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.

The following notion seems ridiculous but I'd be willing to bet it's true (everything that works in the source text seems ridiculous). Gen 30:29-43 illustrates how Abraham's grandson, Jacob, became filthy rich by raising and reproducing flocks of lambs and goats through thoroughbred, rocket-like, reproductive stature. His method, if proven, defies all pseudonyms of the common notion of natural selection. It illustrates how a community of related organisms, having something predominant in common (however ridiculous), will strengthen exponentially. This is the total truth about true biological evolution. (This entire principle is first introduced in Gen10:1-9 [Tower…

The observation beyond space. The final matter (Structure of space pockets) The 21st century universe of science is remarkable, the advances in technology and understanding of the physical matters has but only broaden towards more definite cutting edge analysis. But since the inception of complex theories and phenomenal laws of physics during the few hundred years, science has really broaden wide but even the geniuses in different decades and eras have missed to conclude the beginning and end, the tiniest and the largest of the universe from various perspectives. Although I have to say that in between the anatomy of the first and last i.e. in the middle e…

Have we forgotten something (that might help explain)? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/scalar-quantity-can-it-be-negative.407547/ Scalar is the magnitude of a vector. I think that's the best description, (that they described) it excludes the direction part of a vector. In other words if you had to describe, "both" parts of a "vector", 1 is its amount, the scalar (quantity); & the other is its (orthogonal=90 degree) "bidirection" (="double" 90 degree or orthogonal as) possibility. That is a subtle (2+1=3) triple meaning, buried hidden inside. We're dealing with (double) 90 degrees, without saying it. Instead (we say) 180 degr…

Work abstract Coe & com seem unreliable, (algebraically) they can NOT be confirmed; & a (new) cow seems to be the culprit (for explaining the milky way's problems). Mon 2016 05 08 06:51 PS Wi 12.1 C clouds & mist clearing Conservation of energy coe is often taken for granted but some math (algebra) derivations from momentum to kinetic energy (via binomial squaring) have not allowed confirmation. Results were such that simple (energy) addition was impossible sometimes, due to explicid complexer solutions, indicating the more basic momentum mechanics might be prefered as fundamental. To my amazement, momentum (conservat…

If all Protons have antiprotons, Then this cup I hold in my hand, Must have an anti cup, made of anti particles? (a mirror universe). If all Protons have an anti proton and all electrons have a positron, could this create a homogenous field, where Particles and Antiparticles are joined but separated by some kind of natural Penning trap or Casimir effect/dimension? All matter on left side, All antimatter on right side, the "92 naturally occurring elements" on left side, has 4232 protons, then if I add up the rest of the Antiprotons(those not involved within the 92 natural elements I get 25444 antiprotons, this is a ratio of 16% matter to 84% dark/antima…

https://www.endocrine.org/news-room/press-release-archives/2006/testosterone_lvls_in_men_decline Today it is readily observable that testosterone levels in the blood of males have decreased by a fair bit in comparison to males from older generations. What cultural practices or changed environmental conditions could have caused these results to be observed? Anyone have any plausible explanations as to why testosterone levels in males have decreased in our generation in comparison to those born in the early 20th century? http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=63459 Furthermore, what impact wi…

When an object is moving space contracts in the direction of travel so light traveling in the same direction shows a constant speed.. What happens to the space contraction when the light is traveling in the opposite direction from the object?

I think what everyone forgets is gravity is an acceleration g=-(Pi^2) m/(s^2). Acceleration is the only observable, the rest is a math construct with mass constants to taper & balance the equations. Einstein never said it in his equivalence, but if you ask me, the pressure under my feet (or seat) sure feels like a push. Newton also mentioned the centrifugal "acceleration" made the orbits a balance (linear motion tangentially, so to speak). (Escape "speed" is only possible tangentially=horizontal, against the vertical "acceleration".) Let's face, in an expanding universe, why aren't the matter waves expanding too? That's big news for som…

I propose that the universe is mostly well-lit. Common sense proves (pertaining to the solar system) that nighttime on earth is merely a shallow dome of darkness, a shadow on the underside of the earth. Light dominates the universe.

I don't know much about vectors. (Maybe you can help?) Perhaps it's what I don't know that counts? That little I know (& whether it's correct?) is: vectors have magnitude (amount) & direction. Negative (direction) is rotated 180 degrees (angle) in the opposite direction. Vectors are subdivided into 3 major axii (xyz), which are 90 degrees to each other (so Pythagorus's 90 degree triangle rule can be used, easily). Vectors can be added, graphically, maintaining their directions, not necessarily their positions. e.g. chained together, arrow tip point on end of the next vector, important is the angles (orientation) stay the same. Vectors can be …

Individuals like their own species, in general. People prefer to be people, cats prefer to be cats, and sloths prefer to be sloths. Obviously, I cannot prove it. On the other hand, the deer that visit my yard don't knock on the door and expect to be invited in for a beer. You say, they aren't very smart and don't have the right body for it. True, but a wild bonobo or chimpanzee wouldn't either. Why do individuals like being a member of their species? In general we like things that are pleasant and dislike things that are not. We like some things because our bodies tell us to like it, for example sugar. However, some things we like are learned, for example smoking ciga…

I had an idea. I wanted to know if it would work. I theorize that if you have machines that can electrically stimulate the brain and control what you are dreaming, you can have a machine take those little shocks or electricity and put it into another person to then have the receiver receive the same dream and if lucid, have the two people in the same dream, both aware and with both minds connected so each is talking to the other in the dream. The device would stimulate the brain to create a lucid dream. Then, the other part would then copy over the electric signals and put them into the mind of the second person who would be dreaming the same dream, they then can…

Precession happens also on earth. Momentum can be rotated to the opposite side where it then has the opposite direction. That effect depends on impulse mom=F*t, (duration time t). The slower the top turns, the longer the mass (each molecule) can be affected (on 1 side, vs the opposite). Thus a spinning top, will swoop (=precess) extremely low (horizontal) at slow rotating speed, (rather that stand up almost straight vertical). I.e. Longer duration time t, that the mass has (F=Wt=m*g) accelerated down (fallen), (or been left behind, push theory) so the angle is (larger) lower, e.g. further down (wrt top). (Note: How can a mass have force, when its…

After receiving a bad grade for my electrical classes yet again(bear with me for a while). I came to the conclusion that these electronic stuff is just too hard to be man made. This idea though, was left there for the entirety of my university years. Not until a few months ago, I came across this clip on youtube. How computer add numbers. So I was staring at the 0 and 1 bits, thinking if I can figure out a way to crunch the adder until it occurs to me that, the half adder seems too revolutionary to be man made. So I did a search on Google, to see who came up with half and full adder for the binary numbers. The result, such a person does not exist. The electrical engineeri…

After thinking about it for a while, aside from the nanofactory idea. I think you can construct things with nanomachines. The advantage is that if you can get nanomachine to the right place with computer guided assistance and place the material there. Sort of like a pickup item and drop technique. Then with Google's suggestion is to scan the structure with light that can pass through objects. Then you can use the nanomachine to repair or build objects. Although I don't think you can get nanomachine to move in between molecular bonds. So it has to go with a layer by layer bases. It would be more efficient than nanofactory in this case, picking up an item and delivering it …

Yes. Below are links to the experiment and its assumptions and results. You can do the experiment with a laser and household items. Diffraction experiment and its STOE photon simulation program rejects wave models of light http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1603 Hodge Experiment distinguishes between wave and particle caused diffraction patterns http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1712 STOE assumptions that model particle diffraction and that replaces QM http://intellectualarchive.com/?link=item&id=1719 Hodge

The physical property of direction does not appear on any list of physical properties. The reason for it not appearing on such lists seems to be unknown at this time, or least no accepted scientific source provides this reason. Without speculating as to what these reasons might be, there does seem to be a practical method that can be used in order to fill in this area of physics. There is a new model that illustrates the existence of a smooth function that establishes the relationship between two directions (orientated 45 degrees to one another) in three dimensions, simultaneously. It involves concurrent quantification of direction, without a metric, which …

so it's a pretty basic question. Is there any research that can prove my hypothesis completely wrong? so atoms all have electrons and i believe these electrons have a spin that can make electrons move to an outer energy level and then back when it releases a photon causing the atom itself to spin and thus change state of matter in some cases due to the release of thermal energy because of the kinetic energy. The spin of the atom's electron causes the atom to change energy levels this can also happen when you rub things together like two pieces of wood. this is my theory of friction and electrons and how they interact with matter. When electrons reach to the outermost ener…

Hi guys, I read that if nasa had more money, they could get to mars twice as quick. Now I think they meant the long run, as in getting there in 20 years rather then 40, not the actual trip time (about 6 months with conventional rockets). Now I was wondering what you guys would build if you had ALL the money in the world. Now since this IS a thought experiment, there are somethings that you can ignore. Here are some of the rules for your "world" where you build whatever super thing. 1. It can't ignore the laws of anything.(physics, thermodynamics, etc.) 2. You have unlimited money to do what you need to do. 3. You have unlimited manpower. 4. You have unlimited time…

In his book, The Millennial Project: Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps, Marshall T. Savage proposed building "seacrete" (ions deposited from sea water) floating islands to be colonized along the equator to relieve stress on the land as populations grew past 10 billions. His method of making seacrete did not work. However, Prof. Wolf Hilbertz developed a technique that makes biorock from sea water that is as strong or stronger than typical concrete, starting with a structure of rebar and welded wire mesh. Principally calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate to precipitate and adhere to that structure. I propose a kind of 3d biorock printer to make the islands Savage…

I'm thinking of a type of satellite that stays in space. Bear with me for a second, it does now orbit around earth, rather it is placed so that earth orbits around it. I mean whatever you place in space stays in space so it's position won't change. What changes is its direction it observes, like a telescope. Benefit, it is permanent and you don't need to replace it, when you want something else you just collect it back. Maybe there's one built on the moon already, but it's like a space station. This way you don't need to launch a satellite every now and then P.S. I'm saying this because I want to launch my own custom satellite. I mean as long as I can find a way to ge…

So gravity is described by General relativity as the bending in spacetime. The moon circles around the earth also because of gravitational force based on Newton's Theory of Gravitation. But is the moon's gravity caused by earth's bending of spacetime? Gravity feels more like radio waves to me then the bending of spacetime
