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. Started by hu??,

    Some years ago i reasoned that the gravitational field must have a negative energy content. Apparently that was not a very original though. I was also speculating whether the total energy (gravitational energy + the mass_energy it originates from) would be negative, equal to zero, or positive. My guess was that it must zero but i did not know how to make a logic argument for that, let alone make calculation with that. The best answer that i could find was that is was arbitrary, but lately i stumbled upon a lecture of Lawrence Krauss in which he also reasons that the total energy must be zero (although interesting, that is not what i wanted to discuss here. He also wrote…

  2. I dispute the experiment to prove the light bends because of gravity. I believe that the bending of light near a heavenly body is due to the ramping pressure and density gas around any heavenly body. If you could take the gas away and match the ambient pressure of deep space, near the heavenly body there would be no refraction of light. My views of how light is transmitted goes against all current teachings but was taught many decades ago here on Long Island, N.Y. but I do not want to get into trouble my first day.

    Since gravitational lensing occurs with large things such as galaxies, could black holes serve the same function? If, near the event horizon with it's high gravitational gradient, would a sharp focus of light rays occur at certain distances from the event horizon? Too far away and the gradient decreases. Too close to the black hole and the information is lost, so a precise distance vs. gravitational gradient point might give a clear image to a distant observer from something far away from it. Any observation would almost certainly be positioned at an angle to the normal lensed image shallow angle caused by a galaxy or other large object. This angle could be quite high, a…

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.

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. 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 …

  12. 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. …

  13. 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…

  17. 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.

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…

  24. 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…

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.
