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.

    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

  4. 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. …

    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.

    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?

    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…

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…

When science fiction was new most aliens were hideous monsters come to kidnap our daughters for mating experiments or creatures just like us that came to kidnap our daughters for mating experiments... But there are schools of thought that suggest that intelligent aliens might really be humanoid although that really doesn't pin down their looks we can say humanoid but humanoid covers a lot of ground and chances are there resemblance to use would be not much better than one head on top of it's body, two arms and two legs and torso. Not likely to be able to walk unnoticed at the beach for sure. This idea of alien intelligence being more or less human shaped in based…

  19. The measurable physical property (frequency) has to be frame independent (invariant). I agree that "Velocity is a condition of the frame". That means that DeBroglie's formula is not correct. I propose to replace v in DeBroglies formula by some invariant difference between 4-d speed of an electron (q(0), q(1)) and 4-d speed of the target (p(0), p(1)). The difference s(0)=q(0)-p(0), s(1)=q(1)-p(1) . This vector s(k) has norm s and this s has to go instead of v in DeBroglies formula. In the frame where target is stationary we have p(0)=1, p(1)=0, q(0)=1/g , q(1)=v/g, where g=sqrt[1-(v/c)^2]. The calculation of s gives s=sqrt[2(1//g-1)] which is …

    I know many species are able to store metabolic byproducts, poisons from food, etc in glands and secrete them at will. Could a human possibly evolve to store and secrete acetone from cellular processes in a similar manner? Particularly glands in the palms and soles? If so, how exactly could this work? How long would it take for such an ability to evolve? By the way, this is just another weird question for my weird book, any help appreciated.

    A while back I was trying to use the "elements/periodic table" to measure time, but it got closed , http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/82760-the-electron-years-what-element-are-you/ To cut to the chase, to go through a complete table was 3100 years, so I had cycles of 3100yrs within cycles, but to go through the next cycle took 5 million years(ever expanding cycles). I then wanted to see how many of these 3100yr cycles fitted within the 5,000,000yr cycle, This gave me 1612.9032, which I googled, These two caught my attention: This first one is an Acceleration Conversion Table, but am not quite sure what it is saying about this figure 1612.9032? http://ww…

    I wasn't sure whether this should be in mathematics or physics, but as I'm speculating, it's probably better here. Is there any mathematical association between various crack-based patterns in nature, for example with earthquake fault lines, broken glass, etc? I was curious if the distribution of galaxies throughout the observable Universe follow a similar pattern? I'm sure there must be more accurate terminology to describe it other than "fractal", which seems too broad.

    I made a thread on another forum, here, and am mostly getting responses from people who want to argue for the sake of arguing. I think it really is a topic for philosophy but I want to see what the people of science have to say. I am trying to understand the mechanics of the universe through the use of a hypothetical medium, mostly working off of this. I do not mean for this to be a debate about who said what, whether a medium actually exists, and the like. Please stay on topic. This thread should only by about the possible properties of said medium and how those produce the phenomena we observe in nature. The properties so far are: the medium should be continuous…
