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.

    If UFO reports are at least sometimes real nuts and bolts space craft from another civilization where do they come from? it would be easy to just say they are all hoaxes or misinterpretations of common objects but in many cases there is embarrassment of data by people that could under different circumstances condemn you to life in prison if not death by their testimony. So if we give credence to at least some reports where do they come from? And how could we detect them by scientific means that would indicate their reality?

    Matter vs. Anti-Matter asymmetry stems from "global" Curvature (Topology) of Spacetime ? Does matter / anti-matter symmetry assume, implicitly, that spacetime is "globally" flat ?? If so, could it be, that the highly curved state, of a hyper-spherical "closed" cosmos, or hyperbolic "open" cosmos, soon after the Big Bang, would favor one form of matter over the other -- perhaps b/c matter & anti-matter "protrude" from spacetime in "opposite directions" (as per PP) ?? If so, by appealing to non-flat spacetime fabrics, as the "backdrop" for early Cosmological phenomena, perhaps the preference for matter over anti-matter amounts to convincing evidence, that th…

    Some people are fat. To get thin they need to burn the fat. If they were to devour spices that are hot, they burn the fatty cells off. You need to eat spices and curry, lots of curry. If you are on a pill that makes you gain weight you could eat even more of it! Reccommend the curry though, how many fat Hindis have you seen?

    I think can technology progress underwater has been asked before but what about advanced technology of higher than stone age or more advanced coming about in a non oxidizing atmosphere? If you can't have fire can you have anything more than stone age technology? An example would if you had a super terrestrial planet with an hydrogen atmosphere could any life advance past the stone age since fire would not be possible in a reducing atmosphere.

    Hi, Hopefully this is the right topic for this... I've studied quantum physics and cosmology as a hobby for 20 years reading books like 'A Brief History of Time', 'The God Particle', 'The Road to Reality', etc. --in other words I don't really know snot. Never the less (and of course!) an idea has come to me that solves a lot of proglems. It kind of turns things around but it seems nice, neat and logical. Its not completely original and of course it has to be completely wrong LOL, still I wanted to post it to have it formally torn down. But it's summarized in 4 pages of bulleted items and pictures in a zipped Word document. I think I can guarantee that …

  11. so basically i gotta tangent, the ether is the source of all matter and force, "energy" does not exist in a physicl form, but its the "ability to do work" which is equal to the "force over time" the word "energy" is a convenient fiction, like "time" which is an arbitrary measurement of the rate of motion of matter though ether filled space. all events occur in the present and the past and future are meerely metaphors. the eether is a universla medium which fills all space and appears to be dynamic relative to the earths moving thousands of miles per hour though space the ether is normally electrically neutral and penetrates all solid matter. there is a ultra high frequenc…

    Did mankind come to be from the evolution of some ameba or some single celled organisim that came together at the beginning of our planet? Or were we put here by some super intelligence from another planet? And just maybe these aliens are keeping watch over us! Who can say, Maybe all of the UFO reportings might have some truth to them.

    The curvature of mass-free space-time is allot like the "compensating curvatures" (my words) of a soap film, drawn out between two circular hoops, held up in the air (Wheeler. Gravitation & Spacetime). Now, for a soap film to exist in space, the soapy water must be different from the medium in which it is immersed — to wit, whilst one could create soap films in the air or in a vacuum, one could not do so "under (soapy-)water". Arguing naively from the analogy, then, the "film" of space-time must be distinctly different from the "medium" of Hyperspace. Moreover, the shapes of soap films are created by the counter-balancing of Surface Tension forces t…

    This is probably why non-physicists shouldn't waste their time thinking about physics: So by determinism, I'm talking about the concept that if you knew the state of every particle at the beginning of the big bang, you could recreate or model the universe perfectly as well as make perfect predictions about the future. I think the concept is rooted in chaos theory. The Many worlds interpretation is, I think, considered correct by a consensus of physicists. My question is, if you knew all the causes and effects starting from initial conditions, how could the wave function collapse on an alternative to our own universe? Determinists claim that randomness is …

  17. The lever paradox and the elevator paradox are more challenges to relativity than the twin paradox and the submarine paradox. The lever paradox was raised by Xinwei Huang about in 2001. It has be discussed for many years in China. The conclusion is that special relativity can not explain the lever paradox, unless the introduction of the gravitation magnetic field hypothesis. So Xinwei Huang raised the elevator paradox about in 2004. The elevator paradox has almost no discussion because even the gravitation magnetic field hypothesis can not explain it. To solve these two paradoxes, I put forward my own theory. It can also explain the phenomenons that be explain…

    Just out of curiosity, could the manner in which we experience time, the patterns of entropy and all that good stuff be a side effect of the big bang's outward impact through space/time in which, with our perceptions being limited to this small sphere of space/time effectively appear "linear" due to how small that range is? To elaborate, lets say the big bang occurs and space/time and all matter and goodness goes flying out in every direction, in space and time. We exist at a location a certain distance from that center in both space and time. If we could "do a 180" with regards to time and head towards the center of the big bang in space, entropy would appear to go…

    Going back some thirty odd years I began developing a theory that resolved some issues I had with the standard atomic model. I am amazed where this mental experiment has taken me. Some of the concepts seem at first bizarre, then at second glance perfectly correct... for example... 1. Gravity is an outside force acting upon the universe and not from within. 2. Time has no beginning or end. 3. The universe has no beginning or end. 4. Gravity is pouring energy into our universe at an exponentially increasing rate. 5. Time as well as space are being distorted at the same exponential rate. 6. The "Big Bang" is an illusion of our perception created by th…

  22. With a self regulating system - entropy could be said to be decreasing, so hypothetically if a self regulating system were large enough (or capable of growing large enough) to take up a significant portion of the entire environment could it be said to violating the second law of thermodynamics? i.e. could a rapidly growing culture of intelligent life avert the heat death of the universe?

    Here is my take on the theory of everything. please bear with me, I take my concept of the theory of everything from Taoism, in that in everything there is balance and both sides of the that balance total to equal zero. Now taking that into account here it is: E_1 = E_2 E_1 - E_2 = 0 E_1 is energy E_2 is also energy i know that sounds ridiculous because obviously energy is going to equal energy. But you cant quite think of it like that, rather one energy is not quite equal to another form of energy. Let me try to put it into perspective. lets say that in a system you have Heat energy (denoted as H_e), Light energy (L_e) Momentum (M_E) a…

  24. It seems to be said, fairly often, that "gravitationally bound objects experience no expansion of spacetime". For example, the incessant "stretching" of Spacetime does not "rip apart" our Solar System, nor our Galaxy, nor our Local Group. So, once a "glob" of matter becomes "gravity bound", the Spacetime it occupies (apparently) stops "stretching", and "freezes out" of the background Hubble Expansion. If so, perhaps archaic bound objects, like the early dwarf proto-galaxies (which were ~1% the mass of current galaxies) which formed in the first billion years of the Cosmos' existence, managed to "lock in" and "preserve" their local Spacetime fabric, in its original "…

  25. Since the "Big Bang", the fabric of Spacetime has "stretched", so much so, that the resulting expansion of the universe could be called the "Big Stretch" (Carroll & Ostlie. Intro. Mod. Astrophys.). Now, when any physical object stretches, it thins out. Thus, the fabric of Spacetime could (conceivably) have been "thicker", in the perpendicular Hyperspace "w" dimension, back when the universe was younger. Now, Variable Speed-of-Light Theories posit that the Speed of Light was significantly swifter in the early universe. Thus, it could (conceivably) be the case, that the Speed of Light is faster in "thicker" Spacetime. Furthermore, Plasmas produce Index…
