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. Analogy and interpretation of quantum entanglement according to Kartazion Imagine a game of ping-pong. At the center is the singularity, or the source, where there is the net. Each of the players is a particle. Together, they therefore constitute the entangled pair throughout the game. The ball is the packet of information. Let me explain. If one player has the ball, well the other player does not. The state is therefore always opposed. The entanglement corresponds to the current game of ping-pong. But when a player wins or loses the game, or the game in progress, the ball is then in the possession of one of the two players. Here we have the state of measurement. The…

  2. This article on how the light produces the colors I will begin with phenomena that everyone can see in daily life. If we look at the flame of a candle or a cigarette lighter in a dimly lit room, the flame is blue-violet in the lower part and yellow-orange in the upper part. If the part of the wick running over the wax is very short, then the flame is very small and it appears only blue. The flame of a gas stove is also blue, but as soon as we increase the gas supply, yellow tongues appear in the upper part of the flame. The smoke of a cigarette, whose smoke columns are not very dense, appears blue against a dark background, whereas yellow-orange against a l…

    If the BH interior is supposed to contain no material things, all converted to gravitation, could this action occur from a fluid like substance composed of virtual particle pairs so closely held together that they exhibit particle exchange, therefore becoming an analogue to a bose einsein fluid? It seems as though there should be a "something" inside the BH from which graviation to act from, and if not from material things, then perhaps virtual things.

  4. Contrary to everything you have learned about the so-called “cathode rays”, I assert something completely different about them. Please look at this drawing: This is a kind of cathode ray tube (CRT), also called Braun tube, which can be found in every CRT TV, monitor or oscilloscope. On the left side of the tube is the negative electrode (the cathode) and a little to the right is the positive (the anode), which is in the form of a metal disk with a small hole in the middle. To the right of the anode there are two additional electrodes which, when connected to a high DC voltage, deflect the beam from its straight line upwards to the positive electrode. The beam …

    P.S. This is copy pasted from Crunchyroll, where I originally made the post, but I find it of biological significance so I repost it here myself. Progesterone is originally thought of as a pain relief medicine for menstrual cycle(I think), but researchers have found its incredible regenerative capabilities in the womb(sorry if I did not mention this before = =, I thought everyone is tracking my progress). So some researchers decided to use progesterone for regenerative medicine. It is based on this research by Michael Levin https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/progesterone-helps-frogs-regenerate/ Also please check out this harmless video https://www.youtube.co…

    http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/banned-books.html here is a great link on books banned in schools and elsewhere. Also notice that Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species comes up. So does Shakespeare and dozens and dozens more, some, I think, don't have any right being banned. Some explanations are very vague and almost unbelievable. For example: and... Also mentioned is the Bible, Gone with the wind, etc. etc. What are some of your thoughts about banning books? In the school system, in libraries, anywhere? Here is a site giving some history on the more extremist "book banning," including the famous book burnings: http://www.al…

    Disclaimer: This is just a crackpot idea of mine. I am posting this to get opinions and thoughts from others who understand this stuff much better than me. 3D flat 4D universe model To start we know that on a large enough scale the universe is relatively flat. So we imagine the universe in this scenario to be a 3D flat disk that's the universe we occupy right this moment. It has height, width' and length and consists of all points in space. But we have a fourth dimension, time. We experience time as a linear relation of cause to effect essentially observing changes moment to moment allowing the perceived forward progression of time. But what if what we e…

  10. Have anyone of you ever considered that the holes in the Ozone was first started when Man sent the first Rocket from the earth out of our atmosphere. This is my Hypothesis. We burst our Magnetospheric bubble per say and allowed the degradation of the Ozone to begin at that very moment Imagine a blowtorch when it burns through steel it's a blowout. The Earths atmosphere is designed to envelop incoming asteroids when they enter in. But was not designed for an avulsion when the rockets leave the atmosphere. It's against Natural Processes. Just a Hypothesis please consider it with an open mind.

  13. I personally believe that we are on the verge of having a complete new world viewpoint of our everyday life. If you think about our conscience and our physical mind verses our conscience they are somewhat different. Our brains are made up of matter yet the matter that composes our brain include chemicals that wire out emotions and send electrical responses that form our conscience. our minds make known we are alive and aware of our surrounding but if we actually take the time to understand the concept our mind then we can not only understand our bodies but the world around us.

  14. Consider relatively moving inertial reference frames S, S’, S’’, with coordinates (x, y ), (x’, y’ ), ( x’’, y’’ ) , respectively. S’ and S’’ are moving with velocities v and u, respectively, relative to S, in the + x direction. At t = t’ = t”=0 , the origins of the reference frames coincide and the clocks in all frames are synchronized. An event ( Event 1 ) occurs in S at: x = x1 , t = t1 To find the coordinates of Event 1 in S’ and in S’’, the traditional way is to use Lorentz transformation ( LT ) directly from S to S’, and directly from S to S’’. My argument is that, if inertial frames have complete symmetry…

Alexandrian lighthouse and off axis parabolic mirror - an antique time mirror telescope? hi all, I have not intented this as historical speculation, but more as technical and scientific speculation could certain kind of optical system, off axis parabolic mirror what i describe below later, have been used as telescope and to beam light in alexandrian lighthouse similarly as fresnel lens. I dont know why anyone haven’t thought this idea more. I show here three sources, two of them is a take from medieval time chinese book and arabian book from the description of alexandria, third one is a single picture from Kitab al-bulhan or ”Book of Wonders”. Both of them …

  16. I was reading the description for Retro Sci Fi Tales #9 and it mentions in the description that their is a science fair in Paris in a fictitious 1800’s universe with a telescope that can see the surfaces of planets in other galaxies. Now Neil deGrasse Tyson said using the sun itself as a lens could allow us to see the atmospheres of exoplanets in our home galaxy. I however would be curious to take it up a notch and see exoplanets in other galaxies; essentially an intergalactic telescope. Speculatist and pseudo-futurist Isaac Arthur mentioned on his channel that a lens made of dark matter could warp spacetime and allow this but he did not really go into detail and someone …

    Introduction A model diagram made by myself, is attached to this post. I recommend use it as reference while reading this post. Summary The idea is that all natural things follow the natural causality. From simplest to complexity (or vice versa) of life could be based on it, in an universal manner. History - Where Did Hypothesis Came From? The idea was inspired by the patterns in the Nature; form, growth, stable, decay, and death – as observed by myself. Originally, it was a theory by myself called, “General Causality Theory”. It was precursor-ed by adaptive semi-determinism or asd / ASD. It was first conceived by myself years ago but discard…

  18. I will no longer post on your forum for the following reasons. 1-) Forum rules that vary by person 2-) Moderators scolding members like children 3-) Excessively prejudiced attitudes 4-) Hostile collective attack on different ideas 5-) Members afraid to support new ideas 6-) Members who can't comment without using words like bullshit and stupid thoughts, trash can. 7-) Other theories and assumptions are directly accepted as correct and science. My theory is expected to be proven immediately. Someday you will realize the accuracy of the Biological Combination Theory.

  19. Is the earth really our planet? Or the planet of fishes? 4/3 of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Only 1/4 of them consists of land. About 1/4 of the 1/4 land portion is entirely mountainous. In addition, there are deserts and poles that are not suitable for humans to live. There are also storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and predators. Only 3% of the water on Earth is made up of sweet water that people can drink. 97% consists of salt water. Is there a balance in nature? It is wrong to say that there is a balance in nature. Equalization of the power of two mutual forces is called balance. Whereas in nature, the strongest always wins and survives…

  20. I would like to use this discussion examine the written evidence to determine if the data has material evidence of the knowledge and practice highly advanced technologies not yet completely realized by modern scholars. To do so we must separate the superficial from the material, the ideological from the physical. For Instance, If Moses was able to move water in such a way as described then what is the scientific phenomenon that is being described and what are the requisite materials and methods to produce the phenomenon, is this information contained within the author's texts or relative texts that will provide supporting evidence. In this particular example The phen…

    The universal model we propose is cyclical in nature...We will begin with a super giant black hole. This black hole is at the point of the big bang we are familiar with, and all the matter of the universe is inside it..The black holes we see today have only been studied for about 13 billion years, and we have not seen their full life cycle.As they will be transitory in nature changes will occur over time,entropy will occur. I speculate in a time span of say a 100 billion years ,an explosion will happen, propelling all its contents out of its aperture. This explosion will make all the elements, hydrogen being most abundant... Inside the singularity bubbles will eventually …

    I have developed a manuscript as a startpoint for a new Theory in Physics and the beginnings presents a new interpretation for the known Lorentz's factor gamma = 1/(1-v2/c2)1/2 which appears in consideration before the development of Relativity Theory. The initial new consideration is that the factor s = 1/gamma = (1-v2/c2)1/2 is related to the Electric and Magnetic Fields and not the mass as was considered in the Kaufman, Bucherer, Newman, etc. exepriments (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufmann–Bucherer–Neumann_experiments). In Section 2.2 can be found the following: It is proposed that the Electric and Magnetic Fields and Forces formulas must be correc…

Biological Combination Theory: While the Earth was formed in the black hole, the biological elements (coal dust) were randomly scatter to earth surface and to the lower layers of the earth. Living Things have formed on the earth's surface and in the soil close to the earth's surface. The biological elements that are far below the earth's crust remained as coal dust because they could not form living thing. Viruses have formed from the elements in coal dust. Viruses caused the formation of bacteria. Viruses and bacteria caused the formation of the cell of living things. Where do new viruses come from ? …
