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.

Abstract of the paper "Pi an Golden Number: not random occurrences of the ten digits". Number Pi and the Golden Section as well as the inverse of these numbers are made up of a series of apparently random decimal places. This paper is on the occurrence order of the 10 digits of decimal system in these fundamental mathematic numbers. It is in fact that the ten digits of decimal system does not appear randomly in the sequence of Pi and in Golden Section. Also, same phenomena operate in many other constants of which the square roots of numbers 2, 3 and 5, the first three prime numbers. 1. Introduction. The number Pi (p) and the Golden Number (φ) and the inverse o…

There is no such (physical) thing as a zero mass particle, because that (so called) thing is a figment of your imagination (=fantasy, science_friction)! A photon has mass (no matter how small it is) because it has momentum mom=m*v. If a particle does NOT have mass (at all) then it does NOT exist, & is only a virtual (hypothetical) point (created by you, as a man_made fantasy) (with zero dimensions). (Otherwise we could call it (at least) a phenomena because it is happening with real (physical) mass.) Any wave, is carried by a (massive) medium (=mass), so mass must be involved. What makes you think otherwise? (Massl…

If our universe is in orbit around something, what would the evidence look like ? If the orbit were irregular ? If it was spinning/rotating ?

I'm going to put this here in Speculations from the get-go, because it always seem to lead into some "uncertain" areas. I've been browsing here for a couple of days now, and I feel like there are quite a few very well-informed and talented people here. This is a topic I've been thinking about for years, and I'd be ever so happy if someone can bring me something new to ponder. First of all, let me say what I am not trying to do with this post. I am in no way trying to back-door my way into a religious assertion. I'm pointing this out because I think some people do use this general topic with an eye toward doing that. I am of the opinion that our "minds" involve so…

I was initially a bit disturbed by having my earlier post moved to "speculations" as I made no speculations whatsoever. But, on thinking about the issue I guess I made one serious speculation. That would be that there were people on this forum capable of thinking. Have fun -- DoctorDick

There is one issue pretty well overlooked by the scientific community. That would be the issue of control by the scientific community itself. I have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics achieved in 1971. I went into theoretical physics because I wanted to understand the universe. As a graduate student, I had a bad habit of reading too much. Every time some professor required us to read a journal article relevant to his work (and some referred to work published back in the times hundreds of years ago), I had the habit of reading the specific journal from cover to cover. I can't say I read every journal in Vanderbilt's library but I certainly read most of them. At any rate, r…

Relativity question: When you make rope waves, the rope doesn't go much of anywhere but the waves do. When you make sound waves, the particles of air don't go much of anywhere, but the waves do. Is it possible that even tho light "waves" move right along at c, the photons are not going much of anywhere, or are maybe even [ G A S P ! ] vibrating in place? (Blasphemy! Heresy! I didn't say that.) Worse! Would that make the array of photons in space be [ S H U D D E R ! ] the Aether?! (I didn't say that, either. Um, the devil made me say it.) Tie me up, men! I can feel another fit coming on. Give me a minute and maybe I can work P…

I'd like to make a formal apology for the confusion (I had) with work. I used books from the 1950's (used in German technical colleges) & other authors from 1990's using the same (wrong) concept which did NOT use the g factor with mass m (partly to do with SI convention usage (weight dropped, for mass) & partly not). (James) Watt's (work) concept of pounds (=weight) yards, per second is (quite) acceptable. My "Work" (word usage) in the COW thread should be replaced by "wark" (to distinguish it as "moma" (average momentum)); except for "work's energy" which is standard physics "work".

I do not believe in Time Travel. Can some one help. Photons of light compress the space in front of them and stretch it behind them causing waves, the double slit experiment works with both electrons and photons, the effect in space is therefore the same. The track of photons in a gravitational field is bent by gravity (the stretching of space) An electron orbiting an atom in a radioactive clock will be affected by its movement in a gravitational field, as will any photons emitted. Can time displacement not more correctly be explained by instrumentation error? If not why not? Is time dilation and time travel not like the kings new clothes. Just because ev…

Retro causality phenomenon: Continuous Motion can only be achieve with the understanding of the law of Relativity as stated by ? ~no preference frame ; and i explain. On Earth the probleme is that the Earth has more mass than the opposite force ,,,generated from the mechanism of the machine so, its unthinkable to use the Earth as a frame because the earth would have to spin with the other frame, the green frame witch is needed to create an opposite force witch is necessary to achieve continuous motion on earth So!~ what i did ; i have replaced the Earth by creating the blue frame and ''pinned'' the blue axis ,witch I called the world axis but free to rotate at its base …

I have been thinking on semi/super conductor elements/compounds and processes, I know there is a lot I do not understand, but would like to ask the odd question, My first, which will help me refine/dismiss a few ideas, Is about the effect of magnetic fields, and whether they do or could play a part in what temperature a element/compound has to be cooled to? or the amount of pressure needed to phase change? I ask this has a believe rightly or wrongly that magnetic fields alter the electrons orbital, either slowing/speeding up, or altering its radius, Take for instance 2d Boron, which is only a atom thickness, but would have to be cooled to 10-20 Kelvin, Would …

Hello you all! Models for the hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like often tell that the relativistic correction acts on the electron's mass as a consequence of the kinetic energy. Though, the kinetic energy equals half the (negative) electrostatic energy, so if the electron carried half of the electrostatic energy, the effect would cancel out the kinetic energy. What do you think? To check that, I took the energy of last ionisation for varied elements so the relativistic effect varies, there http://www.webelements.com/hydrogen/atoms.html hoping the data is measured and accurate enough, since the effect is at most 1%, and tinkered a spreadsheet RelativisticHydrogen.zip (expand…

Dear All Thanks for the excellent support which I have got from you. Now I have much better visibility on the BBT. It is clear to me that the science community takes the BBT as the only feasible solution for our Universe. Therefore, a BBT filter applies on any evidence or idea. This is a severe mistake. Our Universe is infinite in its age and in its size. The Big bang is needed to set only the first SMBH in the whole Universe. Once it is there, by using Higgs Boson, Newton gravity and velocity momentum in space, I can explain every phenomenon in our Universe, so simple and clear. There is no need for acceleration expansion, infl…

I already posted this idea before but I want to share it in this speculation forrum to find it's flaws if there is any or in other words accept critics so that I am able to further develop this idea. So now the idea behind this is that, what we experience as time is actually the change of matter in this space-time reality. What we commonly notice about time is actually the changes that matter had undergone.Time is my idea is merely a measurement of that change in matter in this space-time reality which we are part of. To summarize this idea, here is the formula: Time= change of matter Time here represents the measure of how much change the matter had undergon…

Haywire (Extra Activity/Active Badness) To access white’s potential to haywire, use orange and blue work intersection to realize the white’s work potential to energy through a work access recombination. The orange driving white against the blue with the existence looping back to drive another white against the same point in the blue starts to cause the haywire effect at the point in the blue the orange is driving the white against by stacking up white effect into extra onness in the same spot. Feeding this effect through other colors will activate a felt badness effect. This is because it acts like overactive energy at this point. The overactive energy fed into se…

When I calculate neutron decay, into proton & electron using momentum & starting (both e & p) with light speed c instead of (the neutron's) 0 m/s, then I get a mass deficit of 2 electron masses instead 3/2=1.5 electrons, e.g. what you call an anti_neutrino. Please show me a neutrino "particle" that you claim to have discovered, I've never seen 1.

Every complex natural system has a self-checking mechanism. The solar system is in balance because of gravity, the earth has trees, a water cycle and an atmosphere, living creatures all have regulatory systems. What if life started forming to create balance on turbulent earth and living creatures developed consciousness and the ability to think to keep their instincts in balance? It could be argued that in order to have a complex system, there needs to be some sort of balancing agent and so through random chance complex systems form and survive because the conditions were right but it does not explain the need for increasing complexity. What if imbalance followed by the r…

According to my latest thought experiments the electron should always be a particle. How can it be anything else in an expanding universe? But the double split and countless other experiments prove that it is also a wave. The wave observation might be explained by a principle, whereby the cloud of possibility itself is spinning. Seems to me that this would explain the wave like properties we observe, if for some reason, it stops spinning when we observe it. Is it possible that the detector somehow changes the spin to be perpendicular to the target or perhaps stop the spin altogether somehow? I wonder what might happen if we turn the detector film at a 45 degre…

If our theory of Quantum Entanglement is accurate, could that be a means to other dimensions? Or even more so, since we are all made up of pieces of old stars, planets, and matter, could we ourselves be entangled with other particles in other parts of the universe? Perhaps, visions we see, certain feelings, etc could us be interacting with these entanglements. I like to go down these kinds of rabbit holes, feel free to endulge lol. The questions unasked can never be answered.

I once flipped a coin & it finally landed on edge. I was just wondering how you would calculate the probability of that (happening, because it never happened again). That (edge_stand) would be the (undecided) maybe answer, between yes & no. Assuming we know the diameter D thickness T density (rho) & leaving you free to choose your own flipping method (calculation, e.g. height h, twist rate, etc what(ever) you need, for the normal way people flip coins & coin contour): is there a way to calculate that probability (for edge standing)? E.g. (100%=) 1=H+E+T heads, edge, tails (H=1-T-E, E=1-H-T, T=-H…

I want to start with Schrödinger personally. We have reason to believe that on the subatomic level, in the absence of a conscious observer, all possibilities occur with the actual one being what is aligned when the situation is observed. Quantum entanglement I think? But in metallurgy , there's info on subatomically removing the lattice bonds In Certain metals, to induce a liquid state at room temp. I can try to find it again if need, but with that idea, couldn't we knock around the "lattice bonds" of unobserved confined events?

If I knew what I'm talking about, I would enlighten the world in a declarative Thread. This is just an old man asking what nobody has explained to me in several generations. [The following are all questions, even tho I didn't put question marks after them.] Speculation A: Some DNA or RNA fell in a meteor and was not incinerated. (But that just moves the question back a kazillion years to another world.) Speculation B: The world is large. The oceans are wide. Rainwater dissolves just about everything and flows on down to the sea. Atoms and molecules of just about everything bang …
