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.

    I agree with Darkpassenger. I think that the whole idea of spacetime being curved and proven to curve during solar eclipses is hokum. It proves that light is bent by gravity and nothing more. It is a convoluted explanation for something that is quite simple. Einstein was the only one that I can think of that could get away with mind experiments. Didn't we get away from that during the Rennaisance? String theory is another example of trying to force something to make sense instead of shutting up and just admitting we just don't know at this time what the heck is going on at that level. I've been looking at these things for over 40 years and the logic goes right out …

    This free gift is for everyone and has two parts; one addresses the physical and the other concerns itself with the metaphysical -- spiritual. . * Physical --> consists of an application of Coulomb’s Law. An application of Coulomb’s Law was the ‘holy grail’ of the early electrical pioneers (Ohm, Volta, Faraday, etc.). In layman’s terms, this could mean free energy. Essentially, it is a high voltage electric field isolation transformer. http://www.i-am-a-i.org/free-energy/index.html * Metaphysical --> is a metaphysical science textbook. The paradigm of this book is only important in that it arrays Truth in a comprehensive manner for the included exe…

    Since the 1980's we have known that the local group of galaxies is being drawn toward the area of the Great Attractor and Shapley Supercluster. I can see only two methods of attraction. (1) Orbital; in which case we should be able to detect many blue shift galaxies on inside or outside orbits. (2) Straight line attraction: in which case we should be able to detect blue shift galaxies on the other side heading into the area of attraction.

  7. The South Atlantic Anomaly is growing, moving, and if it continues on its present course, will cause severe damage to the environment. The SAA currently covers most of South America and extends across the South Atlantic Ocean. This is a weakness in the Earth's Magnetosphere, and is weakening the entire magnetic field of Earth. In some locations there have already been reports of surface damage from solar/cosmic radiation exposure. Jet airliners are first-line vulnerable as they fly high-altitude across this compromised region, and these regional effects are pre-known to be dangerous to all DNA lifeforms. The SAA is also a contributing factor in the accele…

    This is not entirely speculation. Most of this post is based on the current idea's of scientists searching for a conventional explanation of neurological development. Time Does Not Flow The Psychological Arrow of Directionality The classical principle of entropy can be described as being ice cubes in a glass of water. To imagine this picture, you must consider that there was total order present, with the ice cubes and the water separately. However, as time progresses, entropy is increased, as the water dissolves the ice cubes, rather than the ice cubes remaining in their normal states. This shows that an object will slow down if it slides on a corruptive su…

    free will is a construct of our imaginations rather than a truism. that is, in the realm of physical reality. we are all interconnected by one another and our respective environments. and so are compelled to make choices and acts accordingly. however, if given the luxuary of not having such constraints placed upon us, could we still be freely choosing? i look forward to insight regarding this question of mine.

    if the nucleus consists of shells of 50 nucleons each of which consists of subshells of 2*1², 2*2², 2*3², 2*4², and 2*5² nucleons then the magic numbers would be 2,8,18,32,50,52,68,82,100. the observed magic numbers are 2,8,20,28,50,82,126. I make no attempt to explain the discrepencies. I only point out that it comes close to explaining the observed numbers and is very similar to the electron shells/subshells. if we assume that the neutrons that arent part of alpha particles form a shell of their own then the formula for stable nuclei becomes neutrons not part of alpha particles=total neutrons-protons=(P/12.36)² hence the number of these neutrons becomes…

    Hello, all... I have been thinking about the best way to describe the universe for a long time now. This has taken me through many avenues -- from the most philosophical ways of thinking to the most concrete ways. For about a year now, though, I have been explicitly turning my attention to the world of physics. Like all of us around here, I have been trying to come up with my own pet TOE (I'm not talking about a body part!). The problem that I had been having was to decide just how "mathematical" vs. "physical" it would be. But I've just now come to realize that a TOE cannot be a physical theory, because that will just start an "infinite regress". (It's a comp…

It all makes so much sense to me and seems to be a unified theory unlike Relativity/Quantum Mechanics!! So how did we end up with Relativity which leaves my feeble brain like porridge??

  15. The universe is motion or transfer of energy. The expansion can't be into nothing so it is into itself. The dimensions of the universe are in relation to c. If the observer travels at c he takes no time to traverse distance so the universe is relatively very small. By that notion. expansion is relative to our slowing down in relation to c, which is in accordance with entropy. The universe's size is governed by the speed of the observer relative to c, so it isn't really expanding. It's an illusion we observe as we slow due to entropy.

There's really nothing to see, everything is predicted. There are quarkz in atoms, and there are solar system and galaxy. What else you want to know? you can't be as small as an atom or as large as the universe, so there isn't any business and application for you. Agree? Who's with me?

    Zero dimensional means existance with no measurable quantity. A point is merely a representation for the immeasurable. I think zero dimensional points are actual phenomena, here's why: Volume is spontaneously created and we observe universal expansion. Since the distances are increasing, space is created from an immeasurable quantity or zero dimension or 'nothing'. Could distance or volume expand if there were no zero dimension? I really do think there exists a zero dimension with no measurable quantities.

    The following table is a re-arrangement of the table and fractional sequences mentioned in a paper by H Heseilberg (arXiv:cond-mat/0510688 v2 20 Dec 2005). Conducting a search for the fractional structure of particles and atoms reveals that different methods are needed for elementary particles, composite particles, and composites with shells (atoms) but the result (with only two exceptions) are always sequences of Laughlin and Pseudo-scalar fractions; for example: The table of strange mesons can be re-tabulated as follows: The Tables of Electron Binding Energies are to long to reproduce here, but the following illustrates what can be done: The table …

    The Moon & Bermuda Triangle By Suhail Jalbout SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT the Moon is spiraling at present away from the Earth. If that is the case, then the Moon was at a much nearer distance to Earth when the solar system was born 4.6 billion years ago. It is now receding at a rate of 3.8 cm per year, whereas, it was receding, at the time the solar system was born, at the rate of 10 km per year.{1} Let us assume, that the 3.8 cm per year rate had been constant throughout the Earth’s and the Moon’s life time. This would mean that the Moon had recessed, to date, 175,000 km. The Moon’s closest perigee is 356,000 km.{2}So, the minimum distance that ever occurred betw…

    Looking at selection bias, which if I understand such is basically to mean the impact any particular structured observation has when using statistical data, does this correlate to the concept of selection rules in quantum mechanics or chemistry, or science in general that uses statistics in something? In the wiki article a selection rule is defined for in quantum mechanics as something that yields a nonzero probability. Is this actually structured into the formalism of QM somehow as to related to selection bias? I think the latter was worked on or discovered if you want way after QM had been established. It would seem to be then that if selection bias is true, could …

    For the sake of argument, let's say that the universe is a balloon; the surface of the balloon being our universe. Now if the radius of the balloon increases at a constant rate, then the surface area of the balloon will increase at an accelerating rate. Beings on the surface of the balloon would see their universe as having an accelerating expansion. So my question is, could the growth of the universe be constant in some higher dimension that we can't observe? In other words, we can see the balloon as expanding by a linear increase of r, but the 2d beings on the surface of the balloon can't.

    MAYAN AND EGYPTIAN EPOCHS COINCIDE BY SUHAIL JALBOUT Two ancient societies, the Maya and the Egyptians, had the same cyclic epoch of approximately 5125 years. Each epoch is separated from the preceding one by a global world catastrophe. The Maya, who lived in South America around 2000 B.C, had 5 epochs of world history. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th epochs happened in the remote past. Their 5th epoch will end on December 21, 2012. The Maya believed that on this date a global catastrophe would occur. The survivors would enter into the 5th dimension and become more in harmony with the universe. Similarly, the ancient Egyptian priests had a "usual interval" or epoc…
