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 intelligent folk, I have been thinking about the formation of the universe and I would like to ask real life eggheads their opinion. I'm no scientist, I'm just a minimally educated every day John Doe. Googling around suggests to me this may be a new idea. Perhaps I'm not describing it right in the search bar; so I'll describe it here at length. My questions are, is this remotely plausible? And is this a new idea? I’m working on a lot of assumptions; If what I'm about to write is ridiculously stupid, I'll write you a check for your 3m back 😉 Some assumptions: The singularity of the big bang would contain within it all the spacetime that expanded from it.…

    Recently started a debate with someone online about a scientific topic that seemingly has almost full support from the worldwide scientific community but, for some reason, is still debated heavily in politics. The topic is, of course, climate change, but I don't want to give anyone a prejudice, since it's both hotly debated and rooted in politics. Anyways, here's the gist of the replies, and I'm suspicious that they're fallacies in one way or another but wanted to get the opinions of others as well: 1. Politicians who support this field of science do things in their personal lives that contradict the legislation they'd like to pass. In other words, one politician …

    I got a video of neuron sprouting. I've also seen a video before about inducing current in an electrical grid wiring and see the neurons grow, but I've long lost this video. I want an example of neuronal dendrites rewired, if not more videos about neuron sprouting and synapse formation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBIa8G3gBH0

    Alright so, both hydra and starfish are capable of complete regeneration. But what would happen if stitch half of hydra and half of starfish together. Here is the below speculation. 1. The hydra and starfish cells fight to the death, each trying to take over the other in cell signaling war and immune response war. 2. The hydra and starfish grows into separate beings without fighting each other, hydra and starfish. 3. Also if you put human cells next to it would it attempt to take over the human cells?

  6. I thought the Journal of the American Mathematical Society might evaluate my proof so I sent it to them. Their secretary said it didn't meet the criteria for an article in their journal so they can't publish it which is quite understandable. It's only 4 lines. It's on Quora, but no one has commented on it. Maybe I should send it to a math professor or two. This is really bazaar; I can't find anything wrong with it. Much work has been done for nearly a century saying what I did is impossible and math is not open to consensus-its either right or wrong. I only considered the case of the possibility of there existing a function to well order the reals. No other way is useful…

    I see the electron cloud as being composed of individual constituents which are virtual (dissipate when separated) oblong and have equal strength magnetic poles which bind them together in linear curving waves. I see this electron cloud as having velocity around the nucleus and being more densely packed closer to the nucleus and less dense with vacuum spaces towards the outer shell limits. I see the electron forming as a vortex would form in water or a tornado in the atmosphere. The bulk of the electron would be the top of the vortex or tornado and that bulk would be responsible for the negative charge and mass of the electron while the positive end of electrons field wo…

  10. The unobserved quantum side doesn't care about time or distance so the order goes something like this: quantum field excitation of a new particle is about to happen it gets assigned a path in the quantum field if the path contains a spacetime enactor (a detector), it swaps the particle to be physical the particle or wave is sent via the quantum field if it's a wave / spacetime if physical

    Hi, I read this article, and I have a theory https://www.zmescience.com/science/physics/physicists-are-a-step-closer-to-a-theory-of-quantum-gravity/ Let me explain : in model, - quantum theory use "virtual particles". In my model : particle are not virtual, but what we call "void" is filled with two kinds of real particles : matter and antimatter (or maybe some other kind of symmetry).. think of it like electric charges in a metal.. you have two opposite charges but they globally cancel out each other. If the void is indeed filled with particles of matter and antimatter interacting, (but ! stable of course, because the high energy of the photons would …

  12. You may think you have evidence of a particle acting as a wave at the same time ..but you don't. You are assuming they are both at the same time because you are not taking observation into account. You wouldn't catch a quantum wave being a wave before it went through a detector (that it was moving towards). The particle is likely pre-set to be physical or a wave before it starts moving. Observation gives one type of result ..a physical one. (unless you messing around with polarizers) . They key to killing duality is pointing out that the final panel of an experiment doesn't count as observation. When you say you can measure wave-like properties, it is derived from that…

    First, are you claiming they are both at the same time or not? What started this assumption? In what world is an electron equivalent to a whole atom? So, I'll take this to mean we haven't tested two unobserved atom matter waves interacting? Oh, we have, but it does the typical thing of a fringe pattern. They don't ever bounce off each other like they were physical at the time. hmmm I'll bite, what does your electron experiment look like? Does it somehow display the electron and wave version at the same time while it propagates on its path? Why would orbitals have anything to do with what I'm asking for? I'm not interested in atoms exchanging electrons. Yo…

  14. Not without a mathematical model. The LCDM doesn't do this but my mathematical model was recently recognized: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24332440-600-quantum-weirdness-isnt-real-weve-just-got-space-and-time-all-wrong/ There's also a plethora of observational data supporting it, CCC as black holes have evaporated in this universe as well as galaxies that lack a central black hole having no dark matter as well as Entanglement and The Eraser and FRBs as white holes corresponding to black holes as well as circumventing the 3 different measurements of the CC by explaining away redshift as simply newly merged extracosmic black holes added at the event hori…

    Teleportation vs time travel both requires the manipulation of space time. Teleportation is like going through space time where time travel is like falling through space time(going in between space time). Is this analogy correct? Or is there other scientific resources relating to this?

    We agree that the smaller the particles the faster it moves? We got photon traveling at the speed of light. And electrons that orbit the atom sometimes even above light speed, speculation. And we further theorized the constitution of electrons, photons, and neutrons making out of quarks. What do you think is the moving speed of these quarks? If quarks do move on the border line of light speed, what does it say about the smallest fundamental particles? Is it a form of energy?

  21. Time doesn't pass in a black hole (past the event horizon) because unobserved quantum waves don't use time. If unobserved quantum waves don't use time, is it a safe bet they are using frequency instead? The quantum field is usually intermixed with spacetime, but apparently it doesn't always have to be.

    I have a theory for discussion that time is created by the expansion of space. I propose that every point of space in the universe is expanding at the speed of light and time as we perceive it is the measurement of the potential to move into the space created. This creates a reality horizon. A physical barrier if you like which is light speed. When you travel in space you are closer to the horizon in the direction you are moving meaning that space in front is effectively expanding slower creating a time dilation for the object in motion. Travelling at the speed of light would mean that space would not be expanding in the direction of travel at all so there woul…

    "Dark" implies something is unobservable. So that's what Dark Matter/Energy are. Dark Energy is the unobservable quantum field. Quantum objects don't use spacetime, but spacetime's gravity can bend the fabric of the quantum field. Dark Matter is matter that normally would convert over to spacetime naturally but doesn't. It's found in abundance as halos around galaxies. Which leads me to believe it's a substance that held together galaxies before spacetime was turned on.

  24. Over the past several years I posted inquiries in this forum a few times as I developed my theory. A few folks were considerate and helpful, in particular Mordred. Most were rude and derisive, so I stopped participating here. My final theory was published today as peer reviewed in the Journal of Cosmology, Vol. 26, #21, at: http://journalofcosmology.com/JOC26/General%20Relativity%20and%20Effects%20in%20Time%20as%20Causation%20JofC.pdf. I would now be interested in non-derisive discussion.......

  25. Just for a minute, think what the collapsing core of a black hole is doing to spacetime. It creates its own space and lots of it. There is vastly more space inside a black hole than it takes up in our universe. Looking from the outside, space is reversed, with more and more space as you approach the center. What this looks like from inside, is that the event horizion is in the center and the initial mass that collapsed is fleeing into outer space. There is a quantum leap at the event horizon. You either go slower than light on this side of the event horizon, or go slower than light on the other side of the event horizon. Time always elapses forward but space reverses. Rel…
