Speculations
Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Well I had a pretty bad day today, so tonight I IMd our good friend and two-time Hall of Shamer Adam to ask him the current Planet-X situation. I needed a good laugh, and I was not disappointed. fafaIone: I WIN sacredcity3: win what ? sacredcity3: the immaturity contest sacredcity3: i give you the titanium award! sacredcity3: ((claps)) fafaIone: no way, you totally won the immaturity contest with your 5 year old intelligence (only way you could believe that stuff) fafaIone: hey so when is the planet getting here fafaIone: this month? fafaIone: i still don't see it sacredcity3: in 13 days sacredcity3: it should become partially visible fafaIone: :::looks…

Have you ever been laying in bed and your thinking all the stuff you have to do tomorrow and all the stuff you messed up on that day? It seems whenever I have a chance to sit down and think I get depressed. When I was younger and not as social I was sad a lot, not like really sad, just not satisfied with everything. Now I'm out all the time, I don't spend any time at home. I don't have anytime to think. When I do think I think about what I'm going to do with my friends the next day, and I'm always happy and excited. So, I was thinking that maybe thinking too much makes you stressed out adn depressed. Has anyone else thought about this??

Stonehenge Phase I: An Openpit Coalfield Model; The First Geologic Mining School Round about 5,000 years ago ancient South Wales coal miners transported approximately 800,000 pounds (241 cubic-metres; 8,510 cubic-feet) of South Wales "Carboniferous Limestone" (see Map below, No. 22 therein) to a South sloping hill on Salisbury Plain for the purpose of constructing an Openpit Coalfield Model of their roughly circular 'sacred boundary' South Wales Carboniferous Limestone outcrop (modeled Counterscarp Bank at Stonehenge), their roughly circular South Wales "Millstone Grit" outcrop (see Map below, No. 20 therein), and their roughly circular (centre basin) South Wales "Co…

In the following site I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges of brain and matter. This analysis points out how Quantum Electrodynamics proves that the brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial entity. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God. http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/fedeescienza/englishnf Let's discuss my arguments here.

I`m putting this in here as it involves backwards time travel and since that`s still in the realms of Science Fiction I think it`s best in here for now the year is 2090 and time travel is available. as an experiment a man is sent back to put a letter into a safe box and return to 2090. how far he goes back in time doesn`t really matter lets say he went back 10 years. it takes him 20 mins to put the letter in the safe box when he gets to 2080. the people in 2090 are at this safe box watching it`s contents for this letter to appear at the same time they send this guy back to drop the letter into it. now, will the letter appear in 20 mins time or the very inst…

I believe it would be theoreticly possibe to create a universe. If you have infinate processing power you could execute infinatly complex programs. What if it were possible to build a 'robotic computational entity' embryo that that has the ability to harvest space dust, gases and astral bodies. The entity would be able to evolve itself by producing processors, memory units and more robotic units to increase harvisting and manufacturing potential. The entity would have to be able to program itself using evolutional agorithms and it's purpose to write the most complex programs possible. Some problems for it to think about would be to write classes for atoms, …

The main idea of new theory of time-space is that time is a expression of change in motion distance and curvature. In a word, time is equivalent to space, and vice versa. According this new theory of time-space, there are three kinds of clock. Those are current clock, thing clock and Doppler clock. Every clock has its own second unit. Time-space is moving. Active and passive motion of time-space form a whole world of physics. The new theory gives us a definite answer to what the nature of wave, light,gravity,energy,passive inertia, active inertia, electricity, magnetism, special and general Doppler principle is.

Light wave is a effect of the vabration of atom's sphere time-space determined by the double-focus principle. Light wave is a serial time-space spherical wave. light wave carries curvature and kinetic energy, but not mass.Suppossition that light wave transfers a equivalent mass is wrong. So, the mass-energy formula created by Einstein is also wrong. Energy is equivalent to the change in the curvature of time-space.

Just some stuff I've been pondering. My understanding of the big bang is a nearly infinite amount of energy was injected into our empty universe through a near infinitely small point. Through tests today this energy has indications it can effect our universe at speeds faster than light and seems to have the ability to store massive amounts of data relative to time. If I had these properties to work with to build a universe I would keep it simple and never let the initial big bang "particle" expand but have it just stay small and fast. If it travelled our present universe touching every point over and over at near infinite speed following a repeating incremental patt…

Ok, here's a story. I travel back in time with a wireless camera hooked up to me. My friend is monitoring me with the camera from a computer. I go back 20 minutes to the past to San Francisco, a 20 minute walk from my house. a) What would the camera see? b) Would the camera even work? c) Can you even go back in time? d) Would time be skewed?

people babble how bible is not real, it is,except no god, just aliens visiting earth in ancient times, i'l prove this later. So heres the arc its been found in 60s researched in 80s carbon dated and analyzed, officially declared as the arc of noah. How did you not know of this ? this information was supressed in great many countries especially u.s. for reasons of controversey panic etc. How did it happen, GOD ? no, the aliens warned noah of upcoming poleshift which happend 3600 years. (nope not the great asteroid, this happend couple thousand years ago] You still think it's a hoax, nope it's there you can go and analyze it yourself if they let you, …

Is there gravity in the process of falling body? The answer is not. Galileo demonstrated that the acceleration of falling body is not concerned with mass, volume and chemical elements. This is Galileo phenomenon. Newton and Einstein attempted to use their theory, gravity law or general relativity to explain Galileo phenomenon, but it is not perfect. All physics know this. All physics also know that many phenomena can not clarified by Newton’s gravity law. For example, Newton’s law of gravity can only perfectly explain why tides occur on the side nearest to it, but not on the other side. In fact, there is not necessary relation between the phenomenon of fal…

The formation of wave is determined by The double-focus principle. In the spherical time-space, there are two focuses according to the duality principle of curvature. One is real focus caused by contraction motion of time-space. A nother is virtual focus decided by expansion motion of time-space. Two focuses overlap and interplay each other, which causes a serial vabration of time-space. So, wave is born by it. This is just theSo-called double-focus principle. Reference:THING AND ITS LAW (ISBN 1-58939-525-5), chapter 2: timedistance and timecurvature (the active and passive motion of time-space) and chapter 5: natural force(the durality of time-space and ene…

When someone thinks of a solution that works with what they already know, does it cause it to be true? Does thought shape the universe? Or is this just a stupid idea :bs: ? What do you think?

Bored of the usual flat space picture? Well I am. This is how I believe that gravity works. We live in a liquid of strings...How hard to imagine? Well it is hard to imagine. My liquid is not visible, but its forces are creating gravity. It vibrates causing radiation in all directions. The peaks of this radiation push atoms outwards away from the peaks like surfers. The atoms gather together where the vibrations lessen. The atoms then pinch the liquid string like a finger pressed against a guitar string. Our planet is wrapped around the strings like a pearl, and it is trapping the vibrations, and stopping them. This causes things to gather here. Photons travel through the …

Since we can record brain activity with EEG and some day hope to interpret thoughts by specific patterns then it seems there is an external effect to thought electrically. All EM effects should be eternal since they are broadcast into space at light speed. Shouldn't some kind of encrypted form of every thought then be broadcast into space? Just aman
