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.

    I have been thinking about my Unified Spacetime Theory for more than 20 years, and just recently decided to use AI to turn my ideas into equations. Originally, back in 2001, I submitted a paper to the Physical Review D, and attempted to get published way back then. However, I was untrained, and there were no equations, lol. For 20+ years I've only had a strong vision about the nature of the Universe. I can't do the math, but I have trained a custom GPT, that started with simply my ideas, and once AI got good enough, I used it to turn my ideas into equations. I guarantee that the math and logic of UST is top knotch, no ad hoc terms, parameters or equations are used. The or…

  3. Hello everyone, I’ve recently published a preprint proposing a theoretical reformulation of the electromagnetic (EM) vacuum. The idea is to treat the EM vacuum, within standard QED and canonical quantization, as a globally pure Gaussian state that is locally mixed due to entanglement with inaccessible modes. The vacuum is considered not just as a formal background, but as a physically structured and accessible quantum state. The framework introduces a model-independent impurity parameter p (no assumed microscopic mechanism), which leads to falsifiable operational consequences: specifically, a uniform elevation in quadrature noise detectable by homodyne detection, and a fi…

  4. Theory of the Last Broadcast Some SETI researchers and writers have speculated that rare, unexplained space radio signals (like the 1977 Wow! signal) might be the “last transmissions” of dying alien civilizations. In this view, a collapsing society might broadcast an SOS or farewell message in its final moments. To evaluate this idea, we survey documented one-time signals, their shared features, expert commentary on “dying civilizations” signals, and analogous human cases (emergency beacons, black boxes) along with relevant SETI speculation and science fiction. Notable Unexplained Signals WOW! signal (1977, Big Ear) – A 72-second narrowband spike detected on Aug 15, …

    INTRO This system is nothing more than dimensional analysis: Distance, Mass, Time and Charge, into which hard data can be substituted for real results. For example, for M substitute the mass of an electron or an elephant and see the result. Given that it is just dimensional analysis it is very, very hard to go wrong. BASIS OF ARGUMENT Where D (metres) is the reduced Compton wavelength of mass M (kg) then Planck's constant h = 2piDMc. The symbol D denotes displacement or distance. ±2pi denotes intrinsic angular momentum. DM = h/2pic and because h, 2pi and c are all absolute constants then DM (m kg) is also an absolute constant. Nothing more than dimensional analysis. DM is…

  9. 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…

  10. 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 …

  11. Started by sethoflagos,

    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…

  18. 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…

  20. ---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…

  21. 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.…

  22. 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…
