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.

Alternative Twins Paradox The traditional twins paradox is solved such that all agree the traveling twin is younger because of non-symmetric acceleration. However, the uniform acceleration equations and Lorentzian transformations of special relativity are all that are needed. So, this twins paradox will produce symmetric acceleration and force SR to exclusively explain reciprocal time dilation. O and O' are physicists testing special relativity. These physicists are going to test the aging of two twins. O, O', twin1 and twin2 are in the same frame and sync their clocks with Einstein's clock synchronization method. They all agree to burn for BT and agree on t…

I just got back from an exceedingly long, and alternately fascinating and extraordinarily boring journey through WMAPs summation of seven years of observations. Although the charts and graphs were in many instances indecipherable to me, many were not. I will talk about one of those graphic illustrations in a moment. One stunning revelation was the truly astonishing bias of the authors of the study. Reading their comments, and conclusions, I found that in one breath, they place severe restrictions on various predictions/assumptions regarding inflationary theories, and in the next breath they speak in glowing terms of the 'promise' of various inflation theories ... …

Please try not to take offense by the things I am about to say. It is not meant to be condescending. I am not a mathematician. I am not a physicist. I am an OBSERVER with sufficient wattage between my ears to make rational, logical ( in most cases ) sense of my observations. "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." So many here speak in 'absolutes'. NEVER. EVER. WILL ALWAYS. You just can't seem to learn from the mistakes of those who came before you. These issues ... the structure, form, and functions of our universe are FAR from 'settled'. One hundred years ago, we had theoretical mathematical models of the universe. The Univ…

I tried doing the math myself once but couldn't work out the darn Mayan calendar properly...then I found the quote below here...which basically confirmed all my suspicions about 2012 and how it links with our galactic cycle and the Mayan calender. http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/08/is-there-a-milk.html and http://www.livescience.com/space/scienceastronomy/070423_cosmic_evo.html http://www.itwire.com/content/view/11573/1066/ http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/08/is-there-a-milk.html Galactic Drift and Mass Extinction We pass through the galactic belt about every 30-35My...a full up-down cycle takes around 63My...and mass extinctions seem to h…

I just read a post on a closed thread. It stated that the rate of the universe is expanding, because, distant galaxies and cosmololgical features are receeding faster than local galaxies. This makes no sense to me. It seems to me that being in the past, that they would be moving away faster if the galaxy was expanding faster in the past. I don't get it. My understanding was that the rate of expansion was determined as a relative rate of increase in reference distance, per time period. One would expect that if the rate of expansion was increasing, extactly the opposite would occur, local galaxies would receed faster that middle distance galaxies, but no…

Totally new here. I don't expect to hang around. I am not a physicist. I am more philosophical, so I am bringing a philosophical question, given that physics is really the philosophy of physics. Here is the simple logical train of thought that I followed. I just want to know if there would be any value in it. Perhaps, this line of reasoning is old hat, and has been rejected. I came to these conclusions using proactive Occam`s Razor. Rather that using Occam`s Razor to assess the value of competing theory, or conjecture, It occurred to me to start with a problem and look for the simplest possible explanation. There are many views on cosmology. Howev…

Can you mathematically represent thermodynamic behavior of everything? If this is true, does that have any special significance? For instance with the electroweak force, and the hopes of unifying all forces and or symmetry. If you can apply the concept of thermodynamics to any natural phenomena, does this tie into why science is concerned with combining fundamental forces? Also Being a major component of such an endeavor as a GUT theory primarily deals with energy, does energy being a major factor itself also automatically include thermodynamics as an important component.

To me the following argument seems air tight logical but I never seem able to convince anybody as to is correctness . Any inputs from readers would be most appreciated . I tend to be pro choice on the abortion issue because I feel the act of termination in a sudden & painless manner and w/o anticipatory FOREKNOWLEDGE on the part of the victim does in fact do no harm or cause any suffering to that victim . Even if somebody suddenly killed me in a similar manner , they would have done no harm to ME . To believe otherwise is to ASSUME that one enters another realm of conciousness wherein one experiences everlasting regret at having been deprived of life . They may ha…

Hello everyone. New guy. I think this forum's rules are wound a little less tightly than some, but I will apologize anyway ahead of time ... just in case. And of course if you wish to throw me off the site .... I need help. I am not all that bright even though I have been contemplating the universe for about 50 years. A fairly respected cosmologist/astrophysicist offered me 'serious consideration' and probable funding through his institute if I can devise an experiment supporting my model. ( not my first offer ) This in response to the letter I sent him that follows. Many scientists have looked at my model, and none have found ( or bothered to tell me ) a critical…

I was just wondering with all the advancements in genetics over the past few years if its possible yet for nanite to completely build a DNA molecule. I dont have any education in genetics yet because I'm still in high school. I know DNA is A's, C's,T's, and G's. I was thinking that if the information was loaded into a computer that had all the information for a particular DNA molecule that it could program nanites to build it. I think this might be to futuristic though.

Could it be- a new way of thinking...Using other parts of the brain? Maybe over the year's we as humans have forgot the true meaning of life? Money and material goods are seemingly controlling our lives and also corrupting it. People get paid on TV nowadays just to be happy- when there are little kids dying each day of hunger, but these so called "icons" do not acknowledge it. Our government is run by these officials but we do not know what is going on behind close doors. We watch the TV day by day and listen to these people, but we still do not have a clue what is going on in our government, and in the world around us. We all kind of live in our own little world.…

How I Became World's #1 Einstein Groupie by K. B. Robertson A Brief History of a Series of Discoveries In the experience of this author there are two histories of the evolution of physics. The objective history that was established by the men and women who contributed to it’s progressive evolution, and the subjective history of this author’s learning of that evolution and then recognizing and authenticating an unprecedented statement - previously proven but continuingly unrecognized on the foundations of physical science. Discovering that Newton’s gravity is Einstein’s 4-dimensional space time continuum did not happen in premeditation, or all at once, o…

I am new to this Forum but I am looking forward to reading all the Theories that are there, I personally do not believe in The "Big Bang Theory" the speed of light being constant, so E=Mc2 is wrong, and linear Time,I will have many alternative points of view, I am an Electronic Engineer so I do know from the Atom, and I am looking forward to other input, but it is late at the moment in my time zone so am going to bed, looking forward to Ideas!!!!

Dark Matter Theory by Larry McCarthy Dose it take twice as much fule to navigate through Dark MATTER ? I"m facinated by the subject ; DARK MATTER. I think I know what produces "DARK MATTER" at -272 degrees (kelvin) or absolute 0 the coldness of space is the "MEDIUM"to Dark Matter. "DARK MATTER" is "FROZEN COMPACTED ATOMS" Also , the inferred tellescope registerds "DARK MATTER" as a "DENSE OBJECT" but the dense object is "FROZEN COMPACTED ATOMS" compacted by the cold. sincerly, thank you very much Larry McCarthy 01-28-10

This thought experiment is modeled after the train/embankment thought experiment of Einstein. There will be two observers, O and O'. The only change is to turn the problem into a 2-D problem instead of 1-D. So, each observer is centered in a circle, the two circles are of rest radius r and are in relative motion along a common x-axis. Similar to the lightning strikes, the O circle has lasers at every point aimed at the origin O. Now, when O' and O are coincident, the lasers on the circle of O all fire at the same instant. Conclusion: 1) O will see all the laser strikes as simultaneous. 2) O' will not see the laser strikes as simultaneous. [Edit: Las…

I really must put this into a general category because no other category on this form is related to actual science in my view, in fact all of the standard model, cosmologies of science is repugnant. Thus, i pose this topic as a general science topic. All of the universe is electrical / magnetic in nature, I know that all moving bodies in space can be described as a form of electromagnetism not gravity. Primary solar rays as Tesla described are emitted by the sun and are harmonic and relativistic explanations that the sun is governed by a underlining from of nature that exists in the universe through the media, as understood to be electricity. The sun is of plasma, whi…

All other forces, special cases of gravity. How can we prove? Black holes. Here are the best proof! Gravitation can compress and break up the matter at the subatomic particles. It is obvious that gravity is the main form of interaction in the universe. There is a formula: E = mc ^ 2. (F = G * m1*m2/r^2 - Newton's gravitational formula.) Gravitational waves have a speed of light "c". You can ask two questions. What exactly interacts force of gravity? With a mass or energy? Known effect of micro lenses, when a black hole deflect the rays of light. Light rays consist of photons. Photons have no mass. However, the photons have only energy. S…

Just think...really think...how much do you know about reality...how long have you been here...how long has anything existed anywhere and what existed before that...what the hell do we really know about anything at all...we are in the infant stages of development...we are an infant species, yet we think what we see is what we get...reality is reality...if you aren’t with it you need a sla…

Is it possible that within a Black Hole mass has converted to energy that is to say that we observe the effect of the Black Hole energy value (not the Effect of the Black Hole in mass values). Therefore in the Schwarzschild radius equation m should be replaced with E. This would mean that the Schwarzschild radius equation for mass would be m=r/2G (r=2Gm).
