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.

    First of all I must explain that I am not a mathematician, I am a dyslexic visual thinker, so what I am saying and showing here is just my visual understandings of how Nature works. So you will not see very much math in this paper. But I must add that all of Newton’s and Einstein’s math still apply here. None of their math that explains the actions of broth magnetic and gravitational fields in any way needs to be changed. For most of two hundred years now mankind has known of the two main accelerating fields of force that rule the universe. First there are the ever eluding gravitational fields of force, and then there are the universal magnetic fields of force. …

    Dear Forum Can anyone show me the math that will show Einstein’s mass stretching, or becoming elongated at, or near the speed of light. Did he show this mathematically, or just theoretically say that it would occur? Personally I hope that there is actually math that I can see, and use.

  4. I admit it, I listen to Art Bell sometimes, he's often good for a laugh. Wrong science and Psudoscience can be very entertaining, so I thought we could share a few laughs here with our favorites: 1)[size4] God doesn't play dice with the Universe![/size] -Einstein 2) Art Bell, insisting that he'd generated zeropoint energy through a 1000 foot antena generated zeropoint energy, because he noticed a voltage difference, browbeat phycisist Michu Kaku, into saying that the voltage difference might be zeopoint energy. (It's created by the earth's magnetic field, because the core is iron and spins.) 3) Metatron's posts on this site.

  5. In a proposed physically expanding universe, yesterday's square mile is smaller than today's, and today's square mile is smaller than tomorrow's, ad infinitum. Yesterday's sixty miles per hour is slower than today's sixty miles per hour, is slower than tomorrow's sixty miles per hour. A diagrammatic model of constant physical expansion can be represented by a pie chart shape < with the intersection of the two lines representing the smaller past (moment A) , while physical reality moves - expands - from left to right (----->A--->,B--->,C) - the middle of the pie chart representing larger moment B, with the widest portion as moment C (ad infinitum). The s…

  6. When you think about it. Animals are mentaly at the same stage they were a long long time ago, why is this???

  7. I want to experience something paranormal. Ideally, I would want to get abducted by space aliens, as long as I can be awake and view the whole thing, even at the price of them killing me in the end. But, I would also accept meeting deities and supernatural entities, or time-traveling or going to different dimensions. I would also like to become immortal and have god-like powers via supernatural means (since science can't do this as yet). If anyone knows how to do any of the above, please post a response so I can do it. Thanks.

    hello looking at the movie the matrix, was wondering if developement of such a system would be useful in prolonged space flight. a 8-12 month flight stuck in a conpartment the size of your average bathroom would be quite taxing on most people. but if there was a computer simulation running of normal life, or a nice vacation to a tropical island, where your mind could live while your body functions were slowed and itself stored. would that make mental stress easier to deal with. for you as the astronaut would merely remember going into the spaceship, than entering this computer world, only to wake up from it when you arrived at your destintion. strange …

    The short theory below is based on some of Einstein's thoughts along with a few other people and was developed when this idea was beat around in conversation one day. Could any of it be correct? lmao tell me what you think What if the past, present, and future were all happening at the same time? What if the subconscious and conscious mind were separated not only in the thought but also time perception? Would it be possible to know your history from beginning to end but not be able to access it? If time was occurring at the past, present, and future, it would be possible to think at all three levels. Ones subconscious state of mind never really perceives…

    A thought occurred to me the other day; We think of ourselves as the most intelligent animals on the planet. Why? Because we compare ourselves to all other animals and come to the conclusion that we display the greatest degree of intelligent behavior in response to our environment. But then I thought of something: if there were other animals on this planet who were more intelligent than us, would they make themselves available to us for comparison and judgement? If they were more intelligent than us, they would probably have the good sense to hide from us and they would probably have the ability to do so. I'm not sure how they'd hide (this is speculation after all…

    OK, this is in humor, but its an interesting thought: What if an underground movement of Nazis are promoting Goodwin's Law so they may move secretly under the radar? At what point would we say, OH NO, they really are Nazis - and to promote internet ettiquite we'd turned a blind eye until it was too late! This is really intended as a joke, but it is at the same time an interesting idea about self-censorship due to stimga (and it is a warranted stigma, considering how overused nazi references are.) Should a type of reference really be stigmatized based on what the reference is to, instead of whether the reference is fitting? In 99% of the cases, it shou…

    Why do you all think people want aliens to find us? i for one hope not considering how advanced they'd be just ot get here. Hell i bet they have passed our "backwater" planet full of "morons" as they might see it a million times, or worse, they are so advanced they see us as ants, and best case scenario they do what they do and ignore us. LOL when you look at an ant hill you usually probably keep walking by, i dont think you take the time to learn its language and offer it our advanced technology, if you're feeling honery you will "abduct" a few just for fun lol, or worst case scenario, you wil lfeel angry and decide to step on them or destroy the ant hill.

    Sometimes it is very difficult to spot the pseudoscience in household products, but there are a lot of them. Sometimes these products can cause physical injury to you or the people around you, but almost always they will injure your wallet. I'll use this thread to post pseudoscientific products, feel free to add your own products as well (I also recommend including a link to said item, a picture, and information regarding why the product is pseudoscience). That being said, here is the first product I can find: Ionic Breeze by Sharper Image, a silent air purifier. It claims to remove allergens and make the air inside your home fresh and clean. Consu…

    LOL ok I know its a funny title, but my brother who was pretty atheistic was arguing with me yesterday about the possibility of a god. After going back and forth for a bit, he said "What if god used all his energy etc to bring forth the universe and then expired because of it?" I then went into the whole M-theory super string multi universe talk but it still struck me as something I never thought of. Im sure some of you thought of it before but it seemed pretty freaky to me to imagine.

  19. This is speculation and I thought if I posted it here someone might let me know that it has been examined and rejected, or why it can’t be true because … I have read some of the forums and there are quite a few posters who are knowledgeable in the areas that I am speculating about, and I am hoping to find someone who is willing to be helpful. You can refer to me as a fringe character because I have no credentials, no formal training in science, and only internet exposure about physics and cosmology gained over the past two or three years. My imagination often gets me thinking about why can’t things be “such and such” a way, and if they were, wouldn’t “something t…

    So yeah, this will come off a lot like 5 billion other posts I've made along the same lines... To begin, I'm a transhumanist. I don't believe it will be long before purely biological humans are rendered obsolete by technology, specifically advancements in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and brain/computer interfaces. Many are anticipating the obsolescence of purely biological humans, and event known as The Singularity. I believe that human collective intelligence brings about structures similar to our own brains. I believe humans already represent a single, collective intelligence-powered organism (with transport systems, and metabolism, and a dig…

    This is just a thought, and I'm wondering if it makes sense to anyone else. Can scale be considered a 5th dimension? Before the concept of spacetime became mainstream, we thought of space as consisting of 3 interwoven dimensions and time as another separate dimension. But with spacetime, we end up thinking of time as a 4th dimension that is interwoven with the 3 spatial dimensions, meaning essentially that the only difference between space and time is how we experience them. Now the more I think about it, the more I see the same being applicable to scale - that is the dimension along which we place the size of things. So, for example, we say that planets, solar sy…
