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.

Long time ago (late 80's), attending a course about relativity at the university, when the Fizeau experiment was presented as an experimental proof for relativity, I thought: "this can be explained in another way, because, clearly, the number of molecules encountered by the ray of light propagating in the same direction as the water stream is smaller than the number encountered by the ray of light opposite to the direction of the water stream", but the course went on, compelling evidence was presented, so I didn't pursue my idea ... until the autumn of 2011, when "faster than light neutrino" news shook relativity. I learned next year that OPERA results were wrong (due to …

Hello, I have a question regarding uniform motion and Special Relativity. How can the first postulate of Special Relativity hold on to inertial frames of references when these three statements have to be accounted for: 1- “In an inertial frame of reference an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.” Newtons first law. 2 - “The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference.” First postulate of Special Relativity. 3- “When the theory matches the facts radiation transfers inertial mass between emitting and absorbing objects” A. Einstein. …

In Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_rotation_curve the flat curves of the observed velocities of stars in the discs of spiral galaxies are presented, which according to physicists, differ significantly from calculated velocities of stars, resulting from the luminous mass of a given galaxy. Such a significant discrepancy between the observed and calculated velocity of stars in spiral galaxies is currently explained in scientific publications, by the alleged presence of an unvisible halo of some mysterious dark matter. For example, in the textbook James B. Hartle "Gravity. An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity " states that…

Hello, my name is Shagrat, and I had taken Earth Science classes at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. At that time, what I had learned in those classes had inspired me to create an alternate Earth, with geographic and geological features different from Earth's but still inspired by them. The problem I have is that I know only the Cause--i.e. the changing of the geography--and not the Effect (how the changes in geography influence landscape, climate and weather). I have the whole description written down, but before I show you the description, if it is not too much trouble, would you be willing to help me with feedback and advice on the changes I had made? Than…

Why is time something and not just a measurement used by intellectual beings? We use it to determine the length of a period in which something exists. On the other hand existence is occupied by all. Existence is all. Time is ours. Existence is predictable. Intelligence agency's use this to predict events and activities using information from the past and present to determine the possible scenarios. So if you can predict the future events with any amount of accuracy you can place yourself ahead of time by time moving and not you. If the period of time is predicted then you can prevent it by creating events prior too the time that you want to change. You can also predict th…

So I was wondering if all the planets have magnetic fields. Then I noticed that the planets with the magnetic field have an atmosphere. As the density of the atmosphere increases so does the magnetic field. What if the movement of the planet and atmosphere are what causes this? Static electricity shows that when matter separates there is an attraction of the electrons and if the matter is correct it will give up an electron. This would be a magnetic attraction between none magnetic material correct? So when something is moving it creates a lower density behind it like drafting. This lower density has less total electrical properties. In electricity the higher the voltage …

Why dont we use science to stop Hurricanes? We make bombs to kill people why cant be make them to save them? If a designer bomb was place in the correct spot at the right time of a hurricanes development, could it be possible to destabilize the pressure balance thats going on in there? The eye is 20 to 40 miles wide when a hurricane is in effect. If an explosion were placed in this low pressure area before it develops how could it continue to develop if the whole reason why its there is now gone. Picture a whirlpool of air. Whirlpools can be caused by how the water swirls around an object. No hurricanes move towards the equator. Instead it appears as if its swirling aroun…

I think I have proven that what's usually accepted as bijection and cardinality is all wrong, and nobody seems to believe me or care.. what should I do ? I know you don't easily reject old accepted ideas, but can you at least really think about it ? First : bijection between two infinite set are not true, they are UNDECIDABLE. When you build a bijection, it is true only when you don't get a new element from one of the sets or both, not just when you can still get elements from the sets. So with 2 infinite set, the bijection is NEVER proven true, because you can always get new elements from both. It just keep infinitely UNDECIDABLE. So you can NEVER prove a bijection…

Recently I was reading about the Carnivore Diet and the various claims people make about it curing depression, ADD, and etc. I do not advocate the Carnivore Diet nor am I on, have ever been on, or am even considering going on the Carnivore Diet. My question is to what extend does our diet, any healthy diet, impact our mind. Obviously inadequate nutrition can impairs brain function but assuming one is adequately nourished with a healthy combination of fat, protein, sugar, salt, vitamins, minerals, and so on how much impact does the source of nutrition have on behavior, personality, and mood? I have found some literature on the subject relating to children but not adults.

Linear Time is a bad hoax consisting of pseudo-scientific theory, and profiteering pseudo-scientists. Linear Time suggests Time is a line, and this is false; yet it's often backed up with pseudo-science about spacetime. A reason why it's wrong is that as soon as we start to walk, we cannot pause if Time was a line, unless the line was to become segmented. If we paused and a line was Time, Time would be more significant than existence, causing non-linear existence to nonexist (instead only a line exists); therefore, Time isn't Linear Time. If we made a right angle turn and a line was Time, it would suggest that Time is a rota…

Things without a start can't exist... its a simple proposition but if it were true, it would clear up some big questions about the universe. First, what do I mean by start? To be specific, for things to exist they must have: - Spacial start point(s). For example, a circle you can choose any point as a spacial start point. Yourself you could choose your feet as start points, etc... - A temporal start point. For example, your date of birth was when you started (roughly speaking) There are no examples of things without starts in the material world I can think of; so we could take that as empirical evidence supporting the proposition. If the …

I want to be the starting or origin of a species of humans that are Gorilla like. I want them to be strong like Gorilla fast like Gorilla and have all the good qualities that Gorilla have. How can I evolve through time to eventually produce Gorilla like humans in the distant future through my sperm. Do I exercise more? Do I eat more? What do I got to and what do my generations of offspring have to do?

My hyphotesis is: our world is made of infinite universes, our universe is only one of the infinite. Big bangs are happening all the time, of course huge distances away from eachother. In the so called cold death of our universe the supermassive black holes (from the local galaxy clusters) continue to travel with huge speeds outwards from the centre of our big bang. In the far future some of them will slowly evaporate, but some of them will inevatibly "collide" and merge with other supermassive black holes from other universes. These merging black holes will grow bigger and bigger until they reach a critical mass which results in a new big bang. And this goes on forever i…

The doppler effect only deals with 'observable' wave behavior. The Austrian physicist Christian Doppler described this phenomenon in 1842. Redshift is often 'defined' as doppler redshift. Cosmological redshift is for example also defined as being due to the doppler effect. In the doppler effect, sound waves are treated the same way as electromagnetic radiation...very odd. There is this 'theory' you can call "Compton redshift" which states that Compton(inelastic) scattering causes Cosmological redshift.

Here is the Video of the Experiment... Here the parts for the reactor and the finished reactor. The cathode after the test, it is from steel. When you want Details for the Experiment you can look here: http://jlnlabs.free.fr/cfr/diycfr/index.htm End at the end, i messeaurd 133 Wh of Output energy and the Input Energy is 141 Wh. So i dont have more Energy, as i put in it.

Hello Everyone! I'm new to the forum and I'd like to pose my first question. Something I have not yet found a good answer to. I'm hoping for some input from geology/chemistry or any other members with relevant knowledge. OK here goes: How long, at least in theory, would it take for the planet to be completely "scrubbed" of all traces of human civilization/activity. In other words, is it possible through the elapse of specific timespan, to never be able to tell that human beings once had a civilization here on earth? Thanks in advance!

Imagine floating on the surface of a very, seemingly infinitly, deep and wide ocean. There are currents in this ocean, but the surface of the water seems to be completely still.The sky is always blue with no clouds, yet you never see the sun. You never feel a breeze nor gust, even when you are propelling yourself forward. Every now and then you see boats and other objects leisurely, drifting past, but nothing seems to leave a wake. Would you know you are moving? Now what if the surface wasn't the ocean but time, and your movement is your movement through time? What if you had a way to anchor? This hypothesis is based on a few ideas: 1) Einstein's Theory of Sp…

Thousands of molecules are in the chemical trash after they have passed the screen of experimentation, losing the category of useful molecules. When we come to biochemistry we find hundreds of favorable molecules whose knowledge has allowed us to solve many personal problems. I feel this concept of favorable molecules as a challenge, something like judo when facing adversity. Could molecules constructed with piracetam, magnesium and fluorine or lorazepam, magnesium and fluoride be biologically useful, for example, in the treatment of cancer? I have no responsibilities in basic research, I just have the duty to know the state of the art in my profession. It's the shar…
