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.

    When we see that Magnetism rationally flows parallel with its current, not irrationally encircling it, which is the illusion that Copernicus’s compass conjured, then logical reasons manifest for electromagnetic phenomena. Amidst the restructure we loose Maxwell’s ridiculous interpretation of a polarized electromagnetic wave and its butterfly graphic image, because all the wave is now one plane polarized. Moreover the reader will see how, since the electromagnetic transverse vectors are in sync then one can be redundant and that turns out to be the electric vector. After a few wavelengths the wave becomes purely magnetic.

    I am not going to begin a new debate here, but I just want to note that 2 days ago the Journal of Cosmology began a new volume, the first in 3 years, based on my model, as discussed here in other threads: Vol. #27, "Time Dilation Cosmology in the Evolving SpaceTime/Quantum Continuum: General Relativity & the Hubble Shift".

    Thought Experiment - We sent a radio wave signal to a craft we have launched that is near Mars that takes 13 minute to be received telling the craft to turn on a light. How much longer then 13 minutes does it take us to see the light?

    Evolution is the survival of the fittest but is our modern ecosystem really the result of survival of the fittest or survival of the luckiest? Most of the real changes in the biodiversity of the planet resulted from mass extinctions caused by everything from flood lava flows to asteroid impacts are they the real causes of the success of the animals we have now? Even if that is true would modern animals compete well with the best of the lost ages of the Earth? If you could take a snapshot of the entire biosphere every million years for the last 500 million years and combine them all at once would modern animals win out or would they face some real challenges an…

    If Venus was swapped into the orbit of Mars and Mars was moved to the orbit of Venus would Venus cool down to the temps Mars has now or would Venus remain hot? Right now Venus's atmosphere is "at the surface" a supercritical fluid. If it cooled down to the Temp of Mars wouldn't the CO2 freeze out and make Venus a ball of dry ice? Or would the greenhouse effect keep Venus very hot?

Not only are we born a magician -- something the Education system does everything to hide -- but our magic, White Magic, is just as powerful as the FRB's Black-Magic that creates Debt out of thin air. The proof of these magical powers comes with three questions the banks/agencies can NEVER answer -- if they did then it would destroy not only the whole banking system but the whole US Corporation: If a Bank or agency claims that there is debt then three questions will work as White Magic that MUST vanish the debt because it can never be real debt but ONLY claimed debt: ONE: what is the Account Number TWO what is the name of that account number THREE: what is …

    I am working on a model approach that follow the loop quantum theory and I try to expand the theory to basic structures and their behavior. As I am ongoing on my work, I made some observations that I am not sure if there is any paper or scientific articles about it. So I would appreciate if there are some advises or comments about. Eventually links to related topics. Mathematization of existing models is expected. The differentiation between theoretical mathematical models and real physical models become obsolete. Which means, with the approach of theories to exactness , it will become possible to express them with only mathematical terms without any use of consta…

    Hello, my name is Spencer Sandlin I'm a student at a local community college here in Alabama. I have a theory on Junk DNA that I'd like to run by you guys to see if it has been offered and also what you think on the subject so here goes. I came up with this idea when I took basic biology at Wallace and my teacher didn’t understand it and told me to contact you guys. I believe everything in the human body has a purpose now as to rather or not we understand it is another matter. Everything has a flow so to speak another words if something breaks down in one system it will affect another. I believe that same philosophy is very much so true in regards to our …

  12. This post is not an ads for my book (book title has been deleted for good faith). This post is just to challenge your brain to look again at the facts of the physics world. The book, in the form of a sci-fi story, tries to focus the reader on the intellectual challenge about the atom. The story, in the mentioned form and with positive assumptions, describes a solution to the dark points of the science of physics (the theory of everything). I hope that I do not violate the laws of the site and that the respected readers will deal with it solely as a challenge and discussion. main file.pdf

    I have no formal or official qualification, nor do I claim that these statements are facts. I use this as a central idea to explain a lot of Wacky stuff, so I should start here as a basis for some of my other topics. The best takeaway statements are emboldened for all you skimmers out there. Dimensions are pretty cool. I'm gonna assume you understand and are very familiar with 2 and 3 dimensions. 1 dimension? That's kinda scary, 1 finite point with no area or volume. Anyway... The core concept is: interaction. As you hold the device you're using, you're physically interacting with it... in 2 and 3 dimensions. Do you feel your device? Yeah okay that explains…

    I came to the conclusion that the source of energy for the expansion of the Universe is the compression of matter in galaxies, primarily when matter is absorbed by black holes. This compression of matter leads to an increase in gravitational binding energy in those places where matter is compressed. The law of conservation of energy requires that this increase in binding energy be compensated by something, and it can only be compensated by a decrease in the gravitational binding energy between these centers of mass concentration by increasing the distances between them. The greater the distance between galaxies, the greater the absolute increase in the distance between th…

  15. Unobserved waves are unphysical, but ones with state change experience duality and get spacetime involved. Observation doesn't always mean Quantum Observation. What matters is if a state change happens. State is a binary physicality variable. I'm now questioning if it's even necessary to declare observation is involved in the double slit. It's accepted that observation means measurement ..but all the experiment cares about is a waves state change while its moving (and is allowed to continue moving). Observation would just be something that occurred after the experiment was over. It didn't influence the outcome. A wave would never reach something able to change its state …

I want to know why falling through space time would get me to an earlier to later time as derived from a science fiction idea. https://backtothefuture.fandom.com/wiki/Space-time_continuum "The space-time continuum consisted of all years in the past to an unknown point, perhaps the 4-digit limit set by the time machine itself." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Spacetime "To say that the four-dimensional continuum "exists now" implies that all cross sections "exist now" or, in other words, that the cross section t = t0 is identical with the cross-section t = t1. Otherwise, it could not exist "now."…

  17. A speculation on CMBR : The CMBR may be Doppler (red) shifted light from receding superluminal galaxies. Due to the high relative velocity of some galaxies, Doppler effect can cause visible light to be shifted down to microwave frequencies. This theory may also explain the cosmic x-ray background radiation, which is proposed to be Doppler (blue) shifted light from approaching superluminal galaxies. My paper is found on Vixra: “Can the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation be Doppler Shifted Light from Receding Superluminal Galaxies ? “

    I'm thinking of using a type of radio wave to purge the bug on this island. Only the harmful ones like mosquitoes or crockroaches. I got this idea from crispr where they are thinking of using crispr to make mosquitoes extinct, unfortunately I've never read that article, just read the title. Then I bought a bottle of repellant that is supposed to help against mosquitoes. Anyway, let me know if you got any bug purging ideas. https://www.electroschematics.com/3864/ultrasound-and-insects/

  19. I get around the something from nothing paradox, by postulating that there could never be a "nothing". Before the big bang and any lead-up to it, a void must have been present. However, this void contained a default bit of information, namely that the was "one void", thus giving this void it's fundamental structure of the "one", as an early identifier, giving us a math based reality versus one built upon some other self organizing principle.

    what if two black holes should collide directly, and not merge by orbiting each other, but directly merge? If this were possible to occur, what would a signal to LIGO look like, and would the energy of a direct merger be equivalent to a normal rotational merger energy release? Thanks.

  23. Well, when we think about consciousness, we think of animals and bugs. Brain as big as a whale's brain or as small as an ant. But does the number of neurons matter for consciousness or is consciousness more of an on off switch determined by a single cell? The thing is, when the consciousness region of the brain, specific to that of the brain stem. If that region is bigger, people seem to have a higher level of cognition compare to animals or insects with a smaller brain. And then you would poke around that consciousness region of the brain trying to figure out if there is an on off switch, but then you realized that the entire region is consciousness itself. That it is on…

    We agree that our DNA defines our body shape including the brain. Therefore, the core of the brain, brain stem(consciousness) and other core structures are defined in the DNA in letters. After we are born, we start to gain brain plasticity that forms the memory, therefore the memory is not defined in the DNA letters.
