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. 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…

    If coal is fosilised wood then what is the stone on top, fosilised flesh? Seriously, look at some large rocks and it looks like beef without bone, even has fat lines. Other rock looks like fosilised micropes or other. Interesting... url deleted looks like domination, layers = time and a lot of it. My belief is the photo is good as proof it's life possibly sea based, I don't believe it's quite as simple as a big bang. 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. I came up with the amusing idea off all space being full of gravitons which vibrate(spin) around atoms and are boiled off to be replaced with lowe…

    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…

  7. 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…

  8. Abstract: Both angular momentum and momentum are accepted to be conserved values and both of these are contained within the equation L = r x p. Assuming the implied rotation around a central point, they cannot both be conserved when the magnitude of the radius changes. The generally accepted principle is that momentum must change in order to conserve angular momentum. However it is logically proven that it is the component of momentum perpendicular to the radius which must be conserved. Introduction: Whilst working on a project which did not achieve the results predicted by physics, I stumbled upon this. Proof: For the equation L = r x p1. Assuming the implied rotation ar…

  9. I apologize for my poor English. [ About the Solution of the Singularity Problem of Black Hole ] 1. Understanding of the problem : Generation of singularity Generally, stars are under gravitational contraction by their own gravity and it is known that if this is contracted within a certain radius (like Schwarzschild radius), it makes a black hole which even lights cannot escape from. Since gravity is generally an attractive force, gravitational contraction continues to exist in the black hole, too. Thus, in the central part of black hole exists an area with infinite density of energy, which point we call singularity. Such singularity denies application of the e…

    Hello, I've recently been reading about an interesting alternative science theory called "Tetryonics". This post is about a specific prediction that the theory makes, it predicts that because matter is described as a standing wave then it should be able to be constructively/destructively interfered with allowing for "anti-matterless" annihilation through a phenomenon they call a "gravitational electromagnetic pinch" (GEM Pinch). If true this is obviously quite amazing since you could use this effect to create very efficient new sources of energy. I've even come across a detailed description as to how you would try to go about creating one and how it is supposed to wor…

  11. Thermodynamics is pseudoscience in my opinion and those who believe in the second law of thermodynamics are liars. Life on earth violates the second law of thermodynamics and that's a fact. There was a guy from India named Arindam Banerjee who proved that both thermodynamics and Einstein's theory of relativity are pseudosciences.

  12. No he tells us what the Universe will probably look like, based on past observational and present data, and extrapolating that forward...as these theories stand the test of time, they become "more certain" but never really proven, a word you seem preoccupied with. eg: Before the advent of the HST, scientists theorised that the probable formation of the solar system was caused by a cloud of gas and dust in space, that started to collapse.....With the HST, we have now seen this methodology in action in other distant solar systems.....so our theory has gained in certainty.....we are also pretty certain that the mechanism for stars is nuclear fusion, but we have not really …

    SwansonT, And how exactly do you propose that Dr. Krauss show his model is valid? He figures that reality popped into existence from nothing out of the false vacuum in pairs of opposite energy, thus maintaining a zero energy situation (although some little tiny bit of energy had to be the seed, which invalidates the theory, theorectically) ? Suppose my model is that there must be conservation of space, and if space bulges out here it has to compress over there, and reality did not come into existence in one set of pairs but instead six sets of pairs (like the 12 sections of the sphere.) How do we decide which of us is correct? Which is the true thing? Which …

    My advisors on Science Forum are right: Instead of just speculating, I should DO some physics thing and record what happens. I didn't have enough rope to to the rope wave thing, but, BEHOLD! here is this stick with builder's nylon twine wound on it. I measured off eleven meters of it, made loops ten meters apart, hung one end on a fence post and held the other end in my hand, hanging nearly to the ground. I even wrote a "null hypothesis": This lightweight stuff isn't going to make waves. It didn't. Not just loosly hanging like that. All it made was a parabola. So I took a step backward. The string made almost a straight line. But it made a wave. …

  15. pdf file attached if you are interested in the proposed hypothesis, please contact me via e-mail ABSTRACT The proposal assumes that the distortion of space-time due to relative velocity (Special Relativity), and the distortion of space-time produced by gravitational fields (General Relativity) are linked to changes of state that affect to mass-energy. The hypothesis proposes the existence of a process linked to gravity, this phenomenon would affect mass-energy. It would be required to add an additional condition (being a more restrictive scenario) keeping the field equations that define space-time curvature, but by adding the condition linked to the proposed p…

  16. I have heard that the average person has only 1-4% neanderthal DNA. If someone has 4% neanderthal DNA in their genes, can they increase their children's percentage by mating with another person of opposite gender who has 4% neanderthal DNA as well? If the son, daughter etc. have 8% neanderthal DNA can it be increased further by mating them with someone who also has a high neanderthal percentage? If not, can you please explain why the neanderthal DNA in modern humans can only get to 4% at most and not climb any higher? Why is this the limit (If it is)? Do you think the neanderthal will be able to be brought back to life in future?

  17. A model is proposed that explains LENR in nanocrystals. We should expect "flares" of the neutron yield (or, more accurately, the reaction events) in a certain narrow temperature range, the evaluation is performed in the work. The experiment is to heat the powder and slowly cool, while keeping track of the "flashes". Please criticize. guron_lenr_eng.pdf

    Throughout history innovative thinkers have had to contend with tides of herd prejudice. Even mythology is replete with such creative intellects, and sometimes, discoveries will change mythology to history + symbolic embellishments, like the story of Troy. Examples of both types include Moses (the Ten Commandments), Jesus (Yeshua ben Yoseph, Sermon on the Mount), Origen Adamantius (Biblical eschatology, many writers today believe that Origen and Origenism were anathematised by the Roman Catholic Church, but an equal number deny this), Martin Luther (triggered the reformation revealing the true teachings of the Bible, hitherto in Latin), Galileo Galilei (challenged Geocent…

  19. Sorry to bother you. Am I correct in thinking that electrons and positrons which are fermions (leptons) when they annihilate each other produce bosons (gamma rays). Am I correct in thinking both Bosons and Fermions have spin and inertia. Is it possible that both Bosons and fermions are made from the same undetectable substance, which makes up space (strings). If a fundamental particle had no spin it would be undetectable. If it could be made to spin in one way or another it would then be detectable and become a boson or fermion. If the undetectable substance was being influenced by the movement of all the other fermions and bosons spinning around it, i…

    If you know source reason why Newton's third law of motion works, then you can manipulate that source diagram to figure out how to stop motion of one body of equal mass. But theory needs proof. So instead of theory, I am directly posting link of my youtube video. <Link removed> You can watch other videos also posted on the same channel. Please tell me what mistake I am doing.

  24. For clarification using the Gullstrand-Painlevé coordinates. Which can be interpreted as space flowing towards a mass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullstrand–Painlevé_coordinates Is Gravitational attraction simply the contraction of space around a mass? Could this also be worded as gravity is caused by the absorption of space by mass? Whilst Gravitational repulsion is the expansion of space between masses or galaxies? Worse still, Could space be regarded as being made up of gravitons, or little strings?

    I wonder why our scientists do whatever it takes to support the BBT. What is so Unique in the BBT? What makes it different from many other theories? Why our scientists always try to adapt the BBT to new discoveries, while they do not stop even for just one moment and ask themselves if this theory is incorrect? Just few obstacles of the BBT: 1. Size/Quantity - After the inflation (10-32) the size of the early Universe was about 10 cm (as grapefruit) and it includes particles which could fit info 375 billion trillion galaxies. Is it feasible? How can a natural force create this huge amount of particles in just a fraction of a second? 2. Speed - At the end of…
