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.

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…

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

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…

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…

Here it goes, my invention, the Pulse Impact Engine. Put simply thrusting an engine or piston to cause impact to push the vehicle forward. May impact many times with or without multiple engines but in a pulse fashion to reduce humans suffering from blood being thrusted to the back of the body. You may not believe it's possible but do you know how birds fly? They do so you never know... Yes I have evidance of my invention. Faster than light? Possibly with nuclear...

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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. …

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…

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?
