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.

  1. 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!

  4. 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.

  8. 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…

  12. 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…

    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…

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...?

    I once seen on Star Trek: TNG, actually just on Friday, where there is a reality where everything happens, let me explain what I mean. If I was going to get married today, there is a reality where I get married and one where I don't, or if I am supposed to get shot if I go to the bank today, one reality where I go to the bank and die and one where I don't. So basically there is a place where every choice happens, does anyone here believe this, or care to comment I should say?

    http://www.rense.com/general10/chemtrailcrisis.htm It is no secret that America's military-industrial megalith is secretly altering earth's atmosphere in frightening ways. Huge numbers of aircraft are now kept aloft to create "clouds" with ultra-tiny, ionized metallic particles. HAARP-generated microwave pulses are continually used to heat and agitate the ionosphere. Synthetically-manufactured chem-clouds desiccate the air and very effectively block the sun. The principles of this grotesque aerosol project are spelled out in a number of U.S patents. In 1974, persons associated with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) obtained patent US3813875 f…

  22. (Compare with http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/1/ ) FALSITY IS TRUTH The postulate of constancy of the speed of light is false (A. Einstein, "Relativity", Chapter 22), but the theory of relativity is true. Carnot's premise (heat is an indestructible substance) is false, but its corollary (the second law of thermodynamics) is true. OBSCURITY IS POWER C. Truesdell: « Clausius' verbal statement of the second law makes no sense....

    We all know what the graviton orbital looks like in the third dimension, a swirling torus around the nucleus but in the fourth dimension you have to imagine that the earth is flattened into a zero-mass plate. Now it is very important that we realize stellar bodies have no mass in the fourth-D because of what I will explain later. There is an article in Wired magazine about semi-conductor pseudo-atom formation. The semi-conductor is shaped like the prongs of a fork all pointing into a central location spaced a few atoms apart. This allows the formation of a specific number of electrons to form together in a pseudo-atom without a nucleus. Now, with the absence of …

    I would like to present a new model for the brain. If we look at evolution the highest animals have the most cerebral matter. This is the brain matter at the highest potential. This can be deduced from the branching structures of neurons. The fine branches imply higher curvature and therefore higher surface tension. This surface tension is indirectly related to their surface potential. The core of the brain at the top of the brain stem is much older in the evolutionary sense and represents brain matter at a lower potential. Between the brain's core another potential exist; with the body. For example, if andreniline is release into the body, the potential between the …
