Speculations

Ok everyone hello.. I want to apologize in advance for the length of this post and put out the general disclaimer that I have no college behind me whatsoever and am nothing more than an avid fan of theoretical physics.. I read everything I can find on it and then they start throwing all those ginormous equations and what not in there and I get that deer caught in the headlights thing.. oh and Im not here tryin to sell a book or anything.. I just have a thought I’d like to share and see if anyone can at the very least understand whats going on in my head whether or not they think the idea has any merit.. that being said.. Theory of why the expansion of the unive…

I was having a discussion with someone about religion; I'm not particularly religious, that is to say I do not subscribe to any specific mythos, but I don't completely discount those ideas either. I like to defend the religious side because it is usually the tougher position to defend. Anyway, the age old paradox about an omnipotent god creating an object so big that he himself can not lift it came up and I think I answered it, but I want to make sure my reasoning is sound. I said that yes an omnipotent being could create an object so big that he could not lift it, and still be omnipotent. My reasoning was that once an object reaches a certain mass, it can no longer …

I hope the mods don't mind, but I split this from another thread, where religion was being discussed, and as this topic has nothing to do with religion, I thought it would be ok to continue. I've just posted an assignment, and currently enjoying a beer, so I'll address the points ajb raised later. However if anyone else would like to comment, especially somebody more grounded in philosophy than I am, it would be very interesting to hear some viewpoints. Here's the discussion so far... How come ? I've noticed similar comments about philosophy on here, where people seem to think that it's somehow a separate entity from science, when really it's an intrins…

Dear friends, I come to you with great respect and the respect for our science legacy where countless work made up what we are today. I would like to propose to you a new view of gravity. A view that perhalf can bring us together. When one convert potential energy to kinetic energy, he or she use the formula mgh=1/2 m v^2 . Strickly speaking, mgh = Fd = Fh , where F=ma . If we do not use this method but rather use integration, one would write Work is mgh = [math]\int Fdh[/math] . One will find the same answer mgh because the integral of dh is h, and the force is constant. Now one will do the actual experimentation to verify this fact. He or she will find …

You're all ways off from the orignal, and way way off from what He told me. Planets are form from neutron stars. It split itself into the sun and the planet forming the simplest hydrogen solar system. These system could interact with other larger systems forming a bigger larger system. All planets repel each other, only attract to the sun.

Momentum is not Energy. They're totally two different quantity. Momentum is conserve, so does energy. There are one problem that we have overlook all these time... What are the form of energy? Work, heat, electricity. Heat... however is not a form of energy, or I may say, not the correct description of its form. Work and electricity are almost 100% efficiency transformation back and forth... heat is not complete because it generate entropy. In this sense, modern science isn't wrong all these time. A perpetual machine cannot ever be made. However... it is possible. We have overlook another form of energy. It's a brother of heat.... a forgotten one that everyone…

If you look at basic observation, it appears to indicate that the DNA, although the template molecule of life, plays a support role. It is given the lead role based on an unproven assumption. That assumption is life began with some version of genetic replicators. This has never been proven but we treat it as true without any requirement of proof. We need to look at what we can prove. Cells, like red blood cells can continue to be alive without DNA. But DNA is useless without a cell body, except in the above hypothetical scenario. Based on that the hierarchy is cell body then DNA. We could take a cell, remove the DNA, spread out all the cell material, add the DNA back…

"When you think of something, it exist and becomes possible." Welcome, join me to find cases to make this flaw. I've think of the earth blow up, or even bizzard as human grows wings and fly. It's still can't dismiss this philosophy. What's yours?

The scientific method uses logic, deductive logic or the hypothetico-deductive method involving hypothesis, experiment, falsification, and then the formulation of a new hypothesis. However, IMHO, there are cases where logic cannot work and a sensible hypothesis cannot be made, leaving only speculation. For example, the map made by a Turkish Fleet Admira, lPiri Reis, seems to include a perfect map of the Northern coast of Antarctica showing the coastline UNDER ICE. A quote from the article indicates the problem: [urlhttp://http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_1.htm[/url] There are a number of other mysteries on this site. Are there cases where p…

okay, i was thinking of this today and we are essentially just elements in a living form. if we were taken apart atom by atom, all it would be is a pile of water and various other elements. Now i was thinking of this, and does that mean we are simply an evolution of elements?? think of it, all we are is a living form. under certain conditions is an evolution of elements to create life and expand it, and try and make it as advanced as possible to extend itself and expand.a is our elemental make-up each of those elements trying to manifest itself for a reason i don't understand. because think about it, life was created from nothing.. from heat, water electricity w…

If in Tom eye the grass is blue and Mary eye see it red. You as the parents see it green. So you teach Tom and Mary the world green when see grass. You say "green". Tom hear "Occccck", Mary hear "Baang". So each time Tom see blue color, he says "occcck", and marry see a red color, she says "Baang". You yourself just know that they pointed at the green color and say "green". Deceptions.... all deceptions!

Okay there are a couple parts to my theory. first im not talking about a time travel machine, I'm talking about moving faster then light and how doing this would make you travel backward into the past. this is all saying we can theoretically move faster then light through some kind of imaginary dark matter futuristic space ship. I have a scenario where time travel would take place due to the space ship going faster then light. Now in my theory, two space ships are beside eachother talking with a sun shining light on them. One does a faster then light launch to a distance where it would take about 40 seconds to get to at light speed. the space ship then turns aro…

On another thread I said I’d sign of for good. But in response to popular demand…well OK, to one disappointed reader anyway, ie: …I thought I'd start a new thread. To describe what this thread is basically about is quite simple. But, I’ve concluded, to effectively argue for a theory of a nonlocal cause just from the consistently confirmed empirical evidence is very subtle and requires an account quite unlike any other in modern science. This and the fact that a very wide range of natural evidence needs to be examined together to adequately support this theory, and just to definitely show both that and how an invisible cause acts in addition to the forces ar…

If you can find the time too read the this, I am looking for feedback. Rough Draft. Lengthy but interesting; the main gist is in the second to last section. Introduction “We, and all other animals, are machines created by our genes” -Richard Dawkins To begin, I would like it to be noted that I am a subscriber to the “Selfish gene theory”. That is, I believe that our bodies are no more than complex structures capable of chemical manipulation which are designed to transport and propagate our genomes. Everything we do, from sexual urges, to operant behavior, and perhaps a large amount of actions that we consider to be driven by “free will” are in fact done to s…

This thread reminds me of those american soap operas. "Bold and the Beautiful" type, where you stop watching at episode 10, come back at episode 7443 and it's EXACTLY the same. I don't know if you guys don't notice because you're in the midst of the debate or because you're too involved with defending science as we know it, but if a mod decides to randomly delete 40 out of 55 posts here, no one will miss them. It's REPETITIVE. The repetition is obvious, too, to an outside observer: MotorDaddy asks a vaguely strawmanish question. SFNers answer. MotorDaddy straw-mans the answer to fit his imaginative view of physics. SFNers correct him and point out the str…

Abstract: The following article 'Cosmic Powerhouse of Einstein and Grand Unified Theory', reveals Einstein's most famous scientific equation, E = mc2, and explicates the inner puzzles of Einstein's state of mind. Particularly, it focuses on Einstein's postulations connected with his own theory, 'cosmological constant'. Even though Einstein was very near to the immeasurable scientific ocean of relativity, he created a block to further discovery and understanding with his assumptions of a 'static universe' connected with the 'cosmological constant', hindering the science of cosmology from proving wonders after wonders like E = mc2. This article explores the human limitation…

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…
