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.

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 …

Time Energy Theory Philosophical logic has been used as a substitute to mathematical logic World is composed of dark matter or ( the ether ) , The ether is material has rubbery and flexible entity. Whirlpools is composed of dark and hyper compressed matter and this compressing causes a strong whirl pooling This whirlpools is composed of three whirlpools in the three axis ( x , y , z ) These whirlpools causes a strong condensation of (the ether ) in a small space The dark matter moves to inside whirlpools in a waveform The rotation of whirlpools forms the mass of elementary particles (The fermions) Whirlpools causes tightening in dark …

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.

If you think about the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics along with the idea that some propose that quantum mechanics shapes evolution on a molecular scale could mutations get selected across many worlds? Could possible evidence of such points towards a quantum biosphere? Such as that if MWI is true that some worlds select for mutations over other worlds? Such as some mutations might be beneficial in a variety of worlds and get selected, while others might by only beneficial in some and still get selected? Maybe this is convergent evolution, some mass paramutaiton of the galactic superposition curvature> It might make for some good sci-fi tho…

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…

Hi, It is time again for my yearly update. These cosmological speculations were largely 'induced' from the philosophical paradigm/syllogism: "We and the Universe around Us are involved in an ongoing, staged process of self-engenderment or self-creation; wherein and whereby the Creator of Us and the Universe around Us is attempting to engender or create itself." see http://www.self-engenderment.com My variant of the BB/BC model presumes that the BB event/body displayed a high degree of 'angular momentum'. When this conserved AM began to be co-opted by emerging sub-atomic structures, the BB event/body partially collapsed, and as a consequence ejected 2 large …

Water is critically important to life. Very few, if any, biological systems or reactions will function without water. There is no substitute for water in life as we know it. Logic would suggest that the evolution of life was also dependant upon the unique properties of water. Is the affect of water taken into consideration within evolutionary theories or is this variable left out even though nothing will work without its unique properties? The answer is this critical variable is left out of the analysis even though it was no doubt critical to every step in evolution. That being said, what is unique about water, is its properties are defined by hydrogen bonding. The o…

E = mc2 = m(c/cos0)2 By Suhail Jalbout Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light; the Theory of Relativity tells us. I think that it is possible for a single pulse of light energy, transmitted at random, to do just that if projected on an incline. The speed of each projected pulse will travel faster than the speed of light. I am not certain whether my analysis is purely a mathematical exercise or whether it has important theoretical and practical implications. I leave this in the hands of the experts. Here are the equations that support my hypothesis. A. SPEED Let c = the speed of the light energy pulse from the source (the speed of light) V = t…

From the perspective of a photon traveling here from the big bang the world as it is now would appear to have been instantly created. For me this implies the idea of predestination. That is, everything that has happened and will happen was determined in the big bang itself. Hope you can follow my logic. It also implies that there is a unseen dimension which is timeless and in which all matter is in immediate contact with all other matter.

Hallo! Sorry if I bother you with trivialities or a topic which may have been discussed before, long ago, but after seeing websites like this: http://www.reformation.org I could not help wondering how can some people get so provocative... So my question is: Foucault's pendulum is considered a crucial proof that the Earth rotates. Nevertheless: 1) It can't possibly be the ONLY such (direct) proof! (Lutheran fundamentalists seem to mock about the fact that even NASA "fails" to provide "more recent" direct evidence.) How many other proofs are known? I can very briefly recall Coriolis effect on hurricanes and winds, as well as the motion of ballistic missi…

The Earth and Sun are pushed together by space. Space is filled with the primary subparticles called dot waves. As the Earth and Sun expand over time, this pushes against space and space pushes back. The net result is a force between Earth and Sun.

Hi, everyone. I'm new here, and a high school student, so try to please salve the insatiable voracity for ripping apart threads with scrutiny for the heresy "Intelligent Design" articles one may stumble upon; I'm admittedly a tyro. I want to broach Metaphysics, because the field is one that I hold as an experiential sentiment. I "claim" (trying to keep the crude skepticism at bay) to shoulder both voluntary and involuntary relationships with that of clairsentience, claircognizance, past life regression, aural capacities, healing capacities, blah blah blah blah blah blah... Essentially, I was contemplating the absolute existence of dimensions: Are th…

To keep things simple lets ignor the matter in the universe for the moment. The universe comes from nowhere, there must be an explanation as to why nowhere becomes somewhere and this leads people to think of highly speculative theories.

Hi Everyone, http://www.gpofr.com This is a link to my theoretical physics paper (ebook) I've been working on for sometime. Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to pass it along to friends who might find it interesting. Its still very much a work in progress and my first attempt at writing an ebook. What is contains I believe it to be very significant. Just to point this out, my new relativistic mass equation presented in the book equates the relativistic mass of Jupiter to the value of an electron charge which is 1.6x10^-19 C (exactly). It was something I did not expect to find but the new equation was the one that gave me insight into this relationship whi…

Could “time” possibly be defined basically by the geometry of any particular system? Say you take the universe at any particular time, such as if you take a snapshot of a system, then not observe that system, then take another snapshot at a different time could being discrete like that still allow for say finding what governs the system? Such a simple example I think of course would just be on earth with someone dropping something. Yet as I would like to phrase my question, which is difficult for me, is can you apply such to the universe? It would seem if that laws of nature did not change in time that such should be able to explain the big bang, not saying anything …

Hello all, Wow, it's more than half a year since the last time I'm here. After a series of debates about energy theories, I seclude myself and determine to find out what was going on. I've found the answer, but that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to touch your belief system, vibrate it alittle bit and hopefully something will crack. I just want to introduce the brief history of what happened back then. It was the time of Leibniz and Newton/Descartes and their view of Force. Newton/Descartes were the creator of the formula "mv" where m=mass, v=velocity. It is now known as momentum. Leibniz was the creator of the formula "mv^2", which later modify by Corio…

I fail to see an experiment clarifying the properties of antimatter gravity and so far I've only heard of 2 speculations: i) Antimatter gravity is the same as matter gravity, as gravity is a property of mass, ii) Antimatter and matter repel each other, but antimatter pulls itself together in the same way as matter does. I'm thinking of something else: Matter gravity --> A "force" that pulls "everything" Antimatter gravity --> A "force" that repels "everything" In the beggining of the universe, a gravitational effect like this, would make the concetration of matter higher at the center of the universe "globe", while antimatter would mainly concetrate far fro…

I just had this random thought... Since electric field can be blocked by a metal sphere in electrostatic equilibrium (when there is a charge outside the sphere and the sphere reaches equilibrium, it becomes an object of equal potential, so electric field lines can't penetrate the sphere), is it possible to block gravitational field?

Does anybody know anything about these? http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11dec_themis.htm Apparently "Magnetic Ropes" are said to connect the Sun to the Earth. I am unsure if this is similar to what happened with the Nasa Polar program. They reported 43,000 ice/methane comets pummeling the earth daily back in the late nineties but it turned out to be static noise. Are these magnetic ropes for real? Or imagined?

Today in science class we were examining vials of different elements and compounds. My friend, being the joker he is, took the vial labeled hydrogen gas and opened it. It wasn't that big, and my face was a few feet away from the vial, but I'm just wondering if I'm going to suddenly explode without warning. I haven't even written my will yet! Thanks for the help.

Is there any weight to the claim made by these web sites: http://www.water4gas.com and http://www.savefuel.ca ? They send HHO into a vacuum line of a gasoline engine and presumably you save fuel...Someone told me there was a recent Popular Science article that debunked these claims. I am really tempted to get a kit from the first site and try it. Also I heard a similar process was implemented on WWII P51 mustangs to super charge them and it worked okay - when it did work; otherwise they blew up..... any insights are appreciated.
