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.

There is speculation that the next new particle discovered will be called the ALB particle. It's properties are best described in terms of colors. Predictions are already abound for the existence of an anti-ALB particle called the ALBino. It is colorless.

The Theory of Gravity Aloysius Sebastian aloysi.aloys@gmail.com Abstract Here I am about to create a new theory of gravity. In this theory I am trying to explain the range of gravity and the gravitational field. With this theory, one can calculate the range of gravitational field of an independent object. Here gravity is not depending upon the mass of a second object. Here gravity is related to the energy of the object. I am not going to replace any previous theories of gravity. Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were made wonderful theories. I am also working with those theories. Inside these theories I have been found a road to explain gravi…

In the program VETER v. 3.0 for verification the theory of relativity, available on the link: LINK DELETED are presented calculations regarding the observation of ticks rate of light clocks in motion. The calculations shown (numerically and graphically) in the "Frequency" and "Time" sheets, clearly prove that is not true the claim of relativity theory, that every two clocks maintaining a constant velocity with respect to each other, will both see (measure) the other as running slow.

We are all aware of the four fundamental interactions of physics. They are called strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity. However there is a fifth force that many have speculated about. The following explanation demonstrates the possibility of the proof of a fifth interaction. The fifth interaction is proven by the precession of the equinox. The precession is a cycle that not many people understand. If you do not know what it is here is a link that describes this cycle: https://www.britannica.com/science/precession-of-the-equinoxes As a result of the precession the seasons begin to occur while the sun is in a different constellat…

This is a new theory describing the states of matter There are states of matter beyond that of plasma -One of these states has yet to be named and is directly a state higher than that of plasma. For now we will call it "Energetic Material." -Energetic Material includes a number of substances. An example of this material includes kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can indeed be labeled as a substance. Like how water is an example of a liquid, kinetic energy is an example of Energetic Material. -Kinetic energy can be held within processes like chemical reactions. It has a quantity and is measured by joules. The state above Energetic Material is "Light."…

Is it possible to create a "superbrain" using modern or near future technology? Something that at least 10 times larger than human brain? Can we create a new race of conscious creatures in this way? Would they be thankful us for their creation? How can we make them good and morally perfect?

THE TIME-FLOW FALLACY Time is described in physics as “what clocks read”; if you asked a scientist to describe what water is in physics and the answer was “what boats float in” you would think s/he was joking, asking the reader to distinguish what a clock reads is actually appealing to his/her everyday use of the word and puts it in that context when as a description in physics it should unmistakably be in a physical or mechanical context. It is this play on words that creates the bias that time flows in the mind of the reader but in doing so makes each reader responsible for the assumption instead of the definition which is a pretty good trick; at first you may thi…

New Invention about Bridge Hands Distribution ! In the Card Game of Bridge 13 cards out of 52 are dealt to a Player. They contain Suits Spades, Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs and each suit may have 0 – 13 cards with all Suits adding to 13 cards in the hand ! We tried to evaluate the total number of Combinations possible and found that the number is 560 ! Varying the numbers from 0 – 13 as the left most number of the Combination [say Spades holding] we got following : I give here the summary : number of combinations with the first spot [Spades] having 0,1,2,...,12,13 & the Cumulative total in the last Column ! 0 …

I understand there's been a lot of research recently on the consequences of fathering children at an older age. From what I've seen most research has shown that the older a guy gets the more mutations happen in the DNA his sperm carries, which has been associated with a greater risk of mental health in offspring. I've seen some people suggest that it's correlation rather than causation with the reasoning, IIRC, that maybe the kind of guys who have children later in life are the kind of guys who have DNA that carries a greater risk of mental problems and that it's THAT that the studies are detecting, not a result of mutations. But this seems to be the minority view, f…

Oh no! Not another simulation thread! There, it's been said. No reason to repeat it Most of you here possess advanced scientific knowledge, so I won't even bother to elaborate the following 10 points in this OP. You should know what I mean. But I would like to discuss and elaborate any of them in this thread, if you want me to. 10 Reasons Why We Are More Likely To Live In A Computer Simulation Than In A Genuine Physical Universe. 1) Quantum Fluctuation 2) The Holographic Nature Of Matter 3) Duality 4) Non-locality 5) Bostrom's Argument 6) C 7) Sommerfeld's Constant 8) Universal Mathematical Structures 9) Computer Codes In Strin…

Hello everyone,If my quantum number is 0 or 1 at the moment of measurement.Would an AI be able to know if it's 1 or 0 before the measurement?If yes the instantaneous transmission would be possible.A human brain can predict the 0 or the 1 before the measurement if it is too lucky.I do not see why a network of neurons would not be able to imitate a human brain that is too lucky.In any case, know that luck comes from the brain of a network of neurons.

Hello, my name is Doug Fisher, author of the recently released Advertising removed by moderator The first half of Maps, Myths & Paradigms analyzes ancient maps and along the way delves into Plato's detailed geographical description of Atlantis. While I had discovered a location that matched the scale and layout of Plato’s Atlantis, the observation by no means validated the site as the true location nor confirmed that the fabled civilization actually ever existed. Still, Plato’s description of two continents beyond the Mediterranean—Atlantis and a second large continent opposite a path of islands—is a remarkably accurate description of the Americas and the …

Okay, basically over the past, oh well to state the truth over the last few years. In my sleep when I'm actually dreaming I know I see these little short things/images of like something that involves me. After I wake up I can barly remember the details of the dream/vision. Okay a few weeks or months later the event that I saw in my sleep/dreams occurs and like that I remember I saw it in my dreams a while back. What do you call this? What does this mean? Does this relate to the sub mind? This good or bad for my health? This occurs for me like every month, recently its up as in so far I think about over 4+ visions came true.... *I wish …

Hi guys, Many of the theories about the fundamentals of space I know of always seemed kind of incomplete or to focussed on specific parts of it. Some simply don't "feel" right to me. So over last couple of years I have been thinking a lot about my own kind of "theory of everything". I call it the liquid quantum space (as you probably already have guessed :-D). Before you dig into it or respond to my post - no I'm not a physisist, and no, the theory is not yet complete. Many things here might seem weird/wrong or misplaced. But that is exactly why I post this here - to get feedback about what you like, what is unclear or even to propose experiments that could…

If a person could be shrunk a-la Ant Man, how small could they get before their lungs and/or blood would be incompatible with the air? I would have to assume that their red blood cells shrank at a similar ratio and could get small enough to not hold oxygen properly?

1)Mathematics/science end in contradiction-an integer=a non-integer. When mathematics/science end in contradiction it is proven in logic that you can prove anything you want in mathematics ie you can prove Fermat's last theorem and you can disprove Fermat's last theorem http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/wp-content/uploads/All-things-are-possible.pdf The paper proves 1 is a finite number it stops A finite decimal is one that stops, like 0.157 A non-finite decimal like 0.999... does not stop when a finite number 1 = a non-finite number 0.999.. then maths ends in contradiction another way 1 is an integer a whole number 0.888... is a non-integ…

So apparently Hawking radiation happens when pairs of virtual particles are created on an event horizon and one of the pair falls into the event horizon while the other flies away, somehow taking mass with it. If there were a way to create more such virtual particles at the event horizon, would the black hole then evaporate faster? Are there any other vaguely realistic ways of destroying black holes?

Gödel’s 1st theorem is meaningless as Godel cant tell us what makes a maths statement true SPMA LINK DELETED Gödel’s 1st theorem states a) “Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete. In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250) note "... there is an arithmetical statement that is true..." In other words there are true mathematical statements which cant be proven But the fact is Godel cant tell us what mak…

Godel's 2nd theorem ends in paradox Godel's 2nd theorem is about SPAM LINK DELETED "If an axiomatic system can be proven to be consistent and complete from within itself, then it is inconsistent.” But we have a paradox Gödel is using a mathematical system his theorem says a system cant be proven consistent THUS A PARADOX Godel must prove that a system cannot be proven to be consistent based upon the premise that the logic he uses must be consistent . If the logic he uses is not consistent then he cannot make a proof that is consistent. So he must assume that his logic is consistent so he can make a proof of the impossibility of proving a system t…

Godels theorem is invalid as his G statement is banned by an axiom of the system he uses to prove his theorem SPAM LINK DELETED a flaw in theorem Godels sentence G is outlawed by the very axiom he uses to prove his theorem ie the axiom of reducibiilty AR -thus his proof is invalid http://www.enotes.com/topic/Axiom_of_reducibility russells axiom of reducibility was formed such that impredicative statements were banned but godels uses this AR axiom in his incompleteness proof ie axiom 1v and formular 40 and as godel states he is useing the logic of PM ie AR "P is essentially the system obtained by superimposing on the Peano axioms the logic of PM[ …

what if we are looking at this all wrong, what if time is not a fragment broken into pieces. Time is not absolute and we all know that, but the real question is how it changes and why. imagine two identical balls with different masses but of the same shape and size. one is having a mass of 5kg and the other with 20kg, they are rolled on the ground to reach a distance of 5 meters using the same force, note that they all may reach the distance but not at the same time which changes their velocities becaus…

So, first off, full disclosure. I'm a Flat Earther. I am well-aware of all the preconceptions that comes with, I can only promise that I am not the stereotype and hope my actions live up to that. (Honestly I'm compelled to mention that most of the time the stereotypical closed-mindedness is simply a reaction to being met with bad arguments; to take one cliche there are some that believe the Earth is a disc accelerating upwards at 9.8m/s2 as an explanation for gravity, not a belief I hold, and the most common response to that is that we should have reached the speed of light by now, even though relativistic velocity addition does not work that way. It is too common for dis…

I had a read of most of the comments & am disappointed, i havent learnt much. The main topic seems to be whether GWs need a medium to propagate -- the answer is in the question -- it cant propagate without a medium. And swansont's comment that em radiation doesnt need a medium is a worry -- it reminds me that standard science continually confuses photons with em radiation -- hencely bringing in em radiation can only confuse rather than clarify. The main side issue seems to be whether GW's & gravity add to the gravity field. I thort that Einstein said yes. In which case the addition must introduce a kind of almost never ending process of addition that sooner o…
