Speculations

We hear about so called "islands of stability" in super heavy elements, what does this mean exactly? Can we really expect super heavy stable elements or are we talking about elements with half lives more like minutes or hours instead of nanoseconds?

Bonobos have a reputation for massive orgies. Female chimpanzees have a reputation for taking turns having sex with the alpha male. And yet, we as their evolutionary cousins are told; mostly by religious zealots, but sometimes by anti-theists sentimental about marriage; that we evolved revulsion to promiscuity to keep STDs at bay. I find this very hard to believe. Women so admire studs they use "virgin" as an insult. Men so admire the supposed desirability of men who get more action than themselves that they spend hours watching Bond movies that they could have spent having sex with their own wives. And as for "sluts," as much as a man may feel upset that she …

There's no such thing as original thought, right? There is always a danger that you think you've invented the wheel, but then you realise that high-performance vehicles have existed for decades. But please bear with me - I acknowledge that I could be talking complete and utter claptrap. I am not a physicist but I have a theory that considers: why the universe is a cone (integrating inflation and, more importantly, the increasing rate of expansion) why rate of expansion continues to accelerate what dark matter/ energy is/ isn't (the theory being that they don't exist because there is something else that explains universal gravity and expansio…

Why humans walk upright is because of human innovation howsois Abstract Survival depends on the environment. A creature survives in a new environment, and its ability to survive is the decisive factor. Human survival ability comes from knowledge, and knowledge comes from innovation, which is the fundamental reason leading human evolution. Human upright walking is a sign of the evolution of ancient apes to humans. However, walking upright is only a result, and the reason is that ancient apes need to use their hands to solve the problem of survivability in the new environment. The evolution of human beings is fundamentally different from that of other creatu…

initial state is well known, and there is a limited set of basic elements (qubits) that can be manipulated by a simple set of rules—rotations of the vector that represents the quantum state. But observing the system during those manipulations comes with a severe penalty: If you take a look too soon, the computation will fail. there's analog gravity immonating from my vectors, that doesn't merely rotate but moves my m-branes (pyramids in spheres) in chaotic and unpredictable ways when the algorithms are run. You don't need to guess. https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/hardware/photonic-quantum-computer-shows-advantage-over-supercomputer.am…

Tilt one corner of a plane and you have the simplest 3D "alpha" (murphy's law) shape (source of the antiparticles gw charge direction) 3-sided pyramid. 360 degree rotation + spin yields the 3d "omega" (murphy's law) shape.

Not wishing to "Hijack" another thread, but keen to help where possible by opening doors for those asking... ":How did we come from nothing" &c. ...I have assembled the following which, as far as I can see, is much better than "nothing". Read on, and Isaac Newton himself will have a few words to say which defends my efforts here. Those who are offended may...choose their own opinions. This IS speculations, although every hypothesis really is. That position I will answer quickly. As you have witnessed, Mainstream Science is not equipped to answer your very reasonable question. If I may, I will provide the answers that my research has turned up, as an uns…

Once, I heard about that the Sun releases 1,7x10^17 J per year and our most advanced solar cell can take out 43% of the energy that came form the Sun. So if we put many solar cells in Africa, specifically in the Saara Desert, that has 9 200 000 km^2 we could produce enough energy to power all Africa. But even if we just put the solar cells on top of the houses, they could still have enough power to live without power that comes from a generator that runs with oil or some kind of fuel and stops working when they need. Some kids would be able to study at night and have better grades, consequently have better lives.

Aether, I know it doesn’t exist. My question is about why we know it doesn’t exist. The Michelson-Morley experiment. Which actually as I read about it doesn’t really make sense to me because if c is c invariant what exactly were they looking for? But, Einstein’s c invariant was after M&M, okay that lines up. Hmm, but what other proofs were being looked for? why was Aether assumed stationary? If they expected it to be stationary, why were they assuming a variation of c would be found? I would assume that a stationary system would have to be non-reactive. the reason I ask is because I was watching a video about dark matter, and dark energy and the r…

Dark Matter is approximatly 85% of our universe, we don't know what it is so we can´t say that is matter. But imagine if Dark Matter was a distortion in the space-time fabric and those distrotions were grooves left by stars, planets or even galaxies, that were doing their thing and just did it.

While not so many would be interested in Pangaea, Sprites may be somewhat more topical. This phenomenon has only received credence from the scientific community in the last 30 years. In fact, much of the interest is likely from the birds-eye view offered by the International Space Station: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150821.html The thread on Sprites is moved to Speculation "Split from Pangaea", since it is related to much of that material.

Firstly, understand that time is an illusion. Humans count 86400 seconds (1440 minutes or 24 hours) to make up one day and that is what is called time. Time is just numbers people give to different moments of the existential plane. So you cannot really talk about the age of the universe or whatever when really time as we know it is an illusion. I think that there is another concept beyond our reach in this dimension that would be more suited to talk about what you people call time. Secondly, time did not come into existence. Think about what people call time travel. You are different from what you were 10 years ago physiologically not because of time but because …

About myself I have just joined this forum and wish to describe my background. Educated to M.Sc. Level, with some relevant work experience thereafter, I opted for a more mundane career some 40 years ago and have been a carpenter and joiner ever since. I have always retained an interest in many fields of science – this in no participatory manner, more by way of reading “popular science” and relevant TV viewing. Dark energy So, this is an idea that occurred to me, I would not wish to present it as a theory, more as an idea for discussion. I would be totally not surprised to find that it is not original and can be discounted fo…

Hello, Its been a couple of years since i came up with this idea. Just want to share with you a video that i made explaining this theory. Basically, it is explained from an electrostatic perspective of a neutral atom that i call the neutrostatic field. It is the parasitic electric field from a dipole atom that we consider 'neutral'. But both charge is not occupying the same space at the same time so the net field cannot be absolute zero at any distance from the atom. Since the positive nucleus and the negative electron is separated by the bohr radius, then their is always a net weak field in any space around it. Currently I'm attempting to do some simple calculation …

http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=youre_not_a_nerd So I was recently thinking about this Maddox article today, as I was trying to snap some pictures and videos of the scenic sunset. Photography is an interest of mine, but to some extent so is chemistry, so it brought to mind this article challenging the sincerity of the supposed love for science of people who love the photography brought to us by science. The first reason was "why don't you go do some." I think not everyone is willing to commit to 8 years in university, along with the subsequent "publish or perish" lifestyle to become a scientist. People say they love sex while posting on…

They never did. But could they do this in right circumstances?

I do two things 1. I replace my entire DNA in the brain with that of someone else, let's say it's Obama. In order to prevent rejection I undergo autologous bone marrow transplant. 2. To destroy the existing gray matter structure I use some kind of technology to kill neurons in my brain and turn them into glial scars. Then I use glia to neuron conversion technology to turn those scars back to functioning neurons. Would I get a brain structure fundamentally simialr to that of Obama?

Just curious about virus reaction to fumes, like the smoking effect, maybe it is more potent for bacteria?

Inspired in the thread "Nothing can come from nothing so something always existed!" at the Physics' Forum I'm exploring the idea that what could have ever existed is a Turing-like Machine running over a limited discrete 3D Space. And thinking in an entire Universe evolving from something very simple I think in an evolving Turing-like Machine from may be a very simple binary automata to a more complex one with time over an also evolving 3D Space. The elementary elements of the 3D Space would have some attributes which would let define elementary particles in some places. The elementary particles would obey some rules which would constitute the physics' laws of the Uni…

Before I get started, let me say that I am not a scientist (that much I’m sure will be clear soon) but I am college educated in Aviation Science and I do like solving puzzles. About a year ago, I randomly started thinking about why the universe has perplexing issues with accelerating expansion and had what felt like an epiphany. It has been in the back of my mind since and I’ve been too short on time/and or courage to ask knowledgeable people their thoughts, but here I am now. My “epiphany” was that if the universe were sphere shaped and the Big Bang happened at the “North Pole” of the sphere and everything traveled south, then it would appear that different sectors of th…

Roman Numerals present something of a mystery. While the Plebeians may have been too poor to have much use for numbers as large as 1000 or M by virtue of their poverty and limited technology, their system (excluding for the moment shorthand representations like IX for 10 - 1 = 9) is a descendant of the Egyptian system apparently without the shorthand convention, and with different characters. The beauty of it, though, was that Plebeians did not need schooling to count and learn some arithmetic tricks. The non-subtractive notation was a direct representation of results on an abacus. So how did the accountants of Patricians operate with such a limited system during the…

“Gravity is the force of attraction that makes things fall straight down.” That is how we commonly describe or define gravity. As to the song “ what goes up must come down”, due to gravity. Then, think about this: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/everything-you-thought-you-knew-about-gravity-is-wrong/2019/08/01/627f3696-a723-11e9-a3a6-ab670962db05_story.html “ So: “Gravity is what makes things fall straight down.” Well, yes — depending on what we mean by “straight down.” The path seems straight only because you’re standing still relative to the Earth. As Galileo realized, if you drop a rock from the mas…

A Quantum Mechanical Interpretation of the Consequences of Special Relativity Einstein's theory of Special Relativity Einstein's theory of Special Relativity predicts that for objects travelling at a significant fraction of the speed of light time dilates. Experimental observations are in agreement with the predictions. For example ordinarily short lived particles such as Muons when at rest are observed by a stationary observer to exist for significantly longer periods when travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light. Mathematically Speed = Distance/Time As the speed of light is expected to be constant in any frame of reference (conseq…

Betelgeuse is estimated to be 642.5 light years away. Why is dynamics of brightness of Betelgeuse so closely aligned with the dynamics of solar activity? Diagram source link: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/couldnt-sun-be-cause-global-warming Diagram source link: https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/fainting-betelgeuse/ Moreover, in addition to the correlation with 10-13 years solar cycles on the Betelgeuse brightness graph, there are clear 1 year cycles of brightness fluctuations also visible. Based on this fact, I assume that Betelgeuse, like all other "stars" and "galaxies", are located in the Oort Cloud and reflect sunlight. Here is a…
