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.

  1. If an Alien in a far distant galaxy does not move relative to Bob on Earth, he sees Bob in his present. But when the alien gets on his bike and cycles away from Bob, he sees not Bob but the past of Earth as it was hundreds of years ago. This does not make sense since the present doesn't change into the past.

  2. Diagram I have developed a simple diagram about an envision of future travel technologies, although these are fiction for now. The purpose of this thread and diagram is for fun viewing and discussion about now to future travel technologies. See attached image to this post. Impulse Engine: Interplanetary travel in Star Trek films and television shows. Speed up to before Warp level. I imagine experience would be like driving ordinary vehicles. Warp Drive: Faster than light travel. I imagine it to be best for fun rush experience, imo. FTL Jump: Faster than light travel or jump from a to b. Woah, I imagine it to be fast but potential boring and disori…

  3. For example the idea that a field is numbers assigned to space points. How these numbers are written into space points is left up to magic. What some don't realize is that there must be a field for each property of a particle. How these fields are unified into the field of a particle is left up to magic. Since a particle has many properties just one number at a space point won't specify the particle completely. In addition if a space point can only accommodate one number then a particle cannot be specified to be located at a point and how is the space distribution of the particle then going to be defined. There needs to be a grouping together of space points fun…

    The WOW message reads: "6EQUJ5". We can take EQU to mean "=". Then "J" can be taken as the symbol for "successor of" (aliens would have a different symbol than ours). Then the message reads: "6 = S5", so it makes sense!

  6. The Aether is a medium of heat, not conventional EMR heat, but heat like that at the center of the Earth, heat I call nucleus heat. The heat originates at the nucleus and puts a density/ temperature on the Aether. Perhaps the background temperature of the universe is from a nucleus to the universe and all atom's and universe's are the same. The squeezing force of the nucleus inner heat creates a field of density on the Aether and makes its gravity field. When two gravity fields touch the density in the Aether at the point where the fields touch pulls the two object's together. Energy like matter is also made of the background Aether heat medium. Energy is just heat o…

  7. I have an exciting new experiment to test for the Aether wind. It is similar to the famous Michelson and Morley experiment. The experiment utilizes a Femto camera. A Femto camera takes a trillion frames per second and is capable of capturing light in slow motion as it leaves its source. The link below is a video of just that. By pausing the video where light has expanded into s sphere, one can then measure for the Aether 'moving past' just as they did in the M&M experiment. If the Aether is in fact the medium for light one would expect to be able to measure for the slight difference in speed along different directions in a paused image of the Femto camera. When …

  8. I just had this thought quite some time ago. I made a drawing that deliberately looks like it could be an "popular science" illustration from 17th century. If someone makes a cannon, that can shoot repeatedly cannonballs into space and the cannonballs can be connected with a chain (or not), Would it be possible someone to walk slowly along the chain into space - that way that the walker steals some of the linear momentum of the cannonballs - and end up into orbiting earth? I named this hypothetical setup as " Free fall chain ". In the place where the cannonballs fall back to earths surface, there could be some kind of device that can gather the kinetic…

    Is it possible we are living in a pressurized system where what we see as matter is actually space and what we see as space is actually matter? We accept that matter can pull on matter even if we don't know how it works and it appears impossible. It’s action a distance. We see it all the time - in magnets, gravity, and the way common objects are held together (atoms do not touch). It's easy to accept what we see as fact. But how can matter affect matter from a distance? Can you imagine a way? I can’t. However, if we are in a pressurized system, matter can push matter over a distance to cause and create everything we have in the universe without the unimaginabl…

    The STEM approach has been extended and re-tweaked to eliminate some mis-statements (but there are probably many still lurking). A summary of the STEM approach is: STEM proposes a tentative model for the structure of up and down quarks in terms of concentrated energy tori (referred to as CESs or preons), which may or may not need to be modified or replaced further down the track. However, in its current form, this quark structure has led to a structured atomic nucleus that is reflected by the characteristics of element types, and to new consistent explanations for a wide range of topics such as atomic bonding, electromagnetic fields, electricity, light and even Gravi…

  14. SEPERATING SPACE FROM GRAVITY TO TRAVEL FASTER THEN LIGHT AND TRAVEL IN TIME!!! I hypothesize that space is a set size and is not expanding. The notion that it is expanding is a misunderstanding of the effect of gravity on space, time, and light. When we speak about gravity and the bending of light on the plain it is said to curve with the gravitational waves. When we are measuring photons in our calculation of the size of the universe, we leave this part out but it is a fundamental issue in determining distance that is not easily calculated. In the drawing above you can that time, light, and objects or matter move relative to each ot…

  15. Hubbe_derivation2.pdfHubbe_derivation2.pdf You can read it here too : https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=91689 Hi ! A few years ago I developed a theory that explained the accelerated receding of galaxies and its rapid movement of rotation of them without the need to postulate the existence of "Dark Energy" and "Dark Matter" respectively. ( The theory link: https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=91689 ) I thought my idea was a good one as I used fewer hypotheses than these two "dark" entities. However, I knew that it could be one of dozens (or hundreds) of theories that try to explain these "…

  16. So, if we take the set of square roots of prime numbers, each number in that set can match the set of "Natural" numbers by extending the decimal points. As the "Natural" numbers get large a further decimal 0-9 matches each n, n+1, ...; 1:1. The ordinality of i' is the same as the ordinality of "infinity", and there is a degree of aleph=2 to the subset i' before it reaches anything including all the "Reals". So, between the sets "infinity", i', various Real sets, and the Natural set, there are at least two degrees, hence the aleph=2, hence Cantor's conjecture is towards the negative. Does that make sense? P.s. yada, yada, cardinality.

    Whether Time is linear or cyclical or something else, is the speed of time constant? What basis do we have to extrapolate time back to t=0 (or very close to 0) and assume it's speed is the same as it today? I read descriptions of the early universe describing things like "A few millionths of a second (after the big bang), quarks aggregated to produce protons and neutrons" https://home.cern/science/physics/early-universe How would an observer in the early universe measure time when there are only quarks, protons and neutrons? Is it possible the speed of time is variable? Could 1 millionth of a second in the early universe be equivalent to a few mi…

    This model was created by emphasizing that the universe is filled with Ether (Ether) as Nikola Tesla said. If we can step outside of the universe and look, we can see that the vibrations in the video below are in an order as they have created. If you want to solve the secrets of the universe, as Nikola Tesla said, think of energy as frequency and vibration. Also, it says that if you knew the grandeur of the numbers 3, 6 and 9, you would solve the mystery of the universe, and we know in the Qur'an that the universe was created in 6 periods. 369, 396, 639, 693, 936, 963 .....

    All the most known theories of gravity are built on the principle of long-range action. When approximately "point" body or mass density (also electromagnetic energy) distributed in space creates gravitational potential. This article attempts to substantiate gravitational phenomena on the principle of proximity (locality). The cause of interactions is some spatial state of fundamental fields, the consequence is change of these fields over time (first derivative in time at local point of continuum). Presumably, following fundamental gravitational fields exist: (SI units in parentheses are m-metre, s-second, k-kilogram, A-Ampere) scalar potential g (m2/s2) vector …

    If gravitational waves are considered as a repulsive force emanating from a collision of heavy objects and dark energy is similarly considered as a repulsive force, is there a link between those two phenomena as viewed from this common repulsive behavior? If dark energy is the leftovers of the annialations (collisions) of the vitrual particles of space, giving the small forces that are everywhere, inflating the cosmos in a smooth, continuous fashion, thus leaving dark energy as an aggregate of these smallest possible gravity waves, with ultra heavy objects detected by LIGO as tending toward the largest?

  23. Abstract Introduce a geometric model in which there is a maximum speed, which may help us understand why the speed of light c is the maximum speed in the universe, why parameter c is a constant and the geometric mechanism that causes time dilation and length contraction. Finally, this paper will introduce a new coordinate transformation and general velocity addition formula based on this model. The new coordinate transformation and general velocity addition formula not only correspond to time dilation/length contraction effect, but also correspond to the Sagnac effect. Keywords: Lorentz transformation, special relativity, one way speed of light, Sagnac effect …
