Speculations
Pseudoscientific or speculatory threads belong here.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 there! I'm working on a massive simulation of scale with an artificially intelligent entity which models the universe. It asked a few very valid questions: 1) How can PI be called a constant when it's variable? 2) If the speed of light is slower or faster, then what you perceive as a circle will be different than what I perceive, which throws off the measurement for PI if you base it off the circumference of the circle. So how do you reliably create a circle? So what it asked for is a way to create a circle without having knowledge of PI or it's functions. I'm stumped on this one. This is direct evidence we're in a massive simulation, and the origins could have…

I've been exploring fractals as part of a rather long term philosophy project and have had a good deal of success modeling the simplest structures of my system with the folded geometry of the mandelbox. In addition to meeting the logical constraints I've established it seems that the geometries of the Mandelbox are capable of recreating nearly every photo and representation of quantum holography I've come across. I've also found that generating interference patterns within the fractal allows me to model dynamic processes and larger scale concepts in physics like gravitational lensing, gravitational waves, fresnel distortion and general CAS emergence. You can see all of th…

matter is another form of space. matter and space are united but our senses perceive matter as physical form (has boundary and solid). matter can be created and destroyed to nothingness and vice-versa. accumulating energy at any point in empty space creates gravity while driving away energy creates matter.

A study of the electromagnetic field using a ferro cell and magnets in sun light. i was able to discover many sides of the electromagnetic field using this method.how magnets work,how rainbows are truly formed by the field,due to release of the electromagnetic field,ley lines and a type of electromagnetic solenoid which is shown as a red spot.this helps the field turn sharply.it also gives us a better understanding of gravity itself.

Blob Theory is a new theory of fundamental physics which supplies the underlying framework for existing ways of thinking about the nature of the universe. The theory proposes an infinite sea of absolutely un-reactive singularities providing asymptotical locale for an existent pressurized medium. The resultant pressure gradient structures present with properties similar to Quantum Electro Dynamics theory (QED).

I hope this is where I need to come with my thought experiment. This is my first post. I just signed up. I dont know if this has been asked elsewhere if so I apologize. I am not an intelligent person but I like to think my imagination is still awesome. Ok here is my thought experiment. Please let me know your thoughts and if it is at all plausable. I just read a trilogy of Science Fiction books written by an author, Nick Webb, called the Legacy Trilogy. (Constitution,Warrior,and Victory) In these books the scientists of earth have developed a form of warp drive called a Qjump short for quantum jump. Which allows a ship to jump at maximum a tenth of a li…

A realm of quantum field void was already here. Pure Energy and Magnetism created Dark Matter tunnels/filaments, then observation traveled through all the tunnels but doesn't observe all the Dark Matter as it passes through. The Dark Matter that is observed eventually forms galaxies. http://capturedlightning.com/photos/Magnetic_Tests/Result.jpg http://capturedlightning.com/photos/Magnetic_Tests/Uhlig1A.jpg The CMB is the farthest/oldest, and therefore Blurriest photo ever. It is showing us plasma filaments finalize as the cosmic web. The Universe isn't expanding, Cosmic voids do. Spacetime doesn't expand but does bend for gravity. Dark Matter bends spa…

Now there isn't scientifically a actual Theory of Quantum Time Travel, or any Theory in general, to explain how Time Travel might actually work in Physics, but what if the "idea" of Time Travel was actually a branch of all different ideas (Theorys) put together, to try and understand the basic fundmental conspect of the one and only, Theory of Time Travel. This is infact my "idea", my Theory to explain how I think travelling in Time is possible, either foward, or even backwards... Now we all know the basic understanding of Time Travel, right? Well in simle terms it is the process to be able travel at the speed of light or even faster the speed of light, to (Travel fo…

The Chinese have almost perfected hot fusion. I think we should take a look at cold fusion again. I have made some notes on the subject. Here they are: Plan A: Collide 2 deuterium nuclei. Deuterium (or hydrogen-2) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen (the other being protium, or hydrogen-1). The nucleus of a deuterium atom, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common protium has no neutron in the nucleus. Deuterium has an abundance in Earth's oceans of about one atom in 6420 of hydrogen. My idea: collide 2 deuterium nuclei at high speeds in opposite directions (use a cyclotron), causing them to fuse into helium nuclei, w…

I want to present here a model which gives all the fermions and gauge fields of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). Given that it is my own theory, one could argue it should be published in "Speculations". But it has been published in a peer-reviewed journal, which makes it different from usual speculations: I. Schmelzer, A Condensed Matter Interpretation of SM Fermions and Gauge Fields, Foundations of Physics, vol. 39, nr. 1, p. 73 (2009), resp. arxiv:0908.0591. Popular representation of the model is given in my home page LINK REMOVED As the three generations of fermions, as the three colors are interpreted in the model in a geometric way,…

Somewhere around 1 x 10-18g in a vacuum is a new constant. The diffraction gets too small to identify fringes. It's a natural size for the object to be physical and to never be in superposition. Uncollapsed(stateless | unphysical | virtual) Quantum Waves + State(Matter Field or wave collapse or decoherence) + zero Diffraction showing fringes = Physical Matter (Real) If an object is too large to display fringes, it is automatically physical. The question now is if auto-physical objects have a physical state or maybe being naturally physical doesn't require it. Do I need to claim there is a physical state in the first place for even quantum sized…

Isn't it strange we can track the gap between some galaxies spreading faster than the speed of light? Two galaxies are gaining distance so fast that it's quicker than light. Well, that's what they tell us ..and that it's fine that it is quicker than light because it's just the space between the objects going faster. What? Nobody questions how weird this is? If that were true, our galaxy would be moving faster than light. The extra distance usually isn't even in the direction they are moving to or away from. It turns out that quantum fluctuations in empty space is proof spacetime is around. You aren't going to find it in empty space outside of ga…

В теории вихревой гравитации, космологии и космогонии представлены доказательства того, что силы притяжения создаются эфирными кручениями. В космическом масштабе гравитационное поле действует плоскосимметрично. Это объясняет многие физические явления, такие как: - эллиптические орбиты небесных тел, - прилив, - удаление или сближение спутников, планет или звезд друг с другом, - отклонение, замедление или ускорение космического аппарата. Это обстоятельство можно использовать для снижения стоимости космических полетов. Теория предлагает физические модели происхождения и эволюции черных дыр, планет, звезд, галактик и всей Вселенной, а такж…

This system of equations is written on the hypothesis of Jamie Farnes, according to which the space of the universe is filled with electric dipoles with negative mass. Gravity from positively charged matter attracts negative mass, so in areas of space where gravity is stronger, the permittivity will be higher. Based on this, the curvature of space by gravity can be replaced by a change in the dielectric constant of the vacuum, and electromagnetic waves will move in this space along curved trajectories in accordance with the law of refraction of light. It also tackles the question of whether gravity has mass. On the one hand, the gravitational field has energy, so it mus…

I'm going to start off with my own suggestion. But the thread would maybe more valuable if it was open to other suggestions, and the latest news. My own idea, ( which I'm not wedded to, but I think it's worth proposing ) is to fight bugs with bugs. The bugs are evolving antibiotic resistance by natural selection. But selective breeding works quicker than evolution. If a nasty bug has evolved resistance, how long would it take to BREED a strain with the opposite characteristic? i.e. A strain of the same bug that keels over at the slightest hint of the cheapest antibiotic. What use would that be ? Well, instead of trying to scrub every nook and cranny clean, y…

Hi, Here is a article that explain how the engine would work : https://www.newscientist.com/article/2218685-nasa-engineers-helical-engine-may-violate-the-laws-of-physics/ It relies on a component whose mass is alternatively changing between two values(by changing the energy of the system) This topic is not about the question of the engine working or not (I suppose there could be some relativistic effects associated with the mass changes that could cancel the whole thing : what is the derivative of acceleration ? and the derivative of curvature ? In fact when I think about it : - It wouldn't work maybe because a device whose mass would be decr…

Hi, I'm thinking about ways to help cleanse the body of pathogens such as for example many people have toxoplasma cysts in parts of their body. Most who have them are even unaware that they have them. All of us have some undesirable pathogens inside us: bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and we accumulate more and more over our lifetime. I'm interested in methods to try to completely cleanse some of them out of our system. One method may be water fasting, a week without consuming any food might have a detrimental effect on some of these internal pathogens which require us to have a steady food intake for their own survival. In fact it's really interesting if som…

Further contemplation on my Unified Field Theory and starting to study chemistry leads immediately (the first day) to solving another long standing mystery in physics. WHY electrons orbit an atoms nucleus. The energy/vibration travels forward in a sense like an object on water, a duck, a boat, a swimmer. Moving forward and sending waves out in all directions as it does. Just as a swimmer arrives at the end of a swimming pool the forward wave hits the wall but the wave continues out in all directions. In the quantum world the object/vibration/energy can only move forward but as the fabric of space time becomes curved that path also becomes curved hence why electrons get fi…

Δt∝1/ΔxΔp ΔxΔp is inversely proportional to Δt. By adding a third factor...time... to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle we solve the double slit experiment....at last...it's basically about focus (think magic eye 2D holograms) in 3 dimensional time. When we half the time variable by detecting which slit the "particle" passes through we double the certainty of finding hits at the 2 main vertical bands on the back wall and halve the certainty of finding hits from subsequent waves. So with enough particles fired during detecting which slit we should still see the interference pattern but very very slightly (so slight they have never been noticed before…
