or other such disturbance ? (Would that require the emission of photons ??) And, if you could get gazillions & gazillions of electrons, all to WF-collapse, all at once, could you create impressive EMP ??

Hey, this is my theory; I call it the ‘Adam and Eve’ theory. You may download the word doc here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b403a25/n/life.docx Key - [God]: In this theory, ‘God’ is an action, or as some as you would say, energy. In this specific theory, the action is represented by opposites. The closest present and future, the step of time, one to another – it can be described as life’s flow. The only way to describe with numbers is in this manner: 1 – 2, or in this manner: 1 – 1. This is because if you literally take one thing, anything; and then add another, you’re making two. If you were to say, “But 4+4=8”; that’s true, but it’s also a lie, because I’m…

Suppose aliens have been visiting an inhabited planet, such as Earth. Then, where do you think the aliens would have come from (same planet at a different period, same solar system different planet, different solar system)? What might be their motivations? Might they be colonizing the asteroids in the system, would they bother coming from a different star system just to study alien life? Would they monitor other intelligent life, or not care?

I know, the topic is taboo. And it's probably perceptual to anyone above a third grade education, that the only person wanting to talk about the subject would be someone assimilating that third grade mentalityl. Daaaa!! Anyway, E.M.F. and Magnetism in practically any form above a lodestone can be changed to a new dynamic almost instantly. There are formula enough to fill a library, from the simplest application of D.C. theory, to the intricacies of a Cern Collider. Yet, other than the laws laid down by Sir Issac Newton, and a little mumbo-jumbo, gravity is an unquestionble entity. WHY?? Ubiquitous, yet inexplicable? What does gravity do other than supposedly keeping us f…

Ok, so many people have wondered "when did the universe start, and when will it end?" In my spare time, I jotted down and outlined a theory, which started as a random dream, but it seemed unique enought that I should share it with this forum: Time is often thought to be linear and mono-directional; however, what if we suppose that the entire universe followed time and space in a circle? This Theory explains the idea that the universe could repeat itself in a never-ending cycle, like a clock or a wheel. The diagram shows the beginning and end of each “cycle” and the time in between, where each and every moment is different from that of the last “cycle”,…

Personally, I really wish you hadn't taken this guys "Adan & Eve" thing off the forum. Frustration is probably the best timbre to sanity that I can think of. After venting, most folks go back to a more subtle way of life. Just think of his misgiving as a modertion of thinking?? What else can I say?
