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.

I know I will get bombarded by tons of people, get yelled at, and get defamed, but please note that I post this based on my speculation with good faith. To begin with about consciousness, you will have to take note of a few things, the body is consisted of neurons and electrical signals, sure there are other things like muscle, but muscle cannot think for you. It goes down to neurons and electrical signals, you will ask yourself, does your consciousness exist in the neurons, or does it exist in the electrical signals? The answer is, since the electrical signal/current flows through our body, but the consciousness is only in the brain, not anywhere else. The electrica…

I do not know if this post belongs in Speculations, but it matched the reason I write this now. I was watching "Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse" right now, for no reason at all, and it mentioned this massive "collider" device that could bring information, matter, and energy through different parallel universes. (By parallel universes, I mean the multiverse theory, where when you make a choice an alternate dimension is created housing the consequences and results of the other choice). I began to think about the implications of such a device; when the antagonist (the one who leads the project for the "collider") came up with the idea of the reactor, there had to be a …

Now when we turn on a computer, it provides this hardware architecture with electricity so we can play games and listen to music on it. The brain is a bit similar to a computer and that the thalamus could be the one generating this main hardware architecture with electrical signal in the way of a waveform. The problem is I do not see how the consciousness arise from this waveform because it is just a wave and I sure think the computer is not conscious being something capable of generating an identical waveform through its hardware architecture(or any circuits with an output Q in that matter). So how does the consciousness arise from within the thalamus? Please let me know…

Hello, I got the following idea from the observartion of a gravity well, like this one: https://youtu.be/mgZ84NAW0zU I'd like to know the opinion of a physicist about this. This is a naive, crazy, intuitive, outrageous new perspective on gravity and possibly quantum gravity. It's an out-of-the-box thinking experiment. It's the kind of thing that may be overlooked by highly specialized scientists. Please, go past the first assertion. Is this thing even mathematically viable? Here it goes: 1.There's no such thing as a gravitational interaction between masses composed of "normal" matter . Rather, each mass composed of normal matter in o…

These "artifacts" have been found in coal seams and other places and seem to suggest a civilization well before humans on this planet. Here is an example. https://www.booksfact.com/archeology/300-million-years-old-cast-iron-cup-oklahoma.html Obviously pseudo science aficionados are attracted to these objects but I have an odd piece of coal I've been carrying around from place to place for many years. Ita rectangle about 16" long and 8" wide. The proportions are so close to perfect no diciations from being made of square angles can be distinguished, the edges are rounded off some but the faces are spot on for a man object but it's made of coal and I found it …

I'm looking for critiques and potentially someone reputable that's capable of doing the math to make it publishable. I'm not a physicist but have reason to believe that I'm correct.

We got black holes from Relativity; it was Carl Schwarzschild’s solutions of Relativity that gave us black holes. Let’s step back from what Relativity says for a moment to recognize what Relativity is. Einstein’s Relativity was born of Galileo’s Relativity (better articulated by Newton… -that there are no privileged inertial frames of reference) mixed with the “constancy of light speed” (-that all observers measure light to move at the same speed irrespective of relative motion); Lorentz transformations already existed at the time, the real innovation of Relativity was taking all observations seriously, making time and space malleable whereas in Newtonian Physics …

Since I am a Russian ufologist and at the same time a physicist, I can explain a little on this issue. From the stories of those people who were taken to UFOs and told about their propulsion drives and power devices. From their stories follows the following: Aliens get their energy from ionized radiation in outer space, that is, from cosmic radiation. UFOs are equipped with special devices that collect cosmic radiation and convert it into electricity. Something similar to our solar panels on Earth, only they collect ionizing radiation. After that, they either charge their batteries or direct electricity to the ship's propulsion system for moving in space. 😉

If you could make a "u" shape wormhole and mount it so both ends of the wormhole are side by side at one end of a tube, and then accelerate a mass from the other end of the tube through the wormhole so it comes right back to where it started... Does conservation of momentum still hold? When the projectile is launched, the tube gets accelerated opposite the projectile, and when the projectile lands the tube gets accelerated in the same direction as the projectile so all the forces act together to accelerate the tube without reaction mass. Or...

So I traced the D1 loop back to its origin, which is the substantia nigra connecting to the reticular formation(brainstem) of the midbrain all the way down to the medulla oblongata region. Why is reticular formation interesting? Because it governs all the reflex action such as breathing, heart beat, consciousness, and sneezing. The way it generates consciousness is it provides dopaminergic signal to the striaum through the substantia nigra of the D1 loop(how I trace it back to reticular formation) and provides a constant beat of signal. My question: How are the nuclei(group of neurons) in the reticular formation capable of providing(generating) a precise signal …

I think EmDrive is really a foney. But there are real developments that can get propulsive force in a non-reactive way. The problem is that the effects that these developments showed are difficult to explain from the point of view of ordinary classical physics. We still know very little about Nature and therefore can't know which side bread is buttered. 😉

How do you feel about such a model that matter has a wave nature? If it's normal, then I can give you a interesting scientific stuff that tells you about the mechanism of motion from the point of view of wave processes at the atomic level of matter. 😉

I don't know where to post this but physics is most popular and these batteries are "high powered". I don't think they are theoretical either. I think they are highly classified and I'll save you the story but I think someone in a lecture on deep sea submarines accidentally revealed their existence. Their words "...and two, one-twelve element batteries..." was casually stated in listing off the specifications of a declassified briefing on a specific Russian submarine. This got me thinking what was meant. I'll spare the research and give you the conclusions. I'd love to see others help reverse-engineer this hypothesis further. Tl;Dr- 291Cn …

Why not use the left isomer of sugar in the production of sweet soda. It seems like it is also sweet, but it is not absorbed by the body and therefore should not lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes and should not harm the liver as saccharin. Of course, the security would have to be thoroughly checked.

Quote from beecee : "The speed of light is a constant and always travels at "c"." [ End of Quote ] This statement has experientially proven to be incorrect. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quote from beecee : " Space and time are both variable quantities and two opposite sides of the same coin, so to speak...without space, there is no time, without time, there is no space." [ End of quote ] It is not so. We cannot categorically asseverate that without space , for example , there's no time. Refer to Bergson's detailed discussion of the issue of time. Nor may we be absolutely certain that …

Hello for H0=67.66 km/s/Mpc i.e. tH = 4.5606*1017s, and ΩΛ = 0.68694 we have: ρc,tH = 3 / (8 π G tH2) = 8.5988 * 10-27 kg/m3. - by dimensional analysis, looking for the value of the cosmological constant Λ of dimension m-2 and with a mixture of relativity, deterministic Planck units we have: Λ = 8π ΩΛ ρc,tH lp / mp = 1.1026 * 10-52 m-2. [math]\Lambda = 8 \pi \Omega_{\Lambda} \rho_{c,t_H} \frac{l_p}{m_p}=1.1026 *10^{-52} m^{-2}[/math] - This is exactly the value of the cosmological constant of the ΛCDM model. The formula of the density of the" quantum vacuum" at our time tH0, seems to correspond to the formula of the density of the q…

I created a unified theory of our social world (from my own training and discoveries) in what I call The Laws of Social Fabrics, which represent our biological instincts (principles of survival) as well as who are consciously in spacetime. Each law is listed in order, from our most crucial survival mechanism: the 1st law, to our most complex social behavior: the 5th law. In addition, these laws are hierarchical in nature and represent the human psyche: the id, ego, and super-ego. They are classified in order from simplicity to complexity. Please see information below graphic. Spoiler The Laws of Social Fabrics (a Unified theory of o…

apologies for the bold - can't undo it... (fixed by mod) We’ve known for a while that something fundamental is wrong with our standard model. We’ve got the basics right and are making incredible advances in the atomic and quantum departments but something's not quite right; things just don’t add up. What if our fundamental premise about our universe is flawed - our ‘creation’ story? What if, before the instant of the ‘beginning’ of our universe, rather than nothing there was everything? What if all matter and anti-matter already existed in a stable homogenous state… impossible I hear you cry, but hear me out - let’s call it a matrix. An unimaginably infin…
