Speculations

I got this in my email this morning, thought it was cute and want to share it with you guys N gals...... ********** Subject: Mid-term in Chemistry The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington Chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.…

EVIDENCE FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE LIGHT WAVES The ‘expansion of the light waves has real evidence for its support. Examples: The magnetic field patterns where the central portion is expanded by an ‘intrinsic force’ between the poles (similar monopoles?). This is also true of the electric field between its charges (by similar virtual charges mutual repulsion). The electric motor makes use of these intrinsic forces within the EM fields to generate the power for its use. The photons are primarily a compressed congregate of 'negatively charged virtual particles' that result from the magnetic pulses of radiation by the electron transitions. These magnetic puls…

CAUSE OF CMBR The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is portrayed as the clincher evidence to prove the credibility of the Big Bang Universe. The CMBR is portrayed as a perfect black body radiation curve. However, here I will provide a hypothesis that refutes the link between the CMBR and the BB. On page 266 of the Michael Zeilik book entitled ASTRONOMY, The Evolving Universe, sixth edition, is an illustration (figure 13.6) of the solar radiation curve as viewed outside our atmosphere in comparison to a black body radiation curve. I tried to locate a website with this illustration but cannot find one. Some others may have more luck. Notice that at the …

I wasn't sure if this should go in metaphysics, philosophy, or here. I chose here, because I am trying to speculate and understand more, from a scientific/physics friendly standpoint, the nature of consciousness and specifically potentially transference and duplication of an instance of conscious awareness. Some of the ideas that have been kicked around in other threads include the idea of achieving effective immortality by transferring yourself to a machine in a "Ghost in the Shell" fashion. While I think with the right technology you can tranfer a person's personality completely to a synthetic system, I am skeptical that the "consciousness" would be able to …

I had a few striking ideas hit my mind that led to putting together a massive puzzle. I know what you are thinking, that many amatures have said this kind of thing before aswell as probably PHD persons aswell. The catch is, I did not change any of equations that einstien has written or any of the scientist for that matter as far as I know. I beleive I have just only interpreted everything with more of on earth type of reality lookout. I beleive that there is 2 interpreations of 0. I think it can be negative and positive. now if you could use those mathimatical equations to project reality on a computer screen, a simple negative and positive out look of numbers would cau…

A thought experiment: Time is a tube and you are in the tube. You feel motivated to get out of the tube and you don't want to retrace your steps or move in circles. As luck would have it you have a well chewed wad of gum and a good sized ball of string. You use the gum to "stick the string to the wall" and march on down the tube till it seems to split in two. Still wanting to get the hell out of there, you figure it might pay to be consistent instead of wandering aimlessly, so if you choose left, you keep on choosing left and if you don't "cross your own string" am I right in surmising that you are moving in an outward spiral, and chosen the most likely way to get ou…

Will creationist attack geology and astronomy next? What is next for the creationist after the discredit Evolution? Geology severly contradicts the bible so will it have to go? Astronomy shreds the bibles notions of time and space so is it history? Physics replaced by metaphysics" Biology with spiritology?

Hi everyone. I’m new here, even so wanted to share some information/thoughts regarding electrolysis of H2O to produce Fuel, i.e. Oxygen and Hydrogen. I have been reading some interesting articles on Browns Gas (which is the gas produced by Splitting H2O through electrolysis). http://www.hydrogen-boost.com http://www.savefuel.ca/ (I take the results/claims from these tests with a pinch of Salt) although i am sure there is something in it! Main purpose of my interest is Bourne through wanting to save money and to increase efficiency of my car. I have ordered a Browns Gas generator for my car which I intend to install and experiment with shortly. I u…

Inspired/Deranged by a different thread on here, just for a bit of fun, lets try and figure out if a Steam Powered Aeroplane could actualy be made to work! is it feasible (feezerble) at all? using todays materials and alot of maths and physics, COULD a steam engine be used to power an airplane?????? although this is just an excersize in Science Folly and meant as a bit of fun, I`de respect genuine Science applied here and no silly troll answers. edit: I`ll also add that I for one think it Would be possible!

note: don't expect to find any science in here. As the galaxies are moving apart, intergalatic travel is becoming harder everyday. From my understanding, the universal expansion is accellerating. Of course so are our space ships. Now if the universe is accellerating faster than our space ships, then we'll never catch up but if our space ships are getting faster, faster then we might. What do you think?

I have no idea if this is ludicrous or not - I don't know anything about the underlying science. I am curious, about the ability to passively detect sound through a vacuum like space through the aid of specific devices. In short, if you had a metal module in space, with mechanical elements clanking away within it, and it is radiating infra-red heat, could the disturbances and minute vibrations that the sound waves were causing in the metal structure of the module be detected remotely with correct sensory equipment to detect the fluxuations via the light radiation and reproduce the sounds through speakers?

i know this is star treky, but its probably possible. think of two north magnets, push them together than let go and they will fly apart, would the same happen if you compress a bunch of electrons in a sphere, than release them. thatd take alot of power tho, wouldnt it.

Okay, this meme comes to us from a guy who was trying to argue to me that infinite regression is the only logically consistent way the universe could possibly exist. He kept trying to assert that he was using "logic" when really the greatest logic he could muster was an argument from incredulity. So, here you go, here's the meme he was trying to spread regarding dinosaurs, apparently completely unaware of how surface area and volume scale with different exponents in relation to size, and how these properties affect body composition. By his logic, humans can't exist (within the framework of Newtonian mechanics), because if we scaled a mosquito to human size, its legs…

Any geologists here mind to explain me briefly about this theory? http://www.hollowearththeory.com/ I ran across it and don't know this theory is recognized and has scientific merit or not. The link says about "The Hollow Earth Theory" with the serious scientific evidence supporting the theory that planets are naturally hollow. I intended to post in geology forum, but couldn't find, plus I am afraid it's not a current known geological theory as I don't know about this field...so i decided to post under speculation and hopefully the mod would be kind to move to wherever it belongs to. Thanks

I would like to present some strong circumstantial evidence that suggests that the earth has a low level fusion core. If we look at weather, it is expressed via the clockwise spin of high pressure circulations and the counter clockwise spin of low pressure circulations. The high pressure circulations can be reasonably equated to the rotation of the earth, while the low pressure circulations go opposite. The opposite spin allows the two weather circulation to be spin additive, thereby maximizing the speed at which potential is removed from the atmosphere. If low and high pressure both had the same spin, the pressure difference between high and low would still cause th…

what is up with the bermuda triangle aka devils triangle? why do ships, planes and people disappear? there have bein several theories, but none of them have bein prooven. id say the two most popular theories are, wormholes are spawning there and have caught onto the earths EM field. or its all part of a US government consperincy, reasurching advanced teleportation. what are your ideas about it?

QUESTION: I was wondering... We all know the harzardous potential of a Mega-Tsunami, http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2000/mega_tsunami.shtml the tsunami that carries a wave big enough to go 20km in land of the Eastern coast of America.... Well, I was wondering...since its displacement of water is so huge, is there a possibility that it can change or just temporarily disrupt our North Atlantic Current? The current that supposedly brings warm atmosphere up from the equator. I have a feeling it won't because tsunamis don't really affect our Earth's Coriolis effect (or do they?) but I am not sure. Please answer, thank you

Could the brain ever develop modem-like qualities, such as you would see in a mobile phone or some such - being an electrical device that can communicate with other devices (other brains) without needing a direct physical connection? Could this be a reasonable explanation of telelpathy?

This is a kind of "theory" I made up, if for nothing more than a science fiction story. Keep in mind that this "theory" I show to you is somewhat incomplete and open to new concepts, and I also wrote it in only a couple of hours. Well, keep an open mind and enjoy. If there are any concepts you feel that I am missing, feel free to share them. First of all, one thing the string theory suggests is that the universe is sort of "donut shaped", and worm holes could be used as a shortcut to the other side of this curved universe. But imagine that these worm holes could also send us to another completely different universe. Ponder that and I'll get back to it. Now, here…

When and how will He come back? http://www.jesuswillreturn.com/s1_3.html

If we look at the equations of special relativity that only things that vary between references is mass, distance and time. While the laws of physics will be the same in all references. To put this in perspective, if one conducted physics experiments on a relativistic spaceship they would reach the same results as someone performing the same experiments on the earth. If after a hard days of experiments, one decided to trim their fingernails and exjected them from the spaceship, if these small protein fragments hit the earth, they would pack the punch of something from a supercollider. In spite of all the particles being so energetic within the spaceship, the three va…

Eruheru showed me this article, claiming that Quantum thoery has been disproven due to some fuel cell that produces enourmous amounts of power... http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/06/1923218&tid=232&tid=14 I can't figure out if it's real or what the hell is going on.

http://paleoshilling.nl/whatsnew.html Looks too good to be true for my tastes, but Oh, what if?????

Imagine an experiment: Get 20-or-so people in a room and ask them all to concentrate on what side a rolled dice will land on (ie: six). Roll the dice a couple of dozen times and record the frequency of the resulting number as they come up. Does the number 6 come up with an average of 1/6 times, or more than that...?
