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.

Hallo, I have a new theory: - We all know that matter and energy can change to eachother. (e=mc2) - If matter has a weak attraction effect (known as gravity), maybe energy has a weak repel effect (dark energy?). There is some experiments that we can do to test this theory. We can weigh a block two times. At the first time we weigh it hot, and at the second time we weigh it cold. The hot block must be lighter than the cold one (becouse the hot energy repels with the gravity of Earth). We need to have a very precisely weighing-machine to do that. Another experiment is to look at the more when it is half lighted. My picture shows my idea. The illuminated side…

Ok, so my wife and I were talking last night and somehow we got to talking about "thoughts" and what they are. Curious. We were debating, from absolute ignorance mind you, what dimensions they occupy. When you have a mental image, or whatnot, how does it exist? In what dimension does it exist in, if at all? I could see time as one. But I can't imagine they would exist in any spatial plane. She was saying something about memories and proteins, and that thoughts are essentially chemicals interacting with the brain or something like that, and so exist in all 4 dimensions. I thought this sounded more like the background structure that supports "thought". Ki…

This is a new and original concept AS FAR I KNOW. This concept is that if water could be changed from a liquid to a solid fast enough that the ratio of hydrogen bonds existing in this " SUPER-QUICK FROZEN ICE" would be the same as that of water close to it`s freezing point. There would be no permanent hydrogen bonds as exists in normal ice. The proof that this prior to now, unconcieved of form of ice was formed would be that it would sink in water unlike normal ice that floats in water.The reason it would sink is that it would have the same ratio of hydrogen bonds as water close to it`s freezing temperature and no more permanent hydrogen bonds than the number of hydrogen…

At the end of the Cretaceous period dinosaurs were tending toward larger brains and grasping hands (some of them) In this thread lets discuss the possibility that a civilization of intelligent dinosaurs may have exacerbated the ecological collapse at the end of the Cretaceous and the proposed impactors might have just delivered the straw that broke the planets ecological back. Some say we are in the middle of a vast extinction caused by human activity, could an civilization of intelligent dinosaurs have had a similar effect? Here is a supporting thread to get the debate started. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/michael.magee/awwls/00/wls143.html

So here I am again braving it to ask you all what do you think of this.. I have been recently looking into free energy with magnets...... (yeah I know typical cliche) But I cam across the Perendev motor... web page http://www.perendev-power.com/ So I was impressed with this and also Ferro fluid (magnetic fluid) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJGBy_yygaQ Now this made me think, and I do believe I have come up with an idea on how to utilise both of these and create a three way generator. I have placed pictures in on my skydrive. http://cid-7600e8759e1cd056.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Threeway%20Generator 3-Way Perpetua…

After the intelligent dinosaur thread I think I'll go ahead and completely destroy any credibility i have and ask this question. If indeed at some point (preferably in the near future) we discover a way to travel FTL easily on the scale of the Star Trek Universe and we find the galaxy is full of very humanoid intelligent beings what does it say about the idea of intelligent design? I used to argue with a friend who said that TV shows like Star Trek were Satanic because they led people away from the idea of God. My answer was that they show is quite the opposite because if the real universe would turn out to be similar to the Star Trek universe it would pretty much pr…

Please read my article: the original HTML: http://james.freehoster.co.cc/is.html if you prefer PDF: http://vixra.org/pdf/0910.0003v1.pdf I will listen carefully to all your comments. Abstract: Some inexplicable statistical variations in Nobel Prize laureates natal data are reported and discussed, plus additional data is considered afterwards. If observed on other similar data, e.g. National Medal of Science laureates, the effect can be considered as astroanthropological. The observed strong correlation with Quaoar position is probably caused by the fact that Quaoar's cycle correlates with a non-trivial solar, lunar or terrestrial cycle. It is well known that some s…

As relativity says about simultaneity: In the universe action and reaction are simultaneous, so simultaneity does exist in that way. I guess entanglement is simultaneous too. Interesting really. Potential is a strange concept too, it basically means 'could be' so I think various possible states would exist simultaneously and it 'could be' any and all of them. Various simultaneous possibilities - potential. It led me to think that potential has a relativity of its own and the various states could be described seperately, then said to exist simultaneously. I would be interested in any scientific data or speculative reflections on this if you pleas…

This Is a theory of mine: It is possible that the infintesimaly small singularity spark that ignited the big bang was a super element fluctuating between every isotope and when it reached critical mass of an electric charge possibly trillions of yottawatts the impossibly unstable super element exploded into every element on the periodic table with an infinite amount of elements yet to be discovered and created.

I was speculating on UFOs for abit, watching NASA footage of unidentified spacecraft. And I think those weird shapes of spacecraft is probably due to "aliens" using Bioships (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioship). These bioships come in a variety of sizes and shapes because the ship "grows" extra limbs or something. And I also saw "unidentified objects" in the NASA footage's appearing out of nowhere. So probably these aliens programmed these flying organisms to travel at the speed of thought. Cause physical can travel faster than the speed of light, but what about the speed of thought? Maybe the bioship has it's own brain or something.

if you go back in time, do you continue the aging process? Like would it be possible (if time travel was a confirmed reality) to travel back to the very beginning of time, and watch the universe grow up until the point in time when you originally went back without growing any older?

Black holes are objects, whose gravity field energy, outside of Schwarzschild radius, is equal to the rest energy, mc^2, - the energy of mass m, concentrated on the Schwarzschild sphere. Magnetic holes are objects, whose magnetic field energy, outside of critical magnetic radius is equal to the rest energy, mc^2, the energy of mass m, concentrated inside the critical magnetic radius. Magnetic holes were invented by alternative-physicists, as a result, this theory will not be accepted by orthodox-physicists, as a result, microscopic magnetic holes will be created soon (may be in November 2009)… Fasten your belts… What is electric hole? ...Classical radius... Do not …

Have you watched your eyes?! Kindly report what you see of your own eyes, the lids, the lashes, the corners. Let us build a data-base in this forum of what we all see. There is a lot to see, By the way From among our reported experiences we will slowly evolve a home -brew eye yoga of sorts, Of beauty, of de-stress etc. For, is it not said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! We should have enough data to interest experts to investigate & comment and make it all real to us objectively. I need your feedback for me to have faith in watching my own eyes. Though I have found it good, I rarely remember to watch it but leap into the world forgetting all a…

Hi! A space ship lands on Earth and during the initial exchange (aided by a translator the aliens developed on their way here) this technologically superior alien makes the following statement: "So sorry Earthling but, the universe... it is not expanding!" What basic assumption have we had wrong that would allow for such a mistake? Rusty Edit: There is a correct answer.

Okay, I am getting stuck in a paradigm I think is self designed in total and I am not all to comfortable with it. Basically in this view I hold that matter=reality, and the only fundamental property of matter is that it transforms. This transformation process at any giving time is basically the geometry, forces, etc, that make up the visible universe. Now I know this sounds like a play on classical definition of chemistry, but in all reality I am just looking for something that counters the view in total. I get this idea from physics up to the big bang, as currently held physical models fall apart at that point, which to me means the visible universe was something…

I was thing about Quantum mechanics and it's inconsistency with general theory of relativity. So after much thought I think I have figured it out. But there is ZERO evidence for it, thus I am posting in the pseudo-science section. Lets assume that space-time isn't a flat sheet. Lets assume that space-time is quantized. Let me break down into laymens terms, imagine a bunch of balls connected to each other via springs. Now space-time is only quantized around a object, such as the Earth. This happens because of the tension change in the space. When a object moves near the quantized space the balls begin to oscillate and tug against the object. The front section is c…

Gravity could be the interplay of the -expansion of matter- versus the expansion of space. More specifically, it is the expansion of "repulsive" activity (matter making contact with matter) and the amount of space expansion going on between them. More space expansion (greater the distance between the objects) = less gravitational effect (less "pull" between them) A few weird things that this would mean: --Things do not "pull" eachother, but they actually expand into eachother. So nothing really falls into something, it is actually growing to the point of bumping into something else. --The past is very very small in comparison to the future, but we can't tell b…

How I Became World's #1 Einstein Groupie by K. B. Robertson A Brief History of a Series of Discoveries (If this factual report reads sort'a like a fairy tale, it's likely because in many - if metaphorical - ways, that's what it is.) 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. …

You are all wrong...Things do actually get smaller the further away from you they are...We are in a shrinking universe...The further things are from you in time the smaller they are.....That is why when you approach something,the time it takes to reach it means that it retuns back to it's "normal" size relative to you.If we could approach something in the distance at the speed of light ie in "no time" It would actually be dwarfed by us.This is why a laser beam diverges into the distance.... and why it doesn't follow the earths curve into the distance...because at the speed it travels the beam you perceive is actually travelling into the past and the earth would have been …
