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.

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…

"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…

TV THAT WATCHES YOU Invasion by Satellite. Copyright © 1983, ‘88, ‘92, 2001 & 2006 by K. B. Robertson _____________________________________________ Audio-visual projection and assimilation of images and sounds from movie theater sound tracks and projectors, and then home stationed television receivers, is scientifically agreed as being tantamount to 'artificial experience.' Film 'movies' with sound tracks, as conveyances of education, art and entertainment, entered the three and a half million year old human experience about a hundred years ago. Significantly began to influence 'the masses' from about 1920; the…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Wikipedia gives the value for finding the Schwarzschild radius as approximately equal to 2.95. A theory under development predicts a value of 2.8615. I would like a professional opinion on whether the prediction falls within the area of acceptability or probability.

I am an australian high school student and was watching a program on tv explaining one of Steven Hawkings theroes about negative-positive particle cancelation and blackholes, and the came up with 2 questions: 1) If a blackhole is absorbing energy from light and chemicular reactions of normal particles, while also absorbing anti-matter particles (created in close proximity to the blackhole) that can decrease the said blackholes mass, does the energy increase the number of anti-matter particles created close to the blackhole that are then absorbed by it? 2) If so then is there a possibility that an equilibrium state can be made where the current mass of the blackhole…

If it's ok I borrowed this from Rixon Stuart and Richard Stone! I truly believe that Logic can come to a truth. I just don't believe science will be able to come to a truth until it is willing to engage in the fact that what people are sensing as a spiritual presence and supernatural phenomenon is real and tangible! If science always discards it as myth than science in no way can prove it wrong otherwise but each has a right to their belief. I personally believe that there is a science behind the super natural that one day will be discovered. Now its all belief and speculation for me because well I don't know jack about science and two, its a mystery to…

Hello, why not check out http://vixra.org/pdf/0908.0005v1.pdf This very simple theory gives a good match to data (apparent omega(m)=0.25) without dark energy. Recent COSMOS/WMAP http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0911/0911.0053v1.pdf especially Figure 12,14 and 15 shows omega(m) approx 0.266 John Hunter.

Quantum Gravity just a theory A star explodes in a ball of clear jelly we call space, the star explodes it creates a black hole. The black hole is shaped like a yard of ale glass, the opening would be the event horizon the tube being the singularity, and the ball end containing the new galaxy created by the star. The star that created the black hole also created the new galaxy light years away from the even horizon. like a waterfall the black hole is very similar, the water falls very fast however the water travels some distance to the sea which is greater than the waterfall. That new galaxy had a star explode to create another galaxy and so o…

I hear people say that the big bang wasn't big or a bang, they say it was a expansion of space-time. But you can say that a explosion is a rapid expansion of hot gas and flame..... I know that space-time expanded faster than light, but what about all the energy? How fast did it expand?

Just wondering... I don't understand why a true 'seed' AI program has never been developed after numerous decades of this concept existing in some form or another. In it's most simple form, seed AI does this: 1) A program with preexisting functionality performs some change upon itself; any part of the program can be. The change can be entirely random or partially guided by the programmer. 2) If the program crashes or cannot compile, return to step 1. Otherwise, run the program again and test its performance against its original performance. 3) If new performance is superior in its functionality, then the new version is used and returned to step 1. If …

Enter the world of science fiction were proof is not necessary and interesting and mind blowing is gets more points! Many Worlds responsible for Dark Energy When an ‘object’ takes action-X, all possible actions that ‘object’ could have taken form a probability wave which either collapses into action-X or the wave fails to collapse and each possible action is taken each splitting off into a parallel universe. The latter is the Many Worlds Interpretation, which exists because, so far, the wave collapse has not been detected. The Many Worlds Interpretation will be used to explain dark energy. Furthermore, M-Theory will be used and an element of this will be used t…
