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.

    Is anyone paying any attention to any of the hypothesis surrounding the Younger Dryas Impact? For a long time this subject was being used to explain everything from the fall of an ancient civilization to the JFK assassination, possibly the death of elvis as well. But lately some detailed explanations of many papers being used to explain things like the Carolina Bays and the scablands out west not to mention various flood myths and myths of earlier civilizations of humans here on earth which fell when the impact caused a scouring of coast lines all over the planet to raising sea levels as much as 400 feet. For awhile it was barely interesting but an actual scientis…

  2. Even without Relativity, you can work out the question only with the single axiom that SOL is finite. The axiom says that light takes some amount of time to travel. That means that any information that comes to you through the means of light comes from the past. It means that if you are observing a clock away from you, this clock is in the past. So if he knew that, Galileo Galilei, with some thoughts, could get to this: Say that you have 2 synchronized clocks on your desk. Say that you send one clock in a missile (together with a living duck) away from you. When this missile will be far away enough, the clock will look like beying delayed. Which means …

  3. We have constructed energy systems that consume and destroy from production to usage. EM currents are destroyers of biological life. They separate protons from matter within the field. This creates cancers and genetic defects in living things. They demagnetizes neural centers causing Alzheimer’s, dementia, malformed cell generation..... everything bad really. the polar opposite system is that which is derived from ferromagnetic driven electrical systems who’s energy can be explained by the bonding of hydrogen to ion. Scientist in this field of study haven’t quite decided on a name for this process, at least not in a uniform term. I’ll throw a term out there for it that…

  4. It is well known that most women prefer men that prominently express masculine secondary sex characteristics, and it is also patently true that men are a class of humans who do not bear children. Therefore if women's sexual preferences are a reflection of which traits are optimal in men we must assume they are also a reflection of which traits are optimal in a class of humans who do not bear children. Therefore if feminists believe that feminine traits are not suboptimal for tasks not related to bearing children then they should prefer feminine men, but women generally do not. How can feminists reconcile the incongruity between women's sexual preferences and their positio…

  5. Imagine a stone age level of human development. Assume that there were two genotypes of male: Men of genotype A whom are more feminine - They tend to focus on clerical tasks and avoid risk - They have low mortality rates Men of genotype B whom are more masculine - They tend to focus on tasks requiring strength, aggression, and risk taking - They have high mortality rates Note that the prevalence of a genotype in a population can only increase if its reproductive rate exceeds its mortality rate. Therefore if the prevalence of genotype B is to increase in the population then men of genotype B must have higher reproductive success than men of genotyp…

    Alright, first thing I'm going to say is that I got this from a book. The book is called Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. By Eoin Colfer I thought I should get that out of the way before someone says I got this from a book and it goes off topic. Now, inside the book a kid creates a code based off of no language. In other words, a completely new language that no one could decipher without a key of some kind. My question is if this code is entirely possible or if it's impossible to create. As far as I know if someone tried to make one their subconscious might make it too alike to a certain language, but that's just a guess. This is all speculation, and I'm just wondering i…

  7. Many human secondary sex characteristics are seemingly clear and obvious in their benefits to the organism, e.g. greater body size in males would give an advantage in intra-male competition and the performance of physical labor, the major downside being greater caloric expenditure. However humans have many secondary sex characteristics that don't seem to increase the organism's chances of survival. I'll briefly list these "unnecessary" secondary sex characteristics that I've thought of, and hypothesize how those traits became prevalent in humans. Neoteny in females: Men probably over-selected for neoteny since youth was associated with fertility. What is curious is t…

    .....Quantificational expression is not just secondary because of some describable subjectivity, but that quantification is only demonstrant through the observer's existence therefore, what we experience is of an inherent inversality. This means that experienced realism is of a representative infinite-supposition, that makes the content of quantification and the observer synonymous aspects, a supra-presuppositional context, thus representing a type of equality between the two that quantificationing betrays, thus any description of an observer, that is in any way separated from the wholeness of reality, is incomplete, much like stating that 5 = 3 when the whole is repres…

    Whilst musing on a statistical question I had a thought. Consider an isolated box of gas. The expectation is that the particles will be evenly distributed throughout the box. This is shown in fig 1 where there are 3 particles in each subdivision. Now as the particles move about consider the situation where two particles have temporarily moved from other divisions, B and D into division A. This is shown in fig2 This constitutes a local decrease in entropy in A and an corresponding increase in B and D since the overall or global entropy must remain constant. Now this must be true however small the divisions or however large the box. So the …

    The Bousso limit is a holographic hypothesis, the maximum amount of information on the border of the light sphere is equal to its surface area. I = A / 4 I propose to generalize this result for all cases of motion, for fixed and light holographic screens. Information equals speed times screen area I = v A / 4 This result is interesting because it gives a different interpretation of the velocity addition theorem based on the Fisher metric 24.pdf

    We live in four dimensions. Time/light is the first dimension. The basic foundation of all reality is time/wave/frequency. These properties all exist in the first dimension. Photon's only come into existence (for us in the fourth dimension) when they interact with our dimension. They are the ultimate time travellers. In the absense of light (time) linear velocity shifts down to a lower dimension and starts to take on the qualities of a wave/frequency. All higher dimensions drop one level and assume the properties of the lower dimension. A particle drops out of the fourth dimensions and becomes a three dimensional being. It's linear velocity starts to take on the qualities…

  13. This is the calculation Swansnot was asking for. If I made any newbie mistake feel free to point it out instead of yelling at me about it, thanks. So Argon gas has a atomic number of 18, which means it has 18 electrons. When an electric field or enough energy is applied to the Argon gas it would strip an electron off call the ionization energy. The result is if enough electron is stripped off it would turn the Argon gas into Argon plasma like the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrZxUdJcxNk Now I want to produce enough energy to satisfy the formula for E=mc^2. I would use a mass of 1kg and that would get me an energy of 9*10^16 joules. I would a…

  14. Proposed on the basis of the model preons, I obtained an empirical formula for all energy scales (neutrinos, standard model, theories of great unification, planck scale). Mn / Mq = (Mg / Mp) 2 Mn = 0.13 eV Mq = 1 GeV Mg = 10^14 GeV Mp = 10^19 GeV The great thing is the relationship between these scales based on this one formula. E = 1 / Mp2 ∫dA dB dC Where A, B, C are parameters of the braid topology in the form of gravitational field lines. This formula shows that the energy of the particles is a combination of the field fluxes A, B, C in the spit topology. In general, the uniform dimensions of the braids are the…

  15. Quantum entanglement would be one instantaneous force observed, the photon's speed of light another. Although, it's currently assumed that photons are always moving at the speed of light upon creation. What if these are connected and a clue to how matter basically operates? (Previous meandering post aside. If these ideas are out there, I may as well discuss them.)

  17. md65536; A measures the length of objects by recording the time of reflected light signals as they pass. In the top view, initial conditions are m1 and m2 at rest in the A frame. Each is 1 unit in length and 1 unit apart. In the middle view, m1 and m2 are moving at .6 toward A. A measures their length as .8 units. In the bottom view, A is moving at .6, past m1 and m2, but assumes a pseudo rest frame, with m1 and m2 moving past him. A measures the lengths and the separation as .8 unit. The measurements of the middle view differ from those of the bottom view. Length contraction is a change in the em forces that bond molecules. This phe…

  18. While I realize some of what I'm about to say will bear the hallmarks of pseudoscience, I hope once people read it they will see the merit and the moderators won't remove it out of hand. This isn't an attempt to avoid peer review, it's a rush towards it. Abstract: This theory will attempt to explain all matter, energy, space and time in the universe as massless momentum expressed in different dimensions. The core postulation is that all energy at the most basic level is inherently directional. This comes from over a decade of research breaking down each possible clue to the base components of matter and how they may operate to unite as many concepts as pos…

  19. Based on Strange's question about how I came up with 1km distance for plasma generation in mid air. Well, first thing we need to know is how to create plasma in mid air and Aerial Burton has a good idea about doing it from the video below. Now for the electron density in air for plasma generated with this method is around 10^15 electrons per cm^3(this means 10^21 electrons per m^3). Normal air is mostly O^2 which gives a molarization energy of around 1320KJ. So If you do the math to find the amount of plasma you need to satisfy E=mc^2 equation you will find that you need about 1km of plasma which is inefficient. On another hand you can compress the gas and …

  20. I might go straight to the proposal. Consider that the interior of black holes (BH)s only contain negative energy densities, also known as negative masses. These negative masses have been predicted to be repulsive by other famous physicists such as H. Bondi and W. B. Bonnor, but have not been taken seriously due to a paradox called "runaway motion" which takes place between masses of different signs. These negative masses would be created from infalling particles to the BH by a time transformation taking place at the event horizon, which only switches to antigravitational interactions, without violating Einstein's equivalence principle. The original S…

  21. There is an interesting fact, if the de Broglie wavelength is equal to the Planck length, then the momentum is determined on the Planck scale L= 10 {-35} m p = m v = h k = h / L = 60 ( kg m/s) A person lives with such an momentum (60 kg, 1 m / s) , intelligent creature. I think this is not a simple coincidence, on the Planck scale the concept of space-time is replaced by quantum gravity, moreover, the quantum theory is modified (generalized uncertainty principle). This means that the wave properties on the Planck scale should disappear (the many-worlds interpretation disappears, a single self remains), the border between the quantum world and the cl…

    Particle wave duality. I can’t remember where, book or video, probably video maybe both, but it was presented amazingly that a particle could pass through two slits at the same time. To me that would be amazing. So, I question it. It’s difficult for me to accept, as I understand the concept. Of course it could be my understanding. I read that for what seems the most part particles only exist for a short time. Also, amazingly presented as popping in and out of existence. Then there is my understanding of Heisenberg‘s uncertainty principle. Note, I am not questioning it. I am accepting it as true to a point, and that point is that you can’t measure both at …
