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.

A team at Cornell University has now filled in an important blank by pinpointing unique sites where the reactions take place on SWCNTs. The scientists showed that the reactions do not occur all along the tubes, but at the ends of the tubes or at defects along the tubes. I suggest this applies equally to all Casimir cavities in that catalytic action will only occur when the distance between the plates changes. A change in fractional quantum states of hydrogen is proposed by both Randell Mills from the perspective of catalysts and by Haisch -Moddel from the perspective of Casimir cavities. The lattice structures of metal catalysts and the cavity sizes of skeletal catalysts …

Hi, I don't really accept Complex Quantum Mechanics as speculative but to keep everyone happy I will post here. Admittedly the site is taking time to update and it may be some time before I show that the planets follow a sq root of 2 by a sq root of 3 ratio but you can download that info from my yahoo group. There is a FREE forum for you to join as well http://www.complexqm.com

How can anything cease, when you can ask what is beyond this point? If something as magnificent and grand as the universe was to cease, how, where and why? These are just some of the questions that become relevant when speaking of how can something or in this case anything end. When thinking of the beginning of the universe or the beginning of time you would imagine that it was to begin at the center and expand outwards into "Infinite space". Although, what if you were to imagine that it began at an arbitrary point in space and contracted to the center. The first disagreement you would probably think of is that it does not agree with the “Big Bang Theory”, although what i…

All time must move as fast as light to be existent in the present (as opposed to being in the future). Although why would it need to be faster? What if time did NOT travel in a direction of propagation much like light does. I believe it is more reasonable to think of constant time. So insteadof time keeping up with light it could be a "medium" for it.

The universe only exists “now”. Its past is but history reflected in present “now” Its future is yet to be. It would seem that the flow of “now” would have to be at least that of the speed of light to prevent light from running into the yet to exist future. With such speed it would seem near impossible for the “now” of an event to match exactly with the “now” of its measurement or observation. This could account for Uncertainty.

Hello all, My first post here. A long time ago I had an idea, which had a rapid expansion of time-space as a result, and of course back then this was not observed and it looked like my idea was wrong... Ten years later I hear that they found quite the opposite. Time to get that old idea moving again The idea is quite simple: Everything decays. The idea is a continuation of the quantumfield theory, which states that the 'vacuum' of space isn't empty. That is is 'alive' with particle and anti-particle creating and destruction. My idea says that every mass, is in a constant state of exchange with the 'vacuum' of space, and even though the mass seems pretty much con…

I'd really, really like to meet Max Tegmark and hope one day I have the opportunity to. Max Tegmark proposes we live in a mathematical universe where all mathematical systems are absolute, physical things, at least in some context: http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9704009 I perhaps have a fuzzy interpretation of what Tegmark is suggesting, but two of the systems which stand out in my mind as having an absolute physical presence are: cellular automata fractals The distinguishing characteristic of both of these systems is that they provide for "unlimited novelty" despite being described by relatively simplistic rules. The underlying concept is that …

So I was watching another Universe installment by the History Channel and they briefly touched on the subject of The Big Crunch theory - something about it simply being the opposite of the Big Bang in that the universe will eventually stop expanding and then contract back to that single point. Is there any reason to believe the physical laws could change, even subtley, as a result of this contraction? For that matter, is it at all plausible that the physical laws have even subtley changed over the course of our universe's 13 billion year history? In terms of fiction, that would seem interesting, but I'm betting it's short on scientific reasoning.

Very very simple Dense and massive piece. The slow time. The beginning was a dense concentration of energy, whose time was slow. Therefore, the background radiation is very stretched. the radiation waves began to move less frequently. Relative to existing energy-waves. During the first stars, the energy was more frequent than the current stars. During the first stars, the time was slow relative to the current time, the stars. Therefore, the old light is known. generally redshifting Old light waves came less frequently in relation to the existing light waves. Space has always been there. Space is not expanding or curvin…

Time is only in the present, athough you may look back at time, from example; looking at the sky at night, where some light has not reached us yet so still appears dark. you may wonder if there is some transformation from one 'now' to the next, i think this is called change. I think that two seperately occuring events have a change to transform in to the next event, I wonder if time is the 'medium' for change to occur.

Atomic Radii This thread continues the development of the concept outlined in a thread dealing with a novel table of elements that can be found on: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38674 The next step was to compare the number of inner (ie) and outer electrons (oe) with the number of neutrons (N). Arranging the outer electrons in increasing order of numbers produced the result shown in graph 1 This shows that inner electrons and neutrons have similarities in their patterns; further investigation found that the number of inner electrons divided by the number of neutrons produced a graph line (blue diamonds, graph 2) similar to a graph l…

If and when we see a psychic entity such as spirits, ghosts and other phenomena, we do not actually see them by the use of the eye. That is, light is not entering the eye from the phenomena but, the phenomenon is picked up directly by the optic and auditory nerves. Before this can happen, the mind under certain conditions drifts towards the upper and lower end of the visual electromagnetic spectrum. Thus, we may believe we see a ghost, but actually the phenomenon is projected into that part of the brain. People such as mediums can at will, can drift to that part of the spectrum when needed. The rest of us have to rely on ambient conditions for this to happen.

The “Elephant in the room” is a phenomenon which the community insists is not there. If suggested the community can offer an absolute experimental proof that this cannot exist. In the case of quantum theory the “Elephant” is the other “Planck’s constant”. Simply, if E =hf, and E = mc^2, there should be another “Planck constant” for mass. This has to be M = h(m)f , where h(m) = h/c^2 = 7.372496-51 kg.s. The consequences of this are described in the attachment. The upload limit does not allow for the supporting calculation file. please contact me if you want this. “occam” oboffd.pdf

Of all constants c is most famous. We call it speed and measure it that, but always the same speed? It's a different kind of speed for only one quantity exists, with no relative for comparison. As I see it, a constant is defined as a value which has no relative by which discernment can be made, so it is finite and has a 'value', but it's nature bears no definition (it's not really a speed), for there is no other value, only d=d, Hence now we say E=m so m=E, what disparity is there? m=E=m and who cares which or both it's the same thing dang it! And it is pertinant to c, for by contraction one location is much the same as another, so if it takes zero time to traverc…

Time, I think, could be the type of production which is created alongside the resistance of matter, or a group of matter, against change. Change is environment. If masses of matter are resisting against a black hole, their environment can be imagined as the event horizon of gravitational collapsing. Time is (let’s say 10 billion years for this particular example) something that this group of mass produce as a result of their resistance. Time is one of the things that come out of this resistance, or interaction. It does not matter for our group of gasses how long ago their resistance was started after the big bang or start of existence. Because in their previous existence …

Suppose time itself is a paradox. Would the fact that time moves forward in one direction be the result of a universe that is entangled within the grasp of reason. Could the unknown of tomorrow with the stable present caused by the creation of matter and energy from a sorce unknown be the cause of causality? Example... When you look into the mirror you know what your reflection will look like so it does not shock you. Suppose you had a mirror that showed you what you will look like tomorrow. Now upon gazing into this mirror you would at first be shocked by how different you look but you would eventualy come to terms with it and be able to look and realize what you h…

Mercury advanced perihelion could be also equally due to attraction gravity: Orbit of Mercury is roulette around the Sun, .. on a particular side of the sun, perihelion of Mercury is advanced which the Newton law on gravitation cannot explain. Until Dr. Einstein showed/proved that it was due to the curvature of space. But the attraction gravity of Newton may also be able to explain the advanced perihelion. It could be that on the roulette orbit, the side of Mercury, which is more positive is tilted and facing equally the more positive side of the Sun thus, Mercury is advanced/pushed farther on perihelion or it could be the negative of Mercury is tilted/facing t…

Suggested attraction gravity of Newton experiment, re- ball-shaped magnet Material: A bar magnet 4 inches in length and 1 ½ inch equal four sides (width). Said magnet bar with equal positive and negative in length. Cut a cube, either on positive end or negative end, and grind to make such cube perfect circle. There should be the same magnetism all over the grinded ball-shaped magnet. Magnetism and gravity are fundamentally the same, the making of the opposite law, re with equal positive and negative property. . Jsaldea12 7.10.09.

What is spacetime gravity of Dr. Einstein? The familiar illustration of Dr. Einstein spacetime gravity is that of trampoline and object dropped therein creating a dip, the heaver the object, the deeper the dip .until the deepest dip is reached: a collapsed object becomes a black hole. It appears something is wrong with this illustration. It is impossible in actual outer space. Dr. Einstein, in later years, said, “I cannot anymore recognize my relativity…”.? The spacetime gravity of Dr. Einstein appears to be better illustrated as a half floating rotating ball on body of water that creates circular ripples or curves on body of water. But as electro-magne…

Nah! Since you meant "rest mass" your statement was basically correct. I used the term "basically" because I assume you had something very specific in mind when you said it, e.g. that the proper mass of a photon is zero. There are instances where one could say that "light" (as in multiple photons) has non-zero rest mass. For example: when a physicist says that light has zero “rest mass” they are referring to the fact that since the energy of light is related to its momentum by the expression E = pc the norm of the photon's 4-momentum equal to zero. However if you had an ideal gas of photons, e.g. the cosmic microwave background radiation, then it can be said that…

Attached is an exceedingly schematic diagram, indicating how a Wormhole might possibly be created, between the curved Spacetimes, of the Gravity Wells, of two massive objects (stars, say). From within the Gravity Well of one star, a "Space Warper" would compact matter, to create a Singularity of exceedingly curved Space Time. This new -- and completely man-made -- Gravity Well would "branch off" through Hyperspace, until it encountered the Gravity Well of the second star. Presumably, once the patch of Spacetime surrounding the "Space Warper" came into contact with a patch of Spacetime in the second star's Gravity Well, they could "merge", allowing the "Space Warp…

GRAND UNIFIED THEORY (For some thirty years, Eminent Scientist, Dr. Albert Einstein had tried to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe, namely: gravity, electro-magnetism, Strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. Dr. Stephen Hawking and many other prominent scientists have followed, went further to conceive version, “Theory of Everything”. But, so far, all attempts to unify the four fundamental forces have been unsuccessful.. The treatise below appears strongly, finally, to have the four forces unified into one... Please read particularly the second paragraph of revised article). This article has been posted in physforum, category – physics gen…

Oh the relevence of relativity. If we have an infinite space any portion would be infinitesmal by proportion. We have an infinite space and a proportionate point. If there were no point no space could 'arise' and without space there is no point, so these are simultaneous. The space is everywhere and the point is anywhere, but it does exist as fundamentally relative. Only anywhere and everywhere are possible for no relative portion exists, and this can be seen as two 'places' without a possible variant. So, there is a constant finite because the 'places' are reliant. Thus the assertion of space derives a finite value. Thank you, I hope you '…
