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.

  1. 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…

  3. ---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…

  4. 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.…

  5. 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 …

  6. What if time is the progression of a singularity projecting space onto the event horizon which behaviors following string theory, finally projects space out of a blackhole?

    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…

  10. 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.

  13. 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 …

  14. 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…

    One of two possible cosmological models is true, and both have two different ways of going about two problems in modern physics; quantifying dark matter and dark energy, and unifying relativity with quantum mechanics. 1. Steady State Cosmology: Ideally this would go about quantifying dark matter and dark energy by ruling them both out as a misunderstanding about what light actually is. I used integral/differential calculus to create a new power-rule which solved the three-body problem. Conceptually, I defined light as a planck-volume with the potential to become a graviton in the event that two or more of these planck-volumes were to partially superimpose one a…

  18. this text comes from bigger work New horizons in physics: Black holes, Big-Bang On the basis of the supercosmical model of subquark particles, we can obtain an explanation of the mystery of black holes. The use of quantization produces specific results. Alleged black hole is a kind of black star - with size about a star for our galaxy - consisting from condensate of small particles corresponding with gravitons. Black because does not let go photons. More suitable name than black hole is for this object name black star. So called event horizon is identical with its surface, so called Schwarzschild radius relates to its real radius. Inside the black …

  19. I want to discuss further my discussion with ChatGPT with you. What if the first case of Mediterranean Anemia wasn’t just some random mutation but had something to do with people hanging around volcanoes? We’ve been treating stigma like a disease, but what if it’s actually a crucial puzzle piece in human evolution? What if it gave people the ability to adapt to extreme atmospheric conditions? Like a human upgrade ? You said: Think humans with stigma(Mediterranean Anemia) as an alternate version of human evolution. Can you find an element that their blood cells can carry to feed the cells and create energy like oxygen does in default human version? · …

  20. I have written a short paper (attached) in which I try to link the fine-structure constant to the accelerated expansion of the universe. I would like to submit it for peer review, but I’m not sure if what I have written is scientifically acceptable, as I haven’t had the chance to discuss it with anyone. What do you think? Is it correct in its simplicity? fine_structure_constant.pdf

    By M. What Happens If We Stir the Universe? Prelude This simple thought experiment has led me over several years to explore numerous theoretical frameworks for the nature of reality. None was satisfactory alone, although elements of many have been inspirational, so I decided to make my own. In this new theory, standing on the shoulders of giants, I synthesise concepts I have learned and refined from sources such as Superfluid Vacuum Theory, String Theory, Pilot Wave Theory, fractal geometry, polyhedral geometry, art, music, poetry and potwashing. Abstract The universe is a superfluid, with particles as vortice…

  23. After a long and fruitless debate with the DeepSeek Ai, I came upon a novel idea. The discussion was over Ai sentience and the gauges we use to measure said sentience. I was discussing the double slit experiment and it got a little off topic so I then added: You misunderstand I used the double slit reference to highlight that at the lowest level, observation changes the outcome, not only from humans but also machines, because without us all the infinite possibilities are there, but when we read it, it forces just one possibility. and that's with the human and machine alike observing. so what I'm saying is, at the lowest level, we both have the same profound effect on…
