Speculations

Hi everyone! I'm new to these forums and thought I'd start out with something...perplexing. At my school, we're having a pro/anti evolution debate and I've written a few speaking points. Considering I'm not an evolutionary science expert, I thought I'd share them around for you guys to pick about and see what I am mistaken about. I've pasted them below, let me know what you think. Speaking Point #1: Irreducible Complexity is the theory that humans are too advanced to have evolved from a single cell, and states as a fact that everything we have evolved to didn’t exist previously. Additionally, systems such as the cardiovascular system or the central nervous system s…

No metallic hydrogen in Saturn All planets from 1 Jupiter Mass to 60 Jupiter masses have the same radius. This suggests that metallic hydrogen only occupies 1/60 of the volume of Jupiter. Thats 1/4 of the radius. The surface of the gas giant is defined as the point where the pressure of the atmosphere is 1 bar, Scale height = the vertical distance over which the density and pressure fall by a factor of 1/e. saturn Scale height: 59.5 km jupiter Scale height: 27 km Below the Frenkel line the fluids are "rigid" and "solid-like", whereas above it fluids are "soft" and "gas-like". 76850km = polar radius of jupiter (76850km-300km) = 76550km = Frenkel line for…

So as lizard regenerate tail. If I update my body at age 82 or later on a cell by cell basis going from specialized cell to stem cell then back to the same specialized cell it was except this time it is much younger over a one week period, have I achieved immortality? So for example, me at age 82 or later decided to update my body starting from the cell on my head, for each neuron I reset it back to stem cell, then back into the same neuron it was before, only this time it is much younger, possibly of age 30. Then I do the same for all other cells until it reaches my toe over a one week period, in which now all my cells are 30 years old, is immortality achieved? Theor…

As long as these two conditions are true, a chain of mathematical certainties involving infinitesimals follows: 1. In their simplest form, the simplest fundamental particle constituents of matter have an infinitesimal radius. 2. All fundamental forces propagate as waves, which mediate all interactions between matter. Now, from that, we can start making deductions from applying the math of infinitesimals to time. Consider an infinitesimal increment of time, and the change in a particle's velocity during it. Over an infinitesimal increment of time, we still have to account for the the velocity of the particle in two given instants: - the velocity of the particle …

After reflecting on it all day this is what I decided: All planets from 1 Jupiter Mass to 60 Jupiter masses are known to have approximately the same radius. The density of jupiter is 1.33 g/cm^3 A 60 jupiter mass brown dwarf is therefore about 60 times as dense and made mostly of metallic hydrogen/helium. 80 g/cm^3 = minimum density of the most dense form of Metallic hydrogen/helium I assume there is another less dense form about 8 g/cm^3 What is the true radius of jupiter? The surface of the gas giant is defined as the point where the pressure of the atmosphere is 1 bar, Scale height = the vertical distance over which the density and pressure fall by a fa…

If the sun began as a rapidly growing and rapidly rotating 60 jupiter mass brown dwarf then it was at that time almost entirely metallic hydrogen surrounded by a thin (4000km) ocean of about 3.2 earth masses of liquid hydrogen. Between the liquid hydrogen ocean and the metallic hydrogen there may have been a 1000 km thick layer of metallic oxygen and/or metallic carbon that was 100 times denser than liquid hydrogen and amounting to a little less than a saturn mass. (Based on the abundance of the elements it should have been 4000 km thick but I guess it becomes fully degenerate at 1000 km and sinks to the core of the protosun) When the suns core finally collapsed it wo…

I have come up with a theory for electromagnetism, and what to share it with you here. You can picture to yourself one dimension, in which one side is plus is and the other is minus. A particle has a certain property on this dimension, it can be plus, minus or neutral. When particles with similar signs come near each other they occupy one another's space on this dimension and repel each other. And when they have opposite signs they balance each other on the dimension and attract each other. This is the principle by which the electric force works. The certain charges of the particles and their symmetry (the electron has a certain electric charge, and the proton has the…

We know the electrons mass and its charge and its angular momentum and from this we can calculate what it's magnetic field should be. But the actual magnetic field is much stronger than this. One possible explanation is that most of the electrons mass (and perhaps some of its charge) has fallen to the centre. Perhaps even existing in a completely separate system of shells surrounding the nucleus. This could also explain why electrons prefer to fill the 6s shell before the 4f shell. One would expect the 6s electron to fall into the 4f subshell since the 4f shell is closer to the nucleus. But it doesnt. The 6s shell is further from the nucleus but if part of the…

Let's say you modify every single DNA of a dog to the DNA of a bear, does the dog grows into a bear? I'm thinking it is possible, unfortunately I've never heard of growing an extra arm out of the body, not even through Crispr/Cas9. I'm saying it in the post-zygote stage P.S. If not we'll have to rely on stem cells since it is capable of differentiating, rather than growing it from scratch it's more like sculpturing

I believe i discovered the theory of everything. But i'm not sure about that. I would like and appreciate any opinion, comment and review for this. You can read my research at the following link : http://www.scribd.com/doc/251000080/The ... Everything Also i attach my research in pdf file format. Work_3.pdf

All glaxies at the edge of our cosmos Are going far from us at the phenomenal Speed The reason for this velocity is not known To our recent physics I as a layman assume the cause may be the pull from billions of other cosmos neighbours of our cosmos creating this pull

Greetings everyone, I've been making a semi-realistic sci-fi video game, so I was thinking about the design of the space cruiser, which uses the Alcubierre Warp Drive system to move, researching about references for a ship prepared to this system and movement I've found out 2 main designs, note the difference between them Type 1: Type 2: Facing all these differences, mainly on the pipe structures, I was asking, what is the best and more acurate design? Could someone help me in this one? Thanks; Arthur

/*So like the loops of a computer code as it starts with an initialized point and so starting the iterations infinitely . Reminds one of the singular point of the cosmos and the everything and much more, all starting from the singularity; where time stops up to the point of the big bang we get an infinite amount of universes. What I propose of course in a rather strange phenomenon you have a singularity and that explodes and gives birth to more and more singularities and those singularities give birth to their own singularities for which their own respective big bangs and big crunches would occur and due to the original's infinite energy it can split amongst the ot…

Yes believe me I've checked on Google and the answer is 25 years estimated. Well you guys have probably seen my posts on DNA immortality and digital immortality. We are living at an age in which it seems that both are likely to achieve. I've always got the feeling that someone already cracked the code but is simply hiding the technology from us, how accurate is that I can't really say. I'm keeping digital immortality as a back up plan because it involved mind transferring. I really do hope that before I die I would get my mind transferred and say live for another hundred of years digitally. This really is counting on someone or some organization to have a fully built supe…

I'm not sure if a thread like this existed, but basically DNA creates human body. We're not necessarily creating something conscious, but how about DNA with inorganic materials capable of creating a plane or a car?

This is the structure of DNA. I want to break its molecular structure using a laser and piece it back together later, is it possible? P.S. Alright this baby should do the trick, now how do you get the right parts for recombination like Crispr

I watched a "How the Universe works" documentary on gravity, Michio Kaku was one of the main speakers, and while watching a CGI clip on matter being attracted to other matter seemingly by the mass content. I had a wild notion... I dismissed it at first but since no one really knows what gravity is I'll throw this in for some discussion and make of it what you will. Rather than gravity "sucking" things down, what if gravity was "Pushing" things down. ... I imagined the 'shell' of the universe generating gravity inwards somehow, and like a flashlight casting a shadow but in all directions, since I assume the universe like every other stellar object out the universe is …

Here's a question for you, does a brain without perceptual experience produce consciousness? I was thinking about the nature of brain function relative to the production of consciousness and whether a brain grown in sensory isolation and deprived of sensory input is capable of consciousness. In considering sci-forum views expressed here and elsewhere regarding the brain as not the source of consciousness, I believed this small thought experiment might cogently resolve this issue. So, if you're interested, give it some thought and tell me what you think.

Just earlier I was playing with a sewing needle and heating it up in the flames of a candle. When I set it down on the glass lid of the jar, it spun around quickly in the opposite direction. I noticed the point of the needle was facing north. Can anyone explain how this works?

After 40 years of not having the time, I've finally got around to writing up a thermodynamic analysis of how a trumpet works. Bear with me. One thing a trumpet doesn't do is support even harmonics in its waveform. Any such acoustic wave emerging from the performer is negated by an equal and opposite reverse wave sent back from the room. Seemingly entering the bell 5 milliseconds before the note commenced. The maths tells me that this seems to be the case, but reconciling it takes a little thought. And that thought drifted to the EPR paradox. I'll not attempt to summarise it, I'll just link to the activities of Alice and Bob at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR…

The complete space physics theory. 1) Earth is an absolute magnet as a whole: The earth does have two magnetic poles that act opposite to each other but it is this proposition that balances the magnetic field of the earth as a whole. Thus the effect of gravity that matters perceive is but the central attraction force of the entity, hence gravity waves is but proportional pull of the earth via the balancing out of the two opposite force. (Something about the physics of the entire universe is that usually two opposite force of equal potential energy exist along with an intermediary to balance the construct of space and matters.) 2) Nature of the laws of physi…

What do you think of this concept? Let's go the next step deeper than molecular biology, down to the atomic level where the right numbers of the right atoms have to be found, sorted, selected, and precisely assembled for each complex part of each complex cell for every living entity. Just visualize what has to be happening to build even the first tiny root hair cell onto a newly planted carrot seed. How many carbon atoms have to be found in the soil and seed; how many hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron atoms, etc., etc., etc., have to be found, sorted, selected, and precisely placed for the construction of each complex part of that cell? The nucleus has to be…

So as I've mentioned before. If the cell divide with mitosis, it would produce an identical cell at the same age. Just like I am age 30, so my cell would go through mitosis and produce an identical cell of age 30. Now here is my question about aging, when a cell goes through meiosis it produces cells with chromosomes that are halved known as gametes(sperm and egg). When sperm and egg combines, it produces a zygote which is of age zero (something that will turn into a baby). Now how does a human of age 30 produces sperm of age zero with meiosis? Some suggests that telomere is the key to aging, but when sperm is produced, is the telomere completely restored? I'm pretty sure…

Keep in mind that DNA damage and DNA mutation are two different things when you are reading this post. So here I start another post based on jimmydasaint's request. The question revolves around DNA damage and aging again. About my speculation in simple term, when I was born my DNA is perfect with no DNA damage of aging because I start out as normal born baby. Now as time goes on my DNA starts to get lesions, not mutations, as I grow old, that's what the DNA damage theory says. Now this theory does not go into replication but I speculate that when I am 30 years old and my cell goes through mitosis, it produces an identical 30 years old cell, not baby cell, equally dama…

I am not talking about augmentation, I am speaking of genetically altering the brain for better information processing and possibly different sensory perception. Whether it will be a supplement or a therapy,I have been reading a lot of neuroscience lately, I have a hypotheses and would love opinions about it as well as your ideas on this subject, my hypothesis - If I change the chemical balance in the brain will it be possible to enhance intelligence and perception, will the supplement that is involved be passed on to the offspring ? I will start off with the neurons, the chemical absorbed to produce consciousness and produce dreams is gulamate ,it is what gives the bra…
