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.

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…

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…

I have a theory: our bodies have a strong connection to electricity (Fyi, I Am NOT a scientist, but i do ask if you look past that for a second and ask yourself if this makes ANY sense at all). 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…

I have been thinking about the recent release of information relating to UAF encounters by the US government and the videos of aircraft flying at unimaginable speeds and manoeuvres that defy the laws of physics. I wonder how they can do this and ran some prompts through AI (with my own thoughts included) to give me a possible explanation. Theoretical_Warp_Drive_System_Mc115_Earth_Field.docx Theoretical Warp Drive System Powered by Element 115 (Mc*) 1. Introduction This document outlines a theoretical design for a warp-capable propulsion system using a stabilised form of Element 115 (Moscovium, referred to as Mc* when stabilised). The concept draws upon modern physics th…

Hello all, I’d like to present a new theoretical framework I’ve been working on, titled The Temporal Substrate Theory. It proposes a foundational shift in how we interpret gravity, light, and cosmology—by placing time as the fundamental physical field, rather than space. In this model: Space is not fundamental, but emerges from phase differences in temporal states. Gravity is caused by compression of the temporal field (τ), not curvature of space. Light is a ripple of temporal detachment—not a particle in space, but a coherent escape from time’s flow. Black holes are not spatial traps, but frozen time wells, sustained by surrounding low-density temporal substrate. Cosmic …

Directional movement. The main property is the presence of a permanent magnet force direction of movement with a strong attraction towards any main pole of the other magnet (main poles of a permanent magnet magnetized iron main pole of a permanent magnet). In series unlike poles obtain a chain of movement in two directions (Fig. 1), which has a limited length, corresponding mechanisms of magnetic self-motion. Without limiting the length of the chain distributes forces as follows: beginning of a chain - the mechanism of the magnetic self-motion, the center of the chain - any of the major draws of the poles, the end of the chain - the continua…

---Introduction to the Theory of Cyclical Dissipation of the Universe--- In physics, there is a fundamental principle: all systems tend toward equilibrium. From thermodynamic systems to cosmic space, entropy increases, fluctuations dissipate, and dynamics gradually fade. If the universe was created as a result of a drastic disturbance of some primordial state, is it not logical that its natural fate is to return to its original harmony? Quantum mechanics suggests that reality at its deepest level is not static but full of fluctuations. However, on large scales, we observe that the universe is expanding and becoming increasingly dispersed, moving toward maximum entr…

1. Sketching LD’s Mechanics: How It “Reads” Gravity’s Dance Let’s imagine how LD works—how it senses and syncs with gravity’s harmonic ripples to drive drones, build structures, or power spaceships. Here’s a sketch based on your vision: - **Core Concept**: LD treats gravity as a dynamic waveform—a “dance” of ripples in spacetime carrying energy and information. It’s not a static force to fight but a rhythm to ride. LD “listens” to these ripples, tunes into their frequency, and uses them to move or shape matter. - **Mechanics**: 1. **Gravity Sensors**: LD has ultra-sensitive detectors—like mini accelerometers or gravimeters—tuned to pick up spacetime distortions.…

The Kim et al. (1999) Experiment: A Curious Twist Let’s talk about something you know well—the double-slit experiment, but with a twist from Kim et al. (1999). Normally, when you track “which way” a particle goes in a classic double-slit setup, you get two clean bands on the screen: left slit, left band; right slit, right band. Simple, right? But Kim’s setup throws a curveball, and it’s worth a closer look. Here’s the deal: they’ve got a lens in play, redirecting trajectories inward so they cross over. Check detectors D3 and D4 (or R03 and R04 in their data). When “which way” is known, you don’t get two neat bands. Instead, you see two …

the concept of arriving at something from nothing allows for the mathematical statement of everything from 1 void. The logical certainty of this premise allows for a stable and durable fundamental bit and represents the working basis of mathematics, the 1.. As a result, these identical bits infer the concept of the necessity of quantization within reality. The idea that information itself can be "compressed" is analogous to a simple physical act, but is infinitely reiterated and confined within these single points. This process continues until a threshold value occurs within these points. After a certain period of time, the first physical elements appear as minimal surfa…

Here are two like of my illogical processing since it doesn't just relate to one idea it has been rejected by many reddit subs starting it does applying to linguistics because of numbers rules or math because of ASCii and etc their is always a reason mods give if it makes it past automated deletion. I do not know what it is and that makes me 100% WRONG let me make that very clear. I postulated if a higher power wanted us to know the truth would they give a dog a bone one would say and leave some Easter Eggs so I thought yes they smarter than I and I'm as dumb as they R, period. Moving Forward questions why does a unified theory of somet…

Franz Ferdinand famously said “ If you ask 100 people for sex, surely 1 will say yes”. I saw a YouTube video where they conducted this experiment; and to my non-surprise; all 100 women the man asked said no (except one who hesitated and said she wasn’t sure) But how could this work on a global scale? Imagine if someone had access to every eligible woman between the ages of 18-39-this is completely impossible but just a thought experiment. I found that the population worldwide of women between the ages of 20 and 39 in 2023 was approximately 1,170,000,000. I couldn’t find the statistics for women aged 18 and 19; but there is nothing I can do about that and th…

I am putting this here in genetics forum only because I wish to discuss evolutionary pressure and not psychic phenomena pro or con. If there was a genetic connection to psychic ability you would have to imagine it would give an individual an advantage to be psychic and so the expression of this gene would probably be expressed in nearly everybody by now. How many people would be alive if they didn't go around that corner, if they ducked before the bullet hit, or if they didn't drive somewhere. It seems psychic ability is not genetic since we still have the same odds of getting killed and that is probably where we would see the greatest influence of its expression. I…

We are spheres of light. Those orbs. When the universe is expanding/accelerating it´s our awareness expanding. Human awareness is expanding much now or should be very soon so perhaps astronomers will find something.

Somewhere along the line people came to believe the conjectures of archaeologists. Probably this was caused by the fact that everyone calls themselves a "scientist" and we all know that experiment can't be done in the historical contexts. Since experiment isn't possible then some won't even do simple testing. You might be surprised to learn that the concept ramps must have been used to build the Great Pyramid has been disproven and simpler more efficient means are in evidence. Indeed, the use of ramps at all for building great pyramids has been debunked. It appears they used water filled counterweights and funiculars on the causeways instead. There is extensive …

On another forum that is not science based I began a conversation regarding the fact that soon humans would be multiplanetary and most of the measurements that are in current use are based on silly and illogical Earth derived units. I think we need to replace the time and distance measurements. I have a degree in a non science area, so after starting the conversation, I took it to OpenAI's ChatGPT o1 Pro to see what it thought. I did some basic research and displayed my findings on another forum and received some pushback. I'm hoping to find some open minds here, and while I accept that the results from ChatGPT may not be well thought out or correct, that I leave …

If you have a craft capable of relativistic speeds, and whilst travelling close to the speed of light; if an extremely compact carbon nanotube drill were to extend as it unfolds out from the front of the craft, proceeding to spin one section at a time from its tip to its base, it would eventually collapse into a series of black holes from front to back in sequence. This will reduce the length of the drill thereby pulling the craft behind it as the drill continues to extend at an exponential velocity thereby pulling the craft behind it an exponential velocity as well. This superluminal acceleration can continue to increase exponentially until the craft runs out of carbon n…
