Speculations

Hello SFN community. Long time no post. I have been debating with a creationist friend about the account in the Bible about Noah. I am trying to explain to him that it is impossible that a single man and his wife, 4,500 years ago could have produced the genetic variety and amount of people on this planet today. Am I correct? Would it be even possible for a single family with 3 children 4,500 years ago to produce the over 20 billion (estimated) people who have lived since that time and also the variety in racial features, cultural customs etc? I know it is most likely improbable, but I want to know is it even genetically possible?

Hello people I know my little essay is a statement but it is a statement of how really huge the universe our home realy is. The unimaginable vastness of the universe Author Alan McDougall The distances in space are unimaginably vast beyond human comprehension. If I try, tell an uninformed nonprofessional that it is so many kilometers to the Sun or moon, will these people be able to comprehend these vast unbelievable distances. The moon and sun are a mere two light seconds and eight light minutes respectively from the earth. Light travels at 300 000 kilometers a second or seven times around the earth in the …

Thinking about new contraptions to use to study say microbes I thought about this. If you have a quantum computer I thought it could possibly be molded to represent say a chunk of an environment. Say you wanted to model how pelagic material might experience reality over a period of time, could you simulate say the thermodynamics of such by modeling it as a computation in a quantum computer? Such as the system could be pushed to recreate the environment on a thermodynamic scale that could match as it would occur naturally. One last way of putting it would be asking if you could program the computer to be exactly like the environment of such scale as relating to a smal…

Hi I post here under speculation so no body will move it here, but feel free to move it elsewhere if you think the idea have some value. I always been interested to the promises of fusion. Cheap clean energy, but the progres are slow and I am not conviced that the ITER project will give what is expected. The preceding developments of the tokamak design hited many wall, because of instability in the plasma at the high temperatures and intense magnetic field needed. So I started looking at alternative desing to produce fusion, wiki gives a good overview of these research. I found the Farnsworth–Hirsch Fusor idea interesting by it simplicity. No big magnet to draw the cur…

So you are accelerating at 32.174 ft/sec^2 when you are standing on the scale? The FORCE is the amount of force required to STOP the acceleration. There is no acceleration at that point while standing on the scale. The acceleration is continuously increasing as you are "free falling" towards the Earth, because you are continuously getting closer to the Earth as you fall, so the acceleration increases. When the acceleration is zero, so is the force, according to Newton's F=ma.

There is a way to photograph time to show its affect, implying it is a potential or something very similar. Let's start with a simple scenario. What we have is a group of cheerleaders standing in static pose. At the front is one cheerleader who is twirling a baton. What we are going to do is take a photo, but with a slow shutter speed. The result will be motion blur, but only at the baton. Using this still photo one will get the impression the baton is in motion, due to the motion blur. The rest of the photo appears stationary. Even in the still photo one can see the affect normally attribute to time but only in the zone where a change of state is occurring. The rea…

Virtual World versus Real World Wo/man worships and fears power; we enthusiastically give our loyalty to our leader. Sapiens are at heart slavish. Therein lay the rub, as Shakespeare might say. Freud was the first to focus upon the phenomenon of a patient’s inclination to transfer the feelings s/he had toward her parents as a child to the physician. The patient distorts the perception of the physician; s/he enlarges the figure up far out of reason and becomes dependent upon him. In this transference of feeling, which the patient had for his parents, to the physician the grown person displays all the characteristics of the child at heart, a child who distorts r…

Howdy. This topic should just always be up for discussion, and I'm more than ready to keep it difficult: Why distinguish gravitation from magnetism? You may wish to contemplate some or all of these helpful concepts/persons while outlining your platform: Occam's Razor; hyperbolic geometry; Viswanath's constant; logic and rules; equinoctial cycles; the explanatory gap and epistemology; David Bohm; Friedrick Nietzsche; spherical close-packing; creativity; the autism spectrum; quantum mechanics; Leonardo da Vinci; phi; linguistics; microbiology; cosmology; Maxwell's equations; and/or that which inspires you. I'm waiting.

I am offering something new to science: the changing of Earth’s velocity has an influence on tide, weather and people’s psychology. It is citing the Kalashnikov gun instance. It is calculated that the bullet during its way out from the stem of gun has the energy of 2020 J, and the gun itself has 5 J. This is known in science. The new ones is inclosing in following: the Law of Pulse(Conservation of Momentum) is acting until the bullet and the gun clash something. When the clashing both of the bullet and the gun with other objects, the center of system changes. This is against the Law of conservation of Momentum. I assure You that this issues were addressed to many PhD of…

Greetings, Try this with a few friends next time you are in a group. Ask one of the groups to put their one arm firmly horizontal with fist lightly clenched. (The one with the arm outstretched, must not know what the group is trying to achieve) The whole group must think beautiful happy peaceful loving glorious thought at the person selected secretly to outstretch their arm in the correct manner. What the arm carefully for a brief moment and then try your uttermost to project hateful evil depraved nasty horrible hurtful ugly thought at your poor victim, look carefully at the outstretched arm. What you will see when beautiful thoughts are projected…

Say you are on the Nortn Pole with a telescope and look straight up and see a galaxy "A" that's 12 billion light years away and somebody on the South Pole looks up and sees a galaxy "B" 12 billion light years away. An entity on galaxy "A" could look past earth to galaxy "B" and say that it is 24 billion light years away. This disproves wmap's version of the cbr theory which states the universe is only 13.7 billion years old. If the cbr is wrong, then the big bang, which uses the cbr as a pillar is wrong. Give the devil his due.

Hello, I’m obviously not a scientist, but has anyone considered that a Kerr ring singularity might basically be a closed string? -I mean it spins in one direction only and is incredibly flat and thin (one dimensional). -Its size is on the order of Planck’s length, like a string. -Its spinning surface is wriggling quantum foam and a string’s surface vibrates. -A closed string vibrates to represent nuclear particles and the higher the frequency the more mass the particle has. Since they are one dimensional, if a google strings were crushed onto each other by gravity, then they would still look like one closed string (or ring singularity). However, the frequency of …

Here I am again, posing such question. I think we spoke about this before, but not for a while, and I'm still unsatisfied with teh asnwers. I think the reason is my own lack of properly explaining the question that's bugging me. So I'm giving it another try. We (humans) are part of nature. We're also quite resourceful, so I don't think we'll go extinct any time soon, unless some catastrophe happens (hence, regardless of my attempt to define what I see as the "problem" that leads to my question, I don't think we'll die off as a species because of that so called "problem") - so don't take this as a 'doomsayers' hypothesis. I'm just wondering here. It see…

A train traveled down tracks that were measured and marked like a ruler. When the train contacted a specific mark on the tracks (starting line), a timer started. The train traveled down the tracks for a duration of time and the timer stopped. The distance the train traveled from the start of the timer to the stop of the timer was 200 meters. The timer indicated a total duration of the event of 10 seconds. The following distances and times were noted: 1 second-20 meter mark 2 seconds-40 meter mark 3 seconds-60 meter mark 4 seconds-80 meter mark 5 seconds-100 meter mark 6 seconds-120 meter mark 7 seconds-140 meter mark 8 seconds-160 meter mark 9 seconds-180 mete…

This is pure speculation and therefore the topic belongs here. However, I have been having strange experiences recently causing me to believe that we are actually in a Matrix-like manufactured reality. My question would be: How on Eart would you lnow the difference between a Matrix-type reality and our reality constructed by our 5 (or six) senses?

have we tried, or would it work to guide a spaceship in the universe using a sound wave? like teleguidance...? if ther's nothing really out there...no sound really definit, like a mathematical code...the spacecraft would be powered by the code it recognizes despite not really knowing, or knowing where its heading to.......how to send an info...? by sound....sound powered technology maybe the idea of the futur...no?

Magnetosynthesis Why rocking chairs and cradles? Is crib death osteoporosis in babies? Evidence indicates, that through an educational process, a prescribed change in our lifestyle, osteoporosis can be eliminated as a plague afflicting mankind. Please take the time necessary to become familiar with the following information. My analysis indicates that your health, and that of others around you, stands to be beneficially affected through your understanding of the newly acquired concepts known as Magnetrition and Magnetosynthesis. These factors have always played a role, yet gone unnoticed until now. Your help in bringing this matter to everyone's attention shou…

The Rocket ship Twin brothers are standing next to each other on Earth. One brother is showing the other brother his new rocket ship. He says "this baby will go from 0 to 93,000 miles per second (.5c) in one second." He explains to the brother that an acceleration rate of 93,000 miles/sec^2 is the rate of change of velocity. If an object's initial velocity is zero, and the object accelerates (thrusts) at the rate of 93,000 mi/sec^2 for one second, one second later the object will have traveled a distance of 46,500 miles, and will be traveling at the velocity of 93,000 mi./sec. The brother says, "cool, can I take a spin?" The other brother says, "no problem." The…

Let's just ASSUME the Earth has the mass of 5,974,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. We are going to compare impact times of two different objects when dropped from an exact height of 16.087 feet. Object A has a mass of 1 kg Object B has a mass of 10 kg Using the formula A=(L-S)/R2 Object A has a "A value" of 371,368,185,491,390,563,809,286.93976503 Object B has a "A value" of 371,368,185,491,390,563,809,286.38030708 A previous test was done with object A. It was determined that object A took exactly 1 second to impact the ground when dropped from a height of 16.087 feet, which is an acceleration of 32.174 ft/sec^2. That means an “A value” of …

This is a simplification of my original ideas presented here: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33375 with proof from first principles. I suggest the following: Gravity, Time & Matter are a result of 3 dimensional superluminal waves of "energy" created by the big bang . The missing mass/energy in the Universe is a consequence of the energy in these Space-Time waves. These waves can be considered Space-Time itself Every particle is a result of a wave partially collapsing, due to a loss of energy. Gravity & thus Mass are a function of the remaining un-collapsed wave's amplitude Time & thus velocity/distance are a function of the …

Here is a speculation on gravity from a QM perspective to have destroyed by members of SFN. Could pointer states come to look like gravity? Lets say you have a ball, and you want to roll it uphill, well obviously some energy has to be exerted. Now if you have I guess an evolution of pointer states going from the system, apparatus, environment angle, could at some point say through some form of that like a conservation law of some kind, say momentum for instance that a wave function experiences a field like effect of some kind? Such as particle y has probability to be somewhere that classically it should not be, could simply a conservation law tie into that as to why …

This is my first time posting on this forum, or any for that matter, so I appologise in advance for any mistakes I may make. Also, as I only have an 8th grade education, I cannot describe my theory by use of equation or the like. My theory is that when a person dies, they become a "ghost." I mean a ghost in both the traditional term and a non-traditional term. Traditional in that the ghost is the remains of a human left on earth. Non-traditional in that it is not a soul and does not exist in a spectral state. As a human grows and lives out life, their mind collects information. When a human dies, their mind cannot support the information any longer. However, information…

Actually, I've developed what I think is a quite well argued hypothesis that, from th observable natural evidence and (non-inflationary) Big Bang theory, gives a wide range of reasons to consider that a cause acts non-locally on the astronomical scale in addition to the forces, and which derives from a non-local hidden variables interpretation of quantum mechanics. My account is not (yet) supported by any measurements, calculation or mathematical formulae I'm afraid, but I have been able to illustrate the action of a nonlocal cause using diagrams. So I assume to start with that the indeterminate Copenhagen type interpretation of quantum mechanics is wrong, wherea…

Hello, My name is Jack Muchabas or maybe Adam Dorado or maybe Richard Parson or maybe and alien from somewhere around 13 light years from this current position. Here is my thoery: According to axionic mathematics, which I invented, there inter-communitive properties in 5 shell tetra-hedronal shells of the atomic structure given all matter is the sub-junctioned in cold-fusion-sub-harmonics, since all matter is, in fact, the collimated frequency of bosomic interferonic pressurized by anti-fermionic lattices given the lattice of shroendingers cat applies to sub-spatial interference and de-pressurized multi-set quarks and thier anti-quarks since all quarks are the rresult…
