Speculations

It's a word right? I don't seem to find anything relating to it on google right away. Hmm. Am I the only one that knows of this term?

I read a book a few years ago called the White Death which suggested that SIV\HIV may have jumped to people from a species of african green monkey which was used in the manufacture of an early polio vaccine and trialled on africans in a certain area. Early reports of HIV infection seemed to come from the population in that area. http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmart...ocuments/AIDS/ Interested to know what others think about this angle. I was also informed via email by a friend a number of years ago that he thought the HIV virus was manufactured by the US government ? I don't take this seriously and have found no other evidence to corroborate this idea.…

In Star Trek, the transporter is perhaps the most famous of all the technologies onboard the starship Enterprise. It's also the most absurd one of all because it involves separating crew members at the atomic level, converting them into energy, and the process is reversed at the appointed destination. In the excellent book entitled, "The Physics of Star Trek", author Lawrence Krauss explains why the transporter will never work in real life: "If you want to zap 10 to the 28 power of atoms, you have quite a challenge on your hands. Say, for example, that you simply want to turn all this material into pure energy. How much energy would result? Well, Einstein's formula E …

i think i know how a person could "feel" EM fields, this is only an idea. its known that we have some magnicite in our cells. witch is a magnetic substance, so, if a person had a larger amount of magnicite in their cells, it would have a greater reaction to any EM field probably causing a pressure on the Magnetic field that the magnicite genorates, being felt as just about any sensation depending of the EM signal. it could feel like tactile pressure, coolness, or heat, or a tingle in that area. unfortuneatly this could be a potential weapon, if you made a strong enough Magnetic field, you could make a person literaly explode. i get a tingle every time lightning st…

Why believe the theory of evolution? What is it's basis? In your own words please. I prefer if you do not provide lengthy links. If you wish to quote something from another source, please reprint just a brief portion here in this thread, and interpret it for me in your own words. Like just a paragraph or two versus pages and pages. Otherwise I may not understand it. Thank you.

One of the great concerns about the development of nanotechnology is the "grey goo scenario," wherein some flaw in a self-reproducing nanobot causes it to continue reproducing without restraint (much like cancer), effectively consuming everything it touches and converting them into more self-reproducing bots. Basically, it's a doomsday scenario. The goo grows exponentially and wipes out life on Earth. What occurs to me is that such a nanobot is basically a living thing. Or at least a virus, if it's inert when it's not reproducing. What also occurs to me is that such an "organism" would be subject to the laws of natural selection. Copies clearly can be made imperfectly…

If everything in time is destroyed by the movement of the plates in tectonics. everything going to the fire below and destroyed. We do not know what life was here before do we. Only what has survived...Any views on this?????

Hi everyone! I'm a rather agnostic person myself and although I wouldn't completely rule out the existence of something beyond our universe, I'm usually quite skeptical about miracle claims. But then there are some stories out there that really are quite astounding. What do you think about this issue? What do you make of miracles? For instance take this story: http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/amazing/healing_marlene_klepees110501.asp The woman in that article, Marlene Klepees, had been handicapped since her childhood. She suffered from cerebral palsy, a disease for which there exists no cure so far. Throughout the years her condition worsened until she …

If you ever read this message,go straight to the bold text beneath. "Chance rewards its patient labours" as they say is true ! I chanced a fact during research in June 2000 that has enabled me to discover the complete brain power (Mental Quantum) of the human species or race(s). And the Mental Quantum (MQ) discovery has also led me to invent an excellent mode of revealing any event of interest as whether it is of the past,present or future with a tremendous accuracy;by using binary(base 2) codes which is purely mathematical. In summary this format is far accurate to be compared with any astrological,spiritual or computer-simulation predictions.But the only and…

Not sure where to place this, sorry...... Anyone seen this?

Let's start with a quote from the Wikipedia article! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocosm So that's the idea... life plays some critical role in the structure of reality. I would like to think that life evolves into God and God re-creates the universe, but that's just me. Pretty wacky eh?

Everyone knows God is supposed to be "good" right? I was wondering, does is specifically state in the Bible (on, indeed anywhere) that the definition of "goodness" is morally benevolent, nice and kind, etc. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say God is "Good" in the sense that God is expertly competent? God said "Let there be Light" and there was light and God saw it and saw that is was sufficient, indeed more than adequate for his purposes... the light was good.

I am working on a site QEDQ and I'm looking for the most insane ideas in science, religion, and philosophy. What would be the top ten pseudosciences? So far I have TimeCube, Breatharians, and Phrenology

whats your imput? i have come to the conclusion that its scientifically impossible

This is one of those ideas you think of when you're drunk, and go 'that's it!' then wake up the next day and go...errr how the crap would that work, and why is it needed. Anyway, what I was thinking, if you have conservation of mass and energy, why not conservation of time, seeing as time has an intrinsic relationship with matter et.c Our arrow of time is perceived due to entropy...disorder, but what if there was a second arrow of time pulling back to create order. The asymmetry would be in the favour of our perception of time...but the second arrow creates a state so there isn't complete chaos. This is the kooky bit...consciousness is trying to attain order.…

I'm not sure whether this belong to this forum or the religion one, there's a bit of quantum physics here and there Prof Muhammad Mahdi from http://www.modernsciencefindsgod.com/ I am providing this information in hopes that some way can be found to use it in the battle against the atheistic, Darwinian concept of evolution which has destroyed so much of the original spiritual nature of human society, and help to bring the attention of the people of the world back to the increasingly obvious fact that God created this universe and everything in it. I was many years ago a university professor with a background in theoretical physics, but am now quite old and dying o…

No, not little green men. (Although....) UFO sightings fall into three basic categories. 1. Eyewitness, sometimes with grainy, out of focus pictures that prove absolutely nothing and add nothing to the debate. 2. Radar images. 3. Personal meetings with ETs. (Who seem genetically incapable of giving a straight answer to a simple question.) It was the Radar returns that interested me. Having spoken to many Radar operators both military and civillian over the years the only thing that can be concluded is that abnormal returns are not uncommon. These returns are of apparently solid objects travelling at enormous speeds. Some travel in straight lines, many do no…

Many of you may have heard of the relatively recent news about a British hacker, Gary McKinnon facing extradidation to a military tribunal in the US. For a few years he was able to snoop through computers at the department of defense, NASA, etc, etc, etc. He said he was searching for information about UFOs, secret technology as well as free energy technology! Even more shockingly he said he found what he was looking for, and I quote from a BBC interview he gave: "SK: Did you find what you were looking for? GM: Yes. SK: Tell us about it. GM: There was a group called the Disclosure Project. They published a book which had 400 expert witnesses ranging from c…

If we start with a hydrogen atom that is stationary, relative to our reference, the electron is nevertheless traveling with relativistic velocity. As such, the electron should be defining relativistic mass, distance and time due to its velocity, even though the atom, as whole, is stationary in our reference. So essentially the hydrogen atom is a combination of two distinct references. The electron is also hard to pin down in the space within the 1S orbital. This uncertainty of location is expressed by the Hiessenberg uncertainty principle. This principle is needed because there are two distinct reference affects, but we traditionally model the electron using only th…

This is something I have presented to the biologists, but they seem to be waiting for the chemists to OK it. So I went to the chemists, but they seem to be dragging their feet. Maybe they are waiting for the physicists. The premise is the hydrogen proton is the basis for life. It is even more findamental than DNA. From the perspective of the universe, the hydrogen proton or hydrogen is the main component of the universe. It is the most likely candidate for life. If we look at the water molecule, hydrogen is bonded to oxygen, with strong covalent bonds, among the strongest for a single bond. But in liquid water, the hydrogen proton is able to jump around from oxygen …

Is it possible to Know our own destiny.??? like when we have dreams or manic thoughts. If so it puts a new meaning to understanding where we are going????

Well its always worried me when the Earth might end due to global warming. I now think that the world is starting over. And the next 'World' you might say in 300 years will be blank and a ice age will happen. Its a weird thought I know but what if the world has done this before? and they were other people thinking this previously in the worlds history. Therefore why not plant a device deep under ground with a set timer for like 500 million years on the clock. Then errupt when the time has been matched. Its just weird how the whole earth could end and thats the whole exsistance of us gone. Maybe it's happened before. G-Wizz.

If man is in gods image. Whos image is the dinosaurs...????

I would like to present an interesting angle to ponder. The mathematics of special relativity does not make provisions for negative special relativity, since velocity squared is the same for both negative and positive velocity. However, consider this scenario. We are on a spaceship traveling a fraction of the speed of light to another galaxy. The special relativity affect is measureable but somewhat small. Because it is going to be a long trip that may take several generations, we decide to normalize our reference as the zero reference. The thinking is this is an easier way to collect data and when we return to the earth we can just translate it using the math. In es…
