Speculations

Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.

Speculations Forum Rules

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    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.)

    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? …

And if this is true does anything really sincerly exist, or are we just in one big mental trip???

    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, …

  23. (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…
