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.

The right theory of everything may lead us to stable fusion, which can cheaply turn small amounts of lead into smaller amounts of gold, which can then be replicated into large amounts of gold. Who said money doesn't grow on trees? A ToE could tell us how fast future spacecrafts could ever possibly go. A ToE could provide avenues for computation & communication that bypass the speed of light. Such a theory would as much lead to a technological Utopia as Einstein's theory of General Relativity led to the atom bomb that ended all of the catastrophes of global scale warfare many decades ago. To start I had to ask myself a few questions: How do you …

I woke up this morning with light staring in my eyes. And I thought about the vastness of the universe, and how light is so much faster than human beings. It seemed unfair to me. But then I realized that it's not about fair or unfair, but the coldness of the physics. Light doesn't have morality, it just obeys the physics laws. It doesn't choose what speed to go, it just goes whatever speed it goes. And that was when I started thinking about this. So this morning I googled whether light is massless particle, google tells me light is a massless particle but I don't believe it. If light had no mass, how would a laser have knock back force? Here is a conversat…

Yes. Anything in nature that has a motion is translated into, say linear or rotational kinetic energies.

I have devised a photonic motor just in case people switch from electricity to light. It would work like a radiometer, except it would not need a vacuum. It would have about 6 vanes, which would be colored black. A laser would fire a laser beam at the vanes, which would absorb the photons and cause the vanes to rotate clockwise. For a faster speed, the vanes could be colored white, which when struck by a laser beam, would reflect the light back. When the laser light hits the vanes, the vanes would absorb the momentum of the light and be pushed clockwise. When the light is reflected, the reaction with the vane would push the vane clockwise, making it turn twice as fast as …

Summary of Investigations into Curves and Accelerations In our case, we have already noticed before that these ''curves'' are equivalent to accelerations at infinitessimal regions. We linked those curvature dynamics to the temperature in the following way: [math]K_BT = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau} \cdot \frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau}) \equiv\ \frac{1}{2}<\dot{\psi}|\dot{\psi}>[/math] For the special case of [math]m = 1[/math]. We'll also set the Boltzmann constant to natural units for simplicity in the future. It was noted, that the term [math]\frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau} \cdot \frac{ds^{\mu}}{d\tau}[/math] is nothing but the square of the metric cur…

It was suggested by Arun (et al.) That rotation enters the Friedmann equation like [math](\frac{\ddot{R}}{R})^2 = \frac{8 \pi G}{3}\rho + \omega^2[/math] [1]. see references It's proposed the correct derivation is not only longer, but in this form, should have a sign change for the triple cross product. It is also apparent, no one has offered in their work a derivation other than the one implied through the Godel model. Really what is in implied by the centrifugal term is a triple cross product, is the use of the cross product terms [math]\ddot{R} = \frac{8 \pi G R}{3}\rho + \omega \times (\omega \times R)[/math] Even thou…

1) I do not believe the universe is random inherently at the quantum level or otherwise. 2) I do not believe that the big bang is all there is in the universe. The misnomer ''hot big bang'' should really have been reserved for models that involve initial conditions with extremely high temperatures. The reason for this will be revealed now. 3) I do not believe the universe needs to be described by the current model. There are acceptable alternatives which should deserve an exploration, such as a heating of the universe from some pre-big bang state. In my own investigation, this revealed itself as a radiation vapour Helmholtz transition from some mo…

Hello, and welcome to my first thread on SicenceForums. This thread will be dealing with my thoughts and speculative solutions regarding the next steps in Human Evolution and the rise of Automation, Machine Learning(M.L.), Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), and Cybernetic Implants. I would vary much enjoy, people to poke as many hole in my hypotheses as possible. Because it will enable me to grow and learn in subjects I enjoy. The introduction and context to my thoughts, will be quite long and cover a variety of different subjects and fields of study. I'm not a master of writing or grammar. I am not the best at organizing my thoughts either, so bare with me on this adventure…

Is there such a thing as tempodynamics? Chronodynamics? I am interested in the dependencies of motion and time. If everything in the universe were suddenly still it would be indistinguishable from time stopping; time cannot be measured without movement, matter cannot transition without time passing. Does time need motion to advance? Is there a field for these kinds of questions? Thanks

Horses make it less costly to move resources from point A to point B. The same is true of our ancestors walking upright. As the cost of allocation decreased the frequency increased. More frequent allocation meant more frequent allocation problems. When monkeys, lions, whales and birds migrate they generally don't have to worry about what they'll take with them. It was a different story with our ancestors. They were able to carry many resources at the same time so they were forced to figure out what to take. Our ancestors needed weapons for defense and for hunting. If they carried too few weapons then they might be killed by wild animals or other groups. But…

Spin, momentum and wavelength are (measured) properties of energy. And a photon is always on the move, it only has kinetic energy. You can define energy as the ability to do work (it depends on your interpretation). The ability to do work is stored force. When you excite an atomic electron to a higher energy state, you then increase the stored force (F). F=ma and according to mass-energy equivalence: F=(E/c²)a. By increasing the stored force in an electron, you cause some of it's energy to be accelerated(F=(E/c²)a) which forms a photon. Gluons and photons (massless particles) are imo just energy. A gluon is an elementary particle that acts as the exchange part…

This is the second post I would like some comment on if you guys wouldn't mind. Dark Matter In QM, gravity is considered a force, the graviton being the force carrier. In GR, gravity is represented as a geometric curvature of spacetime created by mass. When we have (spacetime) expansion and we have (spacetime) curvature, it is hard not to imagine waves. Gravity waves were predicted by Einstein and recently observed emanating from neutron stars. “Gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that are generated in certain gravitational interactions and propagate as waves outward from their source at the speed of light. In Einstein's theory of genera…

Abstract I explore the anticommutating spacetime relation in context of gravity by seeing commutation happen in two connections of the gravitational field, one concerned with space, the other time. We learn nothing revolutionary this time around, but we do explore it in a finite dimensional, Hilbert space-context. I do offer though, in a new context, an equation proposed by Anandan, which can describe the difference of geometries directly related to the [math]L^2[/math] space we explore as a Cauchy Schwarz spacetime. My ultimate hope is that it will catch on that the latter gives a natural mechanism for fluctuations in spacetime, as we relate fluctuations to t…

I'll be closing my studies on gravity in the Hilbert space soon now. I will finalise a more comprehensible paper from it as well, but i wanted to reserve for this post, the most interesting conclusions I made. There were many things I found while investigating this model, but the following will only be concerned with the dynamics of [math]L^2[/math] Cauchy-Schwarz space and the Hilbert space formalism. The ultimate goal was to find a Hilbert space theory of gravity which seemed (at least plausible) by linking it dynamically with the Schrodinger evolution. I achieved this but it needs so much more work that (maybe) someone else will take up as I will be going back into cos…

With the assumption of UNDETECTABLE things in a theory any theory could be developed since it could never be proven wrong! This way anyone can invent any theory! To sustain Relativity Theory the concept of UNDETECTABLE "dark matter" was developed but about hundred years have passed without experimental confirmation... To sustain Quantum Physics the concept of UNDETECTABLE "virtual particles" was developed but there's no experimental confirmation on them... Don't you think is time for a totally new theory in Physics? I have a very good start-point for one without any undetectable thing. For those that could be interested I cannot post the link here but it can …

Why have we only 4 DNA Bases on Earth and NOT the theoretical possible 12 DNA Bases???... Life on Earth has only 2 DNA Base pairs... (2 * 2 = 4 Bases) Theoretical there could be 6 DNA Base pairs of pyrimidines and purines!!!... (6 * 2 = 12 Bases) My sugestion is that if Life evolved from only pyrimidines and NOT purines, then they are only 2 DNA Base pairs possible!!! (image)

What is radioactivity? What is (electrical) insulation? (Are they opposites? e.g. oppositely proportional?) Marie & Pierre Curie measured (& compared) the amount "time" in seconds (from a distance) that their (charged) capacitor discharged (e.g. (to) half its voltage). (The sooner their capacitor was discharged, (meant) the more radioactive the location was. =Less (discharging) time meant more radioactivity.) A Geiger_Mueller (GM) tube is something like a piece of coax wire acting …

It’s a new theory which simplifies the understanding of general relativity. The newest Theory of Everything by Dr. Charles Michael Turner. The Expanding N.E.T. Wave theory states that not only did the Big Bang transition the finite singularity to create mass, energy and space, three forms of matter, but each atom is still radiates more space. Space is defined as the gravitational field, continually radiating as a lowest energy field from all mass. It is important to note that low energy gravitational waves radiating from all mass simply follow Newton’s theee laws of motion, like mass. s=ec^3 is the formula linking the standard model and general relativity.…

The amino acid F-Phenylalanine has the same shape like the DNA pyrimidines: Cytocine and Thymine ... The amino acid W-Tryptophane has the same shape like the DNA purines: Guanine and Adenine... So, could there exist - at the START of Life - a molecule of ONE amino-acid and ONE DNA-Base connected together???... (image) (a molecule similar to t-RNA, a t-DNA???...) Then you do NOT need a m-RNA transcription and a r-RNA ribosome translation: The DNA Base converts to the amino-acid and vice versa!!!...

Voltage addition? If 1 (1.5 V) battery of a 3 battery flashlight is wrong (=the opposite (polarity)) (then) the total voltage is zero, not 1.5 V so the lamp (filament) will NOT go on (=won't light) when the switch is closed (=turned on). Kirchhoff's voltage law adds voltage( drop)s on loads, but seems to collapse when dealing with (battery) sources of mixed polarity. (=I find that (unexpectedly) rather (stunningly) peculiar, the math fails!) Can anyone help me to (simply) understand what's happening, (e.g. with like charges repel, unlike attract) why the volt…

Hi everyone, This is my personal hypothesis, and even to me it looks crazy but makes sense, can be tested and is in compliance with results from already conducted experiments. What do you think? Just don't stop reading on the "aether" word --- What if gravity is a push-force applied by the aether to the objects in the universe. That will require the gravitational [aetherial] force to be much stronger than it is believed to be. Imagine the aether as a very dense medium which is everywhere and in everything. (Not dense as a material substance of course.) The dense aether penetrates in (moves through) the matter and loses its force with the amount…

Golden Pi = 3.144605511029693 is the correct value of Pi and this fact can be proven by almost anybody that has sufficient knowledge of the principles of the Kepler right triangle including the creation of a circle with a circumference equal in measure to the perimeter of a square. The correct value of the Golden ratio will determine the correct value of both the square root of the Golden ratio and Pi. Traditional Pi 3.141592653589793 is also false because it is based upon a false value for the Golden ratio for example traditional Pi 3.141592653589793 can also be gained from 4 divided by the square root of 1.621138938277405 = 1.273239544735163. The ratio 1.621138938…

Fusion may occur if you have deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron atoms colliding at speeds near the speed of light from opposite directions in a cyclotron (a circular particle accelerator). Here are the equations: \[ \text {Kinetic Energy} E_{k1}=\frac {1}{2}mv^2, E_{k2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\ \text {Since the atoms are travelling in opposite directions, total energy} E_T=E_{k1}+E_{k2}\\ =\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mv^2.\\ \text{If } v \rightarrow c, \text{then total energy } E=mc^2,\\ \text{which implies that matter is being converted into energy.}\\ \text{Sorry that everything is centered. I couldn't figure out how to end or …

Dark matter is theorized to be the most abundant substance in the universe. If there is no dark matter is relativity wrong? If relativity is wrong what other theories might be valid? I understand various modern theories do not need dark matter to explain the movement of the outer planets, does anyone have a inside view regarding which alternative to relativity is the best option, in the event that dark matter is not detected? This is one link there are hundreds. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.03034.pdf

It is argued in this [very] short paper (almost too short to take seriously in a way) an argument that the Newtonian G can be replaced for the Planck length. http://vixra.org/pdf/1710.0315v1.pdf Dimensionally, the equation stands up, what about the physical meaning? This is no less an attempt to quantize G in such a way that it conforms with modern Planck scale physics. Of course, assume we are working in the Planck space, then the curvature also has to satisfy Planckian dynamics. Of course, I have found my own ways to deal with this - the quantum vacuum is about non-commutativity and this can be fully expressible through the spacetime uncertainty relati…
