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.

    Hi all, i am creative person with high interests in the art and natural basic science. I did some observations on rainbows in the sky and rainbows trough glass prisms, and i made some surprising experimental results. If you are interested in rainbows and how they behave quantum mechanical, just have a look at this very short easy to read document and we can talk and chat about it...

    SeaPower description Attached is a diagram that details a new energy generating power source using the expanding rise of air underwater as a lifting force. This is the same principal that keeps a boat afloat. In the diagram, there is a linear row of balloons. The lower balloon or inverted umbrella; is injected with 300 cubic feet of air compressed to 18 ATM resulting in a volume of 16.66 cubic feet of air. When the first balloon rises 99 feet (3 ATM) a second balloon attached to the first one is injected with 300 cubic feet of air compressed to 16.66 cubic feet of air. In the diagram provided this process is repeated having five (5) balloons risi…

    Need some help with this hypothetical. If you added 139,989,929,200,000,000 gallons of water to the ocean how high would the sea level become? If you could explain the math that would be more helpful too. There’s no use in knowing the answer if I can’t do it myself.

  4. Note before reading: this is my first theory, and as such will have a lot of flaws/ doesn't work with laws of physics/ doesn't work at all. So feedback and corrections will be much appreciated! Also I do not know all the theories out there, and this may be similar to a preexisting theory, which is not my intention. So this is a theoretical model of a cycle involving two universes. Imagine a 3D cylindrical infinity symbol, with the middle two lanes(?) connecting. At the center (from a top or bottom angle) of the overlapping lanes is a indefinitely tall line that divides the overlapping part into four sections, each connected to a side. A universe starts in one secti…

  5. Is red shifted light travelling at a speed less than c? Light emitted from a light source moving away from an observer at a speed v would intuitively be expected to be travelling at a speed c – v but is in fact still measured to be moving at a speed of c. The measurement of speed is based on the time interval between the light being emitted and the light being detected at the destination. The difference between light detected from a stationary source and light detected from a receding source is that the latter is red shifted which means that its wavelength has increased and consequently that it is less energetic. But what does that really mean? One can vis…

    The power emitted by a black hole in the form of Hawking radiation can be estimated for the simplest case of a non-rotating, non-charged Schwarzschild black hole of mass M. Combining the formulas for the black hole Schwarzschild radius, the Stefan Boltzmann law of blackbody radiation, the black hole Bekenstein Hawking luminosity surface radiation temperature, and the sphere surface area formula, which is also the black holes event horizon surface area, several equations can be derived: [math]\;[/math] Stefan Boltzmann constant: (ref. 1, ref. 2) [math]\sigma = \frac{\pi^{2} k_{B}^{4}}{60 \hbar^{3} c^{2}}[/math] [math]\;[/math] Schwarzschild radius: (ref. 3, ref. …

    When discussing evolution with modern-day scientists one thing becomes apparent : Their need to view evolution as essentially a 'social' process, with 'cooperation' as its main theme. They do mention natural selection, but then quickly de-emphasize it in favour of 'social ... social ... cooperation ... social'. Evolution is based on natural selection because that's the rule that effectively counters entropy since it actually uses the fact that everything ends up destroyed; it is the fact that everything gets destroyed that allows natural selection to work. This is what answers the question why extremely complex organized machines like animals and humans can exist i…

    First of all I'd like to thank this forum, for allowing me to present my ideas. And let me say, I'm not an opponent of dark matter, just a little skeptical about it. I have for long been looking for a replacement for it. Something that wasn't undetectable, or atleast didn't require the total mass of the universe to be multiplied six times. Since I don't know the math of what I'm about to suggest, please be gentle with me, when you reject and disprove my suggestion. My suggestion is that wormholes are much more common than we thought. They are between all adjacent stars, and form an invisible gravity web, that makes stars able to form galaxies. Yes, it'…

  12. At the risk of wandering into the dreaded realm of Speculation, I wish to offer the following insight into Special Relativity. To help put you in a proper frame of mind for this offering, imagine standing on the earth and looking UP at the moon. Now imagine standing on the moon and looking DOWN at the earth. It's just a difference in viewpoint. To begin, we will go earth to moon: Imagine I am standing on a platform next to a train track, and you are on a train speeding past me at 0.8c. I apply a magnetic field across the track, and a charged object, say a ball, riding with you in your train gets caught up in this field. What happens? I will see the ball l…

    The version of Faraday's Law that purports to encompass both motional and transformer EMF in one term of an equation, namely EMF= -d[math]\Phi[/math]/dt, is false! Richard Feynman pointed this out in his Lectures on Physics, although he called it the "flux rule." It works in most cases, but not all. It has no physical basis. It is just an engineering convenience. It seems that virtually all the physics and electromagnetics textbooks and encyclopedias, at least in the U.S.A., treat it as though it is a true physical law. They also contain a lot of nonsense related to Faraday's Law, such as erroneous derivations and misconceptions. I believe that it is quite an indic…

    I've read in an article called How to Fly a Helicopter that it takes both hands and both feet to fly one of them. It shouldn't be that difficult. I have two computer games called Infiltrator 1 and Infiltrator 2 for the Commodore 64 (in the year 1986) that only requires 1 joystick with a fire button and a keyboard to fly an attack/defense helicopter. I'll describe how it works: First, use the keyboard to press B,S, and I for Battery, Systems and Ignition. Let the RPM indicator increase to 3240 RPM's. Pull back on the joystick to increase altitude to 2000 ft. Since your horizontal velocity is 0, you are in hover mode. If you wanted to go back down to 1000 ft., you would pus…

    Anyone know about Bob Lazar's claim that UFOs of ET origin may be powered by an antimatter reactor using element 115. In recent interviews with Bob Lazar, he refused to say anything about 115. But he did describe the propulsion system of "Saucers" near Area 51 at S4. The 115-fueled antimatter reactor powers gravity amplifiers, output goes to gravity emitters. The saucers fly "belly first." I found some info about 115. Does any of this make sense to anyone? "As of 2017, about 100 atoms of moscovium have been produced. "Moscovium was called ununpentium (IUPAC system) or eka-bismuth (Mendeleev's naming system) before its official discovery. Most peopl…

  17. Here is some idea I came accross recently. All fundamental properties of physical systems are described in terms of: - A background of empty 3d space which is filled in every part and every direction with fluctuating strands. Strands are featureless, but do not interpenetrate, and continue to the horizon of physical space. - All properties of matter and observables we can detect are based on strand crossings. The strands themselves are unobservable. From this miniscule description of physics he is able to show that all physical properties can be deduced, including general relativity, quantum field theory, the standard model, etc. He makes some bold predictions, for…

    Due to this government’s lockdown policy, I have more time to have ‘mental analysis’ (or simply call it, ‘out of the box imagination'). There is this on-going argument between proponents of the what-so-called ‘flat Earth’ that defies the textbook defenders of the ‘round Earth’. If you search the Internet, there’s so many topics going on, one claiming that the Earth to be flat, why others, of course, as already been established, that the Earth is round. As to my own opinion, the Earth is indeed ‘round’. But why it looks seems flat, as many experiments, in a way, as others are claiming and keep on proving it (with some success), has something to do with my ‘sugges…

  19. Hello! Quite some time has passed, since my last visit here and a lot of things changed... For example, it turned out, that I can in fact do some math and use it, to show you the only correct model of gravity and energy distribution in relative motion. I've spent around 6 weeks and wasted some 8 pages format a5 on calculations, while looking for the right formula - it took me so long, because I did such things for the first time in some 20 years or so and also, this was that part of physics, which as far as I remeber, I've always hated at most... I wonder, what then can explain all those generations of professional physicsts, who didn't even think about trying to calculat…

    Hello. The stated principle is purely mathematical and will have to use unconventional terms. This is the construction of a three-dimensional matrix with one and the same particle in motion. This imaginary particle is simply guided by an ultra-powerful imaginary field. This field allows the oscillatory movement of the particle from a point A to a point B for example. The advantage or the physical challenge would be to be able to see the human eye several points or particles at the same time, and in several different places. In cinematography, it takes just 24 frames per second to perceive and obtain seamless fluency in all types of contiguous, local an…

My Theory I believe that only maths existed before the big bang, and I further believe that maths was looking for an answer that was unanswerable without the existence of a material universe. With an over heating CPU, maths blue screened. The universe it created was to provide a physical abacus, a playground of endless possibilities that would feed back information to the mainframe. If maths was there before the big bang then it's still there, not…

    A fresh look at the underpinnings of Special Relativity is merited for the following reasons - 1. In earlier posts, I’ve shown how to view SR applications as Related Experiments - a pair of matched experiments in which charged particles are subjected to external electromagnetic fields. In the object experiment, the particle is given an initial velocity v and subjected to fields E and H. In the image experiment, fields E’ and H’ are applied to the particle at rest, where E’ and H’ are the transformed images of E and H under the SR field transformations. The 4-space motion of the particle in the image experiment (t’,x’,y’,z’) will then match up with the transfo…

    I'm not as schooled on this subject in general, but I've read a couple of books and I've had a thought about Gravity: Given a simplified Newtonian formula of Gravity (F=G((msub1-msub2)/r2), Maxwell has a similar formula for the Magnetic Field (B=(μ0(I)/2πr). To my best understanding, the Magnetic Field is point in Planck space that sees Electrons traveling past Protons. And given Special Relativity, the Electrons appear to be stretched. Which makes that point see more positive charge from the Protons than the negative charge from the Electrons. "Seeing" the charge from the charged particles is basically when Electrons emit and absorb Photons when interacting with…
