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.

Positive and negative charge are often viewed as equal and opposite entities but there are observations that indicates wider differences. One observation has to do with the positive charge's preference for higher mass to form a proton and the negative charges preference for smaller mass, i.e., electron. Although it is possible to form a negative proton and positive electrons these are unstable or exist at a higher energy state than the proton and electron, with the latter always the final default state. One may argue that because of the current proton-electron univers, this is the reason for instability. To test this hypothesis let us assume one of the continuou…

Funny - i don't know if this is a widely known argument used by science against the bible - i have never seen it - but it is amazing now that i think about it. I was reading Genesis, the relevant chapters in the Noah story - time and again, it is emphasized that EVERY living beast on land, as well as critters and flying creatures (fish are an exception), came into the ark. "From all flesh with the spirit of life in it" is a phrase used again and again. So that being the case, according to Creationists why would God leave out all extinct animals from the ark? Because he wanted to? If he could fit elephants inside, surely he could fit in Compsognathus LOL - especial…

One cause of radioactive decay of atoms is the decrease in wavelength of the atomic wave structure; with distance from the atomic centre. In the case of atoms the Hall fraction (wavelength) decreases rapidly at the larger atomic numbers making it difficult to add and retain particles of a fixed wavelength (i.e. the wavelength of a free electron). The atom not only has to capture the electron but in order to retain the electron the atom has to compact the electron on one axis; so that the compacted electron wavelength fits the outer wavelength (Hall fraction) of the atomic structure. The nucleus plays a different part in that it has to retain the proton that pairs with th…

Hi, everyone! A. Zeilinger wrote, "All modern experiments confirm the quantum predictions with unprecedented precision. Evidence overwhelmingly suggests that a local realistic explanation of nature is not possible." (A. Zeilinger, Nature, 408 (2000), 639.) We can make a home experiment to show that in the antigravitational field some non-local phenomena happen. 1 Steps of the experiment Please visit the following link to view the picture. http://xczhx.c59.zgsj.com/nonlocal/100_7312.JPG (1) Prepare a scrap of blank squared paper which is to be placed at an upper position and hence is called the upper scrap hereafter. (2) Lay the upper scrap face up a…

The luminiferous Aether is massive environment by definition. Such environment can behave like thin gas, surrounding/penetrating the movable objects. Or it can behave like very dense matter, from the density fluctuations of which the observable objects are created. The M-M experiment has refuted only the thin Aether concept, which is irrelevant to luminiferous concept in fact. Because the light can be of very high energy density (the gamma and cosmic radiation in particular), it's evident, the luminiferous aether must be very dense stuff, with higher energy density, then the energy density of most energetic light to be able to spread the light in waves. Surprisingly e…

I don't think, such approach violates the forum topic - on the contrary. In the high energy conditions (i.e. the presence of strong gravitational or even electromagnetic fields) the vacuum is becoming birefringent. Which basically means, single space-time event can establish two or more consequences depending on the polarization of light, which is mediating such event at distance. This can be interpreted as manifestation of quantum fluctuations in time arrow on cosmological scale back and forth or even the existence of multiple time dimensions . In the presence of extremely strong gravitational field, such plurality can even lead into formation of multiple event horizons …

The Coccyx The Coccyx is the last bone in the vertebral column. It was mentioned in many Hadiths that this bone is the origin of humans and the seed from which they will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment and that this part doesn’t decay in the earth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The honoured Hadiths: Abu Huraira reported that The Prophet (PBUH) said: “All what of son of Adam will (be eaten???) by the earthexcept the coccyx from which he was created and from which he will be resurrected ” Reported by Albukhari, Al Nassaii, Abu Daoud, Ibn Majah and Ahmad in his Mousnad and Malek in his Moua…

Hi everyone, What if quantum theory is showing us how our world and beyond are, and instead of coming up with all these new theories to explain this strange new world we take another look at how the existance we experience can be questioned. Are we really individuals? Do we occupy the same space? Are there even two things? If within one space there is only one thing then everything that forms within that one space is that one thing. An analogy: Like Lego (The Blocks) the whole universe is one solid lump of many energised lego blocks appearing as empty space and through many combinations all matter and all forms. One thing is every other thing and even th…

What is wrong with the idea that the Big Bang could be a finite structure (say a million times the visible universe) and the part of it we can see just looks homogeneous due to being a very small section of a very large structure? -Cuetek

Mass is 3 dimensional and energy i would think is 1 dimensional. I think this because energy is not an object as in 3D and it does not have a spatial area as in 2D but it has a momentum due to its spin even a rest although you may correct me on this. You did ask if there are any competing ideas, so if i may? Energy and mass are the same thing (e=mc2) so if all the mass in the universe were converted to energy would we have a 1D universe? So could it be that the origin of mass is a 1D thing? I believe the dimensions are said to be arbitrary and one cannot exist without the other but i have yet to find a satisfactory reason for this beleif and this mass energy con…

my title for my theory on black holes A permanent, electro magnetic, thermal conductive, nuclear driven, static electrical, gravitational magnetic filed, x ray, generator . a black hole that dose not conflict with physics Earth mass (M⊕) is the unit of mass equal to one Earth. 1 M⊕ = 5.9736 × 1024 kg. Earth mass is used to describe masses of the rocky planets. One Earth mass can be converted to related units: 81.3 Lunar mass (ML) 0.003 15 Jupiter mass (MJ) 0.000 003 003 Solar mass (M⊙) Inertial mass is the mass of an object measured by its resistance to acceleration. where f is the force acting on the body and v is its velocity. For the moment, we will pu…

Add more about ?tron phypothesis. In a light atom model, like H, we see two ?tron balls, about same size, one is the nuclea with densed ?trons around it, the other one is loosed ?tron ball around electron. The H act as an dipole, has to marry another H to stable and form H2. For a heavier atom model, like carbon, we see a denser nuclea ball with 6 small electron balls around it. In a very heaver atom, we see very densed nuclea ball with more layers of electron balls. All the balls in all matters, act each other by electro force. But somehow, between matter and matter, even the electrical charges are equal, it's net force is a weak attraction. Th…

I will learn how to communicate properly with you people. I will learn the math that it takes to do this. I will work on my grammar. This all will take some time . I will have questions about math. and how to understand things like Me=5.9736times 10 to the 24 =5973600000000000000000000. That was the fist battle I have had on the internet, hey it was fun but not what i'm looking for. Thanks for closing the post that was out of hand. so be nice I would love some good help. ps. if you want to battle:-) im sure we can find some where els to do it not hear.

If everything is a wave and particles are only the wave being observed, is the whole universe just one single wave? If every particle is every other particle because there is only the wave is there only one coordinate where every particle exists?

I have heard countless times that time is some sort of 4th dimension or something that flows around us, and it really got me thinking about how that was possible. I found that it isn't and time is actually only a measurement. A measurement of movement. Think about it. You could take almost anything with a time measurement in it and replace it with movement. "I am 5 days old." A day is only (from our perspective) the movement of the sun when it make a circle around the earth, so you could also say something like this. "I am 5 rotations of the sun old." Also it is not time that ages us, but movement. If we were to be in a vaccum of sorts, with no motion whatsoever, you coul…

Do you believe in the "Bible Code?" Supposedly, using computers, people can find predictions of the assasinations of people, wars, and such. I have seen several of these (like here ) Of course, there are skeptics. (Like this guy! ) He found things like that in Moby Dick. What do you think? (note: If this is in the wrong part of the forum, move it, please.)

A "Dr." of Homeopathy attempts to explain the science behind it. Her approach seems to be doing a lot of namedropping and pulling random terms out of her ass, then stitching it all together into something completely incoherent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZEi8l7p56I

time/space, a random structure. matter, a random structure with defining rules organisms, a random structure with defining rules and choice. Humans, a random structure with defining rules and creative choice. so Consciousness is creative choice from a defined structure choosing thought from all randomness. To measure it is to measure all randomness. Is there anything that you feel you are banned to think, not me. Added Edit: I thought of something that is banned, dimensions in 1D and 2D as well as four, five, six ect. I can think of there representations but i can't actually think of them. I can think of 0D as time. Time is a real entity that is of no physic…

Hall Fractions and Particle Structure. The mass values (actual not the PDG average) for each quark and lepton experiment listed in the Particle Data Group 2006 tables are used to construct a logarithmic graph. The gap between each group and the mass value of the first particle in the higher mass group is used to find the Hall fraction. The theoretical and actual values are listed in the top left panel, and a graph of the actual and theoretical values is shown in the bottom right panel. This should be compared with the criticism of the Constant Linear Force model transferred to ‘Speculations’. It will then be seen that the gaps in table 1 are due to compaction as expla…

.....of the ideas and thoughts in my head! This is not a theory but merely me thinking out loud and seeing what thoughts it provokes in other people. The title may not turn out to be relevant but.... well, let's see. The thread "Gravity is Time" got me to thinking about something else I once said to someone - acceleration = gravity. In this case I meant it in the way Einstein meant ie. if you were in a sealed windowless box (that had extraordinarily good vibration dampening) would you be able to tell if the box was simply sitting on the ground and you feel the 1g pull of the Earth or if you were in a rocket accelerating at 1g in a flat spacetime? All thing…

Time is a man made measure to help us cope with the world around us. It is said that heavier gravity causes time dilation. Duh. Gravity literally slows down the components of an atom so it moves slower. The same with cooling an atom down.

Martin. Light travels at light speed. If in a single second the distance light is going to travel expands by an atom's width due to expansion of the universe, light still travels at light speed and not light speed plus an atom's width. It would have to travel at FTL speeds to stretch so does not do so. I have problems with the idea of FTL expansion as I have problems with the silly big bang idea. If you can get readings of 60c, then that is proof that the readings are misinterpreted, to say the least. iNow. In what reference point do these effects not happen? Are you now claiming that there is some way light does not experience time and that photons can contract? …
