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.

Hi Everybody, Please try out this speculative explanation of various quantum effects. It takes this as its main non-standard assumption: the expansion of space does not necessitate a changing distance between any two particular physical objects, and expansion occurs on all scales in the universe. Imagine that a photon begins as a point, but expands it radius by c(t), i.e. the photon gets bigger over time, until an interaction occurs somewhere on its expanding surface. The interaction can only happen at one particular point on the shell of the enlarged photon because the energy of the photon is quantized- it can only give up its energy once. However, the probabilit…

In 1992, E. Podkletnov and R. Nieminen found that, under certain conditions, ceramic superconductor with composite structure has revealed weak shielding properties against gravitational force. In classical Newton's theory of gravity and even in Einstein's general theory of gravity, there are no grounds of gravitational shielding effects. But in quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational shielding effects can be explained in a simple and natural way. In quantum gauge theory of gravity, gravitational gauge interactions of complex scalar field can be formulated based on gauge principle. After spontaneous symmetry breaking, if the vacuum of the complex scalar field is…

We can't see space, but we know it has a shape. Why? Because light bends when it travels in space possibly due to relativity. So why doesn't light travel in a straight line even though the space is bent? That means the space has a limit or shape, that light travels in certain direction of this shape will be less affected or more affected by relativistic effect. Now we can't see space, because space is transparent, but it has a quanta, a space is built grain by grain as I've read somewhere, because it needs a unit, or else nothing would exist in it. Lastly, since it is transparent, and we can pass through it, how do we detect it? The same way that light curves with space, …

This speculation is all about space being a negative energy field while matter is a positive energy field which allows matter to change since the space around it is negative.In other words, space is the southpole while matter is the northpole. For me ,this would reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity since quantum mechanics lies in the positive energy field of matter while general relativity lies in space which has negative energy field.Gravity is the pseudoforce as a result of the interaction of matter and space. After all it is only my speculation, but who knows?

Hello, and warm greetings from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I believe I understand how attractive, as well as repulsive gravity is generated. All we need is someone competent, who could help performing few relatively simple and inexpensive experiments. My understanding comes from contemplating how our solar system (a complete, natural gravitational system) works. It is worth noting that Newton's apple did not fall just under a tree. It fell under a tree, but in our solar system, where the Sun, and (almost) all planets and their moons, spin and rotate : http://www.natura…

I believe elements have not always had the same electron sequences, Has i have tried to show here: http://alphaomegadotme.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/grouped-elements-old-quarkstargalaxyuniv.xls , fig 1/2 are what i believe they where at one time, In fig 3, Shows what they are now believed to be, the difference between past/present electron seq is shown in purple, At this present time Sulphur has an electron sequence of 2 8 6, But i was wondering what effect would occur to sulphur if the electron seq jumped to 2 9 5? Also aluminium 2, 8, 3 to 2, 9, 2?

A continual observation of the world at large , shows most things being a fairly equal spread of having a solid ridged , predictable element , as well as having a vague, flexible , unpredictable content. Are we limiting our understanding of the Universe by always expecting and testing for ridged , predictable , content , before taking a scientific subject area as a serious contender , as a model for reality ?

Let’s think about a logical example: When somebody ask you how many people (whom you know) love you, you will easily be confused. But if you were asked how many of them you love, it will be much easier for you to answer. This example implies a physical aspect: we can not count how many objects in the universe which exert the gravitational force on the earth but we can aggregate all the gravitational forces which the earth exerts on every object in the universe. Why's that. That’s because the earth is unique. It is like you are unique. Only you can feel your love with some people meanwhile you hardly can know how many of your friends really love you. This is also tru…

On the Origin of Relativity Sam Azar Abstract: In the search to explain Coulomb's law, the electric permitivity eo, and the magnetic permeability uo, the structure of the universe from the cosmos to the atom itself is revealed, and possibly the actual cause of the Earth's magnetic field. The paper is concluded with proposals to test the arguments · The velocity of all mass via the big bang is the speed of light. It has direction and velocity; hence it shall be called the expansion vector. · There is only one fundamental entity in the known universe, loosely known as corpuscles, photons, strings, or quanta. I shall refer to it as quanta "q". · Everything in the univ…

I am new here, so hopefully this is an appropriate post for the speculations section. This is about the first principles of gravity and the differences between Newton's version and Einstein's version. When looking at the effects of the two versions, the differences are obvious. Newton used the inverse square law where the force you feel from another mass is inversely proportional to the square of the distance you are from it. Go twice as far away and you feel 1/4 the force. When modelling planetary orbits, you always end up with an elliptical orbit that never precesses. Unfortunately for his theory, the orbit of Mercury precesses. Newton was wrong. Einstein's is quite…

I must be crazy This is still a work in progress. Unfortunately, hackers have been constantly delaying my progress by modifying or even deleting files so I decided to post before suffering another devastating setback which have occurred more than a few times before. I can only speculate as to why. I believe enough is done to validate the convergence of the model and to get a reasonably good idea about how valid the hypothesis may be. Hopefully you can suspend your disbelief long enough to get to the model and the evidence. This post is actually a prelude to the much more important logical model for a TOE which I hope to release soon. It has been on hold …

Could complex life exist on a rocky world with an extensive hydrogen atmosphere? This wiki article suggests hydrogen breathers might possibly exist.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenosomes A rocky planet with more mass than the earth but with a hydrogen atmosphere would retain heat due to the super greenhouse effect of hydrogen and could maintain liquid water on it's surface much further away than the Earth is from our sun... In fact, I am going to speculate that hydrogen breathing life forms are likely more abundant than oxygen breathing life forms... We have already found several large rocky exoplanets, so far they seem to be more common than small roc…

Based on the below simulation wheel gifs The general description of the concept of the wheel 1. the light swinging weights provide extra torque force on the left side (descending) 2. the wheel, in order to balance itself by increasing torque on right (decreasing on left), raise up the heavy ball on the right side (ascending) 3. when the heavy ball is lifted high enough to roll inward (or roll outward) while also push up the swinging weight, the result is an increase of torque force on left, decrease on right 4. the wheel, to balance itself again, rise up the heavy weight again, heavy ball roll inward/outward again..... and so, the process repeat over & over Questio…

1) 1st assertion is that on a Grand and Quantum scale Gt varies as mc2/e. This to say the greater the energy < time and low gravity threshold. Likewise with less energy >Gt! 2) 2nd assertion defies common logic regarding four known laws, but reduced them to 3 known laws(i.e. electromagnetism, strong nuclear and weak nuclear)! 1 Graviton ∝ 10 femto Joules 3) An assumption of mine is that light, energy and gravity share properties unknown yet to man on a quantum and grand scale. G t ∝ mc²/e

We live on the skin of a planet whose gravity influences our rate of time. Researchers have demonstrated one of Einstein's theories of relativity - that the further away from the Earths center of gravity you are, the faster time passes. Einstein was proven correct when two synchronized atomic clocks were placed on different floors of a tall building. After a year, the clock further from the Earth`s center of gravity gained time quicker. By moving about 10 feet to the top of the stairs, you would age sooner by just under a millionth of a second! ...Also, we live here on Earth in a "changing" rate of time, due to moving bodies of mass around us. Along with lifting th…

I wasn't sure where to post this but I presume that the answer to my question is either very simple or there is no answer so I decided to go for speculations. I apologise in advance for the crudeness of my argumentation: If I kick a ball, my body is depleted of a certain amount of energy which is being transfered onto the ball. If an atom of U235 is being struck by a neutron it falls apart emmiting energy but at the same time its loosing some of it's mass. The mass is depleted and transformed into energy. If a star emmits radiation it looses some of it's mass which exactly correlates to the amount of energy that it emmited. Again, the stars mass is depleted. As far as I …

Now don't call me stupid here I've looked at how LCD monitor works. But in my head I am looking for a fiber optic display. Fiber optic transfer light, but it sounds a bit weird having to beam the light on each fiber precisely on the side of the screen to generate an output in comparison to running electricity and changing voltage for an LCD monitor. But hey, the theoretical result is this monitor can act as both a display and a touch screen like this display here without the camera and it lasts a long time. I'm looking into this because of the flexible display design here that peak my interest. Eventually I want to apply this technology to an AR glasses. Now graphene is i…

I have been , and still am , reading about the thrust by the 10 great scientists of history , in their endeavour to understand " How and why the universe works ,the way it does " ? These are :- Isaac Newton, Niels Bhor, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday, Marie Curie, Richard Feynman, Ernest Rutherford, Paul Dirac. Of course there are other scientists of note, but these lay the structural basis for our current understanding of how and why the universe works the way it does . Although not individually stated one thing becomes clear most of them worked from the idea that it was the immediate neighbouring item that caused …
