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.

  1. Think of all the possibilities, to be able to perfectly control photons on a atomic scale. we would be able to make "live" robots or nanobots. if we were able compress photons so much that they became a "solid" substance.... what properties do you think it would have? Or even the thought of "faster than light" space travel if we can create a "gap" big enough to have a ship in. ideas on how to do so well mine would be creating a "solid" shield of solidified photons. Energy cannot dissapear, photon are a type of energy as well so when you go somewhere that is completely dark light always gets in while you are entering so when you seal the area where does that energy go? al…

The bare admittance of the possibility of a "multiverse" or the idea that with every possible outcome to every single situation in all existence creates new individual universes corresponding with each possible outcome. Because of that there are innumerable other realities, corresponding with every single choice of every single creature that can make a choice.

  4. Dear friends, In 1920, Einstein had made a quotation as; According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standard of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. This is according to Frank Wilczek (a Nobel Prize winner in physics 2004) recent book - “The Lightness of Being (Mass, Ether, and the Unification of forces)”, in which he has talked about Einstein’s aether as – “Einstein’s relationship with the aether was complex and changed over time “! …

  5. The author analyzed the possibility to present the particles with nonzero rest-mass by localized wave objects similar to "standing wave" type, which are composed of multidirectional harmonics of approximately one frequency, objects, which are capable to move (to travel). This is a certain form of modified "running wave", closed on itself, that is modified photon. That is why in such objects some frequency prevails, which corresponds to Planck’s low and the waves with Compton wavelength. The article (key words "RHEED spassky") shows the samples of RHEED with evidence of the existence of these waves in the electron.

  7. I came across this website which presents test results from compressed magnetic radiation analysis. Among the test results presented was the concept of pharmaceutical formulation using compressed field magnetic reactors. http://www.gmxxnet.com/6.html <note last 3 paragraphs of this report...> The author apparently attempted to ask various parties for help analyzing his new compound formulations, but his venture capital knowledge was questionable. http://www.gmxxnet.com/91.html Does anyone find his test result presentations credible? Lots of words, but are they enough to be credible. W.A. Aissa and M.F.El-Amin, from Aswan University, have published double…

    I thought folks might be interested in the square craters in New Mexico and Texas. I can't find any reference to them. But, depending on the strength of the surface, sometimes all that happens is a squarish, thermal, blast burn; others, a full fledged square crater. And squarish multi-lobed craters are common. They are very easy to spot. No two are exactly alike. They are all in the same recent condition. And I've cataloged over 500 of them. This 8.5 meg PDF has a sampling of 50 of them: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2268163/SquareCraters.pdf So far no one wants to talk about them. Is this a case of science in denial?

    This is my speculation I believe energy is the only thing that exists. It is either with mass or without. It is either in kinetic or potential state. Everything you observe is energy in its least resistant state in that particular instant. It is always changing in and out of form never being created or destroyed. I don't think we necessarily have the freewill we think we do. Sure we can make choices but if they make us more resistant to energy then we pay a price with our health! This energy acts like it has its own mind taking the least resistant path like water! People might pick up this energy through intuition and make Gods and religions and all kinds of beli…

  11. "There is no space empty of field." - Einstein "In his novel, THE SEARCH, C.P. Snow describes the reaction of a student in class on hearing the physics professor say he is not sure whether some of of the subject matter in the course is right. This indication of disagreement of those inside physics comes as a surprise to the student; he has heard of past scientific controversies, but the current science which he is studying seemed to lack them altogether, as if scientist-authorities backed it up by unanimous vote. 'Science', writes Snow, 'had seemed to be without people or contradictions.' "The knowledge that physics is not as unanimous or bloodless as it may appear …

    today energy is the most important subject. i have a invention to change the Power from a Ferrite magnet to electricity. a Ferrite magnet gives us a indefinite absorbing and repellent energy. but You might ask yourself what does power have to do with energy? a simple example is when you put two similar poles of a Ferrite magnet together they exorcise each other this causes a suden dynamic energy! but this dynamic energy finished when the two magnets are yonder. there is a way in which that magnets keep their repel and still stay together! this method can be used in cars and to produce electricity and it stops global warming, polution poverty and drought At first g…

    The Earth is in a happy place - not too far from the Sun and not too close so that temperatures are intolerable. We have an electromagnetic field, and an ozone layer which protect us like an umbrella from harmful electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. The planet is mostly a watery domain. We have recycling systems for water, carbon and nitrogen. To my mind, it seems inevitable that life would arise and spread on the Earth. Additionally, it seems inevitable that life will occur on other Earth-like planets with the same features as the Earth. There seems to be a cosmological program called LIFE v1.0 which is circulating around the Universe, and to my mind, life…

    Okay. Fist of all, hi I'm new. I really don't know which forum this theory should go into. Since it delves into some pseudoscience topics though It might fit here. My theory is basically that while our bodies are on this dimension, our minds are on another. I think that these two dimensions are entangled or merged together. I think that happened with the big bang. They say that two membranes collided and bounced off eachother to create the big bang. I say what if they never separated? Astral Projection is when you move in a 'second' body to move around. You can go through walls, get to any destination quickly and change your form. You can't do that in this…

  18. Can anyone help me with the necessary physics? I am not a scientist. I was whacked by Quantum Physics - the double slit experiment for example ( ). I am also extremely intrigued by dark matter/energy, which are thought of as separate-from-each-other phenomena (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091102121644.htm). I believe they are the same, capable of displaying different states. I believe they are made up of extremely tiny particles with special properties that are affected by thought waves. I have reasons to believe this. I call these particles teeny tinies. My idea has to do with ESP, too. I don't know if that means my idea is not welcome he…

  19. The Universe appears to be expanding, with Galaxies moving further away from each other and some coming closer. Could this be explained by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity? I wonder if the universe did occur from a "Big Bang". But there can be another speculation, that the universe is way older then we expected and that is why there is a loss in the account of the total mass and energy in the whole. Why is the universe older? Well imagine a bubble, and inside this bubble was our known universe (our observations). If the time within the bubble was different to the time outside the bubble then the time inside the bubble would be slower then the outside. I…

    Could you make a series of wells based on probability to amplify a particle that is quantum tunneling. Say you could make a well that made a certain barrier statistically for a particle to tunnel, could you on the other side of that make a similar barrier but based on a particle that has already tunneled, and in turn basically make a series of that where each barrier is based on the previous one, or would a particle that tunneled have to come out on the other side with no way to interact with the next barrier in a similar manner while being still in the state from the first tunneling event. particle(A)->barrier(A)->particle(A+tunnel A)->barrier(b) and so…

  22. It has been claimed by many philosophers, theologians, and scientists that it is illogical to clain that anything infinite can be contained in something finite. For example, the human mind, something finite and imperfect, could never fully understand or comprehend or "become" God because God is infinite. Just like 5 L of water can't be contained in a 4L container, something of infinite volume cannot be contained in any finite container. However, think about the number line. Between the 2 fixed points 0 and 1, there are an infinite number of points. This infinite amount of points is contained in a very finite space. If every point between 0 and 1 was a step, and you tr…

    It is now considered by physicists that other universes besides our own could exist in a grand multiverse. One thing led to another, and scientists have hypothesized that universes can be created by collisions of the membranes of other universes, causing explosions, which, ultimately, means that we can, one day, create custom universes in a lab, and that custom universe will, in pectoseconds, seperate itself from our universe. It will grow to astronomical sizes, but never take up any space or time in our universe. However, the Big Bang is "big" relevant to what? Of course it's relevent to us, but that rhetorical question was designed to lead to this statement: Any…
