Speculations

Man is different from other life on this planet, is it possible that man is only part from this planet??????

There is an old narrow road between my neighborhood and the main road. The road is surrounded by trees, and has many curves. The road is about 2 miles long, and is very dark at night because there are no houses around until you enter the neighborhood. Anyway, there are many legends and myths about the road. Different people have claimed that the road is haunted. Lots of people talk about a mysterious fog that appears on certain nights, and some people have even claimed to have seen ghosts. A school teacher who lives in my neighborhood claims that she saw a ghost on that road. She said she was driving home late one night, and a very thick layer of fog suddenly…

If 1000w is enough power to generate 170 litres/hour of hydrogen from saline water and the UK has a power production capacity of 77.4GW how quickly could we blow the world up? Sure it would be a lot easier to release our arsenal of warheads but thats boring. I reckon if we put the wires in the channel near france, within the hour we'd have something like 131 580 000 000 litres of hydrogen to play with. How much explosive power is this? Standby buttons alone probably account for enough to wipe out london.

I'm having a hard time understanding the multiverse theory. I thought I read some time ago, that the universe as we know it is like two plates moving away from each other, or expanding, set in motion by the big bang...and that they eventually come back together, singularity, and then big bang again..and so on. Now when I look up information on it, I see no mention of that part. Just dimensions. I'm wondering if this "expansion" and eventual "collapse" happen at different momentums, creating differences in physics and time. I would think the speed at which the plates move apart and come back together would have an impact on the vacuum within it. Is that tru…

If a nonhuman intelligence were to domesticate people would they make good pets? It seems that less intelligent animals fish dogs and cats make much better pets than more intelligent animals like parrots and monkeys. It seems that more intelligent animals have more elaborate needs and capacity for trouble.

A short while ago, in responding to another thread, I constructed a spacetime diagram and formula for the radial Doppler shift of a superluminal object. This v > c diagram mirrors two similar but entirely conventional v < c diagrams found in the text ‘Introducing Einstein’s Relativity’ by Ray D’Inverno. This diagram differs from that required for v < c in that here the photon reflected at event P crosses the t axis a period T before the path of the second inertial frame, rather than after it. The result is the inverse of the usual term for v in terms of k, and the value for k will be real only if |v| > 1, as required. How does this rela…

Hello What does Esp = Hsp mean? Simply is what some people take for extra sensory perseption actually hyper sensory perception. People are born with different abilities of sight or hearing, or even emotional perception. But usually within a range. But what if the person has heighten senses, as an example better hearing or a broader spectrum of sight than is normally found. Not extra senses, but just more of that sense than the top of the normal range. such as they would heard sounds others could not, sounds that they would react to long before you or I would with normal hearing. To others it would appear as though they are somehow knowing a…

As much as I would like to believe this is true, I call bullshit: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/09/05/telepathy.reut/index.html?section=cnn_topstories

I can't remember whether I harvested this link from these forums or elsewhere, but no matter. Here it is again. http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0134.html?printable=1 And the introductory paragraph What this article really got me wondering about was the nature of a so-called software based human, and it's on this aspect that I would like to focus. For myself, and based on no research at all, I find the idea that we will reach a sudden and dramatic turning point to be dubious at best, melodramatic at worst. I can think of no sudden and dramatic turning points in human history where the world's population was fundamentally different, pyschological…

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4848668803639628771&sourceid=zeitgeist That's right folks... mankind was the first simian, existing long before any of the others, and they've found all sorts of fossil evidence proving that man existed over 100 million years ago! EDIT: removed remark, Bascule wanting this to be posted in pseudoscience

Everything you've ever heard about AIDS is a lie!

This is one of the most stupid and obnoxious claims of 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Watch this video. It was uploaded by a conspiracy theorist: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4389019269529461803 I guess I should briefly point out how crookedly the building collapses on top. This certainly doesn't look anything like any controlled demolition I've ever seen: But all that aside: Look at the debris from the collapse. It's falling much, much faster than the rate at which the building collapses. (the video provides a much better illustration) And there you have it... simple as that.

Irish company Steorn has issued a challenge to physicists. They make three claims; 1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%. 2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts. 3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature). I can't seem to find much about them on the web, but they seem very sure of themselves. Do any of our English members know anything about them? As the company is a cosponsor of awards with the Dublin Institute of Technology, it doesn't look like they are w…

A superorganism to be precise. Just like the way all individual ants working as a single unit can be described as superorganism, the earth is too Lets call this organism Gaia, just for the fun of it. Think about it, the earth is self-regulating in a homeostatic feedback loop (<-- I can just see bascule getting all hot and bothered right now ), and even with some degree of will and complex intelligence. For instance: The mean temperature of the earth, even before people had the capacity to affect the climate, has been relatively constant, when it should be unintelligently drifting between extremes of hot and cold every year. Theres no real necessary reason why…

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.

Behold, while all you """scientists""" are trying to use experimentation to figure out the true nature of quantum mechanics, this guy has figured everything out himself without your pesky "scientific method"! http://www.geocities.com/quantum_reality2003/instantaneous_communication.htm

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.

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…

When you think about it. Animals are mentaly at the same stage they were a long long time ago, why is this??? It is strange that the human brain has developed in leaps and bounds, does anyone think that Animals could progress or are they that different, is it that we have a different type of brain, if so how did that happen. confussed here?? :confused:

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 …

Being Human has caused us a lot of problems. Our backs are weaker we also have a problem with Varicose veins and this is a problem with humans only..So why was this an advantage at the time we started walking upright, apart from seeing further.......

Does anyone knows how does DNA of the jeely fish PROMOTES hulkification ??
