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. NO, it absolutely cannot be arbitrary. (in this answer I will use the words “plus” and “minus” instead of “positive” and “negative”) “Plus” is the effect towards outside (expansion, blowing, explosion, yang), “minus” is the effect towards inside (reduction, suctioning, implosion, yin). For example, the act of inhaling is plus, because our chest expands; the act of exhaling is minus, because it reduces in size. From the history of electromagnetism it is known that Benjamin Franklin (1705-1790) is the man who was the first to introduce the terms “positive” and “negative”, i.e. “plus/minus” in the field of electricity in the middle of the 18th century. Previou…

  2. Einstein's 1905 derivation of E=MC² involved a thought-experiment using photons to derive a Lorentz factor equation and (ignoring higher powers in the Taylor expansion) comparing that equation to the classical Kinetic Energy Equation. This is actually the only valid method of deriving E=MC², other methods such as the one involving a photon in a box, are merely examples of 'petitio principii', something Herbert Ives wrongly criticised Einstein's 1905 derivation for. Indeed Ives' own attempt at a derivation was an example of 'petitio principii', as well as containing a mathematical error. The problem with a derivation involving the classical Kinetic Energy Equatio…

    Let's clearly state that not all 360 degrees of the earth is facing the sun at any given time. The light that lights up those early mornings comes in cycles. This is because the friction is greater at the point at which that earth is facing the sun. Now that the moon is stuck between that friction cuasing it to rotate around earth makes it act like a bouy. Now light will curve around a sphere and this light curve causing it to cause gravity. The friction of light at the focal point of earth actually pushes against it but when it finally reaches the moon at the point when it is at it's greatest distance from earth actually pushes the earth back against the sun. Which in re…

    There are about 5000 moons discovered in our solar system since probes have returned data on our planets. Of These, there are only 45 which have synchronous rotation. Earth's moon is one of these, and tidal drag is the explanation. While my mathematics is insufficient to perform such calculations, it seems unlikely with such a preponderance of non-synchronous moons unless both oceans are unnecessary and these moons have all been recently captured. This last is a possibility because there was a huge increase in meteor strikes during the Ordovician Period which may have been coincident with the creation of the asteroid belt. In that case many of these 5000 moons may date fr…

  7. Introduction: I have been recently been having ideas about the physics that occur in our bodies, and I have come up with a few theories. I have spoken to my science teacher, and she advised me to write to the naked scientists. I have had no reply from them yet, so I will post my theories on this forum. At the moment, I am 13. I would like to develop my ideas into a scientific paper by the middle of next year when I will turn 14. I have written to many people asking them if they could help me, in terms of supplying me with chances the validate my theory with research. (No one has replied properly yet). I want to add more value to the scientific community so if anyone c…

    A serious question puzzles me. Light is described as electro-magnetic energy. It is also described as quantized with each quantum having energy proportional to its frequency, yielding Planck's constant as the proportionality factor. But unlike the proton or electron (& their antiparticles), which have a specific rest mass, the quantum of electromagnetic radiation IS light in some reference frame at a particular range of relative velocities. For brevity I shall call it all "light" so quoted. Is the quantum if "light" an abstraction without a specific mass/energy, unlike the above mentioned particles? It seems to me to be like account books (or bytes) as opposed to actu…

  9. The nature of light. A photon has has energy and momentum (weight) but no mass . It is obvious that light is vibrations of some medium (ether). This environment cannot but have resistance, damping or absorbing light vibrations with time and distance. I will describe the essence in simple words so as not to complicate and not drag out the explanation. 1) Water waves. They spread longer (in time) than sound, but at a shorter distance (at a lower speed). Distribution medium: water. 2) Sound waves. The lifetime of sound waves is shorter than that of water waves, but the speed (and distance) is greater. Distribution medium: atmosphere (gas). 3) Light waves. By a…

    Formation of continents. Take a close look at the animation of two huge, diametrically opposed formations on the surface of the earth’s core. They cannot but be directly related to the formation of continents. They are both biased to the same direction (east). Continents are displaced from them to the east. Compare with the official model for the formation of continents. These huge structures are contrary to the official model of the formation of continents. Link to the animation source with better quality and higher resolution. The Cordillera – the Andes, the Iranian highlands – the Himalayas – are also two huge formations of a similar shape, also dia…

    In my research I have come to believe that time in a bubble,well in honesty that the universe is a ever expanding bubble of time.and from the center that there’s a shockwave like pattern that gets sent through it that affects everything.In terms of the bubble I believe that we can isolate a smaller portion of this bubble and so affect the contents inside.For example:We can affect how long it would take for something to grow.The way we isolate it is a field of plasma ingulfing the desired area and then having extreme amount of energy affecting the matter.I don’t think we have the tecnology for it today but in due time we might.I will progress with this even if I am told th…

  12. I read that Philip Gibbs claimed to have set up viXra to provide a platform where people who lacked the necessary credentials to publish on arXiv could establish priority for their work. By all accounts viXra will indiscriminately publish the most absurd of crackpot nonsense, so imagine my dismay when I tried to publish my scholarly paper containing the most beautiful integral equation in physics “E=MC² AND THE FROGTON UNIVERSAL FORCE LAW”, only to receive this merciless rebuttal: Dear Isaac Frogton, Your submission cannot be processed because pseudonym is not allowed and one should not name a law under his own name whether real or fictitious. Both these actions…

  14. The two slit experiment can be better, and more completely, explained by a particle theory. It should now be known by most physicists that two waves cannot explain the complex pattern (a pattern in an envelope pattern) of the double slit experiment in light. Two wave math will fail if the slits and the width of the impediment are much larger than the wavelength of the light. The math that works reliably regardless of the slit width, views the experiment as having four (wave) sources with centers located at the slit surfaces. When this correct math, is drawn as waves the image is irrational. The waves must pass through the blocking material and they without sensible c…

    A New Theory of Motion and the Speed of Light I will try to invalidate the theory of relativity by presenting a compelling alternative theory. I hope that criticism of Einstein's theories will not be seen as offense. I start by arguing that the failure of classical theories of light, ether theory and emission theory, wrongly led to the theory of relativity. One of the fallacious arguments usually presented in favor of relativity is the failure of classical theories and the lack of any competing alternative theory. The argument goes like: if classical theories fail and if no alternative explanation exists, then relativity must be a correct theory. Here I wi…

  16. I try to be very brief. What happens to matter if the mass of the electron, proton and neutron and their constituents increases by same factor? Lets look some of the properties in Bohr hydrogen model. I dont put formulas here but I tell the how they depend on the reduced mass. The orbital velocity, radius of orbit, energy, orbital period. All other properties except velocity, depends linearly to reduced mass or its inverse. If the mass of electron and proton increases by same factor,say “K” -the energy of energy levels increase by factor K -the radius of all energy level electron’s orbit decrease by factor 1/K -the orbital period time of electron …

  18. I wanted to share a few Algebraic physics formulas, a couple I created and other established ones, and wanted to get the community's reaction and input. Also if the my ideas get big, I want to call them Neo-Classical Physics. Incase it isn't obvious the ones I created are the rPhoton and gPhoton formulas. I'd like to ask you to review them with your own inputs of different photon frequencies or wavelengths to find errors of them, if any. And I forgot to write the E=mc2 formula in the picture but it will be needed to prove my formulas right or wrong. You'll need it in the m=E/c2 form. Enjoy.

We would use a program that finds all information possible to be got from a combination of letters words and all written forms of information. So the program would out put all separate documents possible. (For finding source codes we need characters and symbols included. For C++) The source codes for different softwares possible to be made from today's words and codes are among the vast amount of useless and useful data or documents. Our program should …

  21. Abstract At the moment, there are several hypotheses in geophysics that explain especially dangerous processes of the earth's crust movements - sudden outbursts of rocks and gas from a rock mass from the point of view of classical physics. Despite the fact that various macroscopic systems can be accurately described using classical mechanics and electrodynamics, a real mechanism and a working model of this phenomenon cannot be built. Consequently, to develop a model of sudden outbursts of rocks and gas, it is necessary to apply new approaches and methods, different from the description of macroscopic systems. This article describes a quantum version of the process of…

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum, and my purpose for posting here is to introduce a new system of physical theory to forum readers, for what it's worth. It's not that it hasn't been published/discussed previously, and it didn't originate with me, but I have applied it for years to develop an alternative physical theory to the standard model theory of particle physics, and I would like to receive informed feedback to the issues it raises here, if you don't mind. As you can imagine, it's a huge and very esoteric topic, not something one's friends and non-professional associates are anxious to engage. Since I am not a professional physicist myself however, I don't…

  25. That just makes for a strong statement. One person's testimony in a court of law is not conclusive, but might be admitted as evidence. If sarcasm is present, if by tone only, mockery is present. Agree. Published research was anecdotal before being peer reviewed. Peer review is more supportive evidence. . . . What I'm leading up to is this: the only objective argument begins justified and proceeds justified. If you begin with a theory, you can't finish justified if relative anecdotal evidence (sic) is dismissed. Establish it as not relative before proceeding.
