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.

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…

The more I think and ponder things, and the more I come to know, the more I realize how much I don't know...and how complex reality really is...a rock isn't just a rock...what we see isn't all there is...what our conscious mind tells us lacks most of what the subconscious mind knows. 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).

Re: Surely this is a case of QT 'point like' and classical 'volume'. Put a (point like) stone on a piece of string and drop it in a pool of water, classicist observe the wave that expands in all directions away from the stone, but Quantum theorist continue to observe the stone and see that when the stone is removed the water fills the space previously occupied by the stone and therefore quantum theorist observe ‘wave collapse’. That is to say the views of QT and classicist are not incompatible; both are correct but different observations of the same photon wave action. The implication being that the observer cannot observe both the stationary point wave action …

I am confused. Where in th above have you shown light has been measured at c in all directions and in different frames. In order to claim light is measured at c, you must actually be able to produce one way light transfer timing experiments. Do you have any?

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I figured it'd be a fun discussion: If science were able to prove beyond a shred of doubt that God (any definition of) and the afterlife did not exist, what affect, if any do you feel that would have on humanity?

If the vacuum is polarized around a object, it can lead to a repulsion force. Could a spacecraft polarize the vacuum around itself and use this as a propulsion device?

I would like to hear from scientist that has had personal experiences they could not explain through their current knowledge of science. This could be anything from perceived miracles to experiments under lab conditions. I just thought this would be interesting and fun.

Here is a new Universe for thinking about in 2010. Wishing everybody all the best. We begin with a simple diagram (i love that): fig.01 We are living in Space at Present Time: the red spot in the center. the universe is there around us. Where is it? We know that all that we can observe belong to the Past.We cannot observe events from the future, and Relativity says that we cannot see anything from the present either, because information is always transmitted at speed max=C. So here is the Observable Universe: fig.02 Great. But, wait a moment: The Universe, by definition, must belong to Present Space, isn't it? So, the "real" present Universe must be as …

The wise men were not magicians. They were scientists, perhaps the ancient astronomers. "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts: gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."

I was initially going to post this on the Physics forum, but thought better of it as I expect it would quickly end up here anyway. Just not sure if it will get much of a look-in tucked away in the closet, so as to speak. Anyway, I did a search and can find no other posts about this so thought I'd bring it to the attention of a few of you. The science appears quite fascinating to me, but I'm wondering what I might be overlooking given that it is not my primary field of expertise. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmFbINO0dCU&feature=channel Just one of many from this guy. Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

I am not pro enough at chemistry to know, but how complex can you make a equilibrium in terms of reactions. If you had some organic compounds, or for that matter some RNA, could you develop a equilibrium for reactions that as products and reactants shift, the RNA molecule or whole set of reactions could develop over time as to make new products and reactants to enter into the equilibrium? Such that maybe you had a single product/reactant set up going on, and then you added another chemical that could boost that up to two reactants/products, etc… Could you actually keep developing or adding on to that system. My idea would simply be to find a way to keep the whol…

"The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms." I believe that Einsteins Theory of Relativity is just not taken to the level of understanding which is possible with the knowledge gained from this natural phenomena. It states that time is relative to speed, while I believe that time is dependent on the motion of involved energy's. Here is my theory on Gravity (It isn't quite finished yet, as I've been coming to it's conclusion only as of late) and I welcome all criticism, regardless of content. Gravity and the Nature of the Physical Universe {Incomplete} The ma…

I wrote a short story a few years back about a rogue, very dense planet ( larger diameter than Jupiter ) on a collision course with our sun. My protagonist saves earth from total annihilation ( redundant? lol ) by engineering the the most astounding feat in Mankind's history. Moving Earth itself to a new home. Alpha Centauri. And I did it with physics. Yes. Earth makes a great space ship.

If an alien ship crashed in the 1940s and the military recovered it, why is the military technology so far behind(all you have to do to see how ancient military tech is is look at the computers on the latest and greatest aircraft carrier)? Surely in the past 70+ years we'd have been able to reverse-engineer something.

lol... we don't even know what kind of fire the sun is made of. come on guys... geeze. Once anything cross the static layer it's no longer matter. Black holes pierce space time (don't forget the negative electron universe here). The frequency of matter changes as its mass increases while approaching the black hole at the speed of light. In the Einstein classical variation this is impossible, but if you assume Maxwels position where the fHz changes as you get closer to light speed the state of matter changes in frequency. So the energy required to sustain your speed may in fact be less! But that's before you cross the static layer, because the interior of the b…

The ORBO claims to give off more energy than it takes in to a 3:1 ratio, using energy from interacting magnetic fields. This, to my mind, is classical pseudoscience, yet the CEO seems to be deluded to the point of a contestant in "Britain's Got Talent" or the "X-Factor". http://www.steorn.com/orbo/what/ A previous demonstration failed but the company continue to maintain that they have a clean energy source which can, one day, become a prime source for electrical cars etc... Your comments please... http://www.steorn.com/ http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10014630o-2000331777b,00.htm http://www.boingboing.net/2009/12/16/steorns-o…
