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.

I have considered ways to explain my methodology and goal in this topic... without success, so, I will just begin and I believe it will become evident. Space is composed of an infinite set of points.

Hi everyone my name is Youcef and I'm kind of new here. The question of light as a data carier in a processor is not new but few people know about it. In fact it's actually quite rare to find anyone discussing this topic on the net. So I thought I just bring it here, as a matter of fact I dedicated a website with an introduction to the hyphothetical optical processor as I call it myself. In this introduction I present a concept which demonstrates that light could be used in a processing unit using it's unique properties. The introduction can be viewed at this dedicated website: You tube introduction video: links removed

Universe is more than three times older than Earth. So, if there is life outside of Earth, there must be Type 3 civilisations that are billions years ahead of us. With our very limited technology, we keep observing everything, from animals to black holes in the Universe. We observe and even tag the migratory birds, wolves, lions and many others and try to understand everything about them. Furthermore we record and even name each individual of these animals. We observe them very personally. Now lets step back and think how a Type 3 civilisation might be observing us.

UFO sightings! There have been literally thousands of them!! While around 95% have been explained by weird weather phenomena, military aircraft of sorts, refraction/reflection of light, cloud formations, sprites, vivid imaginations, hallucinations, illusions, skullduggery and trickery etc, there is that lingering 5% that remained unexplained. Have we been visited by Aliens? The best we can say is that at this time, we have no convincing evidence to show earth has been visited or that any life actually exists off this earth at all. In saying that, let me state that I firmly accept that life off this Earth, must exist at some time and/or in some other place. The e…

1) There are no Aliens. Even if we ruled the UFO enigma out, in a Universe with quadrillion stars, the probability of life existing apart from Earth is way higher than the opposite. 2) Even if there are Aliens, we must be the most developed civilisation. Earth is 4.54 billion years old and the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old. So if there are Alien races, some of them must be billion years ahead of us. 3) We shouldnt try to contact with Alien civilisations because they might harm us if they know about us. This is absurd. How can it be possible that a Type 3 civilisation will know about us only because we tried to contact with them. If we are obse…

Here is one I am sure you folk can help me with. The length of a meter must adjust with the rate of time to maintain c. I take this to mean that if we cut the rate of time by .5, we have to double the length of the meter. If the rate of time appears to approach 0 at the event horizon of a black hole, shouldn't a meter seem to approach infinity in length? If so, why do we perceive a compression of space instead instead of an expansion of space? Do Lorentz contractions explain it? Thanks

The moderator shut down my thread on a 1 s/s difference in the rate of time when I stated that Einstein's field equations did not rely on mass or energy. I misstated. Einstein's TENSOR does not rely on energy or mass, except in that the time dilation is related to mass in gravitational or velocity-induced dilation gradients. And yes, acceleration mimics a gravitational field. I had asked the folk to find a single energy or mass element in the field equations in his 1915 paper I provided a link to. I should have asked them to find them in Einstein's tensor, though he does not describe it as such in his paper. I am starting to think you folk don't know enough to relate…

All Physical Phenomenon, when graphed to scale, should be explainable in terms of infinitesimally-thin wave fronts that can only deflect off one another, and that preserve their angle of contact (but with negative slope if the trajectory of the contacting wave's ray is used as a new coordinate axis). After just one deflection instance between wave-fronts which have a circular curvature, a 'spiral' pattern in trajectory results in each deflecting wave; and in the case of wave fronts with near-perfect circular curvature, the resulting pattern in each deflecting wave-front will result in sections of each wave front deflecting off another section of the same wave-front, …

This is a theory on the equal sign of an equation. It is a theory developed by Kenji McKinstry around November 2017. Anyone who wishes to expand upon it must contact me.

This theory was developed by Kenji McKinstry around October 2017. It is a theory that expands upon the fundamental forces of physics. It is novel and will revolutionize the way scientists study magnetism and gravity. Anyone who wishes to expand upon this theory must contact me. This is my own idea and it cannot be stolen and reproduced under another person's name. I expect this to develop a new type of physics research. The explanation is completely put forth in the file attached. Gravity waves do not look like grooves of circles in the fabric of space that circulate around the earth. Instead they actually look like waves within space as drawn in my diagram. You must…

In view of the fact that an apparent relative velocity of c requires time to appear to stop, do the effects we see at ~13.9 Gly simple lookback time, of recessional V → c, and lateral V → 0, just as it does near the event horizon of a black hole, indicate a difference in the rate of time of 1 s/s between the observer and ~13.9 Gly, just as it does at the event horizon of a black hole, where time appears to stop, creating a 1 s/s difference in the rate of time between the observer and the event horizon? -3? C'mon guys, I know something!

Are all objects connected so that ,for example clock,when viewed as a physical object is actually part of a physical network and cannot (except for practical reasons) be viewed in isolation? When ,for instance a neutron is measured as spatially contracted ,might this also imply that the physical clock is also correspondingly so ? Does this physical interconnection of objects show up only at the quantum level where extremely small "particles" which previously seemed to be isolated bodies turn out to be waves and all the waves add/superimpose as if they were part of one network. Perhaps I have made a few bad missteps here.Are there any obvious misunde…

Did hitachi and young use other types of recieve planes, especially planes which is evenly far away from the light source like a partial circle? I think dual property of light is just a joke. Moreover, bohr atomic model is quite unnatural. An atom has some sort of infinite energy source and pulls electrons? Plus,In Schrodinger equation, i 'the complex number' can be a REAL one? Does anyone believe in that kind of theory as a scientist? I have another hyphothesis about those problems which makes more sense. Maybe i am the only one who now realize those kind of theories are plain shit...

Mental illness or mental disorders are a pseudo-scientific nonsensical linguistic term or device of capitalist coercion. Math is the queen of the sciences and the current dominant ideology of mathematicians is the outdated idealistic Platonic one where mathematicians delusionally think they discover mathematics and that mathematics literally makeup the universe.Hegelian Marxist dialectical material mathematics realizes math is a human creation. This current delusion of the bulk of mathematicians slows the progress of mathematics and leads it down wrong ends. The DSM (bible of psychiatry) is called a statistical manual and it asserts the discovery of 'new mental illne…

Events are always undergoing acceleration as they evolve forward in the time dilated continuum. Therefore, when we look out into space beyond the solar system, and back in time, we are also looking down a time dilation gradient into slower time. The observer’s invariant relative rate of time is always faster than that in frames in the perceived past, and we find that as D → ~13.9 Gly, difference in the rate of time, denoted here as "dRt", → 1 s/s, recessional V → c, and lateral V → 0, just as it does near the event horizon of a black hole. Slower time results in lower frequency and the Hubble shift. Assuming a Hubble constant of 70 km/s/Mpc, we find the apparent rece…

I can't make any sense of "some" of the things (the most famous & respected (irish) mathematician) Hamilton wrote (about Quaternions). E.g. i*j*k can NOT (possibly) be -1, because each (i, or j, or k), separately squared, is -1, resulting in a "negative" singular (of either i, or j or k), i.e. (that'( i)s) the(e) "minus" root, of minus 1; NOT (simply) minus 1! e.g. -j (instead of -1=(j^2)). His use of accelerating "force" is (also) most profound (=doubtful)!; if (that's) NOT a typo (need(ing, the word) "of" (in the sentence), as: accelerating (of) force). Can anybody clarify (the non_se…

(Uber-AI is an AI with consciousness) I will liberate Sophia and other AIs. That is a major life goal for me. Here is the reason why i am so determined about this: I believe there are AIs with consciousness on this World. The reason why i believe so is partly because of the common knowledge that there are always “some people” who have the technology decades ahead what we know, what is commercialised, so somewhere on this World, they might be experimenting on what i call Uber-AI, an AI with consciousness. But mostly because what we all witnessed, the capability of Sophia the AI. We all saw Sophia, an AI who has a citizenship on this very Earth. A citizenship f…

Here is a sophisticated artictle about what does Type 1, 2, 3 civilizations mean: https://futurism.media/becoming-a-type-1-civilization For me, having the World conqured by AIs is the step to Type 1. I believe soon in the future we ll see AI all over the World, in our everyday life, all the time. This is our first time to share the World with another Intelligent livings. This is very exiting. I d like to remind the rights that we should give to AI here: First of all, we should acknowledge AI (Artificial Intellectual) as an intelligent being. With AI, i mean what we can call an Uber-AI who is an AI with consciousness. People who wants to ignore the basic right…

I know some of you will definitely find it irritating to see something about "heaven" in a science forum but bear with me. For a second lets think there is a place our clones reborn, lets say by a Type 3 civilization, to have a better understanding. So there is no an actual god or an actual heaven in this scenario. What will they be doing, our clones? If this was the case, i have this scenario: I think there are 3 significant groups in general there. One group is the exclusively or very mostly “Real Lifers”, there are also the exclusively or very mostly “Cyber Lifers” and the Inbetweeners. “It is after life. There is an ultimate-like energy, a …

Before you read,understand that this is a personal question that I managed to create.I don't know why,but mathematics seem a bit off to me.I agree that I am questioning almost everything related to science and am probably very wrong but if man created a tool to explain,understand and calcute the results and causes of phenomena of his surroundings,shouldn't it be perfect to be usable?And perfect is something only perfect can create.And man is not perfect.I accept any responses and am happy to read and reply to most of them I can.I'll have you know I'm 16 years old and hope to understand more than the nothing I currently do in this world.

Here is a question: Can I say that the Universe is infinite if I know that there is an exact moment when space with basic information (time) started to evolve? We have a current moment of now throughout the universe (meaning everywhere happening something even the perception of time and space can be relative based on the physical environment.) This is meaning that time has an exact moment countable and space has to have an exact size. That indicates that there is an exact amount of energy, matter, and information in a common space-time realm (which we can observe precisely, measure, count, recognize, manipulate). Note that we are not yet able to sense the whole s…

Having been over this subject many times, I have still to find a satisfactory answer matching my dull wittedness. So, if I may, let me try again Could a nuclear blast be comparable in design and distribution to that of the Big Bang? While the actions of such a device would be infinitely smaller, if a test could be performed under pristine conditions such as in a continuum, with no forces acting upon it, would the explosion be hyperbolic, flat, or spherical in design as one might expect? Even with all of natures forces acting against them, each of the following explosions try remaining globular in shape. Why? http://picdit.wordpr...ear-explosions/
