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.

    For some reason over the years just before a hurricane I get extreme bouts of depression. I'm not sure if it's psychological or physiological. Could dropping air pressure before the storm be a connection?

    Let's take a rod. A hollow cylinder. Let's put it horizontaly, with a laser device at one end. The rod is standing still at rest. Let's open the laser for a time T so that light travels inside the cylinder a distance D. In Spacetime, light goes from point A to B, having travelled the interval X. Something like fig.1 here below: In this diagram, speed of light, C, is the angle of the line AB. It is expressed as a fraction: meters/seconds. Because we are measuring light, we can pose that [math] D=CT [/math] (1) From the diagram, using Pythagoream theorem, we can pose that [math] X^2 = D^2 + T^2 [/math] (2) Replacing (1) in (2) we get [math] X^2 = C^2 T^2 …

  4. Getting a handle on GRAVITY is EASY . Understanding GRAVITY seems difficult . I think this bench top experiment , possibly , hints at a facet of the nature of Gravity ? SETTING The early founders of Quantum Mechanics based some of their early research on Observations of Phenomenon , on a ' Bench Top Setting', in the area of electronics , vacuum tubes, emission of light ranging from infra red to Ultra Violet , and it was not long before this led to the establishment of Quanta around the emission of Electro Magnetic Waves from within the Atom .

    If the multiverse theory is true, it means that there are infinite number of planets, in fact infinite number of planets exact same as ours. There are infinite number of ''ME'' out there living the exact same life as me. Now you may agree or disagree of the theory, but if we take the path I did, which is that I believe in the theory, then I want to ask some basic questions: 1. If the theory is right and there is infinite multiverses out there , existing for eternity without beginning and without an end, does it mean that I personally , after I die, will live again the EXACT same life as I did this life, because according to quantum physics, energy can't be destroyed. Th…

  7. One night after binge watching many science shows, I was contemplating. I can't accept that the Universe we live in came from nothingness. Everything we were ever taught says that "nothing is for free". There had to be something from before. I slept that night and it came to me in a dream. I saw a massive explosion in space and the following collapse into a Black Hole in what seemed to be a brighter more energetic universe. But it didn't stop there. I seen what happened on the "other side". A great white light that instantly expanded into another universe. I thought, could it be? It certainly makes sense. You can never prove it though. Certainly I'm not the only o…

  8. Recently, I was thinking about the nature of reciprocity in some cases of natural phenomenon, for example, Newtons Thrid Law of Motion, or, Faraday's Law of Induction. Considering that spacetime distortion, due to a gravity field, leads to a change in the light path, or, a change in light velocity, when observed from a region with diferent spacetime metric. Would a induced change in light velocity, induce a distorion in spacetime (to keep c constant at local reference), thus, generating gravity? And, lets consider that the propagation of the light (in vacuum) would be distorted (or have its aparent velocity changed) by some hypothetical advanced technology. It's the o…

    We die because our cells die. But it's a little more complicated than that. Though our cells replace themselves over and over again for 70-odd years, they can't do so forever. See, inside each cell are 'telomeres, 'at the end of our chromosomes these contain genetic information that continuously gets clipped away when each new cell divides, over and over again. Telomeres start out long enough to handle a great many scissor snips. But eventually, they run out of length, the information they held is lost and the cells cannot divide anymore - death. This is the age of science and progression, scientists now have a great understanding of why and how we die - som…

    I would like to talk about the free energy magnetic motor. Many people have been able to consruct devices that use the energy magnets generate to soon different kinds of electric generators. There are several examples if you search "free energy motor" on YouTube. In all of the videos I have watched, every free energy motor is turned on via manual mechanical interference. I would like to propose a hybrid stationary electromagnet with conventional magnets afixed a rotor. the system will be first applied to charging 12vdc car batteries via alternator. The plan is to move up to the higher voltage hybrid and electric batteries on the second stage. Altenators put out a c…

    I would like to present an invention I have been working on. It is an electric generator that powers itself. The model is quite simple in theory. There are three main components, a pump, an alternator/water wheel hybrid, and 3 deep cycle batteries. The idea comes from integrating a variation of Pelton's water wheel with an axial flux alternator, like the ones used in wind turbines(Hugh Piggots model for example), so basically a wind turbine that has little "cups" instead of blades. The pump is to produce enough force to spin the water wheel-alternator hybrid which would generate the electricity needed to operate the pump as well as enough to trickle charge a battery. The …

    So, I was reading an article on entanglement the other day that popped up on the main stream media, and it started me thinking. Dangerous, I know. I've always been one of those skeptics in many aspects of physics, like the idea of a big bang, or time, or space-time. I have to see things for myself to believe it. I have to admit, after spending 30 years searching for a better explanation, I always seem to find my way back to Einstein, and the big bang. And believe me, I came to these realizations kicking and screaming. The man was brilliant, and science seems to have things pretty well under control. I never gave quantum entanglement much thought. It was just…

    Everything in our observable universe exists in space. Space is not nothing. Invisable energy and matter make up a greater portion of the universe than all of the matter and detectable energy combined. Space is not nothing. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you split an atom(smaller than a human eye can see) you get a release of energy hard to miss for miles. If you were to crush all of the "space" out of an atom the reaction must me opposite. Instead of an energy release, I believe energy would be condensed(rather than released) into matter. Black holes are something of the same nature. The idea of a body in space with an infinite density where…

Which got be thinking, analyzing a star I'm wondering if it's in any way possible they could be alive.

The frequency of the falling edge corresponds to one of own frequencies of the LIGO-detectors before and after the event: 2. The signal is harmonious.

    Alright so we've all heard people growing back their cut finger with cellular matrix or amphibian with limb regeneration. Now assuming a limb is amputated, how does the body knows what structure it should grows back? For instance if I am missing my middle finger, it will have to grow back with the exact same length and size without missing a single cell(let's assume scar tissue is not the case). Now let's say I want to trigger a particular cell to renew itself without having a wound, it should also possible. All wounds heal, so it should be possible to trigger the entire body to recover from a wound, without having a wound. Now what is left is the strength of such regener…
