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.

    Michealson - Morley experiment revisited Visible light is electromagnetic wave. Light traveling from air than through the glass and back in to the air gets refracted . Light refraction, the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, is explained by the interaction between photons and electrons in the material. Photons, the particles of light, are absorbed by electrons in the material, which then emit new photons, effectively delaying the passage of the light. This process contributes to the change in light speed and direction observed during refraction. The mirror is usually made of glass with thin layer of aluminum applied to surface of the glass. Thi…

  2. In Einstein's theory of general relativity, the interior metric or interior fluid solution, is an exact solution to the Einstein field equations and Einstein-Maxwell equations that describes the gravitational field and the space-time geometry in the interior of a non-rotating or rotating neutral or charged spherically symmetric body of mass M, which consists of an incompressible fluid and constant density throughout the body and has zero pressure at the surface and that the electric charge and angular momentum of the mass may be zero or non-zero, and the universal cosmological constant is zero. For a non-zero charged mass, the metric takes into account the Einstein-Maxwel…

  3. Has there ever been an instance when AI has given you an answer that leaves a lot to be desired? It would be an interesting exercise to ask a non-trivial question in your discipline of choice to a reputed AI engine, and see how the answer improves with time, as the case may be. In this case I've used Google's AI module, which might not be the best. Here's my question, the answer, and what I think is wrong with it (O, for "objection"): Q: Is gravity's strength scale-dependent? A: No, the strength of gravity is not scale-dependent in the way that a small object experiences significantly different gravity than a large object. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that…

  4. In Einstein's theory of General Relativity, the exterior metric or exterior metric solution, is an exact solution to the Einstein field equations and Einstein-Maxwell equations that describes the metric space-time geometry in the exterior of a non-rotating or rotating neutral or charged spherically symmetric metric, and that the electric charge and angular momentum of the metric may be zero or non-zero, and the universal cosmological constant is zero. For a non-zero charged metric, the metric takes into account the Einstein-Maxwell field energy of an electromagnetic field within the space-time geometry. The space-time geometry is in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. A wormhole…

    Quarks are bound together by strong nuclear force Fs=10e4N The up quark has a mass of 3.56 x10e-30And down quark has a mass of 8.9x10e-30kg. The size of quarks is calculated to be 10e-19m. Average distance between quarks is 0.8x10e-15 m. The minimum and maximum distance between two quarks quarks is created by gluons . Now: At what distance between quarks the gravitational force Fg=Fs strong force ? Gravitational force formula Fg=Gxm1xm2/re2 From this formula we can calculate that distance between up and down quark is r=4.6x10e-33m and gravitational force Fg =Fs If two forces have the same value in the same distance - could it be that both forces have the same origin?…

  6. Hello. I have studied and read wide for years and have a good theory about the nature of dark energy, and recently because I found good use from ChatGPT to compliment only got the inspiration to post things for people to hopefully think different and have another perspective and description to further understand astrophysics and to higher definition. I put a rough set of some questions using a ChatGPT custom made PDF here for someone that would want to see themselves what we find for each topic. I am not a professional physicist and mathematician. I am completely cognizant of this as a post for modern science and in no way am trying to make religion the center, and will b…

    Hi, my name is Sean Blanchette and I'm new here. One of the hardest things to get across how a new model for physics re-defines all observations built on the model it replaces. In other words, models of the universe are used to build an understanding by being the basis of the observations made and as such, a new model requires reinterpretations of old observation data or new observation data need to be created with the new model as their basis. So holding two model as one model, quantum and particle, is like drinking chi tea when 'chi' is 'tea'... you're only allowed to pick one as there is only one universe everything that exists is apart of. So if I say that the Solid U…

    I have been thinking about my Unified Spacetime Theory for more than 20 years, and just recently decided to use AI to turn my ideas into equations. Originally, back in 2001, I submitted a paper to the Physical Review D, and attempted to get published way back then. However, I was untrained, and there were no equations, lol. For 20+ years I've only had a strong vision about the nature of the Universe. I can't do the math, but I have trained a custom GPT, that started with simply my ideas, and once AI got good enough, I used it to turn my ideas into equations. I guarantee that the math and logic of UST is top knotch, no ad hoc terms, parameters or equations are used. The or…

  11. Hello everyone, I’ve recently published a preprint proposing a theoretical reformulation of the electromagnetic (EM) vacuum. The idea is to treat the EM vacuum, within standard QED and canonical quantization, as a globally pure Gaussian state that is locally mixed due to entanglement with inaccessible modes. The vacuum is considered not just as a formal background, but as a physically structured and accessible quantum state. The framework introduces a model-independent impurity parameter p (no assumed microscopic mechanism), which leads to falsifiable operational consequences: specifically, a uniform elevation in quadrature noise detectable by homodyne detection, and a fi…

  12. Theory of the Last Broadcast Some SETI researchers and writers have speculated that rare, unexplained space radio signals (like the 1977 Wow! signal) might be the “last transmissions” of dying alien civilizations. In this view, a collapsing society might broadcast an SOS or farewell message in its final moments. To evaluate this idea, we survey documented one-time signals, their shared features, expert commentary on “dying civilizations” signals, and analogous human cases (emergency beacons, black boxes) along with relevant SETI speculation and science fiction.

    INTRO This system is nothing more than dimensional analysis: Distance, Mass, Time and Charge, into which hard data can be substituted for real results. For example, for M substitute the mass of an electron or an elephant and see the result. Given that it is just dimensional analysis it is very, very hard to go wrong. BASIS OF ARGUMENT Where D (metres) is the reduced Compton wavelength of mass M (kg) then Planck's constant h = 2piDMc. The symbol D denotes displacement or distance. ±2pi denotes intrinsic angular momentum. DM = h/2pic and because h, 2pi and c are all absolute constants then DM (m kg) is also an absolute constant. Nothing more than dimensional analysis. DM is…

  17. Hello I am new here, so if this is inappropriate let me know an I will delete it. Abstract A formal protest is respectfully submitted on the concept of ‘superposition of light waves and how it has been applied to the double slit and quantum mechanics. An argument, including experiments supporting the protest, is presented. The principle of light wave superposition is challenged. The superposition of light waves is found to be incorrect and is the source of confusion and unreal concepts. Polarized radio wave communications theory is investigated. An enhancement of Huygens monopole wavelets theory is considered, impingements and an electromagnetic dipole dumbbell-lik…

  18. Introducing Perception-Based Time Readjustment (PBTR): A New Approach to Temporal ManipulationTime travel has long been the subject of scientific inquiry, philosophical debate, and speculative fiction. Yet, despite its theoretical depth, conventional time travel models remain plagued by causality paradoxes, ethical dilemmas, and spacetime traversal limitations. What if history could be reshaped without violating causality? What if reality was dictated not by absolute chronology, but by perception-driven truth formation? What if we could modify collective memory, ensuring historical continuity without spacetime intervention? This is the foundation of Perception-Based Time …

    Just spent a couple of hours trying to derive 'natural' temperature of the planet in the absence of greenhouse gas effects from basic Stefan-Boltzmann equation and inverse square law. My first engineering approximation : a small rotating sphere of something approximating to graphite gave me a temperature of 278.5 K which is not bad perhaps, but considerably higher than the figure 255 K I've seen commonly quoted. Correcting the solar influx for albedo figures of no particularly strong provenance hit the nail pretty well on the head for earth, but not so well for the moon - 270.3 K is still 20 too high. Can anyone point me towards a bona fide source reference…

    Title: Reimagining Dark Matter: An Emergent Phenomenon from the Curvature of Space Abstract: This is a conceptual exploration into a novel hypothesis about dark matter, proposing that it may not be an unknown particle or substance, but rather an effect arising from the curvature of space itself. The theory suggests that space could be structured like a surface, with multiple layers beneath it. When large mass structures, such as galaxies or galaxy clusters, cause significant curvatures in the fabric of spacetime, this curvature might extend into deeper layers of space, where dark matter could emerge. If this hypothesis is correct, dark matter might not be a mysterious pa…

We consume all the nesesary vitamins to repair and keep our bodies healthy. Calcium for our bones, protiens for our muscles etc. But we Dont take in electricity (one of the most important contributers to us even being alive) in its rawest form. Could raw electricity be the missing food group? If you dont take in the proper nurishment alot of your systems would ither not function correctly or they would not function at all. So wouldnt it be safe to assume that alot of or bodily syst…
