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.

    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…

  2. 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?

  7. 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...

  9. 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…

  13. 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…

    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 …

    Some negative systemic charge should be expected to exist upon a protostar. No matter how slight that systemic charge might be, some migration of charged particles would result in an inward trend for positive ions and an outward trend for electrons. Increased systemic charge would increase the percentage of ionizations to be drawn by systemic traction and the rate of their acceleration. As the protostar compresses, increased surface ion density accompanies its increased temperature, leading to an acceleration of charged particle migration. Our brains seem wired to most readily appreciate the shell of electrons that would form around such a developing protostar, but pe…

    The universe is infinite in its volume, and within the infinite universe there is an infinite amount of Planets and other formations composed of and containing X (X also being infinite but not increasing?) amount of matter. Now for the sake of this idea, we will assume that with an infinite amount of planets with infinite variance in conditions, there is life besides that found on Earth. My question is, can life evolve from an elemental composition radically different from that of a humans? Under the conditions found on Earth, Oxygen and Carbon were the most ideal/only way for life to form. But is there a specific reason on Planet X, that X conditions made it mo…

  19. :doh:MOTION of FREE BODIES ON SCREW TRAJECTORY On my site link removed the numerous evidences, that any free bodies both micro and macroworld move on a screw trajectory are adduced. The reasons of such motion are shown. Apparent consequents of screw motion: 1. Only abstract mathematical image as a projection of a particle to an axis of a screw trajectory will obey Newton first law and even in this case cannot distinguish right-handed motion from left-handed, i.e. Newton first law is erroneous. 2. Wave-corpuscle dualism of microparticles is motion them on a screw trajectory. 3. All "wave" properties of particles are a consequent of screw motion of these parti…

    Impossible? No, I don't think so. It's on the contrary, obvious that it can be no other way. People, including me, have a tendency to frame shift when talking about the universe. And it's often difficult to tell if someone has frame shifted, when thinking about an object in space, in terms of where and what it is. Its important to talk about two distinct and often confused nows. There is the personal, human now, in terms of what we see, when we look out into the expanse of space. And there is the universal, god like perspective, minds eye picture, of what the universe "looks like", NOW. The two are often confused, and the translation from one to the othe…

    I'm a relatively new cognitive psychology student, but older than most of my peers. I've been an "amateur" for years, analyzing subjectively--kind of a philosopher, if you will. I plan on going into research, and probably writing, combining the objective with the subjective. Thing is, I've just come up with a hypothesis which is scientifically testable, and kind of a "big deal" if it can be shown accurate. I'm confident it is, but I have no status, and lack knowledge of procedure. My question: Is there some way to document this hypothesis officially, making it available to the research community, and receive some credit as "The guy who thought of it first?" If th…

The need for human beings to find their way out of the maddness we all inherited seems to me, to be of paramount importance. I believe Primal Therapy offers the only true cure for neurosis. The only way to free ourselves of all the old fears,pains,anger and such that most of us have piled up within ourselves over our lifetimes. Dr. Arthur Janov dicovered this therapy over 40 years ago and has worked with thousands of cleints over those many years and devoted much of his time and resources toward researching his new therapy.

    The first 0D location is within infinite potential locations. A second location can't exist in the same place as the first, but it can't exist seperate from it either because each of the two points have equal relevance to eachother and distance is a relative value, not singular. I would like to say the two points are gravitionally packed and create no distance. A third point is also gravitationally packed forming a conceptual eq. triangle but there is no distance, because there is not a relative value, only a single one. The fourth point creates a conceptual tetrahedron and all values are still equal, not relative, so there is no relative space. Only an infini…
