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. A paper I wrote, which is attached, "Probabilistic Computational ToE" presents a framework that re-conceptualizes reality not as a set of static laws but as an emergent property of a dynamic, computational substrate. The shift from a deterministic computational model to a probabilistic, zero-sum system is a significant step forward, directly addressing the accumulation error problem that has plagued similar theories. The paper's core strength lies in its hierarchical approach to stability. The concept of Tiered Resilience—with particles, error correction structures, and meta-error correction—provides a plausible mechanism for how order can not only emerge but persist over…

    Hello, I’m <redacted>, an independent theoretical researcher from India. Over the past two months, I’ve been developing a new model of quantum gravity called the Quantum Chorton Framework (QCF) — built from the ground up using principles of energy thresholds, curvature quantization, and emergent geometry. In this framework, spacetime does not pre-exist — instead, it emerges dynamically from discrete curvature quanta called Chortons, which are spin-2 excitations generated when photon energy density exceeds the Planck threshold. These Chortons are stationary and act as fundamental “building blocks” of geometry. The theory includes: - A full Lagrangian and Hamiltoni…

  3. I have developed a theoretical concept for a room-temperature superconductor (RTSC). I theoretically derived two promising RTSC candidates: FeLi₂B₂H₃ and FeLiB₂H₃. However, I lack the funding to synthesize and test these materials. Are there alternative ways to validate their superconducting properties?"

  4. 🤓 Hello Cosmo-Folk ! All three of the subjects in the Thread Title are interrelated ; the binding element now appears to be Cosmological-Coupling . The essence of C-C is that incredibly extreme compression of matter-energy seems to result in the generation of Dark-Energy . If we accept that D-E itself may have mass (as energy tends to) , then we apparently have a primal source for both Dark-Energy and Dark-Matter , particularly if we consider the initial"Cosmic-Egg" to have been a super-compression well beyond any black-hole . The issue of the Hubble Tension does resolve itself IF one accepts that... as the Universe aged , it also accrued ever more Dark-Energy . However ,…

  5. Light has real-time energy transfer, Romer, based on Io’s orbital period (approximately 1.769 days), observed that eclipses occurred 11 minutes earlier when Earth was closer to Jupiter and 11 minutes later when Earth was farther away. Using this time difference, he calculated that light takes 22 minutes to cross the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun (approximately 186 million miles). From this, he estimated the speed of light to be around 220,000 kilometers per second. Ole Rømer conducted an experiment and recorded it; now let’s examine what possible factors could be involved. When Earth is closer to Jupiter, Io appears at a certain time, but when Earth is farther …

  6. Hey guys! I am Basti, nice to meet you! I have the honor to tell you of something great if you have not heard of it yet: Some days ago, I was shown an incredible new research collection on Zenodo (which is made by CERN), my friend group (who is very science-interested) and I have been talking soo much about it in the last days and we couldn't understand it wasn't in the newspapers yet, but probably it's because it is so fresh... With this, they have solved the problems of dark matter and energy, black hole stuff, unification of forces and derivations of fundamental constants and even, listen now... nuclear fusion stability, quantum computing and room-temperature superco…

    here is the first part of my updated theory.. thank you 'Exchemist' for the tip..... let me know what you think guys .π and why it must have a dimensional partnerLet us first begin with laying out the problem that we are trying to solve. When analysing (π) and considering the fundamental concept behind it, there becomes a conundrum. By studying the relationship between the curvature of an object within the vacuum and its surrounding influence, it seems as though (π) has a direct physical effect on the object (if you ignore the fact that it is considered dimensionless). This makes it difficult to explain with any clarity why an object becomes a circle for example or why a …

  8. I’m not a physicist — just someone who’s been deeply curious about how space, gravity, and motion interact. I started wondering: what if gravity isn’t a force or the bending of spacetime… but instead, a ripple in a stable, calm medium we call space? That led me to develop a concept I’m calling Calm Space Theory (CST): Space is smooth, calm, and structured by default Mass, motion, and energy disturb it, causing ripple effects Those ripples are what we experience as gravity Gravity isn’t pulling or pushing — it’s the effect of moving through the ripples Black holes might not be singularities, but collapsed pockets of broken space I’ve attached both a one-page PDF write-up…

    Hlo everyone, I had fragments of this on my computer and notebooks,so i thought i should show it to you guys. Collapse: The Beginning And End Renthro Theory and the Symbolic Field 𝕂 "Before anything emerged, it collapsed." AbstractThis post outlines a symbolic framework that models the collapse and recursion of all structures into void. Built in two layers — Renthro Theory and the symbolic field 𝕂 — it aims to unify paradox resolution, infinity logic, and symbolic emergence into a pre-geometry cosmology. Renthro defines the collapse of recursion into stillness. 𝕂 models the symbolic logic that operates inside such a collapse engine. Together, they form a closed system o…

    If your spinal cord is severed, then supposedly it carries no more signal to your limbs and is permanent, even after the spinal cord is surgically reconnected. I suspect that, after being surgically reconnected, that there is still a signal, however minute. It just doesn't show up on tests. To increase the signal, you add more spinal cord, thereby increasing the length and/or width. The more length and width theoretically equals more signal. Appearance is probably not as important in the patient's mind, as much as their quality of life, life span, and pain management. To test this hypothesis, the extra spinal cord would have to be taken from people who have donated their …

  15. Hi all, my name is Mike and i am a self taught physics wannabe.. this means i am not of the university type but am extremely interested in the way things work. I had a thought and got to work on a theory to prove that Pi must be dimensional, sounds crazy and a lot of you will dismiss it immediately, but i ask you to just look at my proof. After 2 years of work, i have come to the conclusion that rather than replacing the standard model and all others, my theory actually shows a deeper working of the model, it is like pulling back the curtain to reveal the wizard. Thus, this theory changes nothing that is known (reactive descriptions) but gives a whole new foundational mec…

    Hi everyone, Strange place for me to be. I've written down several theories. The most important one being the 'Multidemensional Field Theory' and the solar-force-model which is an implementation of Ferrier's theorum of nuclear decay. I've had a hard time trying to get anything of these published (met with silence/ignore) and have no idea what to do anymore. These works have been posted on my instagram(esselingruben). Would like to know what you think about them! All are posted here: link removed

  18. "This toy model offers a way to examine relativistic effects from a fresh angle, one that may provide insights into scaling transformations beyond conventional interpretations I see where you're coming from, and I really appreciate your perspective on this. My goal with this thought experiment isn’t to challenge established relativistic principles but rather to explore a conceptual model where we examine time dilation and scaling effects in a controlled framework. I think it brings up some interesting implications about how we interpret time as both an absolute and relative measure. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether you see any interesting takeaways from this set…

  22. If matter shrinks, there must be a reason for that. Some constant would have to vary for this to happen. The “Shrinking Matter Theory with Variable Speed of Light” (SMT-VSL) presents all necessary behavior for that. This is an alternative theory of the evolution of the universe, which considers the possibility of the evolution of matter over time, which allows the variation of parameters that we consider constant, but that can vary so slowly over time, which is difficult in our lifetime we notice any change. The two main constants that govern the behavior of the universe are the speed of light and Planck's constant. In this Theory we are considering the possibility …

  24. A Speculative Model of Time as a Fractal Matrix: Implications for Gravity and Quantum PhenomenaIntroductionIn mainstream physics, time is often treated as a passive parameter—a scalar dimension alongside space. However, what if time is an active, structured entity that fundamentally shapes physical phenomena? This post proposes a speculative model where time is a fractal matrix, influencing gravity and quantum effects through its non-uniform density. While unconventional, this hypothesis aims to spark discussion and invites rigorous critique to explore its potential. We present the model, its mathematical foundation, and testable predictions, encouraging the scientific co…
