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.

    Talking about ghosts I went fishing to a lake and when I finish fishing it was at dusk and while walking to my car I was so scared. Somebody advised me to go back there and take pictures and I did went back. The pictures are amazing with many anomalies in each of the pics. I am posting one of those pics for you to analize and I have named this pick "tomcat" since you can see the face of some animal in it. I circle a few of the anomalies in it and there are more you can point in your replies if you wish, Regards chajazo

    A dumb title question lol, but if we have been observed by a alien race for whatever reason I think they would show great intrest in our media culture and might even be fans to some of our entertainment from however long they have been watching we have been doin interesting things just for entertainment. I cant say anything about something I dont know (E.T) but I will state what I think and I cant see a advanced lifeform that wouldnt find Seinfeld funny lol. They might find it to be irrelevant but I dont think so because it is a major part of us and to study it would healp them learn more of us and I hope they are gettin clear free earth cable lol cause I aint lol.

    has anyone heard of the "Philadelphia experiment" where: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq21-1.htm i just saw a link to this from another site and a Google search on "Philadelphia Experiment" brings up plenty of very specific sites... so this doesnt look like a minor hoax, more a major hoax. i dont see how it could possibly be possible (esp. considering the technology of those days) so is this all just a big hoax? i assume so - but if so, why has it become seemingly almost legendary?

  4. Dear Community, this is a sincere and objective request in order to really try and find out what is going on in the world and hopefully others will then be able to agree upon the findings and results. I will supply some facts here, major historical dates, and I am asking for a scientific and mathematical approach to deducing the most accurate range of probabilities to contend that these happenings are simply not precipitated from some wild "theory" or extraordinary "coincidence". Is that clear enough for everyone to understand this request? I hope so. For the sake of this analysis, please ignore the noted reference to prophecy in the document as many minds…

  5. I am a person who believes death means death, the end of your life means u are no more and u only were. How can a being who was non-existent before birth exist after death for infinity, we live a short while and we die. I am not pleased by this but I cannot see a logical way I would exist as myself for a period of time so great numbers could not even measure it. The only hope I have in being completely wrong is I cant begin to explain why I am here and if that reason is something I am not understanding now, that would be fine. I am only one person with one view I would like to see what others think about this reality we will all face. Can it be logical to live forever?

"It is logical that Nature has a memory; one day this will be demonstrated.

    I saw this on Unsolved Mysteries. A woman claims to be someone else. An unrelated man claims to be someone else. They claim to have swapped souls with someone else. They change their names. Interestingly, when I saw it, I thought to myself this is what happened a few years back. I became someone else. *It may be attributed to my having more than 5 different names when I was a kid. Assume that this isn't a false claim. What psychological term or idea is this called if someone believes they're someone else? Has this happened to you?

    Alien-ated Youth They're the next step in human evolution. But they're just like everybody else. At first glance, they look like perfectly ordinary first-graders scribbling feverishly on the blackboard, but there is something striking about the boy's deep blue eyes that suggests a maturity well beyond his years. Jake's in advanced classes and already reading at a third-grade level. Jan is the quiet one, but has a presence that immediately draws attention. Her predilection is toward art, though at the moment she is choosing to write math equations on the board, erasing them as soon as she's completed each of her computations. Jake's mother is a teacher at this…

    I didn't really know where to put this post in the forum. I decided it probally mostly fitted in here. I have a box, inside is truely a vacumm does inside the box exist?? Obviously you can see inside the box let if there is nothing in the box can a nothingness be an existance. In affect if nothing is an existance then nothing can end because it can't be surrounded by nothing if nothing is an existance. I know this is terribly worded, but your thoughts please.

    One of the more weirdest theories in science, the hollow earth theory has to be my favorite. History: Now, I ask all of you, whether you think this theory is possible (and if so, how likely) in the realm of other worlds? I'm entirely sure that the Earth is very thick with stuff in the middle.

    Science is a system of arbitrary symbols and interactions dependent on a mind interacting with the universe. Imagine a mind A, having a completely different cognitive organization (memory, emotions, sense organs, thought processes) etc. This mind would interact with reality according to a completely different set of rules from our science, but as such it would always be completely coherent and valid for mind A. Thus a completely different and new science would be valid for mind A. Therefore changining mind structures you can create an infinite number of different sciences. This came up when analyzing what would happen if we started to modify how our neurons…

    Beware SETI (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence) researchers. Advanced civilizations may be undetectable. Such a civilization would learn how to modify their neural circuits, therefore changing all their mind structures. How information is organized, processed etc may be changed arbitrarily. This may create artificial emotions, sentiments mind states, superconsciousness etc. This internal universe may end up being mind boggling complex and interesting. The combinations are huge, each neuron may be a particle accelerator, chip, virtual reality etc. They would no longer communicate with the outside universe because they would be too busy exp…

    Kay, i'm putting this here because it's simply totally based on my curiosity, and has no practical application that I'll ever be part of, if any exist... so, if there was a pipeline that carried high pressure liquid oxygen, and it ruptured spewing the substance into the air (say it's about 88 degrees f. outside) would the liqid O2 revert to gas instantly, or would it remain liquid for a little while? If you were in the way and got splashed with it, would you be "wet" with it for a few seconds, or would it just be like getting hit with deadly-cold vapor? I guess to narrow it down, if you took a glass of liquid O2 out of your superfridge, for how long would it still…

  19. A contradictory item (or concept, or object ) is the only one that exists in the universe because it can deceive all logic and reasoning and as such does not depend on any reasoning to exist. If contradictory item A is such that A=3 and also A=17, and A exists and A also does not exist, then A is the most sure thing to exist because it can always escape any logic regarding its existence. Its existence does not depend on any logic any rule or any constraint, not even the one of being true or false. It is hard to reason with this item because all reasoning breaks down, but this proves that it is the most sure thing possible, since nothing can contradict it, as it actual…

  20. I found this article on the internet: This shows a real-time plot of the nested magnetic fields around my own head. The white lines of the overallur, the green the Hypothalamus plus Thalamus field, the red the Hippocampus plus Amygdala cycloid-shaped field (semi-circular), and the dumb-bell shaped blue is the Epyphisis (Pineal) and Hypophysis (Pituitary) combined fields. I wrote this algorithm myself with the help of Professor Penrose -- another unofficial favour -- to map the magnetic fields using both the SQUID sensor helmets and a special helmet designed by Dr. Z having Delta-T and Delta-Wye transforms, having specially designed magnetic coils …

    Hello All, I am not an educated man. I am not a man of great intellect, as you will witness within these intellectual machinations. I had a number of friends in my youth who were intellectuals, most going on to study in physics, calculus, engineering and what-have-you. Myself, I am a creative soul truth be told. Although, probably more from a philosophical angle, I did enjoy varied discussions on all manner of sciences with these friends. I am sure you have experienced these sorts of group discussions where you could start out discussing your new car and several hours later the subject has somehow morphed into black holes. Well.. I don't have any contact with thes…

    Is any memory real ? After experiencing something it becomes the past, afterwards the reality of that something that "happened" only remains in our memory of the "event" and some of the consequences. But could we invent fake memories and would they be just as real as real memories ? After all, they are non-tangible, only an image (sometimes dreamy) and only with some logical consequences which could be even due to other causes and not the events we "remember" and think have had consequences. If so, than we can "invent" any memory and assign it as "real" and it would be just as "real" as real memories.

    Evolutionists pronounce the name of one single creature in response. This is the fossil of a bird called Archæopteryx, one of the most widely-known so-called transitional forms among the very few that evolutionists still defend. Archæopteryx, the so-called ancestor of modern birds according to evolutionists, lived approximately 150 million years ago. The theory holds that some small dinosaurs, such as Velociraptors or Dromeosaurs, evolved by acquiring wings and then starting to fly. Thus, Archæopteryx is assumed to be a transitional form that branched off from its dinosaur ancestors and started to fly for the first time. SPECIAL LUNGS FOR BIRDS The anatomy of bird…

    The concept is not as abstract as it may seem. Science is developed in a loop of continuous interactions from Reality to the Sense organs(hand, eye) to the Mind and back again from Mind to Sense organ(hand) to Reality as this diagram Reality ®, Senses(S) and Mind(M) shows: R -> S -> M R <- S <- M Up until now M has always been fixed, but changing M everything changes. In this sense there would be a new and different science. We can imagine also wildly changing S by the way. An interesting thing is that we can imagine there being an intermediate "invisible" layer called a "Presentation" layer that presents the information from the previous layer in…
