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.

  1. Hi, I have made what is called a "psi wheel" and am able to make it spin using my mind, and without any physical contact. I have done this many times and am 100% sure that this is telekinesis. I am not lying. I am wondering what kind of impacts this has on science. For example what are the mediums being used in telekinesis ? I also experience telepathy, since years ago, and believe it "warps" around the universe, as in two individuals can be on different sides of the universe and contact each other with telepathy instantly. I think telekinesis and telepathy can introduce new concepts into science and help it evolve.

    Hi guys. What are your thoughts on the recently released YouTube video that is causing a stir around the world? Have we finally got a shot at creating zero gravity. If this works, it should also be able to produce increased gravity at the sides of the structure, and those inductor plates should be able to be used as spacecraft floors to generate 1g gravity for our long-flight expeditions into space. I can't wait to see if someone sponsors this guy and builds his prototype. I will be sat at the T.V the day they throw the switch. search 'zero gravity facility' . .the guy is Nick Korda.

    THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM IN RELATIVITY The basic essence of relativity is that no object can travel faster than the speed of light. Let us suppose that there is a bat with which you can hit any object and make it go at the speed of light. Simple and straight. Next thing to thing about is what would be the repercussions if an object already moving at the speed of light is hit by this bat? I) Now that object cannot move faster than the speed of light so if we try to calculate the transfer of momentum from the bat to the body (product of the mass and velocity of an object), the speed of that object cant increase so the only possible explanation would be that …

    Hello, I was just thinking and imagining what it would be like to live in an orbital settlement (note: this settlement is in orbit around a celestial object and not on a celestial object). Here's how far I've gotten: 1. We pick the celestial object to be 19 Fortuna, an asteroid that is sufficiently small and very rich in organic compounds. It also has tholin (which can be used for construction). 2. The location of 19 Fortuna is right in the middle of Mars and the Asteroid Belt, which gives us sufficient access to minerals as well as support and trading with the Mars colonists (who we're assuming have been successful). 3. Our agriculture is on Fortuna b…

  5. The energy density is thought to remain constant as the Universe expands. I don't know why, but I'll share a speculation of mine, never before shared. It is (italics) as follows: This speculation is partly based on things in my post above (#32). Assuming real particles are created by vacuum energy, and those particles are protons and electrons that combine to make hydrogen. Furthermore, assume enough are created to offset the matter density decrease caused by the Universe expanding. Then, the Universe would be forever expanding, yet appear more or less as it does today, with stars and galaxies forever being created by newly created matter. The mass outside the Univers…

    The universe is part of the Everything. Which I call from hebrew the Clal. The Clal includes everything, including everything outside our universe, and is very ambiguous and hard to percept. Our universe is a certain formation from within the Clal, and this is a triangle, that in each of it's corners is an element, and in it's center is the Middle. The top element is the "Godly" or from hebrew the Elohi, and it's "color" is black ~ deep purple, The right element is the minus (-) and it's color is orange, the left element is the plus (+) and it's color is bright blue. The Middle's color is luminescent white. Everything in the universe can be described by a triangle,…

  8. Could they eventually be used for communications if the source of gravity's functionality is tied to the orbits of virtual particles, and generate waves by distorting these orbits directly? Didn't Shawyer have some claims last year of creating thrust, with microwaves? From the claims he made, if seems he was generating something similar to an artificial gravity within a region of the test cavity.

    A photon travels a Planck length (lP) in a Planck time (tP). If the wavelength of the photon is lP/2, then two wave fronts would pass across lP in one tP. That seems like moving information (2 wave fronts) faster than the speed of light. Perhaps one must make a distinction between carrier and modulated waves; although, how one might modulate a single photon is beyond me; meaning the two wave fronts are only one bit of information. I haven't seen this idea discussed; thus, this my thought must be bogus. Why?

  11. I know there are already some fringe theories out there that try to tie the enormous computational powers of our brain to quantum mechanics, but is it possible that our consciousness actually exists at least partly in a higher dimension? It can be argued that we are interdimensional beings since we can physically enter the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimensions. Although it is impossible to physically represent a 4th dimensional object, our brains are still able to imagine or see a 4D object purely in thought, which seems to me should be impossible if our brains existed only in just 3 dimensions. We are fairly certain that our consciousness originates from inside our brains, but l…

    I have a bit of a puzzle for mathematicians regarding a hypothetical universe. I am basically going to define a simple solar system with a sun and one planet. This planet, exactly like ours does, circles the sun and spins on its axis. Now in our puzzle the inhabitants of the single planet have discovered that a 'force', much like gravity, keeps their planet in orbit around the sun. Now its basically very simple (although it has crossed my mind it could be complex than I first imagined) and I am hoping that mathematicians/physists could express it mathematically quite easily, a.k.a. produce a rudimentary model. However, what I am really wondering is, is there something wit…

    It's been speculated that hydrogen.. at the right pressure is a metal (been theorized since the creation of the current periodic table which is why its the only gas in the metal section, and also thought to be in Jupiter's core).. Wouldnt such a material be easier to fuse than say.. regular hydrogen gas? obviously its a solid its coulomb limit is much different, its proton's spacing being much closer than in a normal gas form. Does make interesting questions in regards to its superconductivity.. would it even reach that state? or would it be similar to pure uranium and just.. "not"

    Time dilation is usually explained in a simple way using a "light clock" (1, 2). Here I started a discussion about gravitational time dilation, offering a simple explanation I found on internet, but in that place is off-topic and, anyway, I want to extend this discussion, including time dilation in SR. This one was explained in a simple fashion (see here) and rewarded, although the explanation is not only naive but also incomplete. So, I want to discuss this further. First, I want to "hear" how the light clock explanation for gravitational time dilation (see link above) works for up and down movement of the light. Second, I want to "hear" how the longer time needed for …

  15. Until the current moment, mankind is not realized that there is a diverse population of intelligent civilizations living in our universe. In the current article we will deduce the occurrence/existence of extraterrestrial life by mathematical proof. I would show you that even inside our galaxy, the Milky Way, a sufficient number of alien creatures are living. The first section includes an algebraic probabilistic proof when the event of life is not highly biased and the second section includes a proof by contradiction that describes the event fundamentally. Now let's complete it and make it publishable for a leading journal by your advisement. Download the article here: htt…

    I imagined few more tests for relativity. Please tell me if they were already performed and with what outcome. The first one is about 2 atomic clocks, one at the South pole (to be at rest in Earth's center frame) and the other in Space, around the Sun, on Earth's orbit (same distance, same speed) but far from Earth. So, both clocks are travelling with huge, same speed around the Sun, but the one on Earth "tick" slower due to gravitational time dilation caused by the Earth. This is the only difference, or the clock on Earth benefits from linear frame dragging and is not afected by the Earth movement around the Sun? Did anyone perform this, or at least apply relativit…

Still, i had this idea, that just blew my mind be course it sounds so plausible to me…: Dark Energy is just a made up name, for what ever makes the universe expand at an accelerating rate, so one conclusion is, that it has to produce energy in some way (also to create the Higgs-field in the new expanded space). Here’s another way to look at this: So, what if Dark Energy is in fact a phenomenon, that could also be described as an opposite Black Hole, a “Black Spring”. Black Holes are created by mashing stuff into each other u…

  18. The alleged burning of the human body without any external source of ignition is called the Spontaneous Human Combustion or otherwise simply called as SHC. In other words Spontaneous Human combustion is simply means that complete incineration of the human body. There are so many speculations and controversies over SHC. Let us see few of them. Let us view the Spontaneous Human Combustion in spiritual terms. Spontaneous Human Combustion trigger when all the seven chakras are open resulting in kundalini activation. As enormous amount of energy is liberated in the process of kundalini activation the human body burnt thoroughly. In other words; our body is protected by t…

    Its been theorized for a couple of hundred years or so, but according to my theory.. its the balanced corotation of a positron and and electron.. what makes me come to that conclusion? Where does the electrons om the sun go? Straight up creating its magnetic field. Making an electron imbalance with it and the normal "ether". Positrons, electrons and neutrino all have similar mass making them all different electrical charges of the same particle.

    I believe due to the nature of the universe that life in and of itself is actually quite "common place." I believe its on all the planets and even the sun, but exists in such a way its either too primative or too advanced for us to know thats what it is. My evidence is speculative at best i know, but for one thing Extremophiles (the fact that closer to earth based life can handle such extremes), any compound whether its a molecule or a compex super organism will survive til it can't. Evidence two, storm systems by a vague definition are living things. They reproduce, grow, consume, require gases, use electrical energy or produce it, etc.. storm on jupiter? Thousand year o…

  23. The recent news of gravitational waves is quite a big turn of events. I'm curious about the implications on the randomness of quantum information in space time. As larger objects that operate under relativity seem to follow the calculations exactly. I am wondering if quanta operate differently as they are effected by a greater than 0 constant in background gravity. Much how the surface of a body of water produces waves if there are items moving around on its surface. One could imagine that a spec of dust on the surface of this body of water would be much harder to measure, and its positional change over time relative to an observer would appear much more "random" for …

  24. The article in the 3rd link ends in this quote I don't know if you have ever tried to prove it yourself but I am skeptical of anyone saying gravity acts at the speed of light. I haven't got all the figures at my fingertips but with that binary pulsar 1913+16 it seemed impossible to understand how they could orbit each other if their gravitational field was established at the speed of light. I spent a lot of time on this and I am none the wiser but it defies the imagination if you say it is propagated at the speed of light. I had presented my workings on another forum but I never got a satisfactory answer from anyone except to be told it needed to be worked out by r…

  25. Hello there I'm a creative writer working on a worldbuilding project where I'm trying to create a typical fantasy universe, but based more on realism and "theoretical plausibility" in lack of a better term. Fictional lifeforms are designed with evolution in mind, laws of physics are consistent and so on. To an extent where it's looking more like medieval science fiction. With my limited knowledge in a lot of scientific fields, this naturally creates a few obstacles. Despite that, I'll be damned if I don't at least try. Something I've been playing around with, and what I'd love to hear some input and feedback to, is the idea of creating a type of energy or the …
