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 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/

  3. 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.

  7. 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…

    Hi, When selecting a potential mate, as a man, is it preferable to prioritize athletic ability, intelligence or beauty if you're potential future partner can only be exceptional in one of these (and average in the other two)? What do you think and what's your opinion from a scientific perspective? Edit: Also, I'm talking about exclusively monogamous and heterosexual relationships here. Thanks, Tanone_Hari

    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.

    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?

  15. 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…

  19. 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 …

  21. 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…

    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?
