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.

    So, I was watching "Cosmic Holes" last night, and while discussing the nature of time and gravity, they talked about how clocks on earth run slower than clocks higher in the atmosphere - explaining how a gravitational field effects time. One scientist referred to the occupants in a rocket blasting through the atmosphere into space as "going into the future, faster" than those of us on the ground. So, my question is, if this was more exaggerated, to the point we could actually notice with the unaided eye...wouldn't they appear to be moving at a faster rate? Would those of us on the ground perceive them as moving even faster? Or slower? Or nothing at all? …

    I was wondering do we have a space based early warning system for tracking asteroids. I know that they have radio telescopes equipped with high powered digital cameras which scan the skies for danger, but how do they compensate for atmosphere distortion with these cameras. I’m currently working on my latest idea, a deep space radio telescope. There are a few uses for this deep space radio telescope. To Track objects entering our solar system, to determine if they’re a threat. To peer deeper into the cosmos, monitor background radiation. To relay communication with any deep space vessels, thus preventing signal degradation. You could position up to ten of the…

    Nothing by itself is nothing. Nothing at one moment and nothing at the next moment in time are still nothing but now nothing is relative to something existing elsewhere. When there is time there is space, and where there is a next moment in time there is next space. This would mean every point in the universe is the same point , they act independantly because every frame of reference that we consider a point is HERE/NOW relative to that point. (i.e. the only fundamental point is nothingness) So is it possible that time makes space, that space makes energy, that energy makes matter and matter makes you and me? Every point is HERE/NOW, there is no pa…

    I joined this forum just to post my theorem (or is it theorum) Anywho, the Axiom is gravity makes things all "sticky". Some say it's clear evidence this planet sucks, in reality all planets do and their moons as well. If the moon has a gravitational pull, and the earth does. And any other astrological body that its capable of detecting gravity on also does. One must assume, everything has a gravitational pull of some sort. Which I believe negates any possibility of "Graviton's" It's is a logical postulate to assume that gravity is directly related to mass (not to be confused with weight). (m = W/g) Sew.....one might deduce a theoretical (not to mention tot…

    The big bang is only the beginning of our one and only percieved universe. While this may be true I began to think deeper into this region of science known as astrology, and came out with a theoretical understanding. What if the vastly small atom that blew up creating our universe was one of millions? I believe in infinancy to the fullest extent in that there may not have only been just one atom that blew up creating the many galaxies, stars, and solar systems we know of today... I believe that there were many atoms that blew up creating their own little universes, and there still are these little atoms blowing up creating their own universes. And as our universe may be v…

    This post is an explanation of my understanding to how Einstein's relativity theory works in conjunction with time. Allow us for a minute to reflect upon Einstein's theory of relativity. E=mc². Einstein's theory states that energy equals the product of mass times the speed of light squared. From this very equation Einstein was able to theorize that time is irrelevant.. Irrelevant to everything that exists in it. Allow me to shed some light here. To my understanding (this is simply just my thought process in the matter, hopefully posting this will get me some feedback) since light remains at a constant speed we can conclude that it is essentially a constant figure …

    Why do all the speculations concerning the possibility of 'time travel' presume a non-dynamic staring point, when there is no such thing? Any point on Terra is moving. It is rotating in relation to the planet's axis. It is orbiting our sun. Our sun is orbiting the center of the Milky Way, the Milky Way is moving closer to Andromena, and our glactic cluster as a whole is moving toward a point behind the Virgo Cluster. The total sum of these velocities might be something like 1/35 C. Wouldn't it stand to reason that if you were to travel 35 seconds into the past, you would reappear into empty space approx. 186,000 miles ahead of where you were, and if you stayed…

  10. Hello, I would like to introduce a new vision on space and time. My suggestion is that we are "now" on the edge of the universe and that the velocity of light is actually the speed of time. The best way to tell my idea is to watch this animation I made on youtube. I think that behind the edge of the universe there will be tomorrow. I would suggest that the speed of light is the absolute minimum of time and space. Light is just like a trail while we travel into the 4th dimension. Well, let's see what you think about this?

    Photons do not exist Litterature gives a single "proof" of their existence:the foto-electric effect. If this effect existed really , it would not prove the existence of photons. But the so called photoelectric effect is a thermal effect dependeing only on temperature. The "foto-electric effect"occurs also in complete darkness. See Nobel prize winner Richardson. who left a formula ( from about 1900 ) for the ionic emission Morp

  15. I didn't want to post this in the molecular biology forum or the atomic physics forum as I suspect it's probably a bit too Ps&S. Standard molecules such as H2O and NaCl take their energy to do stuff from heat and electrical charge, right? Could there be something overlooked that changes a long poly-protein molecule from something inert and non responsive into a molecule that has sufficient extra energy to combine amino acids into copies of itself? (The Ps&S bit.) What's the possibility that the structure of these atomic chains generates a specific form of energy required to do this arrangement of amino acids and such? Something that hasn't been cons…

    UNIVERSAL MAGNETIC FIELD (UMF) There exist a Universal Magnetic Field (UMF) that links all matter & events within the Universe. And the Human Mind as well has a remote link to this UMF. This UMF is sensitive to: Space, Time, Direction, Matter, Energy, Light, Good, Evil, Truth, Falsehood, Negativity, Positivism, etc. The link between the Mind and the UMF is what I term as the Universal Mind. The UMF is an Extraordinary Vector Quantity; it is everywhere (Universal) but its field strength depends on its alignment (co-ordination) with the body concerned. Since there is no scientific instrument presently for detecting this field (UMF) how can we locate and utilize it to …

  18. This thread takes us back to the drawing board on QWC. The "Casual Question" thread introduced Quantum Wave Cosmology and explained that it had evolved over a few years in various forums. The purpose of the "Casual Question" thread was to see if it was appropriate to present the ideas of QWC on this forum. It turned out that this was the right place, but that thread got into advanced ideas without building up to them. The community generally didn't get engaged into a discussion of the ideas until I mentioned photon mass and that cause members to explain current theory and make reference to gauge theory, particle theory, etc. from the stand point that photon mass went …

  19. The origin of gravitation zheng sheng ming Abstract In the natural world, people have discovered four kinds of forces: the electromagnetic force, the gravitation, the weak force, and the strong force.Although the gravitation has been discovered more than three hundred years, its mechanism of origin is unclear until today. While investigating the origin of gravitation, I discovered that the moving photons produce gravitation. This discovery reveals the origin of gravitation. Meanwhile my discovery indicated that light interference fringes are produced by the gravitation which is created by moving photons. In other words,…

    We speculate that observation causes the collapse of the wavefunction, but there are two primarys, wave function and observer, and one effect, collapse. One might say there are three functional elements, wave, observation and collapse, but actually only the collapse itself lends any apparancy at all. Observation causes collapse? Collapse is observation? Collapse validates both wave function and observation? I think it is hard to discern the causal principle in this relationship.

    Fripro presented a startling vision of the universe. Unfortunately it was in a thread about something else---a simple straightforward question about how they measure curvature. So this is a more appropriate place. Fripro received a lot of thoughtful comment on his ideas, but I can't move all the posts down here. Edtharan said something about a huge turtle. So we missed those comments but further discussion can continue here. Fripro has a website link with several other cosmology ideas http://www.fripro.com/Thomas%20Edward%20fairbairn.html The above is a stereo picture of some galaxies---rotation planes tilted various ways.

    What Electricity Is Really Made Of Theories of Ed Leedskalnin, inventor of coral castle in Florida. Backed up by experiments. You can buy his books and research his experiments yourself. They are real elementary physics experiments. I'll summarize what he found out by experimenting with magnets. Just like physics considers an electron or proton to be the smallest unit of electric charge, there is a smallest unit of magnetism which he calls north and south pole individual magnets. They are free to flow in metals, in the air and in other things. The iron shavings around a bar magnet trace their path. From the North end of a magnet, there are many north pole m…
