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.

    I noticed that tap water is smooth to drink, but I don't like the chlorine aspect of it, although chlorine makes it smooth to drink. I believe there is an atomic substitute that would be good to replace chlorine once the chlorine treats the bacteria, it can evaporate and the new molecule substitues. You can see how chlorine salt affects soil, it makes the soil larger balls, and decreases the surface area, so it's an antifractal, chlorine is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038080616300099.

    Could an object around the size of Ceres or even the size of the Moon achieve a stable orbit around the Earth along with our own moon? Would some sort of orbital resonance make this possible?

  3. Quantum objects are not large enough to inhabit spacetime. When a particle is in a state that can only be described as math ..it is not part of spacetime. If something was tiny and didn't inhabit spacetime ..I'd say it would probably do quantum weird things. The math says the physical object remains 3D when in superposition, so the only avenue left to detach is spacetime. In math, it is waves, in reality, it has lost a dimension. Something that has lost a dimension is crazy to us. What is the Uncertainty Principle telling us? Is it saying the power of observation/measurement of a quantum object is not enough to make it a genuine 3D + 1 space-time object? If something…

    Is the universe still accelerating? Sometimes I read articles that argue against it, so I'm not totally sure anymore! But if it is, I have a conjecture that might explain it. It is based on quantum fluctuation. (1) I might not be the first to think of it, and (2) it might be mathematical impossible, but here goes: Quantum fluctuation is (as far as I know) considered a come-and-go phenomena. Hello, goodbye. 2 - 2 = 0. But what if it leaves a vacuum? A tiny tiny vacuum? If so, there must be gazillions of tiny vacuums made every second. Speeding up the cosmos? (Sorry if this is wrongly placed! Feel free to move it to Speculation if needed.)

  5. ‘Mental Momentum’ is a collection of ideas about mind and brain. I treat thinking as a perpetual flow of thoughts to study where they come from and where they will go to. There'll be short essays reflecting on how our brain tackles the commonalities and oddities of everyday life. Hope you’ll find them interesting. LINKS DELETED Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

  6. Now I am not a creationist, but I have a bit of different view, this is because believe I have a framework for a theory of everything. Now I could be wrong, fair enough, but if I am right, there is going to be a paradigm shift in physics and a dramatic reinterpretaion of the cosmos. Now we once believed the sun revolved around the earth, it is easy to think that, it feels like there earth is not moving and the sun looks like it travels across the sky. You could forgive early folk for making this mistake. It looks like the sun is going round the earth so they modelled it that way, they assumed it was that way. The thing is, someone came along and said this is not corr…

  7. The two sides of the coin run perfectly fine on their own. My point is that when we zoom into a large object, those atoms bonded together are not going to display quantum weirdness. If we separated a single atom from that object, I claim that atom has become 2D, but is 3D while we are observing it. So to unify, we can write an equation that says Relativity is 3D and QM is 2D or less. Quantum field theory and Quantum Electrodynamics obviously haven't unified the two yet because we get guys like this still saying they are not unified, from a couple days ago (see the 3:10 mark) https://youtu.be/dW7J49UTns8?t=190

  8. "Blessed is he who believes". Do not substitute physics for mathematics. Any matter has some limiting resource, which we call "energy" (or "mass"). Therefore, if matter creates a gravitational field, then it cannot be infinite. I am sure that you make a mistake by comparing gravity with electromagnetic waves (or light), since we can screen electromagnetic waves, but gravity cannot. For example, according to the theory that I develop, the gravitational fields of the big planets of the Solar system reach the Sun. Therefore, the orbits of these planets are close to a circle. But the gravitational fields of small objects of the Solar system (asteroids, plutoids, and also …

  9. Nothing is unstable. If you try to quantize nothing, you will find that anything less than the Planck Units of spacetime would still be considered nothing, since it has no detectable influence on the universe. A point-like particle at rest could exist inside of the Planck Units of spacetime and still be considered nothing, because it would have no mass and energy. There would be nothing to compare it's frame of reference to, so it could assume that it is traveling at any constant speed due to relativistic theory. Therefore, it could then have mass and energy in another reference frame. It could then interact with itself in time-like loops due to being in a state of s…

  11. this cannot be called a theory (its not even a very educated guess). if you know of pilot wave theory, you might know that people have found a flaw. but the same person that came up with pilot wave theory came up with an alternative theory that is similar but (as far as anyone can tell) predicts the same outcome as standard quantum mechanics (except entanglement) here is a link to an essay that explains all of this. so I decided to expand it and found a bit of irony. imagine that the probability wave is controlled by an actual physical wave that travels through a medium that we cannot detect (to bring old terms back I will call it the Aether) this Aether wo…

  12. Hello people... I am a new addition to this forum, which may become plainly obvious from the predicted mistakes I will make during my first few posts . I should first state that I do not posses any scientific qualifications. But I have been a passionate armature astronomer for the past 13 years, and do retain a "little" scientific knowledge from attending upon several OU modules in past years. I am here because several years ago, I formulated a correlation hypothesis related to the detection of pre-seismic locations, which in many cases led to determination being made up to 30 days prior to seismic occurrence. I have been testing my hypothesis on several US predict…

  13. The question appeared while we were discussing emegence and realized(again) how deeply it is embedded in Nature. Could Energy be a result of a process?(like Space expansion) I think Energy can pop to existence but can not disappear. Would such a function violate the Energy conservation law or generally the Laws of Nature?

  14. You've probably read my other post below. And here focuses on the idea of optogenetics. To being with, I will post a video on the introduction of optogenetics. Now this baby only activates or deactivates neurons. The real work for our focus lies in modify the dendrites and the synapses, therefore we could change the rhodopsin structure to match our needs. The video below shows the structure of the rhodopsin channel. So by modifying the G receptor, we will introduce 4 pathways. One pathway increases the number of dendrites, one pathway decreases the number of dendrites, one pathway uses glutamate to modify activation of the synapse, and one pa…

I have been using a relativity program i made in 1997 and have some ideas, I believe massless particles travel along with the actual speed of the expansion of the universe C, , , , the apparent rate of the expanding universe is 44.7387 mile per second per mega parsec, which works out at an actual rate of 99.999999 C here is a screen shot of my program, , , Note the actual speed of .99999997, or 186243 MPS and the apparent speed at the bottom of 64.30355 MPS My twist on Einsteins formula shows 1) how massless particles like photons can travel at light speed 2) That the apparent expansion of the universe is speeding up because the actual speed is slowing d…

  16. Supermassive Black Holes are caused by and necessary for the rapid expansion of the Universe and are proof positive the Universe is expanding faster (and has been from origin) than the, "speed-of-light!" This traveling faster than the speed of light is supposed to be impossible but what is seen and perceived is only relative to this motion system. Our perceptual senses are located in our bodies and our bodies are on this planet going approximately 67,000 mph around the sun and the sun is cruising around the center of the galaxy at about 140 miles per second. The galaxy is hauling across the Universe. We are going places very fast yet we don't notice that motion. All…

    The waters of lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming giant whirlpools. As you know, everything that rotates, including whirlpools, has the property of a gyro (yule) to maintain the vertical position of the axis in space, regardless of the rotation of the Earth. If you look at the Earth from the side of the Sun, the whirlpools, rotating together with the Earth, overturn, due to which the whirlpools precess, and as a result there is a vertical movement of oceanic waters. http://goo.gl/AM5g1s The presented theory can be easily verified by the connection be…

  18. Waters of lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming giant whirlpools. The main reason for the rotation of the whirlpools are, local winds, flowing into the seas and oceans of the river and the deflecting force of Coriolis. And the higher the speed of the winds, the higher the rotation speed of the whirlpools, and as a consequence, the higher the centrifugal force of the whirlpools, thereby raising the level of the waters of the seas and oceans. And the lower the rotation speed of the whirlpools, the lower the water level of the seas and oceans .. The speed of th…

Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences https://vk.com/ioran The wind waves enrich the water with oxygen only to a depth of several tens of meters of the seas and oceans surface, while the whirlpools deliver the water enriched with oxygen to a depth of more than 10 km.

    Dear everyone. I do apologize for coming along and sounding like a real genuine crackpot, this is in no case my intention or situation. If by first glance you will move this post elsewhere, I will edit it a bit to fit it to the forum placement. Thanks in advance Mark Brezina I will keep the initial post short. But I will expand upon it if anyone finds an interest in what I'm bring up. I have come to understand the following 1. It isn't entirely understood how matter behaves. Recently a large number of particles has been discovered, but this produces an ever increasing confusion. The ever increasing number of particles doesn't seem to stop and t…

In calculating escape velocity from a mass gravity force of this mass at infinity is considered to be zero an object has specific amount of kinetic energy starts with the escape velocity from mass and stops at infinity The potential energy is calculated from infinity at which force is equals zero If gravitational force at infinity equals zero then we have a real number "zero" assigned to unreachable quantity "infinity" making it reachable but in fact infinity is unreachable so we can’t assign a zero quantity of gravity for an unreal number quantity which is infinite space. The gravitational field is real and it has an end equals zero there should be an end for i…

    Well , I'm not against GR this is a new view added to GR view of space time curvature of positive and negative attraction concept. Does space exist inside mass m? No since mass m occupied the place of space. Does mass m exist in place of the space I mentioned? No space is nothingness there is not mass occupied in it So mass m occupy space , this space is equivalent to mass m. If mass m occupy space " there is not space in the place of the mass" then mass m causes Non-existence of space in that place If we have to masses M and m they will attract each other This is due to mass m is attracted to non-existence of mass M and mass M is att…

The hypothesis sounds even more than crazy at first. So please keep in mind that many scientific innovations initially sounded blasphemous or even crazy. Also, take into account that the hypothesis is possible AND unique. You will not find it anywhere else, and you yourself, believe me, would never get the idea ... it is just too weird.

    The universe expands! We can all agree on that. Some say that the universe is all there is. So the universe expands into what exactly? What I am trying to figure out is, if there is some sort of void beyond the universe? And if there is, the universe is not all there is, right? Even a void without space, matter and time is still "something". The problem of a universe with no void around it, is that it does not expand. It stretches. And if spacetime stretches, everything grows in size. Including matter. Particles do not change charge or size. If they did, we would be able to see it. So there must be a void out there!
