Speculations

I've got an Idea and I would like somebody to help me bring it along. I've got no science backgroud so i'll try my best. Would it be possible to build a strong and tall enough wind turbine to reach the Jetstream? If not how about a stationary ship or something similar to it. Think of the possblitys. Do the the high speed of Jet streams, enormous amounts of pwer could be created. If not how's this. My idea is a Nova Sphere. In which the plan is to totaly surround a star inside a structure in order to harness all power comming from it? Maybe the metal or other substance used to surround it could be mixed with pure carbon and ion particles? Would any of…

I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about bessie, the lake monster in Lake Erie. Do you think it exists? Why or why not? Personally, I don't see how a serpent that is 30 to 40 feet in length could get into Lake Erie. It would have had to come from the ocean, but the only way you can get to Lake Erie from the ocean is by going upstream, through a man-made river, and over many large waterfalls. If bessie does exist, it would have had to get there a different way which I fail to recognise. Last, there is no physical evidence that I am aware of. On the other hand, there have been numerous sightings, including a report of bessie capsising a boat and kill…

If there's anything remotely resembling a conspiracy theory which I, as a devout skeptic, believe, this is the one. Why would I believe that a rock star with persistent depression, mental instability, and a heroin problem was murdered when he is officially recognized to have committed suicide? The answer comes from my interpretation of the available evidence. Unfortunately, much of the interpretation requires an extensive medical background to be done properly, and that is something I sorely lack. So, I'm afraid I'm going to take the crazy conspiracy theorist approach here and throw up a bunch of questions. But rather than simply throwing the questions out t…

Let me first start by saying my interest in physics is that of a lay person. I have no formal training beyond 1st semester undergraduate Physics. That being said, physics is something that I have been interested in ever since I was a child, and I take every opportunity to read about it in books written specifically for the lay person to understand. I think I have a fairly good understanding of the major areas of research in modern theoretical/particle physics, or at least as good of an understanding as one can have without an in depth knowledge of the mathematics involved. I would also like to say that I do not think that I've figured it all out and have some super duper…

What the average person like myself finds when studying the UFO phenomenon is a lot of rumors, a lot of speculation, and even more garbage. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure, something IS going on. Possibilities are endless, and many are likely, but it's a strong fact that there is an unidentified intelligent presence in our skies and in our space. The massive amount of witness testimony alone should be enough to no longer ignore this issue. Irrational skeptical arguments can no longer be tolerated, for people are generally not stupid, and I am not stupid, we are seeing these things... they are real. The question is no longer 'Are they here?', but is 'Why are …

hello people always talk about how we will develope computers that think like humans. my conjecture would be will they really think like us, or will they develope their own form of logic and reasoning. there could be neural nets developed to imitate human brain patterns but as computers are not organic, could a thinking computers devise their own means to use and\or create a neural network. as almost a seperate type of non-organic life could they begin to form their own systems of logic and reasoning totally unrelated to the way humans think. at some point would a programmers job not be to program a computer how to think, but instead try to find ways to inte…

For a long time now I've heard stories about a peculiar sound emanating from a mysterious deep-water source that marine scientists confidantly believe to be produced by a very large organism that they're calling "Bloop". Apparently some years back a series of sounds of very low frequency of a strength that suggests a creature much larger than a whale were recorded by submarines at a certain depth where sounds carry particularly far. I haven't been able to find anything but laymen articles, recordings of the sound, and a short reference in a documentary about whales, (nothing that I'd consider official), but what I've heard doesn't sound like some Big-Foot or Nessi…

I think I'm way closer next time, so here we go. Wild speculation ahead! The universe is drawn towards self-completion (eschaton) It self-completes by solving the halting problem. It solves the halting problem by terminating. There are no non-terminating algorithms because all seemingly non-termingating algorithms exist within a single terminating algorithm, the universe. In the end, there is only one algorithm, the universe, and its inevitable outcome is to choose to self-terminate and thus self-complete. I say "it". What is "it"? It is the collective action of all the consciousness within the universe. Consciousness is what will actually solve the hal…

This is a multiple choice question about animals that appeared on my last AP Bio test. Which of the following is not true about animals? A. They constitute millions of species B. They are the most abundant living things C. they are some of the first organisms on the earth D. they are very diverse in nature E. They are formed in every conceivable habitat. Pick what you think is the correct answer and justify it with your reasoning.

MY VERSION OF A SSU It is infinitely old. There was no beginning or end. However, the formed structures like galaxies, stars and photons, go through a recycling process. The matter content itself, does not because it complies to the 'Laws of Conservation of Matter and Energy’. It would also comply with the other conservation laws. It compliers with all the problems the current ‘big bang universe’ does not explain like the Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment that refutes the existence of a spatial ether as a carrier of the light waves. It portrays space is flat. No expansion or contraction. Hence no need for General Relativity. The redshift of the …

Stairway to Heaven played backwards hints at direct satanic lyrics...no way. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/stairway.php Can anyone else say "tampered with?" I happen to like that song.

I've never been so afraid of people with such preposterous beliefs that have been brainwashed into seeing nothing but the church of scientology. It offends me as a scientist, and, if i had faith im sure it would offend me as a practicer of a religion with a deity.

hello i have extensive psychedelic experience which has given me great and vast enormous insights into the true nature of the universe itself. my research has been very difficult and taken many many years to compile, but now i think i am ready to share my theory with the rest of the world. my problem is i have put a lot of work into this theory and i am worried that as soon as i publish it someone else is going to copy the whole thing and claim it is they're own and take all the credit that really should go to me for coming up with the theory. but i think my theory explains everything including GRAVITY and LIGHT and the structure of CRYSTALS which makes it more advance…

I just watched a stupid tv show on Discovery about the possibility that we are being controlled by a human-alien hibrid race. This cracked me up. There was no evidence, and was mostly based on imagination IMO. The man who came up with this said George Bush, the queen of England, and some others are descended from these creatures. He also says there is evidence that they communicate with eachother using everyday objects. For example, the all seeing eye on the top of the pyramid on the United States dollar bill symbolizes that this race of hybrids see over us, and know more than us. What do you think of this?

Has anyone heard of quantum consciousness? Here's a website that describes it: http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/ Any thoughts/comments? How close is this to being "real science"?

Hi all, i was wondering, does soil contain the correct minerals, vitamins and elements to create human flesh? Thanks loads, Tash

I have an idea of how to eliminate some of the greenhouse gases; burrying it. We could somehow suck large portions of air into a filter that filters out non-greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases will then be compressed greatly for easy storage underground. In a short period of time, the warming should decrease. Above the storage area, parks, buildings, etc. could be made. In my opinion, it's excelent use of land, and will definetly help the economy by providing jobs. Engineers will be needed, along with people to build the storage areas and for maintainance. Maybe, in the future, there could even be a way to convert the gases into clean, cheap energy. Whay …

I do not have a scientific background but all the same I have a question that I think there is no straight forward answers too . Why are we so dominant on this planet? Nothing living even comes close .From my knowledge of the history of earth nothing has ever been so far and above the rest in terms of intelligence and adaptation to different environments in such a brief existence on our planet than the human race . I talking about everything we have achieved ,how we have moulded the planet as tool makers, our views on religion, science our seriously complex social structures our rapid mental development . The world we have built today is simply amazing from a evoluti…

check this good video. its 13 minutes, James Randi is well known for exposing phychics. Oh how face they are. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3396869920557391806&q=james+randi

Do you think bigfoot (sasquatch, yetti, yowie, you know what I'm talking about) exists? Why or why not? Post your thoughts on bigfoot here! As for me, I think he's real. There may not be any proof of him, but there is no proof that he doesn't exist. Evidence of bigfoot's existence: The Patterson Film is possibly the strongest piece of evidence. It clearly demonstrates a large, ape-like creature. Many people believe it is a fake, but there is no proof of that. There are just too many witnesses. So there must be something out there. Many people have taken audio and video recordings, along with many photos. Sure, it's easy to see that many of them are fa…

I had a lousy day today. I woke up and hopped in my car to drive to work, only to discover that my battery was dead. I popped the hood of my car to stare at the immense amount of order, design, and technical sophistication that the engine represented, and how useless it all was with a dead battery. So I hopped on my bike and rode to work. As I was nearing the end of my journey, my workplace in sight at the top of the hill before me, I swerved to avoid a car who clearly saw me as merely an obstacle. In the process, my jeans, my favorite pair of jeans, went over the top of the sprocket and were shreadded. I tried to continue riding, only to find my jeans caught in the s…

COULD TIME TRAVEL TRULY BE POSSIBLE TODAY? INDEED A GOOD QUESTION AND A VERY COMPLEX QUESTION INDEED. EQUATIONS AND FORMULAS I HAVE DISCOVERED MAY BE THE ANSWER AND THAT IF THESE EQUATIONS ARE REAL MAY PRODUCE TIME TRAVEL UP TO AND BEYOND 20,000 YEARS INTO THE PAST AND INTO THE FUTURE USING AN ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH ABOUT 3000 MILES ABOVE ITS SURFACE. WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED IS THAT LIGHT SPEED WILL PRODUCE TIME TRAVEL BUT IS AN UNOBTAINABLE SPEED AND INPRACTICAL FOR USE TODAY AND THAT SPEEDS MUCH LOWER THAN THE 186,000 MPS UNDERSTOOD TODAY AS THE SPEED OF LIGHT WILL PRODUCE TIME TRAVEL AQND THAT SPEEDS OF ONLY 6000 MPH MAY BE USED TO SUCCEED AT TIME TRAVEL EITHER WITHIN T…

Hello The truth about aliens. 1) are there any - yes 2) are they intelligent - yes. Their not wanting to have anything to do with us proves it. 3) did they make contact - yes. they’ve spoken to who they wanted to, they’re advanced beings you know, took them all of about 20 seconds to figure out who’s who and what’s what on planet earth. Sorry but if you did not receive the green crystal with the shiny silver tassel your out of luck. 4) is the government covering up about ufo’s - yes. however this is at the request of the aliens. Read item 2 for reason. 5) why are they here - to make sure we don’t get out there. Being that they are peaceful bein…
