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 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…

Initial Thoughts on Spacetime Theories Its seems that spacetime theories are quite a mainstream theory. I came up with the idea of treating the mind as a dimension of spacetime, and I wasn’t aware of this. Its actually good, because then it cannot be so crack pot. The idea, is that consciousness is related to geometrical features, and are therefore called spacetime theories. I believe it was Arthur Eddington who first came up with the name to the theory, and advanced by Dr. John Smythies. It seems that the theory is based upon the proposal that the spacetime continuum we perceive in the four dimensional phenomenon, neither exists in time nor space… But w…

I was thinking about the concept of vacuum energy and how little is known about it. I had been giving thought to, similarly, how little is really known about gravity. For instance, the other similar force, electromagnetism ([math]F = \frac{C x_1 x_2} {R^2} [/math] for both forces where [math]C[/math] is the constant and [math]x_1 / x_2 [/math] are the two masses/charges) there is an attractive and a repulsive aspect to it whereas no repulsive aspect of gravity has been yet observed. From the equation, the parallel between charge and mass for the two forces can be drawn. Which lead me to think: From our present understanding, there seems to be a net repulsive force in …

this started out tongue-in-cheek over in IRC as we were taking the <you know what> out of these perpetual motion ideas. the main idea is in Bold below. <Klaynos> <YT-AWAY> they`re not even particularly Inventive anymore <--- right what you do is you get a magnet and a wheel and then gravity keeps it going on the long end... <YT-AWAY> basically all he`s done is put a yo-yo on a spring, and used a magnet instead of gravity <YT-AWAY> big deal <YT-AWAY> here`s one, how about capturing the energy from a falling weight and using that to lift soil from out a hole, as long as the weight was more massive per volume that the soil remo…

Since this topic is somewhat covering the expansion of the Universe, I'd like to ask what anyone thinks of this possibility: Could it be possible, that the expansion of the universe, is due to the increase of mass of the objects in it? Since Stars and Planets are collections of matter over time, would not the Increase in mass displace the "Fabric" of Space Time? As something grows heavier the space has to go somewhere right? It makes sense to me that this is why for example distances between Space time are increasing. Space Time might simply be stretching do to increased Mass of all these collections of Matter. How does the Expansion of the Universe Prove the Big…

we were reading the website of "Wikipedia" yesterday and we saw something weird saying: "Perpetual Motion Machines arent impossible but with evidence can there be a rewriting of the Laws of PHYSICS" Perpetual Motion machines can work we believe, only if you design them to do so. Physicists like Joules, Carnot etc developed The Laws of Thermodynamics so as to blame their inefficiency of making one that works Scientists if you dont know make up laws when the failed on attempting a Holy Grail and try to make their names better than being a fool. Carnot tried making a 100% heat engine. Isnt it? but failed and developed the 2nd law of thermodynamics What the…

Riding the time waves (separate essay) Abstract This is an essay evolved from my spacetime theory, essay one. My premise, is that the information in the subliminal realm of consciousness, which I define as being the same thing as the proposed ‘’Imaginal Realm Model,’’ of quantum physics, have a velocity of v>c. Wiki, an on-line source of information states: ‘’ Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.’’ wiki The velocity of a wave, can be defined many ways, and they are by theory found to be at different speeds. What I am interested in, is the spee…

sure it true that EINSTEIN through geometry understands and can predict where in the future an abject will be and invents space-time to do so. but because geomerty is not about any physical dynamics , or the cause of the geometry , this is where his theory falls short comments

As this is my first post here, hi to all - thanks for having me. I have for a while, no doubt like many, been absolutely fascinated by the above question, not just for the Physics involved, but the implied philosophy as well. So, a while ago I started "seriously" pondering the consequences that a "Theory of this Everything" must be able to resolve, and was especially bothered by how "contrived" String/M Theory seemed to me to be. An idea took root that I've sat on pretty much until last month, when I wrote a small paper on my ideas and passed it to a Physicist colleague who'd trained in Quantum Mechanics. "Wow!" was his first response along with lots of su…

Physics and the actual infinite (simplified) About Galileo and about the infinite After Archimedes, Galilei Galileo applied mathematics to physics. Alexandre Koyré wrote in "D'un monde clos à l'univers infini" that Galileo threw Earth in the Sky. For almost all ancient greeks, the Earth and the Sky were not connected and mathematics applied only to the Sky. Nowadays, scientists and philosophers think that the actual infinite cannot be applied in physics. So now is the time for furthering of Galileo of applying mathematics to physics. Establishing a link between the actual infinite and the Big Bang is furthering the insight of Galileo. The physical sp…

You know, some of the assumptions we make about the Big Bang are patently ridiculous. Take the cosmological principle. Sure, at the scale of galaxy clusters the universe is very homogeneous and that homogeneity extends for thousands of times the diameter of the Visible universe. But, not forever. We can be confident only out to, at most, around a million times the diameter of the vis u. before uncertainty completely dominates the argument. The best evidence we have is the WMAP data and it's only resolute to 25 parts per million or so. And the temperature of the CMB radiation that it measures varies over 1 part in 10,000 (not absolutely homogeneous to begin with…

Is a well-stated and well-excepted theory of quantum mechanics and Relativity. It states that every type of solid matter with rest energy is nothing but trapped forms of Luxon energy: Particles which move with a velocity equal to that of lightspeed. In 1997, scientists where able to make particles from pure light. This was the confirmation needed to give us a theoretical model stating that all matter was in fact just trapped light. Here, Isaac Newton speculates the very nature of transumatations concerning light and matter with rest energy… ‘’Are not gross Bodies and Light convertible into one another, and may not Bodies receive much of their Activity from th…

(Excerpt: Those who are demanding, are only looking for the same truth as you) The Three Principles of Consciousness (Recently, my model of consciousness has evolved. I figure that the following results are required for a model of the brain and cognitivity.) As much as it might seem at times that the mind is totally ''free'' of the boundaries of time, it really isn't. In fact, it's just that we have a phenomenally-complex outlook on existence, that existence itself seems so ''defied;'' and this illusion is brought on by three principles of mind. 1. The Principle of Expectancy 2. The Principle of Uncertainty 3. The Principle of Certainty Time, as …

First, a quote from the Wiki page on Fractals: A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A fractal often has the following features: It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales. It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically). It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater th…

I was provided with a link to Einsteins View on the compatibility of an aether with relativity on another site. It has made me think a bit further on the nature of the proposed aether. Einstein says that for the aether to be consistent with Relativity it can not be thought of as existing of individual particles in relation to which motion can be measured. But then how can it have the needed properties for electromagnetic radiation and gravity to exist? Logic dictates that everything is infinitely devisable, for when you choose to stop dividing after any number of divisions you could still in principle divide to yet another level. So if you take it to the limit (pun intend…

You certainly have the roads you want to go down picked out. I've already been there, and can recommend some reading for you that you might find extremely interesting. Personally I consider these people crackpots, but I think you'd get a kick out of them: John Searle: Famous for his "Chinese Room" thought experiment which attempts a reductio ad absurdum against functionalism. Proponent of "biological naturalism," the idea that consciousness arose naturally but can only be a property of biological systems. Christopher Michael Langan: Famous for his high IQ, and a proponent of the "Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe", or CTMU (pronounced cat mew). His mod…
