Speculations

Hey, Im new here, I have a theory I thought up and my friend suggested I post this here. I have no idea whether this could be plausible or not, however I have an idea for how higher dimensions work above the 4th. So the other day I saw a video talking about using higher dimensions as shortcuts to travel such as if you draw a line on a piece of paper you can instead of going along the line, you could fold the paper and go directly from point a to point b, similar to how a wormhole would work in theory. So where I started thinking was I imagined the 4th dimension 'time' as the entire span of a single timeline as a single point. and so if you wanted to reach a different time…

Plants are modular organisms, capable of learning, remembering, and making decisions. In their own pace of life, plants take the most of their environment to make intelligent choices. For plants, lacking a brain is a brilliant survival strategy, because herbivores could eat it at any moment. If they do not have a brain, where is their intelligence? Read more advertising removed

how do cameleons change colour?

Hello internet. My name is Kyle, I am a third year electrical engineering student at the University of British Columbia (in Canada) and I am looking for the help of those of you who are mathematically trained or so inclined specifically within the fields of Group Theory, Lie Algebra, and Invariants. I have stumbled across a very interesting problem that I would like to either solve or see solved, but I have realized lately that it could take me years worth of research to do so while someone who is already an expert in the aforementioned fields might be able to solve this problem very quickly, that is not to say that I am giving up on trying. What I am proposing to solve I…

The host of this MinutePhysics YouTube video says that if time travel were possible something called Quantum Supposition suggests that one could kill his or her grandfather from an earlier time and not vanish from existence as a consequence. To those of you who are more knowledgeable than I on the relevant theoretical physics, what are your thoughts? Are the host's assertions valid?

I want to create a nanomachine built based on carbon molecules to act as different types of enzymes, is this possible? To begin with, I know an enzyme has active site that allows substrate to enter and exit, is it possible to achieve the same with carbon molecules?

Sadly my original post was closed, so I will continue here, on what seemed to be ok with the moderators. I have bought tin foil and made a Psi Wheel out of it. At first I made a big one and the results were not so good, then I made a smaller one, and the results were excellent. It basically moves/spins ALL THE TIME I am trying to get it to move. When I leave it alone and back away it is still. This is quite exciting for me, and I think I am just about ready now with these new results to go to the academy and show them this. I also tried moving it with the glass bowl covering it, but unfortunately it does not move yet. Hopefully I can get this to happen in the future. …

A couple of questions on the Proton, First I wonder if anyone can explain "simply" how we get the mass 938.272mev? I have noticed their are different measurements for the proton using electrons or muons which give a different measurement of proton. I ask this because I have got a measurement of 930.64mev, within my pet model, which is 0.82% different. within my model I have a proton with a diameter of 1.73 femtometers, radius 0.865fm. but I do not have a perfect sphere(slight oval) 173fm horizontal diameter, 172 vertical diameter, if I want the diameter of as sphere I times the diameter(173) by pi 3.141 =543.393 but if I use the horizontal diameter 172…

I am just wondering how far along or how advanced is our technology in regards to manipulating individual nucleotides and amino acids. For a simple example: can we make an AUC sequence in the lab? Can we multiply that? Can we drop a million of these sequences in a bucket of water? Can we do something similar with amino acids? Just trying to see were we stand in the technology. If someone can steer me towards the appropriate and accessible information that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I remember a dream a night. When I'm lucky 2-3 dreams in a night. I find them fascinating. I do not believe dreams are anything other than manifestations of the subconscious but they are fun all the same. I would be interested in reading dreams other posters have had, theories about what dreams are mean, or why we have them. The Dream I had last night: When the dream began I was in an enclosed office on the 3rd down from street level beneath a hotel. The office door opened to a hallway but was closed. in the dream I understood that there were people in the hallway looking for me. I laid on the floor and peered under the door. I was able to see a pair of female dre…

Not sure which forum this post should be in. Maybe it should be in news. I suspect the NSA is filtering phone calls with similar technology, except voice activated with automatic translation. (not news). If not, they will be soon. In fact, every form of electronic communication may be filtered, if not by the NSA, then another less scrupulous entity...country, corporation, or crackpot. Laser microphones can detect vibrations in windows and listen to conversations behind closed doors. WiFi can detect people moving within buildings, perhaps detect heartbeats. Ubiquitous electronics with AI will be able to track every person on Earth from cradle to grave, no need fo…

So I want to know if a nanomachine can be constructed that reads DNA in the human body in real time as letters. I got this idea when I was reading this paper. So it could be an enzyme that would loop through the entire DNA segments with a wireless device attached that is capable of transmitting the results back, either that or we would have to monitor the result through a fairly detailed MRI using visualization technique. Both should be doable, but do let me know which is a better way. I'll let you guys decide

I have come to few small hypothesis about time that might explain some of the while paradox in the quantum physics, including the two slit experiment and the quantum entanglement. However, since this is the first time I’ve written this info in public, and I’m not aware of the requirements of publications, my explanation will most probably require help from a community to achieve a well design standard for communicating hypothesis. Also, I would need help of specialist from different areas in the physics. Unfortunately, I'm just a curious of physics and it’s not even a concentration of my studies, therefor I depend on information references, corrections and confirmation. …

How do you disprove people who believe in these pseudoscience stuff? Scientists Discovered Message from God in Human DNA Code!! Humans with Superpowers!! Some of my coworkers are starting to believe some of these pseudoscience. I normaily say if it does not make big news like CNN and only on youtube or a web site it is pseudoscience.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Hello everyone! I am new here on the forums, and have created my account to propose an idea I had recently. My main goal here is to first see if these thoughts have been published elsewhere before, because I could not find anywhere in which they had been. That being said, I figure someone else out there has thought this up prior to me, so please do inform me if that is the case. Second, I would like opinions as to if this would make sense and explain a few phenomena in our universe. My idea is not unlike a few theories out there, such as a few variants of the Multiverse theory. However, my proposal is that unlike those current theories, that we live in a universe wh…

I Think this is important to post and I think is urgent. It is a video from a former NASA Scientist indicating that a Magnetic Pole Shift Reversal is imminent. We can discuss what a Magnetic Reversal is, but I think the video does a good job to give some partial explanation. I posted this also because I had a recent dream about A Magnetic Pole Reversal taking place and I was informing people what was going on and I've found this video.

Please look at the following orbits of 6 stars around suppermassive black hole candidate Sagittarius A* at the Milky Way's centre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*#/media/File:Galactic_centre_orbits.svg Please focus on S13. Its path is very round and circular. Therefore, based on Newton and Kepler, I would expect to see the B.H just at the center of that circular path. So how could it be that the Supper massive B.H. isn't located at the center?

Hey all.....new guy here. thanks for having me! I am a post grad Biology student currently working in my Master's here in Texas. One of my earliest Biology "heroes" and indeed one of the figures who got me interested in entering the field was Rupert Sheldrake. He of the infamous Morphic Resonance theories. Well, I reckon they are actually hypotheses. As none of them have been proven. Most are very controversial. If not incendiary and considered by some of the more staid of his colleagues to be downright heretical. But yet, they have always fascinated me. I still work on them. Trying to find evidence of them. Nature's Memory. It Learns and communicates with oth…

As you know, a person of age 29 should be able to create cell through meiosis that is of age 29 identical to the original cell, the cell does not become younger or older. However, sperm created through mitosis combines with egg to form a zygote of age 0. If the DNA damage theory is true that our cells DNA are damaged as we grow old, how come the sperm's DNA is not damaged, did we do a perfect repair on sperm's DNA to bring it back to age 0?

If we use generator of gravitational waves instead of electric generator can we get electricity or another stream of energy in wires?

I have done some research into traveling across space and it seems the answer is right in front of us. I will attach a diagram to explain the theory more clearly. I did get my information from two different ideas which I will post links to both sites so others may google it and agree or disagree. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v502/n7469/full/nature12512.html This link talks about photons combining. http://www.isciencetimes.com/articles/6986/20140324/scientists-demonstrate-three-way-quantum-communication-light-speed.htm This article talks about photons communicating with each other. Picture of idea attached As you combine theses photons …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster It is stated: "The Bullet Cluster (1E 0657-558) consists of two colliding clusters of galaxies. Strictly speaking, the name Bullet Clusterrefers to the smaller subcluster, moving away from the larger one. It is at a co-moving radial distance of 1.141 Gpc (3.7 billion light-years).[2] "The Bullet Cluster provides the best current evidence for the nature of dark matter[4][8] and provides "evidence against some of the more popular versions of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)" as applied to large galactic clusters" "At a statistical significance of 8σ, it was found that the spatial offset of the center of the total m…

TIME Why is the future not knowable in the way the past is knowable? Why does time seem to flow in one direction? Why is there an arrow of time? What is time? These seem like difficult questions, but they are not. There is a simple path to an accurate understanding of their answers. To begin to understand these questions, consider the expansion of an inflating balloon. Its surface is expanding such that if you pick any point on the balloon, every other point on the balloon recedes from the point you picked. If you think about how this works everywhere on the balloon, you realize that what is really happening is that new area is flowing in the balloon's su…

Description of the hypothesized phenomenon: Local Isotropic length contraction that is associated with time contraction and energy expansion OR Local isotropic length expansion that is associated with time expansion and energy contraction OR Local velocity-invariant length contraction/expansion Hi everyone, i would like to talk here about one hypothetical phenomenon, what i have thought through many times and done many checks, does it violate something or not. In principle when it is examined how it fits together with the theories of relativity there is nothing badly wrong with it - it does not change Lorentz covariance and it does not change the form of the Ei…
