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.

I've been wondering for a while if the things that we think control are lives such as angel or demons so to say, control what goes on in the outside world, Or is is it just us simply believing is something that we want to be true.(therfore making it true). And if this is true does anything really sincerly exist, or are we just in one big mental trip???

im a 17 year old, and a while back i wrote to neil asking if he'd look over what i was thinking about...he wrote back but i wanted to run it by you guys as well...i have no real profesional knowlege about these topics, and all these "ideas" are just things ive formulated on my own, without direct outside influence, if you guys could tell me if this stuff is worth further speculation, i would greatly apreciate it. ...keep in mind im sure this is ground already treaded on a million times but ive never heard any of this so i just wanna see if im on to something...we'll see... from what i can remember, i was thinking about singularitys, and the fact that if they are p…

I'm sure a lot of you have read in popular science magazines about Libet's experiment ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Libet ) and the supposed implication regarding conscious will of acts. From the wiki. " Libet's experiments suggest unconscious processes in the brain are the true initiator of volitional acts, therefore, little room remains for the operations of free will. If the brain has already taken steps to initiate an action before we are aware of any desire to perform it, the causal role of consciousness in volition is all but eliminated. " A simple solution to this problem of a acts being initiated in advance is that the brain does a prediction of …

I believe I heard at some point and time someone saying that it was possible to travel backwards in time by traveling at a certain speed. The following are my speculations on things and I might be false in a bunch of stuff, so please bare with me on that. I'm not really all that knowledgeable in this field. Here goes: You cannot travel fast enough to go back in time because it takes time to get to where you are going. You may be able to prevent a future event by traveling at any speed to any location, but you cannot alter a past even by traveling at a speed. Moving from one place, to another place takes a time, because if something goes from one place to another, …

(I think this is my first thread in speculations) This probably doesn't even count as a speculation - just something I noticed when I was helping out a friend with some intro QM. Most people know special relativity's formula for momentum, [math]p=\frac{mv}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}[/math] and that if you put in a velocity greater than c, you will get an imaginary momentum. This is usually discarded as unphysical. Physicists believe that alpha decay occurs when an alpha particle "quantum tunnels" out of a nucleus. I have included the typical simplified cartoon picture of what this looks like (yes, I drew it in paint). The dashed line in the energy of the alpha and the s…

Hi, The answer to why this effect happens is due to new thinking coming from complexquantummechanics. In classical relativity (as Einstein) there is no knowledge. What I have introduced is the concept of the distortion of space as the cuase of relativity. I think you will agree that as we approach the speed of light there will be some distortion of space. Fortunately, this distortion of space is regular and continuous. It is a small step now to suggest that the distortion of space continues at greater than light speed. The force associated with this distortion is called the F wave. Unfortunately, my yahoo group is getting filled up with lots of theory I posted but i…

Norman Albers I think there is an alternative way of explaining 'spacetime' and would like you to consider the following: there is a "spacetime fabric" There is a historical record in the form of light that travels outward from each point of light generation; the observer sees this as an unstoppable film; only the frame present when the time is ‘now’ is observable. The speed at which each frame travels is determined by the density of matter (gravitons). The speed of light is only constant in a vacuum. Because each observer is in a local gravity field, each observer sees light arriving at the same constant speed regardless of the direction from which the lig…

If the universe is isotropic (according to the big bang) then where is the dark matter? It wouldn't appear to be to hard to find as it is supposed to be 95% of all matter. When I drop a pencil it falls to the floor according to the laws of physics, it doesn't fly off to the ceiling or slam into a wall manipulated by unseen stuff. No, no Wimps here in my room.

I just want to hear some opinions from the scientists here on the topic of 2012 which is pretty close, The mayans have with thier astounding mathematics were able to predict solar cycles and I think even galactic cycles around the earth, some scientists like terrance mckenna believe it will be the great shift in human consciousness other scientists believe that planet X will come close to the earths atmosphere I disrupt the balance and cause major pole shifts leading to catastrophic events, I am not sure I believe this but I would still like to hear some opinions on it.

According to the Newton's Mechanics, always: As it is known, the astronomic observations on the advance of the perihelion of planet Mercury produce a value of D = 574"./century. According to the study of L. Verierr (1835), the sum of the perturbative forces of all other planets (Venus, Earth, Mars,.. Pluto) on planet Mercury produce a value of D' = 531"./century. Thus, there is a difference of: δ = D - D' = 574''/century - 531''/century = 43''/century. L. Verierr, in his study, considered that the center of mass of the Sun and the center of mass of the Solar System coincide (namely they are in the same position). But this is wrong because these two ma…

Abstract Draws attention to the fact of a methodological unreasonableness in direct comparisons of space-time parameters in two systems moving past one another with a relativistic velocity. Lorentz’s transformations are qualified in this connection as the subjective - illusory interrelations which do not have the appearance of an objective reality. Problems for an extraneous objective observer are exhibited. In total, known paradoxical absurdities are eliminated and special relativity acquires simplicity. Scales of critical attacks and remarks addressing the well-known theory of special relativity have recently acquired so imposing a scope that it is right to spea…

Heres your answer. The Gravity Time Correlation Gravity and Time are interesting subjects. Einstein actually theorized that they were an intertwined system called space-time. However I have a different theorization. Please stay with me for this. Definitions are from Dictionary.com Gravity - the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall towards the center of the earth. Gravitation by definition is: 1. The force of attraction between any two masses. Compare 2. An act or process caused by this force. Gravitation is the definition that is applicable to when most people use gravity in a sentence that is physics related. Gr…

Original with diagrams is attached Frank King’s goofy intuitive model of the Universe Explosions in a fluid Let’s consider the wave behavior that results in the atmosphere at sea level when an explosion occurs. (diagram Concentric circles) The explosion occurs at the dot in the diagram. Before the explosion, the air pressure is equal to one atmosphere everywhere. After the explosion, you will have three distinct pressure zones. a. This zone has atmospheric pressure less than one atmosphere b. This zone’s pressure is greater than one atmosphere c. This zone’s pressure is one atmosphere The reason for this is that the energy of the expl…

So the universe is growing if I understand things. Well maybe space would be a better word? I read up on stuff like hubble and they find the idea that the universe is accelerating because C is always constant in a vacuum right or in space at least until a medium is contacted if I have my understanding correct. We can also gauge the age of the universe to say 13.7 billions years right? Yet the age compared to the speed of light is what shows the acceleration or growth of space via things like redshift correct? I just don’t understand something. Spacetime is to warp via GR which is gravity right. So does this impact the growth at all? IS this acceleration due to effect…

"Atime" theory According to Einstein, all people have their own relative time. If I was traveling 0.5c on my ufo orbiting the earth really fast, and my friend on earth was sitting down, our times would vary. Lets say person A is standing next to person B. Person A has a different time than person B (insignificantly small difference, but its still a "difference"). If person A is now holding one end of a rope while person B is holding the other end, their times are still different (plus or minus 0.000000000...............1 seconds). You can think of person A as your left hand and person B as your right hand. Think of the rope as your chest connecting …

I was led to think that HIV was a man made virus by a few factors The Year it was discovered and started This is one of the areas for suspicion. Bascially as far as records go, HIV was kinda reared its ugly head in the 1950s. That was at least a few short years after the WW2. And also there were records of Nazis invading Africa in the ww2. So it's not surprising that the Nazi being homephobic and racist, would make something to cull the undesirable population apart from tankers and soldiers. The birthplace it shares with many viruses of the same nature It just too coincident that the mostly horrible or sexually/ intravenously spread diseases came from Africa. Yo…

i belive that scince the earth is an orb floating in a space, that it is not physically connected to,if materials of diffirnet calibers and uses are alll in one place and dont seem to only be capable of being used to take us to space, maybe all materials are arranged in an order from where they first appeared, so if magnets have electristy in them maybe the elctrisisty escapes and travels throught the air into the other magnet like an air hockey table,. becuase if lighting melting the ground put electrisity in it and made big deposits of metal( which is just melted dirt) then it would have holes from the air and layering and boiling and so forth which would explain why we…

How the Galaxies are Formed? Logically, what is born has to die. Usually elliptical galaxy can create after cyclonic merging of two spiral galaxies (galaxy cannibalism). huge gravitation of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 could cannibalize dwarf and giant spiral neighbor galaxies later. "Neighbor" ellipse galaxy M87 has quasar inside and gives birth fiery “small” proto-galaxies nebula-nucleuses. We can see vividly erupted proto-galaxy masses from core of M87. “Small” proto-galaxies nebula-nucleuses are creating dwarf galaxies. After eruption from quasar proto-galactic mass has enormous temperature, hundreds of millions degrees. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/a…

Given the logistics and funding as not being an issue, this thread is for sharing ideas (even outlandish) on future methods for providing energy for Earth. You can only use known or emerging technology, and your idea has to agree with physical laws...so no perpetual motion et.c An example would be...(I haven’t thought it through) A large superconducting generator outside the Earths atmosphere, (much easier to bring to lower temperatures) and with the transmission of electricity through superconducting wires, which are liquid nitrogen cooled and have a carbon nanotube exterior, that serve as a tower for the generator...similar to the space elevator, but on a larg…
