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.

Okay, I may sound like a broken record but the 2012 "end of the world" doomsday. Follow me here. In basic terms, time repeats itself. In a theory of time every moment in time must eventually repeat itself. So, hypothetically, the big bang can be explained as a human event. Look at the LHC (i believe that is what it is called) that is soon to create a synthetic "big bang". Well, if this theory of time is true, then I believe that the big bang was created in a lab and we are stuck in an infinite loop. Every time the big bang is created it starts the line over, not like time travel, but rather following time laws of massive events repeating themselves. That would exp…

Dear SFN Member: I am not a physicist, but am a theoretical thinker. I am looking to publish a book and would like to include other theory and commentaries related to the core topic. It is an essay on Relative Gravity. In looking at Kepler, Newton, Einstein and even Faraday, although their thinking was for their particular context, they shared symmetry in principles. For example, a circle with respect to a wheel. This symmetry is exploited in the essay that I wrote as abstract properties: Relative Gravity is the potential energy of bodies purported as amplitude in kinetic energy and expressed in the form of a resonant frequency between them. The resonant…

http://sites.google.com/site/coriolislife/ Warnings: It's a very long read, but then again it's trying to unify biology, biochemistry, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, physiognomy, etc. It gives no citations to science journals. For some supplementary evidence, I give you the twirling motion of vines: And to really see how matter travels to "converging point" and "tail", I give you hurricanes in motion: When you watch this, imagine that each of those hurricanes is the formation of a leaf or human ear. I've been taught that Mendelian genetics dictates whether the human earlobe is attached or free. But this theory is a simpler, more elegant explanat…

Casimir effect varies time supporting Lorentzian Ether Theory By froarty Numerous claims of anomalous heat between atomic hydrogen and catalysts support the “relativistic” hydrogen theory [1]of Jan Naudts. Naudts theory resolved the controversy regarding fractional hydrogen but introduced “relativistic” hydrogen inside a stationary reactor! This is not hydrogen accelerated through space to luminal velocities; this concept requires “equivalent motion” between time and space but unlike the slowing of time by a gravitational mass associated with normal equivalence, this solution accelerates time. When defects or cavities occur in a conductive mass meeting Casimir geomet…

Individuality is becoming ever more a rarer and rarer thing. Individuals are now frowned upon by society at large. Is this a new stage of evolution, in which humans are in the early stages developing a collective consciousness? More and more people are conforming to "normality",-definition of normality being- adhering to a standard, pattern. Is this the start of the abolishment of the individual? People dressing the same, behaving the same, eating the same foods, engaging in the same activities, (I shan't give examples as I'm sure each of us can think of many) at what point can it be said that they think the same, that they think...collectively? Nowada…

Hi all, I'm new here - I'm an 18 year old guy from Liverpool, UK. I've no formal qualification in science but a double A in science at GCSE level. Overall, I have 10 GCSE's (Above B) and 2 A-Levels. I never really wanted to go to university. That said, I have maintained and fostered an obscene extra-curricular interest in the field of science, technology and philosophy. I could write you an OS ideal to your psychology - but that would be a bit extreme, eh? I'm no academic, quite the opposite, I'm drawn to practical solutions and activity. Simotaniously though, I'm more a theorist and speculative. I like to actively improve things. Probably not one day an inspirar…

I'm suddenly interested in the idea of psychic powers. There are rumors of people who can control the minds of others, predict the future, and do many other things with their minds. However, the only form of this power that can be tested by everyone is telekinesis. You can visit http://www.crystalinks.com/psychokinesis.html to see some instructions about it. I don't have a jar and needle, so I haven't had a chance to perform the experiment yet. However, I am interested in developing this power, and then some. In fact, I have the desire for great psychic power. I want to know what others think about me. I want control of the world around me, and have some influe…

So seriously, I didn't make this up... Last night I had a dream about this crazy antigravity tube. The way it worked was as soon as you stepped into the tube you were drawn into the center. When you walked into the tube they had to attach some weird pink cylinder to the ceiling of the tube to offset your mass, like the mass of objects on the ceiling made up for the mass of the objects in the tube. Somehow. Or whatever. Also there was a dragon boat you could ride on that would fly around the inside of the tube. (Note: Dragon boat didn't flap its wings, instead it had ROCKETS) Awesome! After I woke up I thought about ways my crazy antigravity tube could be ma…

Here is an interesting problem. Please break it. The Burn Mark Problem The below experiment will avoid clocks and use light distance travel and frame distance travel. Since the SR clock synchronization method uses distance and light travel for its implementation, then distance and light travel are more fundamental than clocks. Assume a stationary light source O and target T at a distance d and a moving frame O’ moving at v in the direction of the negative x-axis. When O and O’ are co-located, O emits a light pulse. O concludes when light moves a distance d to hit the target T, the observer O’ moves to the x coordinate –vd/c. O decides to place a…

Ok, so last I heard most of science suspects multiple universes. My gee wiz questions for the day are, what would happen when two universes collide? How would we experience that? Is there such a thing as trajectory when analyzing the collision of universes, and thus a range of impact intensity or even more of a merge than a collision? Oh, another one that's always bugged me, is it assumed the laws of physics would be the same within other universes? If not, I wonder how that would effect the outcome of an impact with each other...

New to the forum, so hello. I was hoping I could get a little help with a feature in a book I'm writing (intending to publish on Lulu). I'll add thanks for any help given here at the start of the book. Really I write for my own cathartic reasons, so don't expect to see your name in lights and read by millions, but anyway... I have a fundamental grasp of physics from the work I've completed thus far on my science degree. But planetary and astrophysics is something of a tricky area for me. The planet in my book is called Kirov and its a 'gemini planet'. The world's rotation matches with its solar orbit so that one side is permanently facing space, the other perman…

I have a theory about gravitons. According to everything, if a body has more mass, it has more gravitational force. Why? It doesn't matter if it's 20 million tons of Hydrogenium or 20 million tons of Ferrum, they would both have the same gravitational force. Well, I made up a theory that each and every atom (no matter what kind) has the same amount of gravitons, the little mysterious thingys that I know almost nothing about. For what I read, gravitons carry the weakest form of fundamental forces - gravity. If so, that means that gravitons are practically gravity. no matter what kind of atom, it carrys a certain amount of gravitons. It's dumb, I know, but it's …

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 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…
