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.

    in the center of the universe, there is now the shell of the big bang. It is now the largest black hole in the universe. With the contrast between the flowering universe that is expanding endlessly; this shell retracts into itself, becoming the largest black hole at the center of the universe. It is necessary because it scales in with the growth of the universe and keeps things from "flying apart" too much. Now my question is: is this theory new and sound? I welcome questions or ways to go deeper into this.

    Watched alot of science stuff lately, here is something that I theorize: 0 and 1 is male. It is absolute, black or white, one or the other. Some things, like computers operate with this system of "0s and 1s" However; Every number inbetween 0 and 1, an infinite number of numbers, is another story (female). This male and female are as alien to each other as it gets and thus their interactions cause amazing things to occur. It is this interaction that causes chaos in the universe (when male is dominant because it can't handle how advanced it all is) and harmony in the universe (when female is dominant) Since they are alien to each other allow me to further …

  4. I am the guy who invented 'non-beliefism' (url removed) Ever wonder why scientists believe in science? The *FACTS*: (1) Belief definition: "To accept as true, especially absent evidence". (Note: None of the varying meanings of belief under a particular dictionary's definition of belief opposes the meaning above. Any opposing meaning would be found in antonyms instead..) (Google belief definition source) (2) Belief tends to facilitate that beings ignore evidence, on the boundary of confirmation bias: (Cognitive paper on belief) (3) "Belief memories" are typically false: (Neuroscience paper on belief) Belief is observed to oppose scienc…

  5. "An Engineered Theory of Motion" If this is "it", the it that this is would cover the very bottom. It could be implemented with a matter-field theory and/or a string/M-theory, then the Standard Model could sit on top of that, and on up howsoever. Not much if anything seems depreciated, and many strange puzzles seem solved by one simple proposal. Here, through reverse-engineering, "a single coherent framework" (Barrow, p.17) hopes to explain "the different fundamental forces...with effective descriptions of each of the different interactions between particles of matter and light." Yet, first a "bedrock of reality" (p.12), would need to come with all that, a mechani…

  6. What is consciousness (pure scientific) ? Are insects conscious? I think consciousness is the way you interpret (or deal with) stored knowledge. During your life you get a lot of knowledge through learning/observing which is what forms/feeds your consciousness. Since insects have also a lot of neurons...they have also consciousness. A cockroach has +/- 1 000 000 neurons in his brain/nervous system while a fruit fly has only 250 000 neurons. You should think of the principles underlying how you put a brain together or what's a brain made of.There is no reason to limit having consciousness to animals with a human-like brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/w…

  7. Right well, before you think I'm crazy. I'm speculating on how DNA can be modified in the future, give or take hopefully within the next 25 years. I set up a poll and you are welcome to vote on it. 1. The Crispr/CAS9 is a well known method that uses a bacteria enzyme to cut and modify the DNA. They've had successful modification of the animal embryo, but it could be error prone. It uses a molecular scissor to cut the DNA and after that you swap in the desired DNA sequence. 2. The nanomachine method is all theoretical, scientist are working on building a nanomachine of this scale not to mention method of mass production. Let's imagine each nanomachine contains a wi…

    The history before the history The earliest fossils of hominids date from 3,5 million years. These hominids spread across the globe. With the genetic variation and influence of environment various species appeared. Which explains the Neanderthal man, that is human like us, our cousin in evolution. Some groups isolated themselves like what happened in Australia. These hominids were to Europe, Middle East, Asia and Oceania where Lemuria existed that was flooded by the Oceans, and to Atlantis that remained, according to Plato, after the Strait of Gibraltar. After homo sapiens, more or less, about 20,000 years ago, appeared on Earth the white races (Arians), Egyptian…

    Wandering around the forum I read a moderator's(swansont) thread which included the following words: "You are contradicting accepted science. Accepted science has a large amount of data supporting it, so if your thesis runs contrary to experimental results, you have basically pre-falsified your work. If you are proposing a new theory, it has to do better than the one it's supplanting. Remember, you have to be consistent with all of what has been observed, not just some small subset of it." I cannot understand the reason that we still have all science based on maths to "be accepted" by scientific community. A new discovery backed by mathematics should be ultimat…

  10. Pink elephant, our consciousness is as real as that elephant we just thought of. It seems as if our consciousness is information itself. Virtual photons act as information when transferring electrical current between electrons. So when our brain has electricity being transferred between neurons it is actually a bunch of virtual photons transferring the data of the force between electrons. I have a hypothesis that our consciousness is simply a "goo" of virtual photons within the limits of the amps, ohms, and vaults of the brain. Cut a persons brain into two (without them dying obviously) and place it into two different bodies, and they would both be that same original pers…

  11. The Bell Inequality tests are only valid for non-negative numbers, which is reasonable because counts and probabilities cannot be negative. All the experiments that depend on the violation of Bell's Inequality use a negative number in the inequality. That invalidates the experiments. Bell's Inequality can be violated by having a negative value. For example: P(a,b) -P(a,d)+P(c,b)+P(c,d) <= 2 Which can be calculated as a+b-a-d+c+b+c+d / a+b+c+d <=2 with a=1, b=2, c=3 and d= - 4 then 1+2-1-(-4)+3+2+3+(-4) / 1+2+3+(-4) <= 2 10 /2 <= 2 5 <= 2

  12. Gravity-driven Liquid vortex LV is seemingly a generic analog of black holes (BHs). Here are some exciting things about the BHs I have learned from this analogy. Vortices of different kind could be found everywhere around. One can get an insight in understanding the hardly observable vortices of interest by studying the easily observable generically similar ones. The LV I have observed was located in a pond and arranged confining its developments in the thin water surface layer making it acting as a two-dimensional one. For the LV observed, quite a number of generic features appeared to be in coherence with those known for the cosmic BHs, so, I hypothesized that it wou…

  13. If earths magnetic shield protects us from the suns radiation, evidence is the ice mass at the earths poles where magnetism is at it's strongest. The earth is tilting at an angle, this is proof it's not simply temperature distance from the sun. If were loosing our ice mass, is the shield weakening? Global warming is only 1 to 2 degrese, but the ice is melting. fast. What is our future? Something to think about. It may even be the case that magnatism pulls in the suns radiation and radiation is cold, cooling our planet. Or it may be the case that magnatism does not protect us at all, its our air that protects us and simply magnatism is cold. I don't b…

    In an expanding universe why do so scientists claim the following " In physical cosmology, the age of the universe is the time elapsed since the Big Bang. The current measurement of the age of the universe is 13.799±0.021 billion years within the Lambda-CDM concordance model. The uncertainty has been narrowed down to 21 million years by the agreement of a number of scientific research projects, such as microwave background radiation measurements by the Planck satellite, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and other probes. Measurements of the cosmic background radiation give the cooling time of the universe since the Big Bang, and measurements of the expansion rat…

    Orange mass or taste/flavor (opens color physical action as perceived response to color), as blue gets towards white (blue cheese is like the opening to cheese flavor, the blue->white physical action intersection is where coldness is) it begins to act upon mass, the coolness of the blueness actually begins to physically cool the whiteness of the massness. This is the effect of extra cold. Cheese tastes like the "character" of what "extra cold" tastes like. As the perfect operational mass effect, taste likes to express its ideatical effect as opposite to what it it is next to what it is doing to it was what it it is. Hellishness associated with hotness, constantness a…

  17. Distance in terms of the Universe should be in its apparent area at a fixed displacement. Every point is its own center, but distance should be calculated by how many of those singular perspectives are potentially included by our view. When we look out we are seeing one point (from a straight on view from our perspective), who's distance should be a derivative of how many points historically are contained at that time when the Universe was more compact. (If we were to travel back in time, the potential points represented by the area of the sphere at that displacement, would've been contained within the space we exist in now.) Basically, we are just seeing the potential po…

    As simple as it it is for me to explain I don't wish to get ridiculed for not having the facts. When japan had the earthquake that made the planet shift a foot I happen to be sat at my computer, at that time I noticed the corner of the room strangely shift towards me but I did not wobble. It's as if space compressed, my judgement of distance to the corner did not change but I guess the focus/bend did as if you could imagine changing shape of a lens. My only guess of this is space compressed, could be something else but there you go. Did anyone else experience such an event. I live in Britain. You probably won't believe me because it seems these science forums…

  19. When the Moon's rotatio and revolution became synched, doesn't it loose its angular momentum prematurely because the rotation is now maintained by tidal forces and not momentum? Wouldn't that momentum be transferred into linear momentum (perhaps a nudge). Also, due to resonance, won't the moon maintain its orbital period from a larger orbit that should have a longer orbital period? Wouldn't that create acceleration to maintain that period which would increase the altitude of the Moon? It seems more plausible than a tidal bulge leading it around. Even if the mass is unevenly distributed, doesn't the Earth still have a gravitational mean center? If you were to spin two ru…

    The Bible tells us that the next step after creating the heaven and the un-formed earth, God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) [My speculation: That is when God fired up the sun.] But for all of recorded history, we human beings have wanted to know more about light than that. We have known that the lights that appear in the sky are way, W - A - Y far away, and that the light has to travel to get here. Maybe that's all that was known until modern times when some enterprising scientists whose names I have forgotten made a rather successful attempt to discover the order of magnitude of the speed of light. Now that we know to…

Other rock looks like fosilised micropes or other. Interesting... url deleted looks like domination, layers = time and a lot of it.

In the photo there is no seen vegitation though it could be, if theres vegetation below it which should be proven then that would be further evidence of my theory. Lava could even be something like burning oil and prehistoric life. This could be some ex…

    It seems to me that programming an artificial intelligence should be based on the economics of biological logic, indifference curves. For example, if a program were installed into an independently mobile machine that began with linear indifference curves, which is what you would expect from logic. What if those linear indifference curves could change based on intersections with other curves or from the statistical information of its individual experience. Say, there were a 1 to 1 relationship between how to react to a low power situation. The machine could either use its remaining power to find another power source or shut down conserving power and its basic funct…

    Could gravity be caused by virtual particles or virtual waves stretching space. https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-physics-basics/virtual-particles-what-are-they/ The above thought provoking link was kindly posted by Strange, would any one like to discuss the concept of gravity being caused by a virtual field or virtual particle, as opposed to a theoretical graviton that might not exist. When visualizing the graviton or how such a concept could work, to give the appearance of stretched space.

    The issue of understanding reality is something I would like to seriously discuss. There is an aspect of that issue which no one seems to have any interest in thinking about. The issue I refer to is the fact that no one is born capable of considering the problem. Every person who has ever tried to think about that issue had to first learn the language spoken by their contemporaries. The underlying problem is that each and every one of them makes the assumption that they understand the language they have supposedly learned. I would like to discuss the issue without making any assumptions about the language being examined. This constitutes a problem as even discussing t…

  25. Waves and strings. Tidal waves, I observed, consisted of bundles of strings providing an intriguing clue into the strings fundamentals and associated phenomena. As my observations show, strings appear structuring the tidal waves practically always. Even significant turbulence does not completely destroy their well correlated and tight bundles. This phenomenon caught my technological attention because, as a SC technologist, I am aware about quite a number of advanced technologies utilizing spreading liquid to create a later solidified thin film by pouring the liquid over a central section of a spinning wafer for centrifugal forces to force it spreading uniformly…
