Speculations

I've been wondering, can someone do something to make himself smarter? Or is there a limitation to one's ability to learn or his intellect?

(and so is evolution) http://www.fixedearth.com/ Did I mention this web site is backed by Warren Chisum, a Texas Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee?

Does anyone know of some easy to build cold fusion? I’m seeking to generate electricity around 400W min, and some people say that cold fusion are nice but, other say it’s crap. What to you guy’s think?

Hello Bored again today, haven't seen enough wacked out conspiracy theories lately, and the Weekly World News is in a slump (a far more informative and authoritative periodical then one would care to believe). So what nice crazy idea can you come up with to explain some current event or social-political or economical movement? Or what is the best you've heard lately? OK I'll start us off Why is Bush ignoring the will of the American people and continuing to build up the war in Iraq. Because it has be devulged to him by Pat Robertson that he has been annointed to bring about Amageddon. And that Iran really has no Nukes but members of the Skull…

I have devolped this theory based on my interrpretation of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, along with other theories involved with this area of space. I welcome any comments regarding it to see what you all think and how i may improve/elaborate upon my theory. Here it is: I would like to take this time to introduce my newest theory. This theory not only states that the outer edge of the universe is expanding, but that it’s core is pulling it in. To understand this, we must first understand how the outer edge of the universe operates. In theory, whether through a “big bang” or otherwise, the universe is expanding. I agree with this theory. There is ample evidence …

Hello In younger days I tended to see the universe around me as a rather complex place. But now with age (forced upon me without conscent) I see the Universe as a very simple place, simple parts, simple componants; which when combined can form complex objects and systems. And as such that's the beauty of the Universe, as with a few basic building blocks you can create about whatever's needed. Conversely that's the danger, complex systems can be brought down by fauilure or change in a simple building block. The object or system is only as strong as its weakest componant. What we have here is one hell of a Lego set. What say you? Mr. D …

I have posted my mission statement here to bring to your attention the following remarkable insight into the world of atomic physics: ....to serve as a reminder of how atomic physics started out as a major cornerstone in quantum science, based on the simple observation that atoms will "glow" or irradiate quantal amounts of energy when energetically excited; and that it is this very "spectral nature" in atoms - a rare and unique property expected to be shared by all life forms, since all living matter is composed of atoms - that enables atomic physics to be scientifically recognized as the only true-path representing mankind's entire human endeavour towards achieving u…

Folks, I think we have our next Kent Hovind: http://www.livevideo.com/video/xtream1/6F7296405A9F46E7B971CC268FD6C23B/carbon-dating-is-a-farce.aspx

When i first began researching the physiological nascent of cancer cells, I stumbled across something that has went unnoticed by the conventional medical community. It turns out, that in my extensive field research, all cancers, ALL, are caused by bacterial toxin proteins. These are analogous to heat shock proteins. These toxin proteins are turned on when the system, the body, has too many competitors. As a result, the bacterial colonies are the same species release the toxins in an attempt to kill all other microbes. Well, unfortunately these toxins have mutagenic properties. They adversely affect DNA structure and prevent DNA repair mechanisms from detecting any deleter…

Dr. Phil Fernandes on evolution Please have a listen to this guy. It is far beyond ridicules, it is unbelievable! Where do they get these people from? The funniest thing is how he described, rightly so, that DNA and said that mutations do not add new letters, they just mix up the existing ones. But than he used this as his argument that novel characteristics could not evolve! This guy makes Dr. Dino look like a genius. OK, maybe not. Corrected. The link works now.

For fear of seeming ignorant or insane, I was hesitant to post this, but since the thread is called "speculations" here it is: I think there is a location in which information exists in the form of energy. I think it is in this location that everything that has ever happened and everything that will ever happen all happen at once and forever. This location is everywhere. This is time. I'm not educated in physics, nor am I good at math. I am highly interested in both and welcome any insight on whether or not this is theoretically possible.

This is a bit "tongue in cheek", but it does have some grounding as a serious question: In the past few years there has been talk about if computers became so powerful that they could simulate reality, and that this computer power would keep growing, that these computers would produce so many simulations that just looking at it statistically, we are more likely to be in a computer simulation than reality. But, computers are used more for entertainment than simulation. Think about the number of CPU cycles used on computers for entertainment (games, etc) than are used for reality simulations. As more computer time is spent in entertainment, then statistically, w…

The Ezekiel Code with DNA Molecule: Fifteen Similarities Dongsheng Zhang Or see the article: http://xkxy.org A 2500-year old enigma (Bible, Ezeliel1:4 to 3:6, consecutive 1000-word paragraphs), we first call it as “Ezekiel Code”, recorded a mysterious thing in a “mirage”: the “four living creatures” were imagining an image of human in a “whirlwind”. Exegetes tried to explain what it was in that vision, but all was so difficult. We compared the Ezekiel Code with the molecular biological discoveries (DNA structure and functions) and gained the surprising results: both of “Ezekiel Code” and biological scientists described the same event, human DNA is right-handed do…

An experiment to determine the effect of crystalline structures on the electromagnetic field generated by the neural activity of Mammalian life. I would set up an experiment where I have several mice in cages, each with numerous crystals and such... for instance, cage #1 would have several Quartz crystals, of different shapes, rough, crystal-cut, polished smooth pebbles, etc. Cage #2 could have Rose Quartz, cage #3 could have Amethyst, cage #4 might have some Citrine crystals, all of different shapes and styles. Phase 1. I would study and analyse the behavioural patterns of the mice (or rats) and how they differ in each of the cages with the crystals in them, …

Disclaimer: I am not a scientist, I do not read other peoples theories. These are my own ideas based on my own reasoning and my general knowledge of the universe. If my ideas are close to anything written by any famous scientist it is purely a coincidence and I have no intention to try and steal others ideas and claim them as my own. Remember it is possible for more than one person to think the same way. My theory on understanding our universe. First of all my theory assumes that there are two fundamental rules that make our universe: Rule number 1: You cannot have something without nothing and you cannot have nothing without something, think of this as sp…

Ampere's Law is Just a "Relativistic Charge Effect" **************************************************** Magnetism is not a real force and does not really exist. Magnetism is just as Einstein had stated a "relativistic effect " of common charge.Magnetism is the result of the movement of charges. If we assume that Charges increases with velocity ************************************** we can explain all static magnetic effects . Instead of using field with right-hand rules we can directly have a look at the forces that charges have on each other. A simple equation q=q0+1/2*q0*v^2/c^2 (1) with Coulomb…

You know that energy is an intangible thing. You can’t hold energy in the palm of your hand. Because energy is to do with stress, which is the same as pressure, which is the same as negative tension, and you need a volume of stress to get the units right. Because stress is force per unit area and energy is force times distance. You know that mass is a tangible thing. You can hold a thing 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 think …

Hi, I'm a newbie here. I'm into art but am also a physics enthusiast. I would like to share my new philosophical view that I would initially call as "Rocket Theory". Although, being into art, I took effort into finally translating my painting into math, in which I will be sharing here. Hopefully we discuss these in languages we both could understand, as I tend to perceive ideas visually. Hopefully, new ideas are welcome in this website and hoping to have openminded exchange of ideas regarding my thread. I perceive that to define our existing Present universe (E=mc^2), there is the need to incorporate 3 more dimensional 'realities.' But these must be perceived from…

This is a just-for-fun thread. What would happen if all neurons in your brain started firing all at once and at their maximum capacity? This, of course, probably can't be answered scientifically, so feel free to speculate (and be creative). Example: You'd suddenly achieve enlightenment and have an omniscient understanding of the universe... and you'd have telekinesis.

Okay, what part of this sentence: ...is the most difficult to comprehend? I'd love to expand that into a layman-oriented description of how consciousness works, but, it's hard. I guess some potential questions would be: What's a temporospatial classifier? What's a global workspace? I don't get the hierarchy bit! Where does your comprehension of the statement break down?

A theory of everything, and a mathematical formulation of a philosophy: Geometric Generalization of the Structure of Nature is reviewed and extended. The updated version of this elegant theory is presented on its new website: http://www.unitytheory.info The new website now includes an Introduction – Quick Overview page. The list of readers’ comments and other similar theories are also added. I would appreciate your comments on this paper. Regards, M. Erk Durgun

I have gone back to basics and interpretated particle experiments with a strict application of the Law of Economy to show that one elementary particle and force are all that is required to explain all the particle data found to date and that the selective rejection and averaging used by the Particle Data Group is not necessary. http://elasticity2.tripod.com/

It has proven extremely difficult for anyone to comprehend how anything can be certain but having a certain beginning and restricted to moving on only when the next step is certain does provide a solution that can then be used to compare with anything in mainstream science that is obtained theoretically and observationally. Science has a multi choice section regarding how the universe came about but the clean alternative that space was always constant everywhere at all times, although more valid, does not gain the same amount of research. While theory almost ignores there being space as we know it before big bang then any solution using space as a certain beginn…

MY theory of everything: Such prooven theories such as general relitivety and string theory BOTH have very valid points, and are most likely quite true. However, although there is no way to proove it, My own theory is that life itself may have existed BEFORE the big bang. It is my opinion (completely unvalidated) that beofre OUR universe (as we know it) expanded, it may have existed in an entirerly differnt state, governed by an entirerly different set of rules and universal laws. It is a posibilty that life may have then existed in this state, in another form from what we know it. However the point of this article is not whether or not life existed beofre the big ban…

TIME EXPLAINED Time is very simple, once you get it. But “getting it” is very very difficult. That’s because your current of time is so deeply ingrained. You think of time as a length: Q: How long will it take to get to London? A: What do you mean long? We form a mental map of the world using our senses and our brains. But the map is not the territory. We use time to think, but we’ve grown so accustomed to thinking the way we do, that we don't think about time any more. We don't see time for what it is. But let’s start with something easier. Let’s start with colour. Follow the link below to conduct an experiment: http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusement…
