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.

  3. The proposal is “mass increases due to strong and gravitational potentials, while it decreases due to Electromagnetic potential”. This proposal explains the big difference in mass between hadrons (protons, neutrons, & mesons) and their components (quarks), mass difference between nucleus and its individual components (protons and neutrons), massless of gamma photons, abnormal masses of mesons and bosons, and the excess in galaxy masses (dark matter). Also, this proposal shows the exact relation between mass and energy: Strong Potential = -3.04 mc2 …

    Hopefully this "analysis" is thorough enough to be classed as science : Looking at the practicalities of existing / trading in space. Take a standard mode of transportation - a star cruiser (space ship) - in a space environment. Would the star cruiser be owned by a corporation? What would be the cost of such a star cruiser? Where would you buy the star cruiser? You would assume there are a number of suppliers? In an intergalactic star system suppliers may even be spread across multiple planets? Parts I would assume there would be different parts for different makes / models of the star cruiser. Would there be a marketplace for these parts? How wou…

    The Life of a Thought in the Brain – Jon Lieff “With each mental event, dramatic structural changes occur inside large numbers of neurons1, outside of neurons in the extracellular space2, at the synapses between neurons3 and in glial brain cells4. Remarkably, these molecular changes occur instantaneously5 all over the brain in specific circuits using many different mechanisms (some have been described in previous posts). For each different momentary event, the same neuron can be used in completely different circuits6. Signals in the circuits occur simultaneously with other types of electrical communication7 including synchronous oscillations and changes in the extra…

  6. I shared something but apparently it wasn’t allowed to be part of this conversation because the Bible! And ai! Are not “scientific resources.”? Lmao let me share this here and I will be sharing this post and wild claims else where. Ridiculous. But yall can say maybe the dinosaurs died from a virus? RIGHT. Because if I’ve never heard a more stupid revelation. It doesn’t take “guesses” and then decided conclusion from scientific ARTIST to say that has no place ANYWHERE. Scientist have zero for sure proof ANYWHERE about ANYTHING. That’s why there are theories on the how the dinosaurs died. If there was definitive proof of anything we would no longer need discussions like thi…

    I would like to share a discovery that feels like a genuine breakthrough. It has been present all along, right under our feet and in front of our eyes, in its beautiful simplicity and astonishing precision. I find myself deeply moved and momentarily at a loss for words, as I believe I have gained an understanding that is fundamentally transformative. Please note that this post was intended to serve as a comment on “The Existence Boundary: A Foundational Principle in Cosmology and Quantum Physics?” Unfortunately, that thread was closed, making it impossible to add my remarks there. I plan to share more details as soon as I am able. The title of this work is: A …

    Existence Theory: A Foundational Framework for Understanding Universal Dynamics Summary: The Existence Theory introduces a groundbreaking framework for comprehending the intrinsic quality of existence across all scales, from the quantum realm to the vastness of cosmic structures. At its core, the theory posits that existence inherently resists absolute voids, ensuring the persistence of "something" throughout the universe. Combining philosophical inquiry with robust mathematical modeling, the work formulates a universal equation that unifies density, entropy, and spacetime curvature into a dynamic interplay. Validated through simulations across quantum pheno…

  10. Big Bang: A Beautiful Myth or an Incomplete Theory? Introduction The Big Bang theory is one of the most celebrated explanations of the universe's origin. However, could this widely accepted cosmological model conflict with the fundamental principles of quantum physics? Can we reconcile the deterministic mechanics of relativity with the probabilistic nature of the quantum world? These questions invite us to critically evaluate the foundations of the Big Bang hypothesis. As we delve into this fascinating paradox, consider this provocative thought: "If it was Big Bang, then Quantum Physics is Myth." Let’s explore why. 1. The Singular Paradox: A Beginning …

  11. In modern physics, the question of what constitutes the fabric of reality has been deeply intertwined with the understanding of singularities, the Big Bang, and vacuum energy. However, one fundamental question has remained underexplored: What guarantees the existence of something in the universe, and why is the concept of "nothingness" ultimately unachievable? This texte attempts to propose a new foundational principle, which we call the Existence Boundary (E). The principle posits that something must always exist, and that this concept holds across quantum mechanics, general relativity, and cosmology. The Existence Boundary (E) operates as a constraint on the physic…

    (Note to read: This paper tells a new theory that I discovered/doubted by myself, including the equations. Absolutely, it needs some demonstrations to prove it. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments. Thank you for your patience, and ahead to read what's next.) THE THEORY OF FAMILIARITY: OFFICIAL SECTION The theory of technical familiarity consists that any phenomena who has the same level or type of properties will remain it's state of first position modificated, depending on who's the observer and the emissor. This has too much to do with examples of the second theory of relativity and third theory of relativity. It also explain…

    My Journey into Dimensional Understanding I've always felt that reality is far more complex than we perceive. What if our three dimensional world is just a tiny fragment of a much larger, more intricate existence? My Conceptual Discovery....... I began by imagining a single point a zero dimensional space of pure potential. This wasn't just an empty space, but a concentrated quantum realm containing infinite possibilities. It's like a seed waiting to sprout, holding the entire blueprint of existence. Dimensional Progression: My Perspective; In my understanding, dimensions aren't fixed structures but living, adaptive configurations. Imagine a one d…

  14. (additional thoughts to the Timescape model of scientist David Wiltshire ) Did you know that we, as observers of space and time, have not only our own particular clock ‘(time is relative) , but we also have our own particular idea of what ‘standing still’ in non-moving uncurved flat spaces, means from our location in space (and time). In some sense, the flat Earthers are partly right… We have a particular local idea of what ‘standing still’ in flat unmoving spaces means and that’s our reference point for for seeing curved rotating objects and expanded spaces elsewhere. Wherever you are, you have a particular idea of straight uncurved spaces, that stand…

  15. Curvature versus Expansion: Both Relativistic Observations of Space We observe the deflection of light around massive objects. Light bends due to the curvature of spacetime around those masses according to the General Theory of Relativity (Einstein's General Relativity); From its own perspective, this photon follows the straightest path from A to B. From our perspective, spacetime there is curved, and the Light follows a curved path. To itself, there are no curved paths in time and space for objects over there. Just as the photon thinks of itself. From its own perspective, the paths are straight through time and space for every object within that spacet…

  18. A non-local, faster-than-light correlation involves a non-local, faster-than-light communication when the transaction between the particles is correlated rather than random. Correlation requires a comunication even if it is a “spooky" action at a distance. Also, a time-symetric transaction is simultaneous in time on both ends. It only appears to be either forward or backward in time when viewed from one end or the other. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.11365 “Article: Symmetry, Transactions, and the Mechanism of Wave Function Collapse "Abstract: The Transactional Interpretation of quantum mechanics exploits the intrinsic time-symmetry of wave mechanics to …

  19. A recent idea offers a new perspective on one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the nature of dark energy. This proposal suggests that dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe's expansion—could resemble a superconducting state of matter, composed of roughly 10^123 small "units" called SU(3) atoms, which stabilize the vacuum energy. The approach relies on well-established physical principles, such as the Meissner effect (seen in superconductors) and the third law of thermodynamics. According to this idea, at extremely low temperatures, the Meissner effect breaks U(1) symmetry while leaving SU(3) symmetry intact. To calculate the number of these SU(3) atoms …

    Here’s a speculative theory combining the Miller-Urey experiment, life, and the Big Bang: Imagine the primordial conditions simulated in the Miller-Urey experiment not just as the origin of life on Earth, but as a microcosmic event that could exist universally. In this view, primordial systems like Earth's prebiotic soup might arise throughout the cosmos, forming basic organic compounds. Now, consider that once these systems evolve into lifeforms, they release energy as heat—a byproduct of metabolism. If such life proliferated on a universal scale, the cumulative heat energy could potentially interact with the surrounding universe. Over eons, this heat might act…

    This hypothesis is based on the idea of quantum entanglement. It's well known that observing quanta changes their behavior. This proves there is a connection between the quanta and the act of observing it. I believe the "collective unconscious" is another form of entanglement phenomena. Mothers can feel it when something happens to their kids even if they have no way of knowing. The same thing happens to identical twins. People have dreams of the future ("prophetic dreams".) Everything in existence is interconnected through entanglement/the collective unconscious. There are 3 aspects to consider: the first is "clairvoyance." By building an intelligent AI (an AI …

  22. Yes, of course, but simple math/simulations are easier to master, as opposed to: I wrote "the invariance of c" for briefness. I meant "the invariance of the speed of light in vacuum" and I propose the following way to reassess that: First, you must make a step back, forget/ignore Einstein's space-time and equations. Remember only the facts, like time dilation. Then, you should observe that we measure the speed of light in vacuum using instruments made of atoms and molecules, held together by the electromagnetic force, a force that propagates (is transmitted) with exactly the same speed we need to measure. Now, I propose a thought ex…

  23. time is key. quantum entanglement, and indeed all quantum observable effects can only be explained as acting outside time. "gravitationally mediated entanglement." at a BH horizon, time stops, then rapidly reverses, like the plunge of a waterfall, but in time. time is, in effect, separated, or acts differently to space here. one would transverse a 000s LY SMBH at increasing acceleration beyond LS, backwards in time. ref Bousso/Englehardt. eventually, one would see the BB as a blinding light all around but getting closer. quantum entanglement can act in this space, as if acting outside time. every black hole feeds into the one white hole, the only WH in the …

  24. Hi all! (I wrote this article in my own language first, then i used google translator to translate it into English. Then i read whole text and checked and corrected some words) This thinking is really based on that i try to make phase velocity to be v with assuming new de Broglie frequency and then i check whether de Broglie wave can be wobble/beating of two components since $ m\gamma v^2/h = mc^2(\gamma - 1/\gamma)/h $. And then i try to calculate phase and group velocities of such beating wave. So, to begin with, I could say why I think something like this? I have just enough knowledge of the subject to be able to do some kind of …

I’ve used ChatGPT to help clarify and refine my thoughts, as English isn’t my first language. That said, I’ve come up with a hypothesis I’m calling the Higgs Bridge Theory—and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. The Idea My theory proposes that gravity and mass could arise from interactions between particles in our dimension and their counterparts in parallel dimensions. The Higgs field (or Higgs boson) could act as a bridge between these dimensions, with particles “tethered” to their counterparts across …
