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. 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

  4. /*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…

  5. 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?

  8. 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?

  11. 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…

  13. 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…

  17. I am quite upset. I had hoped that Near Death Experiences (where patients in hospitals have been resuscitated following cardiac arrest) would provide enough evidence to show that there is an ego/soul/self that leaves the body after heart stoppage and then returns during resuscitation. Unfortunately, there is a very small number of anecdotal accounts and the evidence is that these experiences occur in the brain. First the anecdotal evidence: http://iands.org/resources/media-resources/front-page-news/1060-aware-study-initial-results-are-published.html The sample number is one, and the evidence is not strong, but, if these findings are replicated ac…

  21. I've lost sleep over this and I am hoping that someone here can help me to understand or at least tell me that I'm wrong about what I'm about to ask. General Relativity explains gravity as being the bending of space-time, and we know that the larger the mass of an object, and the greater it's density, the larger it's gravitational pull. But my theory is if you were to take the Earth, and enlarge it to the size of the sun, that it would not effect as much gravitational pull as the sun does. This goes into more detail below. We know that energy can be expressed in many forms, through wave forms, and light as primary examples. Photons, which make up gamma rays and ot…

  22. As a layperson, I get the impression that, with respect to explaining the nature of time dilation, there is some speculation that one can emphasize the more materialistic role that variations in mass(/gravitation) might play in certain situations rather than the more mathematical role that variations in spacetime plays: Ex. 1: Cordus Time Theory: "It is known from general relativity that a body experiences time dilation in any of the following three situations: relativistic velocity, or acceleration, or in a high gravitation field. According to the Cordus time theory, all these are situations of greater fabric density: the first because the fast-moving…

    I have realised Einstein's dream of a theory of everything. On one hand I have a complete and coherent mathematical model that fully describes all forces in the universe uniting the macrocosm with the microcosm under a simple philosophical framework. On the other hand I have a complete and coherent understand of the underlying architecture of the universe that facilitates the above mathematical model, namely that the universe is a kind of cellular automata. Now prove to me that big bang and evolutionary theology is 'science' and I will share the theory of everything with you.

  24. So you got a brain constructed inside a computer. Your eyes can be designed to look inside the computer or outside at the real world possibly by hooking to a camera. You never get hungry because you control your senses. You can program your food by programming your palette. You can change your shape and form by transferring your consciousness to different brains in the virtual world. You construct your own memory. You model your own house. You design your own Physics. You might have old neighbors. Everything works like an MMORPG but it's free because energy would be free, the hardware might break but can be replaced, and there only requires maintenance from the outside. W…

    I think the Big Bang was a reality. There is a mirror math function at the centre of the Universe.That which is reflected by the math function is something that causes space to vibrate. The expanding Universe is the result of reflection by the math function.The space vibrates and the cause of its vibration is within space itself. The math function at the centre of the Universe controls the extent of expansion of the Universe. Once all that is within space vibrates with a frequency equal to this math function, the Universe will collapse. I think I have explained it properly.
