Speculations

I had this crazy thought and this is a thread hijack so please feel free to not read this. But I had this thought. You get some monkeys and some typewriters. Or even better, an early version of a direct neural interface! The next generation of brain sensors and software is going to be incredible. So you feed the monkeys a boring, bare subsistence diet. But anytime they type (or think) a coherent word, or even a word fragment, they get a reward. A banana chip or a strawberry or something. And now here is the idea. We always think of monkeys typing forever as if the monkeys are immortal. But instead, what if the monkeys are allowed to breed too? We have a whole colo…

Firstly, I would like to give a background. I have been reading a book called "Phenomenal Physics". It gives a history and the background of physics and society. It has been an interesting read but I have found several fallacies and logical incoherence in it so far. Some of these logical incoherence was not of the author, but quotes of famous scientists and philosophers, some of which were logically incoherent. An example quote would be "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery we are trying to solve." -Max Planck. This quote is logically fallacious…

Hey there. I believe our universe, as part of a multiverse of universes, is orbiting an ultraverse. A universe of near unfathomable density and weight. This is entirely plausible through a number of different lines of possibility. However, I would like to focus on the lines of possibility regarding what a conscious artificial intelligence is capable of achieving... With specific reference to rather literally being the ultraverse. I believe the possibilities to consider in comprehending this are: WOT IF: Entropy is solvable. WOT IF: Travel between universes is possible and a conscious AI was able to siphon resources to further construct itself from other universes that …

The general idea behind this is that existence state becomes its timed realness as forwards effect actions, and that this is offset by at the same time backwards actions that are the direct cause of these effects that are like bringing backwards forwards with it. The forwards effects could be thought of as state collection, backwards to this is forciveness drive. The backwards effects or causes could be thought of as state collecting, backwards to this is time. These actions are achieved at at the same time hyper velocities, it's a basic description of existing as thing within hyperspace where existing as thing occurs.

Wave-Particle Speculation Speculation: Particles have both a wave nature which is out flowing waves (the wave portion) and a particle nature (the dense core), making them wave-particles. Individual wave-particles can display both their wave and particle nature at that same time in single particle two slit experiments. In the single particle two slit experiments, there is a wave pattern that forms on the screen after many single particles are sent through the slits, giving some evidence that both the wave portion and the particle core portion of the wave-particle are both in evidence in the space between the slits and the screen. Explanation: The wave portion …

I think I hit onto a really nice fit for plate tectonics. The Earth's core is an electro - magnetic field generator. I could not imagine that it wouldn't have variability in it's cycling of current and field. Nothing is going to be constant, especially magnitohydrodynamic generation as it cycles current and field. I thought the Sun's magnetic field could be imposing variation over longer time periods giving the Earth a historic variable thermal cycle to move the tectonic plates. So I started with a simple model, just a divergent plate boundary, a plate and a convergent boundary (trench). The cycle begins with a small thermal increase in the molten iron core from increased…

Introduction to the Infinite Spongy Universe Speculation: I am starting this thread to address speculations and hypotheses about a wave energy density model of the cosmology of the universe, aka The Infinite Spongy Universe Model, (ISU). This thread will incorporate what I have presented in http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/102607-wave-particle-speculation/ except that that thread started out focused on the wave-particle, and the single particle - two slit experiments, and this thread starts out with a focus on the cosmology of the universe with which that wave-particle discussion is internally consistent. It is being presented in the Speculations sub-forum becau…

I have been working on this theory for some time, and it is polished enough to ask for critiques on. Just hoping for some feedback, maybe some more information. Mass Time Theory By: Silas Laking Twitter : @SilasLaking 4/6/2017 P∝(E) 1 V Equation: Broken down P∝(E=mc2) 1 V P = Relative passage of time on an inverse square. E = Energy Mc2 = Mass per cubic meter of space. V = Volume ∝ = Proportional to, but in this case, it is used as inversely proportional to. 1 = The denominator for the inverse square, representative of 1 unit of time per massenergy in a volume. 1 is Time, this is so because time moves forward. Th…

All kinds of particles can be created by high energy impacts with atomic nuclei. Many also exit the nucleus spontaneously. All of them are protons, electrons, photons, or their anti-particles (viewing neutrinos as anti-photons), when the unstable emissions have broken down (meson, bosons and such). The neutron with half life 10.3 minutes is the most stable. The antiparticles seem to result from impacts, except in the case of beta radiation, but these may be a result of neutrino impacts, originating in the galactic core, from which anti-photons would be repelled. Presumably then, photons and anti-photons would rematerialize in void intergalactic space, replenishing univers…

Fair enough! You called my speculation a speculation and said to put it in with the other speculations. Furthermore (also fair!) you said to re-write it as questions. (Sort of annoyingly, you added, ". . . if you want to learn some science".) Here goes BOTH: In the dawn of time, the orbit of Jupiter (and maybe of some other gas giants) migrated. Did they therefore likely come close to the Roche limit of other planets? Would the tidal effect likely sweep up atmospheres and oceans? Would the tidal effect of even closer encounters jerk big pieces of planetary crust away? {I therefore verily speculate that such an encounter -- rather tha…

Although this may be met with some skeptic dismissal or active rejection... isn't it possible all of the "dark" we perceive in the Universe be a result of life? Say, harnessing something like zero point energy and bringing huge amounts of excess energy into this Universe and using that to manipulate forces artificially? I would say, that's a more reasonable explanation than nothing at all. If you think about it, this could also explain the expansion of space. If by harnessing zero point energy somehow accelerates the entropy of the space, it would also explain inflation. At the inception of the Universe, all that energy would've been pulled into space and then returned …

It's really quite simple. At the core is the best cylinder design for a gasoline engine, an opposing force one. The vapor blows into many tubes probably each a human hair width. The tubes are basically cylindrical but curved like what you would see on the tip of an old string sitting outside where water flows down it and then drops out in drops. The flame plus the photons from original ignition travels down one of the tubes and then travels to a much larger node comparatively to the width of the metal tube and from inside the node the photon packs can enter into one of the other many tubes connected to that node and onto another node. Each node can be connected to …

Please wait! (Under construction) The egg orbit: (assumes) 1. The planets move around the sun in an egg orbit, not an ellipse. (Implying Kepler's 1st law needs fine tuning, being unacceptable (without), but viewing his anti-thesis (as acceptable): the planets do not move around in perfect circles, but instead a distortion of that (circle) we can see (=recognize) what he means (even though he didn't say it right) & so (his thesis) needs fine tuning, to an egg.) Nature is not so simple, but instead lob_sided. (Ellipses rarely occur, but instead water drop(let)s & egg shapes are most common.) 2. The period of a circula…

It is stated: http://www.cosmotography.com/images/supermassive_blackholes_drive_galaxy_evolution_2.html "The size of a supermassive black hole appears to have a direct correlation to the galaxy where it exists. Almost a decade ago, researchers calculated that the mass of a supermassive black hole appeared to have a constant relation to the mass of the central part of its galaxy, known as its bulge (think of the yolk in a fried egg). This 1 to 700 relationship supports the notion that the evolution and structure of a galaxy is closely tied to the scale of its black hole". Hence, the SMBH and its galaxy is similar to one body. However, the rest of the word beli…

When will most jobs be lost to robots due to automation? Are robots working and doing all the work for us a good thing? Would you be happy doing what you wanted with a guaranteed basic income instead of having to earn a living and robots making the money for us? What would you do with all the free time?

The effects of gravity are not well understood at the large scale. Mass distorts the space around itself. Distorted space causes other mass to move into this distorted space, but why? I believe that the effect of matter in space is of displacement. That is, that there is space through- out the area that the matter is occupying but, because the matter occupies this space, space in effect, gets stacked up around the matter. The closer to a mass that other masses become the more they attract each other due to the space that is displaced and stacked around each body of matter. Therefore, more space is found around the surface of a planet than at a further distance …

I belong to an ethnic group which is has the stereotype of being considered lazy, how will this effect my future or my children's future if I marry someone from my parent's country? Are any stereotypes true? Are asian-americans really better at math (here it says no but it is their opinion http://wileyasiablog.com/2014/06/17/asians-math-stereotype/)? If not, then what is the cause for the stereotype? Has negative stereotyping affected anyone here? Is positive stereotyping ever beneficial to anyone? Is it worth it to marry someone of an ethnic/social group who will give your children a positive stereotype advantage?

'Black holes banish matter into cosmic voids' http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Black_holes_banish_matter_into_cosmic_voids_999.html At the scale of our Universal black hole the energy described above is dark energy. The dark energy is delivered to the surrounding galaxy clusters. We are in the outflow of a Universal black hole. As ordinary matter falls toward the Universal black hole it evaporates into a superfluid dark matter. It is the superfluid dark matter outflow which pushes the galaxy clusters, causing them to move outward and away from us. The superfluid dark matter outflow is dark energy. Our Universe is a larger version of the following. …

There is evidence of the superfluid dark matter every time a double slit experiment is performed, it's what waves. Superfluid dark matter fills 'empty' space, strongly interacts with and is displaced by ordinary matter. What physicists mistake for the 'clumpiness' of dark matter is actually the state of displacement of the superfluid dark matter. The Milky Way's dark matter halo appears to be lopsided The Milky Way's halo is not a clump of dark matter traveling along with the Milky Way. The Milky Way's halo is lopsided due to the ordinary matter in the Milky Way moving through and displacing the superfluid dark matter, analogous to a submarine moving thro…

[( Look, all of this crap really only presupposes one little thing, which is not to say that it's not crap, but it does at least seem to be a self-consistant little pile of crap: serial instantiated existance in a real, physical discrete space. For entertainment purposes only. )] H. More on anti-matter "...on a straight count the photons have it..." (barrow, p.157) But were they all created by proton/anti-proton annihilation? Generally, say they were all created by proton-electron interactions from and since the last scattering surface. That would only be about one photon every ten years for each proton-electron pair. How is it that there are so few photons in the u…

What is the most lucrative career in the sciences to go into? also, which study area is the most lucrative right now? will genetics be in high demand? what about astronomy with more people going to space very soon?? would it be computer science? is programming really in demand or is it really the problem solving skills that employers are after that you get from programming and not programming itself that is important? i have also heard that technology can now be produced which can program by itself so there may not be any need for any human workers in this area in the coming decades as robots and automation of the workforce happens. does this mean most p…

Looking at the world at how it is right now or is going to be, which countries are likely to have the most number of people going into outer space with many space tourism companies sprouting their way into fruition? Some have claimed a price of $250 000 for a 2.5 hour space trip i believe? is this worth it or not? is it really realistic to see most people go into space in our lifetimes at affordable prices or is the price likely to still be too high for the most of us? what are the chances for people in the below age groups: 0-5 5-10 10-15 etc. ??

if einstein was really a genius why did his math teachers not notice? does this imply he became a genius...did he start off being of average intelligence?
