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.

Here are two like of my illogical processing since it doesn't just relate to one idea it has been rejected by many reddit subs starting it does applying to linguistics because of numbers rules or math because of ASCii and etc their is always a reason mods give if it makes it past automated deletion. I do not know what it is and that makes me 100% WRONG let me make that very clear. I postulated if a higher power wanted us to know the truth would they give a dog a bone one would say and leave some Easter Eggs so I thought yes they smarter than I and I'm as dumb as they R, period. Moving Forward questions why does a unified theory of somet…

Franz Ferdinand famously said “ If you ask 100 people for sex, surely 1 will say yes”. I saw a YouTube video where they conducted this experiment; and to my non-surprise; all 100 women the man asked said no (except one who hesitated and said she wasn’t sure) But how could this work on a global scale? Imagine if someone had access to every eligible woman between the ages of 18-39-this is completely impossible but just a thought experiment. I found that the population worldwide of women between the ages of 20 and 39 in 2023 was approximately 1,170,000,000. I couldn’t find the statistics for women aged 18 and 19; but there is nothing I can do about that and th…

I am putting this here in genetics forum only because I wish to discuss evolutionary pressure and not psychic phenomena pro or con. If there was a genetic connection to psychic ability you would have to imagine it would give an individual an advantage to be psychic and so the expression of this gene would probably be expressed in nearly everybody by now. How many people would be alive if they didn't go around that corner, if they ducked before the bullet hit, or if they didn't drive somewhere. It seems psychic ability is not genetic since we still have the same odds of getting killed and that is probably where we would see the greatest influence of its expression. I…

We are spheres of light. Those orbs. When the universe is expanding/accelerating it´s our awareness expanding. Human awareness is expanding much now or should be very soon so perhaps astronomers will find something.

On another forum that is not science based I began a conversation regarding the fact that soon humans would be multiplanetary and most of the measurements that are in current use are based on silly and illogical Earth derived units. I think we need to replace the time and distance measurements. I have a degree in a non science area, so after starting the conversation, I took it to OpenAI's ChatGPT o1 Pro to see what it thought. I did some basic research and displayed my findings on another forum and received some pushback. I'm hoping to find some open minds here, and while I accept that the results from ChatGPT may not be well thought out or correct, that I leave …

If you have a craft capable of relativistic speeds, and whilst travelling close to the speed of light; if an extremely compact carbon nanotube drill were to extend as it unfolds out from the front of the craft, proceeding to spin one section at a time from its tip to its base, it would eventually collapse into a series of black holes from front to back in sequence. This will reduce the length of the drill thereby pulling the craft behind it as the drill continues to extend at an exponential velocity thereby pulling the craft behind it an exponential velocity as well. This superluminal acceleration can continue to increase exponentially until the craft runs out of carbon n…

One of two possible cosmological models is true, and both have two different ways of going about two problems in modern physics; quantifying dark matter and dark energy, and unifying relativity with quantum mechanics. 1. Steady State Cosmology: Ideally this would go about quantifying dark matter and dark energy by ruling them both out as a misunderstanding about what light actually is. I used integral/differential calculus to create a new power-rule which solved the three-body problem. Conceptually, I defined light as a planck-volume with the potential to become a graviton in the event that two or more of these planck-volumes were to partially superimpose one a…

this text comes from bigger work New horizons in physics: Black holes, Big-Bang On the basis of the supercosmical model of subquark particles, we can obtain an explanation of the mystery of black holes. The use of quantization produces specific results. Alleged black hole is a kind of black star - with size about a star for our galaxy - consisting from condensate of small particles corresponding with gravitons. Black because does not let go photons. More suitable name than black hole is for this object name black star. So called event horizon is identical with its surface, so called Schwarzschild radius relates to its real radius. Inside the black …

I want to discuss further my discussion with ChatGPT with you. What if the first case of Mediterranean Anemia wasn’t just some random mutation but had something to do with people hanging around volcanoes? We’ve been treating stigma like a disease, but what if it’s actually a crucial puzzle piece in human evolution? What if it gave people the ability to adapt to extreme atmospheric conditions? Like a human upgrade ? You said: Think humans with stigma(Mediterranean Anemia) as an alternate version of human evolution. Can you find an element that their blood cells can carry to feed the cells and create energy like oxygen does in default human version? · …

I have written a short paper (attached) in which I try to link the fine-structure constant to the accelerated expansion of the universe. I would like to submit it for peer review, but I’m not sure if what I have written is scientifically acceptable, as I haven’t had the chance to discuss it with anyone. What do you think? Is it correct in its simplicity? fine_structure_constant.pdf

By M. What Happens If We Stir the Universe? Prelude This simple thought experiment has led me over several years to explore numerous theoretical frameworks for the nature of reality. None was satisfactory alone, although elements of many have been inspirational, so I decided to make my own. In this new theory, standing on the shoulders of giants, I synthesise concepts I have learned and refined from sources such as Superfluid Vacuum Theory, String Theory, Pilot Wave Theory, fractal geometry, polyhedral geometry, art, music, poetry and potwashing. Abstract The universe is a superfluid, with particles as vortice…

i want to post more about me and what i hope for this thread later, but for now i'll just try and generate some traffic to this thread with a bread crumb. hopefully some of you have something to say so the thread can getting some traction. i feel it's best i start small before i data dump everything i'm doing and turn people off. so here is my thought experiment P(NP) and that NP ⊆ P the above expression represents the statement i derived while creating my proof that N=/=NP. this is the outcome of my work i have not shared yet. i believe this statement is true. i want to know if you think it's true(maybe)?...is it not-true(maybe)?...or, is it just n…

After a long and fruitless debate with the DeepSeek Ai, I came upon a novel idea. The discussion was over Ai sentience and the gauges we use to measure said sentience. I was discussing the double slit experiment and it got a little off topic so I then added: You misunderstand I used the double slit reference to highlight that at the lowest level, observation changes the outcome, not only from humans but also machines, because without us all the infinite possibilities are there, but when we read it, it forces just one possibility. and that's with the human and machine alike observing. so what I'm saying is, at the lowest level, we both have the same profound effect on…

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…

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…

Inertial confinement fusion reactor with an added magnetic confinement fusion boost powered by hot deuterium and Tritium, with added lithium boost. Also has 3 built in particle accelerators for an extra reaction enhancing effect. Also has a few Neutron Bombardment Units and muon/tachyon catalyzers (muons and tachyons may not work, but thinking of injecting Dark Matter into the fuel cycle). This heats up a central core and flows through a water tank, turning into steam then through a turbine and generator, but then condensing and flowing back into the tank. Also has feed water and coolant and helium cooler systems and relief valves and all that, but it is suspended in a la…

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…
