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.

COMMENT PHYSICS TODAY To begin with, I am truly saddened, because a large number of physicists (university professors, researchers, etc) are so blind, that they fail to see and understand the following: 1. Galileo was wrong (the Tower of Pisa Experiment). Therefore, the “equivalence principle” of the General Theory of Relativity (which, as we all know, is based on Galileo’s experiment) is obviously wrong, too. 2. The advance of Mercury’s perihelion (43''/century)is due to the Sun’s revolution around the center of mass of the solar system, and not to the curvature of space-time around the Sun, as Einstein erroneously asserts. 3. By c…

I made another thread about the relationship of QM and organic evolution in which I thought was interesting so I would like to rehash such with a different question. In quantum decoherence a themes is that quantum systems are not isolated environments. If by QM its possible to model the total reality of an environment, even if its by individual systems operating as a collective whole, be it an organism or a star. The question then I think takes on more of a role being QM is a framework in which to explain the presence of something so elementary in these systems such as a star and or chemistry. So using a QM framework somewhat akin to decoherence do you think it w…

Speculation Postulate 1: space is expanding everywhere (between galaxies as well as inside atoms) Postulate 2: matter is composed of point like particle If every thing scale with time, the density of the universe is constant. Looking back in time, a meter stick seem to contract, but if you go back in time, a meter stick will look the same, everything had contracted. Do you see what I mean ? Thanks in advence for your comments

Physicists at Krackinbrein University in Polend, have discovered evidence of photon “dandruff”, which they say indicates that photons may have “hair”. Photons have long been believed to be completely hairless, but the new research could untangle some of the mysterious properties of these very small bits of matter and/or energy ("or something like that", the researchers say). The scientists are eagerly awaiting the results of new experiments, and have said they expect to find different “styles” of photon's hair. There is eager anticipation of the photon “mullet”, the “Swayze”, the “Jong-Il”; some expect to find bald photons after all: this is (the scientists say) b…

I am here to speak on (masculinity/handsome) now I hope I'm not saying offencive things . OK the first thing I need to do is define masculinity/handsome in a simple way, it is the opposite of feminine. so for instance if were talking about the body, soft & small would fit on the female side , hard muscular and big would be the male side . and for facial features thin nose, thin lips, small jaw bone, small cheek bone, pretty eyes,lighter skin, female. and for male, large lips, large nose ,large jaw bone, large cheek bone, handsome eyes with large bone above eyes, dark skin, broad shoulders, male . Now let me get on another subject about the essence of <masculin…

Energy is a measurement of two items, one entity (mass) and one action (speed). Entities can change form but not their total content therefore mass is conserved. Speed can be transfered between entities therefore although speed is conserved (conservation of momentum) it is not necessarily conserved by the same entity; but total content of the system (speed and mass) is conserved (decay does not occur). Heat is a measure of (particle) speed, sound is a measure of pressure. Speed and pressure cause changes of form (deformation).

Life at its simplest remove is essentially the storage of energy. This storing (a process) does not come free; Life has to use energy to store energy. This extra comes from the environment. Life is an ongoing balance between using stored energy to find more of it, but there's no free lunch.

Is it possible to make environments in which lifespan of particles change? I mean if you could make one that could expand a pion lifetime would that open up new ways of research? I mean just from one imaginary point of view if you will what would a mass of pion act like if you could interact with it in a variety of ways.

I'm sure many of you know of the film The secret. There was little science in the video which would lead even mildly sceptical people to pass it off as rubbish. Briefly, it says that through the power of human emotion and thought we can bring about what ever we want in our lives no matter how big or small it is. They say in the video that this "law of attraction" is strongly linked with quantum physics. I don't quite understand the link below but I think many of you would. Dr. John Hagelin Quantum physicist presents the answer. its linked with stopping crime and stuff. http://streaming.mou.org/MOU/Dr_Hagelin/Tucsontalk.wmv If that link does not work go…

About the philosophy of the negation of the axiom of choice I refer to set theory with urelements ZFU as in "The axiom of choice", Thomas Jech, North Holland 1973. Let us assume the negation of the axiom of choice and that space of particles is U of ZFU. Let U1xU2X....XUiX...... be the void set with Ui a set of locations. We can see the Existence and the Non Existence linked, contradicting the Existence of Parmenides and the Becoming of Heraclites. We can see the Infinite and the Void tied up in an unexpected way. We can see that Non Existence is closer to the Infinite than to the finite. We can see that we can apprehend space with mathematics in a wa…

COMPLAINT Today, various "great Physicists", Universities, reviews, forums, etc are absolutely responsible for "blocking" the evolution of Physics. Unfortunately, all the above have led Physics to a "Middle Age" for the following simple reasons: A. RELATIVITY THEORY 1. As it is known, huge amounts of money have been spent for the verification of the Relativity Theory, for instance 200,000,000 dollars for the Gravity Probe B experiment and the results obtained are being questioned! Experiment Gravity Probe b, is a great foolishness of Physicists. On the contrary, with small amounts of money, if the experiments suggested on http://www.tsolkas.gr are perform…

I am taking a college course in yoga to meet the Physical Education requirement for my degree in Computer Science. My yoga teacher emphasizes a lot on spiritual beliefs and often teaches them as fact. She teaches a lot about spirits and the "astral plane" but never provides scientific evidence to support these lessons. She says that these beliefs are known to be true and have been proven by science. Whenever I ask her for evidence, she often says that I need to practice meditation and go there myself. I do practice meditation as she has instructed, but I sometimes have blurry vision whenever I open my eyes again. I told her that I was concerned about this, but sh…

New metaphors can create new realities Lakoff and Johnson, coauthors of “Metaphors we Live By”, speak of a newly arrived Iranian student who had mistaken the constant refrain he heard from other students that “the solution of my problems” meant that they were talking about a metaphor that was unfamiliar to him but sounded very intriguing. This Iranian student was very disappointed when he discovered that these other students were speaking in frustration rather than of a new and wonderful metaphor. He had mistaken this ‘solution of my problems’ was some kind of chemical mixing bowl, “which he took to be a large volume of liquid, bubbling and smoking, containing al…

Our world is composed of four dimensions. However if each component of space has individual "time", what would happen especially on the electromagnetic phenomena? Of course those times must be almost equal with each other since we haven't yet observed any break of isometry of time in the space. I tried to introduce those virtual three times into Maxwell's equations as; http://hecoaustralia.fortunecity.com/maxwell/maxwell.htm

According to a scientist named Albert Roy Davis, magnetism consists of two separate energies with opposite effects. The North pole has a counterclockwise spin and causes matter to contract while the South pole has a clockwise spin and causes matter to expand. Davis and Rawls describe in their first book, Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System, that the currently accepted method of showing the lines of force of a magnet (Faraday's) is incorrect. There are other incorrect conclusions according to Davis and Rawls regarding the directional flow of magnetic energy. Here is what they have to say about Faraday's method. "The use of a flat piece of paper with iro…

Critical Self-Consciousness I once asked a professor of philosophy what is philosophy about, she said “philosophy is about radically critical self-consciousness”. I have decided that CT (Critical Thinking) is the first important step on to this stage of critical self-consciousness. CT is philosophy light. Our mind tends to be dominated by the ego and the group when we have not yet become critically self-conscious. I am not an expert in these matters (such has never hindered me from expressing my considered opinion) but from the things I read regarding critical self-consciousness they make sense to me. Ego influences me by: I think it is true therefore it …

FREE FALL OF BODIES 3-body problem (special case) According to the Newton's Mechanics: Let us consider a mass M of radius Ro. At a distance h from the center of this mass M, we place a spherical shell (e.g a spherical elevator) of mass m1 and radius R. Moreover, at the center of the spherical shell we place another point mass m2, (m1 ≠ m2). Now t= 0 (Phase I), we allow these three masses m1, m2, M to move freely under the influence of the force of universal attraction. Let us also assume that after a time dt (Phase ΙΙ), υ1, υ2 and V are respectively the velocities of masses m1, m2 and Μ, relative to an inertial observer Ο. Note:Masses m1, m2, and M are c…

There is no 3-dimensional edge to spacetime. There is an "edge" to its expansion, which is the "arrow" of entropy. The expansion and the "fact": the universe has no (Euclidean) boundary, are related. The "vector" of time (Time's arrow) is obviously not a real quantity, but belongs in the imaginary realm. Is it still logically consistent to say the vector (of time) is measurable? Of course. How should it be modelled? Do we only have a single point we can consider? This last seems to, in fact, be the case. We need to invent, for ourselves, some point; a reference, to be able to take the pulse of anything we call "motion": the movement of mass -(ourselves, with our sing…

This will be very quick, but I would be interested to see what those here can come up with... it is more of a brain game for the cosmologically inclined (ie. how could you test this crackpot theory? ): What if the Brane and Big Bang theories actually can coexist? If for instance the "big bang" was less about matter, and more of an explosion of physical law? In this thought of mine, energy+law= a universe. I would therefor not define the result of the big bang as a "universe", but more of an instantaneous definition of the laws under which this universe exists. A tabula rasa onto which the matter has yet to be "written". I will call this portion of the univ…

During my recent research endeavors I came across an intriguing concept; that of zero point energy. I have spent hours attempting to learn more and gain a better grasp, however I cannot find any reliable unbiased web sites from which to gather further information. If anyone could provide a reliable site or elucidate on the topic it would be much appreciated.

For the sack of agurement, lets say that once a person dies there is no heaven or hell for him to go to, lets even say thats the end of him( lets call him Max), so once Max dies the only thing remaining of him in the universe is his memory which is stored in living ppls minds and pictures:eyebrow: Now Max who just die would'nt feel anything right since nothing remains, and the consence being which once stated himself as (me) is no more, this is one possible part, next it could be that he finds himself saying i again,,, but this time in a different newly consence being (and this time he goes by the name Maxter) ALL OF THE ABOVE IS purely based on that saying which g…
