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.

    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…

  3. [ False claims about negative mass : Runaway motion problem, Vacuum instability problem, Wheel problem ] 1. The runaway motion problem is wrong. Runaway motion is an argument that the two masses continue to accelerate, in an ideal situation where the negative mass and the positive mass are exactly the same. Runaway motion is used as a rejection logic of negative mass. a) The difference in mass when creating the pair of negative mass and positive mass. As a general conjecture, when positive and negative mass are born, the mass will be exactly the same, but this conjecture is wrong. There is at least a gravitational potential energy (binding energ…

    This short TEDx talk should be watched by anyone with even a passing interest in the UFO phenomena.The speaker puts quite well what I have been trying to say for years... Science should be interested in UFOs and should be trying to study them by doing more than there is no evidence as though evidence should fall from the sky. I am in CA right now hence the chance in IP address...

  5. So after getting out of academia I must miss it... just after Christmas, this new year I was thinking about issues in cosmology and all this Dark Matter and Dark Energy theories, and had this crazy idea that's within Einstein's GR- maybe, but more so, it's within a non-flat curvature quantum theory, which we don't have so all this is speculation, but i thought perhaps tiny fluctuations in spacetime curvature (from moving masses in sub-atomic particles from distant parts of the universe), travelling in the same direction, in the same region of space, over billions of years, would interact and form very sharp curvatures in spacetime - on the scales 10e-18m to 10e-15m. …

    Proving reincarnation is possible, by determining the mathematical chance that decayed matter is recycled, restored and involved in the production of a new living cell, which happens to be in charge or is a part of a collective group of cells responsible for controlling a body and giving consciousness. This task will require ground-breaking research on how multicellular organisms came about, it will also require knowledge on the specific cells that are responsible for thought and how cells combine collectively to allow thought and senses.

    I was reading reply that Mordred wrote the other day and it could just be that I misunderstood but I started trying to create the universe starting off with plank dimensions. Assuming that time is like an apple and that you either have an apple or you don't, so in some crazy sense it makes sense that you either have a plank unit of time or you don't, so not being able to attribute time to anything between t=0, and what was it? t=10-34th? Because, if it ain't a defined unit of time then it ain't time, kinda makes sense, well at least it does to me. Sort of, kind of. Then I proceeded to build the universe one plank unit of time at a time... Right away I realized I…

  9. Simple verifiable explanation of 3 dimensional time 3 dimensional time is quite simple, it is a logical property of Einstein's time dilation in Special Relativity. If we blow up a balloon we know that it increases in 3 dimensions of space. If we have any two points marked on the balloon then as it inflates their distance in space increases. If we send information between these two points along the surface then the time it takes for the information to pass between them is increased in direct proportion to the increase in space. So at the quantum level it is not just the time between "particles" that causes time to dilate, it is time within …

  10. Key: Wave functions are not the same thing as meant by fields, as a wave function is a probability calculation, but for the purposes of basic understanding they can be used interchangeably here. Dark Energy = Field pressure. Core theory: All matter in the universe consists of fields. Particles are what is observed when two or more matter fields interact with sufficient energy. A stable particle is what happens when two or more matter fields interact with sufficient energy constantly. Not all matter field interactions create particles, but can create pressure. Predictive/proofs: Quantum entanglement: We are observing two points of int…

    Our Universe is three waves; spin, color, heat. We all know heat as charge but it doesn’t move between negative and positive It moves like a spherical radial vibration. positive, zero, and negative are the same wave just 90 degrees apart. Because there are three vibrations, the projections on the standard model appear that we can only see or measure 3 versions of each. Three charges, three colors, three generations of matter. Anti-particles are waves that are 180 degrees apart (a collapsing sphere or an expanding sphere). Spin flips each time the wave crosses zero. Imagine a spinning ball collapsing to zero then expanding out. The spin reve…

  13. The theory of relativity claims that all clocks regardless of their design and principle of operation, slowdown their ticks in the following cases: - during its movement, according to the formula T = To / (1- (v / c) ^2)^0,5 - as gravity increases. It turns out that such a slowdown of the clock ticks, called time dilation, is true only for light clocks, which include atomic clocks, and does not apply to all clocks. This slowing down of the clock ticks is therefore only a technical feature of light clocks, and not a dilation of time as such. For example, the pendulum clock will not slow down but will tick faster when the gravity increases, as it shown in the f…

  14. I have background, experience and education, in the psychology field, mainly social-psychology. I was given a few suggestions of where to put this thread, and I chose this because I do not want it to be a psych-social discussion only. At the same time, I am not necessarily looking for comment on why these theories (word used loosely) are wrong- I know they are by the way- but rather are these denial-beliefs (as in denial of established science and a belief in having been deceived' / 'the truth is out there' type of thing) growing in followers? If you want to post a brief description/method for how you would explain to these people why they are wrong, then please do. …

    study & discuss their (great?) work, energy WE=m*a*d using linear_acceleration a (=v/t, =2*((vi/t)+(d/(t*t)), =F/m) & the force(d) distance d (=va*t) of a mass m (=F/a). That (linear accelerated) force is F=m*a, where the average (accelerated) speed (velocity) va (=(vi+vf)/2), & speed (velocity, difference) is v=vf-vi, for final_speed vf, minus initial_speed vi. ((Even) although it would also be possible to use factoring (an initial unit_speed of 1 m/s), instead). The (moving) kinetic_energy is KE=m*v*va, (pronounced key), or KE=m*((v^2)/2)+v*vi) using initial_speed vi, or KE…

  16. Started by dad,

    Or perhaps someone here thinks we do know C in deep space? If so, how? To know any speed we need to know time. What time is like. On earth and the area of the solar system we do know that. We have probes that have gone almost one light day from here. Beyond this we do not really know what time is like. So, if time were not the same as here in this 'fishbowl', how we we know? We see and experience all things here in our time (and space_. Bottom line is that it is only assumed and believed that time is the same out in the distant universe. One implication of this would be that nothing in the universe could be said to have taken millions or billions of our years to…

    A vehicle drives on the road being covering with water. Does it indicate that surface water is necessary for vehicle driving? I believe that everyone would give the answer “no”, for vehicles would drive smoothly without surface water on road. Vehicle driving does not need water as the medium. In the contrary, water would affect the driving speed of vehicle. If we assume the driving speed of vehicle is v0 when the water is static against the ground and the relative velocity of water against ground is x in the direction v0, then the driving speed of vehicle parallel to the flow direction is v0+x and the driving speed of vehicle against the flow direction is v0-x. Water flow…

  20. Hello If we take [math]\Large{\frac{1}{\Lambda}}[/math] for the "entropic surface" [math]A[/math] with this value of [math]\Lambda=1.10242*10^{-52}m^{-2}[/math] (https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/118858-the-solution-of-the-cosmological-constant-problem/?do=findComment&comment=1118201) The value of [math]N*8\pi[/math] from entropic gravity is exactly the value of the vacuum catastrophe (about [math]8.73^{122}[/math]) when [math]\Lambda=1.10242*10^{-52}m^{-2}[/math] Is that right and what physical meaning can it have please ?

    Name it causal influence faster than light, whatever. You are, of course, free to hold your belief, but to save the Minkowski interpretation against the Lorentz ether you have to give up a lot: Realism (in the very weak form of the EPR criterion of reality), causality (in any form which contains Reichenbach's common cause principle) and, following my argumentation in Schmelzer, I. (2017). EPR-Bell realism as a part of logic, arxiv:1712.04334 even logic (the "logic of plausible reasoning" or the objective Bayesian interpretation of probability). Of course, this is only special pleading in defense of holy metaphysical principles about the fundament…

  23. Several points: far and away the most important GHGs are h2o & o3-- and even they have mixed effects. While they both can delay the exit of IR wavelengths radiated as energy absorbed by the planet's surface is sent back off towards space, they both also intercept and reflect a great deal of incoming short wav radiation from the sun-- Everybody knows cloudy days are cooler than sunny days, but cloudy nights are warmer than cloudless nights...Notice that deserts (low atm [h2o]) get hot in the day and cold at night, while rain forests (hi atm [h2o]) are hot during the day and stay hot all night, but both have the same [co2]. ???? A reasonable person would deduce that co…
