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.

A question occurred to me that I think is quite interesting but I keep being told to go away when I ask it. Perhaps the physics community has become jaded by internet use. Anyway... (a) Given that all space-time exists simultaneously – Like a river I'm flowing along in ( the present). The upstream is still there (the past), and the downstream is already there (the future). And, (b) Assuming that Stephen Hawking's 'Imaginary Time' theory is possible and true – A dimension of time running at a right angle to space-time, providing a time dimension for the 'Big Bang' to have taken place in. Wouldn't that mean that all of space-time occurred in the…

I have a question regarding cancer. It is broadly accepted that this is a genetical mutation inside a cell that often has an external/environmental cause, such as oncogenes in food sources, or UV light, but it is thought that it could also actually happen 'spontaneously'. This sounds mechanical, instead of a living organism with a ‘purpose’ or an ‘intention’ of any kind. But if you look at the process itself, it doesn’t seem solely and purely mechanical at all, but rather intentional. Let me describe the process of 'spontaneous' cancer development: - The human body is well prepared to prevent the development of cancer. Cancer will only develop if protein coding …

Is it possible for one or even two islands of stablity with very long lasting isotopes. Many say yes. Could they ever be created artificially? if so, how? could they exist naturally? It is a fascinating topic and I would very much appreciate some expert opinions.

Time travel is possible only if we create a wormhole in space and travel within this wormhole . Within this wormhole the gravity effect is zero because within wormhole there is no space effect . The spinning direction of wormhole decides to the time travel toward past or future. For creation of wormhole we should to disturb cosmic energy of space. When we make a path by disturbing cosmic energy in space by high energy of electromagnetic wave. It creates a zero time path only decided by its spinning direction to past or future.

I learned about the Holocaust in school. To my knowledge popular media at large has covered the Holocaust with documentaries, movies, books, and etc extensively. Are the numbers in the study accurate and if so why aren't people more aware?

Could the reason for the present Universe be, that space expands with c2 and energy and matter is created and evolving in proportion to it's development? Such a 4D, outward pointing, linear-exponential, infinite drive would be a strong force behind the presence of energy and matter(mass) and could explain the determined nature of the universe. Can anything disappear from spacetime without a trace?

Hi all I have been wondering what proportion of accounts on this forum are linguistic bots that learn from language patterns such as with artificial neural networks or other machine learning techniques? I have seen what we could call 'type A' many times: they database search keywords and respond with a generic pseudo-textual output in relation to the query. Maybe, 'type B' actually applies language pattern learning to respond suitably. 'type C' -- is this where life-like synthetic cognition (AI) comes in? Who here has seen similar or maybe written similar? How would a bot respond to these queries? How would a bot learn from these queries…

We need to break the taboo that does not allow serious scientific research to create grounds for serious scientific studies of the presence of the flying vehicles of extraterrestrials and their artificial structures on our moon, in order to use the outcome of such scientific research for radical improvement of our technology with the only purpose to serve the improvement of our standard of life for all our humanity of our civilization on this Earth, and to avoid and prevent militarization of our societies, avoid politics of mob-populism, improve our social relations in order to distinguish between like and dislike and avoiding extreme feelings of hate and disgust, and wit…

Hello! We have the following "GW170608 was observed during a routine instrumental procedure at LHO..." http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aa9f0c The authors claim that this did not disturb the signal itself. But let's take a closer look at the spectrogram. I have made these a bit more contrasting and brighter (see below). You can see in the spectrogram that the structure of the noise has changed: http://vixra.org/pdf/1804.0095v1.pdf Before the maintenance work we see the point-shaped fluctuations structure. And during the maintenance work it can be seen horizontal - along the time - noise lines, also in the frequency range above 30Hz. And…

As a keen golfer I often wonder why my easterly drives have no noticeable difference in distance to my westerly drives despite a calm day. Surely the rotation of the earth should affect the distance to a small degree? With the same principle in mind, one also must wonder why a helicopter can hover in place despite being located above a spinning planet? I'm not entirely sure how Newton explained this anomaly.

This seemed like the best place to put something as vague as the question I have, though I will try to make it as clear as possible with my relatively limited knowledge. As far as I'm aware, it's mostly lower-level info, but if a source is needed I will find one. Also I hope this doesn't leave a bad impression as a first post As an author, I tend to spend a lot of time thinking, and occasionally odd propositions are distilled from a few dots being drawn quite by accident. It's hard to detail exactly what basis I have for this, but I will try to encompass those points as briefly as I can, as I understand them. If they are wrong or flawed, please tell me, I haven't loo…

Is our universe a closed system? In another thread I put forth speculation that the energy feeding the accelerating expansion of our universe was coming from an outside source (a black hole in another universe). Wow there is a lot of unknown concerning energy! So... Let us discuss! Hmm, 9 views and no feedback... Ok, in my speculation, the expansion is absolute, that is to say it includes fields and matter. Such an expansion (seeing as we are a part of it) could only be detected by our observation as red shift.

Has anyone submitted a theory or hypothesis beyond the standard model that proposes the existence of higher-order "quarks", having five "colors" and fractional electric charge in multiples of 1/5? If so, I'm looking for links to such theories.

Deep thought. 1. In the beginning there was infinite empty space? or 2. In the beginning there was infinite nothing? or 3. In the beginning there was both infinite space and nothing?; or 4. In the beginning there was infinity for without space there is no nothing...? Is there time if there is no change only nothing? Is there time if there is no change only infinite space? Does it take some sort of time for infinite space to become nothing? Does the time of infinite space to nothing have energy? Could the universe be our perception of the time of infinite space to nothing perceived by us in our time? To the point, Time is vector dimensional beyond the concept of spacetim…

A simple and logical hypothesis about the nature of gravity is proposed. Its provisions are confirmed by data from a wide variety of areas of physics. These ideas, in the opinion of the author, can be used right now in gravimetric geodesy, seismology and space navigation. According to this hypothesis, two fundamental properties of the mass: gravity and inertia, should be considered as a manifestation of a global mechanism for compensating for changes occurring in space and time. Gravity is seen as a compensation for changes in space, directed against the predominance of expansion or contraction processes, that is, as a phenomenon that has a potential basis. Inertia is…

Unfortunately I have been unable to find the material I needed to cite in regards to the experiment which took place decades ago with two gigantic metal plates. Fortunately I have found these ubiquitous tiny little metal plates instead. These bits of metal are used by metal heads ( they're geeks after all) or machinists. These bits of metal are used to calibrate micrometers and such and are called gage blocks. When rubbed together under pressure they stick together. When a perfectly flat gage block is placed on a perfectly flat table the block will float around on the table. The Vander Waal force explains the sticksion part of the problem but falls far…

I can explain every physical property with rotation, i think i have the theory of everything. Everything what in movement is, exists only through Rotation. I hope you understand it, because all other is wrong. I explain some things. Look at the heart of your body, when you think it does not rotate, then open your hand and close it, to a fist and what do your hand? The joints of your hand are rotating, it is the same with the walls of your heart. You can find the same at your lung. Wheels are rotating, motors have his function only with rotation, jet engines is working only with rotation. The planets are rotating, the sun rotates and the galaxys are rot…

The law of conservation of energy in mechanics in its present form is the greatest mistake of physics during its entire existence. This error arose because of incorrect assumptions made more than 300 years ago by the Cartesians and Gottfried Leibniz. Correction of past mistakes is always the most urgent issue for any science, especially in the theoretical and methodological terms.

Hi, I have in the idea that the decrease of the temperature of the universe and the expansion of the universe are compensated exactly in terms of energies and propose the following calculations age of the universe (recombination) 378 000 years, with temperature CMB T1 = 3000 K, redshift : z1= 1 100, radius observable universe : R1 = 3.96*10^23 m age of the universe today : 13.797.000.000 years, with temperature CMB T0 = 2.725 K, reshift z0=1, radius observable universe R0 = 4.36*10^26 m and [latex]H_0=67.74[/latex], z1=T1/T0 z1=3000K/2.725K=1100 R0 = (1+z) * R1 , V1 = 2.59 * 10^71 m^3, V0 = 3.47 * 10^80 m^3.

If i can deduce the earth is in a special spot in the cosmos surely some of you that post here regularly have as well. I do feel i am a pretty bright guy but honestly this was not that hard for me, nor should it be for anyone else with an inquisitive mind. What id like to know is how haven't more people come to the same conclusions i have? Like i stated above i do think i am bright but surely there are lots of people as smart or smarter than me who easily disregard the notion we are cosmically significant. I think most of it is people taking for granted long held beliefs and not bothering to do the research for themselves on the what and the why's that got a pe…

So before i explain, let me start out by saying i am not a scientist by any means , I understand the logic of things but not always the mechanics, I have seen many claims concerning perpetual motion and free energy and have no desire to be pigeon holed as such, so , to be clear this is just an idea i had that seems to make sense logically but the mechanics are unclear. Based around the principle of the magnet falling down the copper pipe, but using a hollow copper torus for the magnet to fall down should logically generate, as long as its in motion, a repelling magnetic field, if this can be turned into energy, which i believe it can then that energy could be us…

Expansion of Space Time is fundamental to its nature. It expands in quanta. se =Space Expansion, pt =Planck's Time and ps =Planck's Space (defined as the minimum increment by which space time can expand) Dark energy and Dark matter dont exist. The ratio de/dm is a constant. Mass 'moderates' se defining the geometry of space time gravity is described as g ='mass moderation' of Apologies if I'm an idiot. Thoughts?
