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.

Origin of mass is most important problem in modern physics.Discovery of Higgs my be solving this question. Simple interpretation of Higgs mechanism is 2+2=3+1.(L.B. Okun, Leptons and Quarks, NorthHolland, Amsterdam, 1982,. Section 20.4) This interpretation very close to metasymmetry idea.But metasymmetry more comprehensive, because illustrates: 1) 3 of 4 fundamental interactions (strong, electromagnetic, weak) are relatively closed by their intensity magnitude but are greatly different from gravitational Again the …

    Ok, so before god there was 0 dimensions, dark matter. Then, just like radioactive isotopes, then decided to split up like to hot climate and dark climate. Thus, big bang happened. Because, the antimatter changed into two different types of matter but some chilled out and stayed at dark matter. They created all 12 dimensions, the 1st 2nd and 3rd of inorganic matter, and 1st 2nd and 3rd dimension of organic matter. from there, the kept evolving and de-evolving to adapt to their environment. But, time is only an measurement. The 1st thru 3 dimension is only, like a piece of paper, inorganic. The 4th thru 6th dimension would be like a 1st dimension of time, unable to move, b…

    Professor Brian Cox of CERN and TV fame has expressed his concern that a fundamental flaw in our understanding of gravity seems increasingly likely, especially if the forthcoming LHC experimental results turn out to be unexpected. I am convinced that I have found the stumbling block of modern physics: The OBVIOUS reason of how the moon causes the ocean tides is that it pulls on the Earth's inner core, creating a flexure of the lithosphere, rather than acting on the seawater directly itself. Once you have the simple picture in your mind, you'll never go back. You'll never look at the sea the same again. Modern satellite technology has measured the seafloor to rise …

  5. What kind of impact does a subatomic particle have on the laws of physics? Does the particle compel the properties of law, or does the law compel the properties of the particle? Or is that a chicken and the egg? I’m bored, and playing with my psychokinesis thing again, and was wondering about the idea of an elementary particle brokering such a concept. Is it plausible that one subatomic particle (that is, if we could get god to inject it in all the atoms of the universe for us) could possess the properties to provide the mechanism for forces we might exploit in the form of psychokinesis? Remember, this is for fun, so please don’t beat me up because I’m a dumb…

    I am putting forward the idea of The fifth dimension. I see it as the change an object exhibits and importantly the planes they move into when forces internal or external (or no force at all) are applied. Some examples 1) Evolution causes an object to move in the fifth dimension 2) The forces acting on a planet cause it to move in the fifth dimension 3) Getting hooked on crack causes one to move in the fifth dimension These objects exhibit characteristics relative to their place in the fifth dimension. Taking the last example the crack addict could wind up as a hopeless bum if he hadn't taken crack in the first place he could've been wealthy which is why I …

    Michelson Morley ran an experiment using an interferometer to look for the aether relative to the earth's sun. He found a displacement which was proportional to the square of the velocity... If the aether was relative to the sun. Effectively this experiment found a displacement pattern which is visible within the light spectrum but relative to the sun. Correct? What did he find which was thrown away as experimental error? Any help would be much appreciated as I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson-Morley_experiment

Martin if the Universe is expanding then could this not be simply an illusion ? for example and this is my biggest argument against BB is that when thinking three dimensionaly why would not all expansion from say 100 different galaxies around our galaxy , come to a conclusion that there is null expansion ? because all perspectives from different galaxies would see expansion toward us

    I was thinking about two different things: 1) From what we can see of our Galaxy, there isn't enough "visible" matter to account for the Galaxy having enough gravity to not tear itself apart. 2) If aliens are out there somewhere, why haven't we seen them? Well... what about Dyson Spheres? Suppose an advanced civilisation (or more than one) made itself a Dyson Sphere among some stars at the edge of the Galaxy, where the gravity isn't as intense as being near the core... so that the Sphere was more structurally stable. That would account for both the undetected matter holding the Galaxy together and be an explanation for why we've not detected any eviden…

  10. Each newborn's life, like the flower of Spring, is full of freshness and imagination. We can't resist asking: for whom the flowers of life are blossoming? Different from other types of lives, human being has the conscience of seeking fairness. Where is the origin of conscience? Sometimes we feel the unknown loneliness, and sometimes we are shrouded with the fear of exploring the unknowns. What is the origin of loneliness and fear? Very lucky, these questions have simple answer, so simple that everyone can personally prove the answer with a simple piece of computer software which disassembles galaxy patterns! Only when we find the answers to these questions, will huma…

    According to contemporary ideas the spin of elementary particle is a certain mysterious inner moment of impulse for which it is impossible a somewhat real physical picture to create. The absence of spin visual picture, in opinion of a number of authors leaves the regrettable gap in quantum mechanics interpretation. On the other hand, there are highly developed geometrical disciplines which are difficult to apply to specific physical theories owing to the fact that it is not always possible to point out the objects to which the geometrical notions could be corresponded.We point out to one interesting analogy which, in our view testifies to the geometrical interpretation o…

  14. As is well known all matter is made of 12 particles: 6 quarks and 6 leptons. I would like to show that some numbers in the spectrum of mass of elementary particles one way or another connected with enigmatic number N=12. Consider natural logarithms mass of quarks and exploring them: Mu=1.5- 3 Mev; Md=3-7 Mev; lnMu=0.4-1.09; lnMd=1.09-1.94 Ms=70-120 Mev; Mc=1160-1390 Mev; lnMs=4.24-4.78; lnMc=7.05-7.23 Mb=4130-4270 Mev; Mt=170900- 177500Mev; lnMb=8.32-8.35; lnMt=12.04-12.08 As we see, natural logarithms values of mass next (express in round numbers): 1;2;4;5;7;8;12. Draw attention to absent numbers divisible to 3(3,6,9) except last number N=12 .…

They got some results that they allegedly couldn't explain...of course they didn't go to any experts in the technology looking for answers, just said they couldn't explain it. Now normally I have no trouble debunking the various photographic effects that allegedly prove the existence of ghosts, goblins, and aliens because I spent several years in the photographic industry and am pretty well-versed in what happens with cheap optics, airborne dust, and people too dim to understand basic lighting tec…

  16. Why do men care more about sports and career then women? Sure women care too, but for many men it seems they can't live without it. Why do so many men watch and compete in sporting games every day? Why do they pursue earning money long after they have satified every basic need? The reason lies in the requirements made by our ancient environment. We lived in small groups on the African savannah. Where women made a living from gathering fruits and vegetables. And where men brought in the meat through hunting. All though the lines wouldn't be all black and white, that was the general division. Hunting is a team effort. Whether you drive small animals to your fellow h…

    I was watching an episode of Nova on global dimming. The process in which particle pollutants are put into the air and block out the sun so light can't hit the ground. One result of this is water evaporates at a slower rate. This is where my thoughts come in. What if global warming is a result of global dimming. Because water is evaporating less this causes means less cooling of the air near the surface of the earth. The heat energy from the sun is still being absorbed by the earth just in the atmosphere from particle pollutants rather than the surface where water can evaporate to cool the earth. This is of course just an idea of mine. I don't have much knowledge …

One of them went back into the 19th Century and stole Darwin right from his ship, and brought him into the year 2350 or, something.

  19. Why do women find it important to be in on the latest fashion trends? It couldn't be just to look nice for the opposite sex, because most men hardly notice it. I believe the reason lies in our evolutionary background. We evolved as hunter-gatherers. Hunting requires plenty of skill, obviously. Compared to hunting, gathering seems a pretty simple task. What I want to show is that the occupation of gathering wild fruits and vegetables is far from simple. It is a highly information intensive occupation. A tree full of fruits is a temporary store of valuables you encounter by chance. The female that finds it comes home with enough fruits for her family, and one import…

They're all made up of atoms, and all atoms are chaos. Wth, how did they form circles geometry. Yeah, so why doesn't one spend more time on finding out that answer instead of holding on to the concept that chaos can't create order?

This is an intriguing thought from a 'proper' scientist, not a nutcase, who thought that the age of bipedal motility could be pushed back to around 21 million years ago rather than the conventional 6 million years consensus.

    Basic fallacy in anthropic principle. How can it say life could never evolve in anything else but here? That question has no answer in this universe yet let alone a multiverse. Yes, life physically evolves, so to assume it did this via how our universe is I do not think even needs to evoke such a principal, otherwise I think to suggest that would require life to exist outside the physical universe, such as its laws, like a human being able to fall a 1000 feet with no injury. I would also think that such a statement means that the multiverse to infinity or whatever needs to be correct for our universe to exist, and toilets. Then again life goes extinct, so the universe…
