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. What if Mars was somehow made as habitable as the Earth and a group of humans was transported to it in 50,000 BC? Is 50,000 years from now until the present day long enough time for significant anatomical differences to evolve? What could they be?

  2. What do you think about this post from reddit conspiracy from october 2016: https://archive.is/uhMtg ?Guy there claims that something special will occur 3 years and 3 months later (January 2020), and it will be thing that will change our lives. You say the event around 2020 will change the world in hours or minutesNot exactly, around 2020 an event will happen that will change the way we live. In my research this doesn't seem to be the event that will change our lives in minutes or hours. I don't see that coming until a bit later.Just let me say, up until a event that cosmological, everything that you see go on, on a major scale no matter the cost of human …

  3. I made this analogy in the above thread, but I feel it hasn't adequately been addressed. I have since invoked the things social sciences have gotten wrong as a case against them, but such points have been dismissed out of hand. Quite frankly, I feel like it's a valid analogy. I'd like to add... if an undergraduate degree in sociology doesn't make you as employable as an undergraduate degree in engineering, doesn't that reflect poorly on either the service sociology is willing to offer, or on the customers' willingness to pay for "expert" opinions on it?

  4. Well, a few questions I am in concern of. 1. You guys do not know where the seat of consciousness is.(possibly in the caudate nucleus) 2. You guys do not know where to modify the consciousness frequency.(possibly in the midbrain region) 3. You guys do not know how to modify the memory.(optogenetics) 4. You guys do not know how to build an empty vessel.(progesterone) 5. You guys do not know how to keep an empty vessel.(animate the body with an AI). And you guys are counting on a molecular transformer to do the job.

  6. So i've been arguing with someone on ResearchGate regarding Special Relativity and other caveats related to his own pet Aether theory. He is, as many of these non-mainstream critics of Special Relativity are, a big fan of specific interferometer results from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century as he supports his theory on the back of a re-analysis of previous results. He claims that any vacuum interferometer will give a null result and that interferometers with a medium for the light beams would then give a non-null result. Something that was analyzed in this paper here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0205070.pdf. I'm curious about what your perspectives on it a…

  7. I am curious about this thread because I want to do ultrasound in nanometer resolution. I speculate that you can unlock all pathways and receptors with nanometer resolution. And from the math it seems a 10GHz ultrasound would do? Keep in mind I am a noob at ultrasound and I am not quite sure how tranducer(ultrasound producing device) works or if you can create a sound of that wavelength. Let me know, thanks. So the question is: 1. I want nanometer resolution of the tissue, if I can see DNA, sure. 2. Has a 10GHz/Tetrahertz ultrasound been done before with nanometer resolution? Let me know

    As the term suggests, molecule is a combination of more than one atoms through bonds. This makes this concept a bit easier to approach, because you are not transforming the elements of an atom like giving an extra neutron or proton into the atom's nucleus which is a whole different complexity. For transforming the molecules, I would say breaking apart the bonds of the atoms an reconfigure it to your needs. For example I got a tank of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen each. I put these atoms in the precise order and I got myself a hamburger on a plate in an empty space. That is how a molecular transformer should work, where you arrange atoms in precise orders to generate what …

  9. For years I'd been unsatisfied with the mainstream medical explanations of type 1 diabetes. Viruses cause it? Okay, which viruses, and why do they give people in some places type 1 diabetes at higher rates than others? I'd come across some theories that the ingestion of cow's milk and messing up the human immune system, and concern that both the dairy industry AND pharmaceutical industry have a mutual (between them, not for the rest of us) interest in keeping it covered up; the former to keep their cows, the latter to keep their cash cows. It's not accepted by the mainstream media, but I've been going for almond/soy/coconut based alternatives to dairy ever since. …

  10. Good Morning! Considering the Universe in a state of maximum contraction, with no spaces for the existence of wave propagation (or existence of pure energy) and completely static (to start or end any motion (expansion) any existence must be at rest), that is , without particles or interaction between them, why are there still hypotheses trying to use quantum physics or relativity to try to describe this instant for the beginning of an expansion? in short: (Google translator) Any mass at rest has a certain energy (from the interaction between the components that form it at any level). If this interaction ends, it will have all this energy equivalent to: …

    Conflation hypothesis. The main difference between conflation and current theories such as inflation, is that the latter would be like blowing up a balloon. As you blown more air into it , you would see the space and surface area of the balloon expanding at every point, getting further and further apart. However with conflation, You could imagine the balloon is already inflated with air, So to move energy into the balloon. We need a outside source of kinetic energy and a medium such as the air inside the balloon to transform that kinetic energy in heat. We know there are 5 types of kinetic energy, however only 4 apply here. …

    Ok to show I don't just waste my time looking for patterns in factoring. I have also studied game theory. Not so much the rigorous math, but the protocols. With a little knowledge and possible outcomes you can make some good predictions. I don't know if my reference will be lost on those who don't follow American football but here it is. I predicted on January 10th 2019 that Antonio Brown would become a New England Patriot. I have proof in the YouTube video link following. But my simple approach to game theory does not end there. Simply put the Patriots are ruining football. What if we the fans could devise a game plan that would defeat the Patriots. We cou…

  14. We have been taught that current is the movement of particles. But that doesn't match what it is traveling at the speed of light. I was thinking about it, and it seems that current is wave that behaves like light wave in black body. There is principal of multiple reflection of the wave from the walls of the conductor. This also explains the fact that conductors usually have a glossy surface.

  15. Hi my names rick, Now before you click off and designate this post to the forum's trash can, Because iv just mentioned some new ideas i have on how the universe may work, I would love for you to read part 1 of my paper on my blog url deleted you can click the PDF button and it will show up in the browser. I am looking to seek validation and scrutiny of the hypothesis as i feel it does address some of the current pitfalls with previous theories. if you would kindly share or even better if your working in any field of physics , where this hypothesis may match up with experiments or Documented / personal observations. I will be happy to post your replies and see if this…

    Granite is found only on Earth. It was not found either in meteorites or on other "planets" of the solar system. Officially it is unknown why. I suppose, it is because the Earth is the largest object in the Universe, with the greatest gravity and pressure in the subsoil.

    dthor68: Does anyone ever question Pangaea? It seem as plausible as Plate Subduction Tectonics, which implies that Everests and Matterhorns should be popping up all over the Pacific. Both Pangea and Plate Subduction are fabrications designed to explain a constant Earth radius. This has been refuted by UNESCO which, following James Maxlow's Earth Expansion Tectonics Theory, has compiled a Geological Map of The World at great expense. The evidence of this mapping proves that the Earth has doubled its radius over tha last 180 million years, and at an exponentially increasing rate, with the mid-ocean ridges located at the most recently laid down basalt. The ocean…

  21. Psychology is still juggling personality disorders, as it has for the last 200 years, trying to find a model that represents them more accurately. In regards to Sadism, sadistic behaviors and activities, it has changed quite a bit. IN the late 80s, the described sadism, not as a paraphilic disorder, as they do now, but as a personality disorder. They essentially erased social sadism from the DSM as a disorder at all, and now only consider sadism to be a sexually associated disorder. So what disorder now describes humans, who seek positions of power, or have them, and use them to hurt, intimidate, degrade, humiliate or scare others? There isn't one. In a way, t…

  22. They write here that around 1350 BC, Mars was in geostationary orbit, and they give good evidence. Proof – Mars Orbited close to Earth 1350 BC (Updated) But if about 3350 years ago Mars was in a geostationary orbit, then its diameter cannot be 6.7 thousand km., but just about 15-20 km., as I suppose in my New Model of the Universe.

  23. I fully agree with the concept of gravity based on quantum theory. I offer you your point of view. In general, my work is based on a Cotton flow for a gauge field. Let's see further. The theory of everything is mainly associated with the general theory of relativity and the standard model. On the one hand, the equivalence principle and on the other hand the gauge principle. The two principles are completely opposite to use, one for space-time geometry, the other for quantum fields. For the union is looking for a way called quantum gravity. Canonical quantization of gravity is called Wheeler equation. However, there are difficulties, lack of time and the inabil…

  24. In an effort to understand how mutations and natural selection could lead to the modern human eye, and the brain, which has developed along with it, I began to study the evolution of the eye. I came here and read a few applicable threads and read through them, and I was introduced to all the different types of genetic mutations. I am looking for types of mutations that are not random. This is because I don't believe the earliest mutations which began the continuing evolution of the eye, for instance, were random. As I understand it, biological life may never have began without light. And before any organisms had eyes, they had ways to process light for it's ene…

  25. Let us consider some experiments. We place a stiff copper wire on a table. Parts of its length don’t touch the table. Above a wire section that does not touch the table we hold a strong cylindrical magnet with its plus-pole down (N-pole), so that the wire lies exactly under the middle of the magnet. Then we connect a new battery to the ends of the wire so that the plus-pole is closer to us and the minus-pole further away from us. At the moment of connection we will notice that the wire makes a strong deflection to the left and up. As soon as we turn the magnet over and repeat the same, the wire will make a strong deflection to the right and up. If we hold the magnet again…
