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.

Bell's Inequality (in a simple, comprehensible form anyway) states that in a group of items that possess three properties, A, B, and C, the number of items that possess property A but not B plus the number of items that possess the property B but not C is greater or equal to the number of items that possess property A but not C. Assign A as Gold vs Silver, B as Large vs Tiny, C as Bright vs Dull. That leads to the trivial inequality, GTB+GTD+GLD+SLD>=GLD+GTD. Is this wrong?

Bender. swansont. Thanks for the link & comments. I need to read more on sub-atomic stuff (QM). Naturally i will be keeping a good eye out for anything that supports my existing beliefs, namely --- quanta = ok -- antiparticles = ok -- 3 types of quark or whatever = ok -- about half of our present 60 or so particles = not ok. Without wishing to start any off-topic discussion, i might add (just to show my state of mind) that i suspect that all particles have mass (& no other type of particle exists). And that photons are the smallest elementary particle (& have mass). And there are no neutrinos. That there is a sub-quantum aether (giving our field). That we…

I, personally, am well aware that Psychic phenomena exists and that there are, in fact, real psychics out there. If you do not believe then there is no need to participate in this discussion as it would be an impasse. Here is my questionnaire to see if you're qualified to be a part of this conversation. Do you believe that the mind is physical? (Are you a materialist?) If so, do you believe that the mind works just as the brain appears? (Neural networks, connections, etc.) If so, do you believe that information is reducible to changes in our environment? If so, do you believe that these changes in our environment are what determines the structure of the br…

Consider if only one particle existed, then space doesn't exists because space is something in which we can move from one point to another relative to some other particle but if only one particle existed we cannot move that particle or we can't say if its moving or stationary . But if we split that one particle into two or more space is created or space comes into existence space is nothing but a result of existence of matter From this we can say that space cannot exist without two or more particles and space is infinite. Your opinions.

I would like to discuss the implications of neuronal phase coherence in brain activity. Precisely, I would like to know your opinions on neural synchronicity and the role of (synaptic) exocytosis in the neuromodulation of emotionality and saliency. Thanks in advance. tkadm30

HOW SCIENTISTS JUSTIFIED THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO LOOK AT ELECTRON DISTRIBUTIONS OF SUBSTANCES AS THEY APPEAR ON ELECTRON DENSITY PLOTS/MAPS GENERATED, FOR EXAMPLE BY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, TO DRAW AN INSIGHTFUL CONCLUSION ON THE SCIENCE OLD HOT SUBJECT OF ELEMENT REACTIVITIES. SODIUM AND CHLORINE REACT READILY TO MAKE SODIUM CHLORIDE BUT GOLD HAS NO AFFINITY FOR OXYGEN SO DOES NOT CORRODE. AN INNOCENT NAIVE THOUGHT IS THAT SINCE THE SPOTS OF DIFFERENT INTENSITIES AND AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS (PATTERNS) CREATED DURING THE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PROCESS (AT ALL ANGLES) ARE DUE TO THE ELECTRONS OF THE ATOMS OF THE VARIOUS SUBSTANCES AND SINGLE ELEMENTS UNDER SCRUTINY THERE…

A new solution of Maxwell equations for a vacuum, for wire with constant and alternating current, for the capacitor, for the sphere, etc. is presented. First it must be noted that the proof of the solution's uniqueness is based on the Law of energy conservation which is not observed (for instantaneous values) in the known solution. The resulting solution describes the electromagnetic wave in vacuum, in wire with alternating and constant current, in magnetic circuit of alternating current, in charging and charged capacitor – flat and spherical, in ball lightning, in the vicinity of solitary electrical charge. The resulting solution allows us to explain twisted lig…

why nobody sees it? light speed without space is just time space - is dark matter, wrong name, should be dark void space/time = speed (SPACE DIVIDED BY PHOTONS-TIME = speed of light) dark void is space, it`s expands (expands by light and matter) and shrinks - trying to get rid of photons and matter dark void fluctuation is gravity why no anti-gravity? because matter tries to turn in photons in this process matter tries to create abs void which again tries to pull together - that`s why no anti-gravity dark energy is photon sphere inside abs dark body - never seen, best example - event horizon of black hole inside of black hole is dark void, this is why black holes…

Hi, Brain-to-brain connectivity is evidence of non-local biological entanglement. See: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042815018406 I'm looking for positive scientific inputs about the quantum-like nature (entanglement, coherence) of brain-to-brain connectivity. Also, the biological utilization of quantum nonlocality by brain (neuronal) processes is highly interesting. Thanks in advance, tkadm30

The only thing that makes motion is Force: F. Newtons explanation for the quantity of motion was F = ma Acceleration is velocity over time: so, F = mv/t Multiplying both side by t we get Ft = mv; Newton's explanation of motion was Ft or mv; Now the professors of the world of physics say that mv can't be used to evaluate motion. That is identical to saying motion can't be used to evaluate motion. Instead the inappropriate use of two other formulas have taken momentum's place. In an absolute sense Newtonian Physics has been thrown out. If the motion of a balanced flywheel is caused by 20 newtons applied for 20 seconds; then that is the quantity o…

Speculation: the expanding universe is creating energy and black holes are squeezing energy out of existence. Question: has this line of reasoning ever been pursued on this forum? If so can someone point me to that thread. Thank you.

I believe after reading a few different articles on Laniakea the milky way is in a Galactic Super-cluster in a Super-cluster of its own and in each "Super" Super-cluster there a different perspectives in such a way that there is different laws of physics. Another point I have to make is the universe is not expanding its the same size as it start billions of years of go, we just are going towards the center just like solar systems and a black hole.

in the other thread we are discussing what collapses the wave function in the double slit experiment ive been told that its collapsed by the measure instrument i agree with this but a measure instrument has an implicit observation of the measurement results how could you know the wave function has been collapsed if you dont observe the results, maybe it hasnt and you dont know you can not know for sure so if we take its the observer ultimately whom collapses the wave function seems to have been a choice of left or right slit but this is a problem to explain common reality, what if there are two observers and one collapses wave function so the photon go…

So I've been thinking a bit lately. After the very helpful posts by people like Delta212 and Strange to name a few on my Universe is infinite only in the theoretical sense? thread, I'd like to ask a new question. Does the universe exist on the surface of a black hole? Crazy? Yes. Stupid and completely false? Probably. But let's pursue this matter anyways using some rickety but still somewhat logical points I've come up with. Hypothesis: The universe exists as the surface of a black hole 1. Question: The speed of light is the absolute limit of speed for particles with mass, Why is this? Answer: This could be the rate of the expansion of the universe, as if yo…

Dopamine and serotonin are essential monoaminergic neurotransmitters implicated in the neuromodulation of the subconscious system. The pharmacological regulation of dopamine and serotonin via cannabinoids (THC) administration may enhance synaptic hypercomputation (SH), a novel neurocomputational mecanism to access the subconscious system on-demand. Accessing the subconscious system through synaptic hypercomputation is probably relevant to monoaminergic connectivity and schizophrenia. Furthermore, dopamine disconnectivity has been implicated in the pathology of schizophrenia. However, the relationship between schizophrenia and synaptic connectivity is poorly un…

After observing numerous time lapses of the stars, sun, and moon it's obvious the universe is in the shape of a square, and earth is flat with a glass like dome. If earth were a round ball spinning on a wobble the time lapse would show stars going across the sky from left to right. But the time lapse shows the stars are only above us and they make perfect complete circles, which would be impossible if earth were round and spinning on a wobble. The time lapse of the sun shows if you take a pic the same time every day will show a figure eight. This shows the sun starts out on the outer ring and works it's way to the center and back again. If I could post images it would be …

Firstly I want to write a note here. Note:I'm Azerbaijani. If a have any wrong about grammar,dont care about it. So... I made this theory 2 month ago. First I think it is crazy idea, but I think that I need to write my theory here and I want to know what does people think about it. I called it Infinitum and first I want to start with the collision force. This force is become after collisions. Formula of collision force is like this. Fc=(m(1)×v(1) + m(2)v(2))/√1-v^2/c^2. The formulas of my theroies are much but I dont have enough time for write. But if you want I can write much.

Perhaps if the y or z axis was shifted by 90°? Then your photon becomes somewhat of a screw.

Good morning. I had an interesting thought while reading one of my old posts. This sounds a lot like a law but I just wanted to post this here to see if there any flaws in my statement. The universe is finite so long as no one particle or object passes the furthest former borders of the universe as defined by the two farthest outlying particles or objects from that particle or object, these three particles or objects describing a plane, with these three particles or objects being points describing this plane. In this fashion the size of the universe is relative to and described by it's own matter and energy, also in this fashion the universe is infinite, but only in …

Hello I would like to know if the relations below are known? T Hawking the radius of CMB t1 / T Hawking the radius of CMB t0 = (M = total mass of dark energy included) unruh acceleration with T Hawking with the radius of the CMB t1 / unruh acceleration with T Hawking with the radius of the CMB t0 = for simplicity: M t1 * (CMB radius t0) ^ 2 * G / (M t0 * (CMB radius t1) ^ 2 * G ) (1) = Omega lambda t0 * radius of the CMB t1 / (Omega lambda t1 * radius t0 of the CMB) (2) equalities (1) and (2) are thus simplify: Omega lambda t0 * (CMB radius t1 ) * M ^ 3 t0 / (omega lambda t1 * (CMB radius t0) ^ 3 * M t1) = 1 that it simplifies Omega lambda t0 * H0 ^ 2 / (Omeg…

All matter atoms consist of protons (with charge) and neutrons (without charge) in their nucleus. Each nucleus is depicted as being surrounded by as many electrons as there are protons. Hydrogen is the simplest, lightest atom, with just a single proton in its nucleus. All the other elements are made up by adding protons and neutrons to the nucleus. The force that binds the particles together in the nucleus is the strong force. It acts on a very local level, but, as its name would imply, it is very powerful. It attracts protons to protons, neutrons to neutrons and protons to neutrons. So, what is the strong force, exactly? Well, if we have two charged particles, two prot…
