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.

  2. This is my first post, I have a question and would love to get some feedback. What are some current thoughts or explanations of the concept of "units" of nothingness existing. Here are mine please someone explain how I am proven wrong. On an abstract level we can understand what nothingness describes. But by definition it is a contradictional essence. Simply by being catagorized as nothing the presumed nothing instantly trancends into being something. But what if the so called "nothingness" (for lack of a better word) follows the concepts of nothing while being something. The one property of nothingness would be to not have anyother properties other than not…

    I don't think we can prove anything is infinite and that all scientific laws apply everywhere becuase we can't be everywhere at once and we can't be be here to observe something for infinite.

    What if you simply examine reality as a case of ABSOLUTE motion within an ABSOLUTE 4 dimensional frame. In other words, Time is to be regarded as being a dimension of which we can cross, and it is just part of the complete 4 dimensional Space-Time environment in which all events take place. Funny enough, if you see Time in this way, the outcome of the examination of such a structure, predicts changes that if converted into mathematical equations, become identical to equations known as.... 1) The Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction equation. 2) The Time Dilation equation. 3) The Lorentz Transformation equations. 4) The Velocity Addition equation. One may direct…

    From:http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18524911.600 4 Belfast homeopathy results MADELEINE Ennis, a pharmacologist at Queen's University, Belfast, was the scourge of homeopathy. She railed against its claims that a chemical remedy could be diluted to the point where a sample was unlikely to contain a single molecule of anything but water, and yet still have a healing effect. Until, that is, she set out to prove once and for all that homeopathy was bunkum. In her most recent paper, Ennis describes how her team looked at the effects of ultra-dilute solutions of histamine on human white blood cells involved in inflammation. These "basophils" releas…

    I have found an excellent video that is very scientific, yet it provides evidence against evolution. If you watch this video, you will see that the people who created it have an excellent understanding of evolution. The video starts by explaining the theory in great detail, and then it mentions lots of problems with the theory. Here is the link to the video: http://www.christiananswers.net/creation/aqoo/home.html Just click where the moving text says, "Watch Video Here" and then select your connection speed. I think you all will be impressed with how much evidence they provide.

    INTRODUCTION I’ve always held Albert Einstein in the highest regard. I admire his ability to think outside the box, I empathise with his curiosity, and I share his desire to understand the world in terms we can grasp. And I so love the romance of the lowly patent clerk who applied his fresh young mind to the world’s great mysteries. There he was, in the dying days of horse-drawn transport, dreaming of light, and of space and time. What he came up with was just so profound. It feels like it was ahead of its time, and I suppose it was. It took a long time to catch on, a long time to earn recognition, and a long time to catch the public eye. But when it did, the public w…

    MASS EXPLAINED v3.0 You know that energy is an intangible thing. You can’t hold pure energy in the palm of your hand. Because energy is stress, which is the same as pressure, which is the same as negative tension, and you need a volume of stress to get the dimensionality right. You know that mass is a tangible thing. You can hold an object in your hand and feel the mass of it. You even know that E=mc², and that the intangible thing called energy can be used to make the tangible thing called mass. But you don’t know how. I’ll explain how. The answer is all down to motion. Or the lack of it. You have to get relative, and think in terms of momentum and ine…

    Ok, pure speculation I devised while doing some dishes:D This is sort of based on my deformed understanding of GR I guess and some QM I would suggest, be aware though this is purely speculation. Ok, lets say dark stuff, dark matter/dark energy is the most primordial substance. Now lets say in this it has some degree of physics that currently is not understood save for interaction with gravity/time. Now lets say some weird quantum effect took place in which this basic substance was able to gain mass, or take on a form such as an electron or photon for example, or in general something that we see in the visible universe currently. Boom, you have your bang in a sor…

    BELIEF EXPLAINED When I analysed my basic concepts, I found things that weren’t real, that don’t exist, that we never actually see. But we assume they’re real, we take them for granted, and we believe in them. Because we have holes in our understanding, holes that we’ve all grown up with. We’ve lived with them for so long that we don’t know they’re there any more. We cover them up with ignorance of our ignorance, with our blindness of our blind spot, and we shield ourselves with a peer pressure that persuades there are no alternatives to consider. We do it because we are social animals, we follow the herd, we are prey to groupthink. That’s the way we are. So much so, …

    Most models of the universe are more geared toward physics. I would like to add something associated with the time between the formation of the primal hydrogen and where gravity takes over to make structures. In this span of time, chemical affects should be the dominant affect. For example, if we have an expanding cloud of ionized H, the H and electrons are sharing in a very openly distributed way. This is sort of like glue that just keeps the hydrogen from diffusing away. Essentially the EM forces and the outer orbitals of H help bind the cloud. The further down the energy levels the electrons can get the more stabile the H atoms. The coolest zone will be on th…

Take [math]10^{100}[/math] identical sticky spheres with a 1 unit radius and 1 unit mass. Place them randomly in a finite space, give them random speed from 0 to .999 c and random directions. Defenitions: -Sticky: When two spheres toutch each other: --If the difference in speed is less than .001 c they will stick --else (>.001c) it is an elastic collision. -Momentum is conserved when 2 spheres stick together or bounced of each other. Let run the simulation! We cannot run a program with [math]10^{100}[/math] on all the computers on earth,…

    There are plenty of stories that use the power of telekinesis to some extent or another and I've always wondered just how exactly that's "supposed" to work, if that was possible. Particularly energy. Would it be a manipulation of matter to cause a release of energy? Or would energy somehow be controlled directly? IOW, if I'm a "Fire Starter", like in King's old novel, what exactly is "supposed" to be happening that enables me to start a fire? Am I really controlling matter, causing molecules to vibrate or heat up and spark a fire, or could I really control fire itself? Sounds like I'm asking about the intent of the author, but I'm not actually. I guess I ne…

    This is also about quantum mechanics. Severian Very often people come to these fora with a belief that our current theories of physics, such as the Standard Model or relativity, are flawed and present some alternative of their own. On the whole, this is a fine attitude to take - we should always be skeptical, and it is good if people can think a little 'out of the box' and generate ideas which more standard thinkers may not have come up with. I have always thought that genius was not an ability to think 'better' than everyone else - it is an ability to think differently from everyone else. However, when coming up with a new theory it is important that it should b…

    Do you think that ghost really exists? Many people and cultures around the globe have their own story about ghost. There has a theory that ghost only a wavelength. I never see ghost before. But one night I can feel the existence of this creature. I can feel a strong magnetic field around my house. But many of scientist and other people deny of this creature. That is not very easy to explain about this creature. Maybe one day there have an explanation about this mystery.

    I have a question that is purely speculative in nature. Is it possible to view the big bang as anti/gravity? ( the repusive force ) I never really liked the fact that gravity was attractive only. Being an accountant I like the concept of balance and symmetry and everything being accounted for.( action/reaction; attraction/repulsion; left/right symmetry; etc. ) So I was wondering if the expansion of the universe ( which I guess is still going on ) is the anti/gravity and our regular gravity which is attractive are equated? I would appreciate the members thoughts on this. Thank you, Profpat

    I often wonder what it would take to design a small dimension capable of supporting human life removing the factors of gravity and the ability to make a physical plane not residing in the universe. I always imagined this dimension to be nothing but 4 dimension, 3 spacial and one time, in an empty cube several hundred miles in height, width and depth. I ponder questions like these.... -How to create weather cycles -Designing an artificial sun -Supporting plant life without the use of a sun -How to manage air quality with pollutation related substances let off into the air. as well as a few others. I always imagined this world filled at least a mile high…
