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.

Hello, paradox will always exist in the modern physics because it is based on the arithmetic rule - on the energy conservation Law. According to Godel Incompleteness Theorem such Theory contains a paradox if it is complete. (the formulation of Godel theorem - theory that contains rules of arithmetic can not be both consistent and complete). Physics is complete because it can always answer for any sentence A if it is valid or it is negation is valid. (Physics always knows what is the truth). Hence Physics is inconsistent. It means it contains a paradox. There are so many paradoxes in physics, starting from Zeno's paradox. But there was always "good" …

I would like to discuss how gravitational radiation is produced. There is a formula for the amount. But I what to try and uncover the mechanism behind it. Why is it produced and so I have started this thread so even the most speculative ideas can be thrashed out. Is there anyone who has got a clue as to how to begin answering the question? Here is a paper mocking us with a clue: Solve this riddle: "Gravitational Radiation is to gravity what light is to electromagnetism". Do they really mean that as "light" and not photons? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/grav_radiation.html They then say "It is produced when massive bodies accelerat…

From Matt Strassler's "what is a proton anyway" http://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/largehadroncolliderfaq/whats-a-proton-anyway/ First of all I was wondering what effect this "flattening" of accelerated proton, has on the quarks inside proton, Whether this "flattening" changes the composition/energies of the quarks, or are they insulated from the flattening effect of proton? This above quote, I am trying to fully understand, If the quarks and gluons are travelling in every direction, and an observer who is stationary with respect to one of the quarks, sees the proton flattened in the direction that the "Quark" is moving, If we had an "observer …

It's actually an interesting question. Imagine, for example, that the electron has inertial mass, but not gravitational mass. How would you know? All determinations of the gravitational constant G are made using macroscopic lumps of uncharged matter. So every electron is accompanied by several thousand times its mass of nucleons. It's not clear how we could tell if all the "G" we measure is due to the heavy bits. We can measure the inertial mass of electrons (etc) with a mass spectrometer- but that's got nothing to do with the determination of their tendency to "fall" under gravity.

'Black holes banish matter into cosmic voids' "But Haider's team also found that a surprising fraction of normal matter - 20% - is likely to be have been transported into the voids. The culprit appears to be the supermassive black holes found in the centres of galaxies. Some of the matter falling towards the holes is converted into energy. ... This energy is delivered to the surrounding gas, and leads to large outflows of matter, which stretch for hundreds of thousands of light years from the black holes, reaching far beyond the extent of their host galaxies."

http://www.space.com/24073-how-big-is-the-universe.html "Today, that same spot is 46 billion light-years away, making the diameter of the observable universe a sphere around 92 billion light-years." So, the radius of the whole Universe is 46 BLY. Let's divide it to the following segments: 0 – 12 Bly 12 – 24 Bly 24 – 36 Bly 36 – 48 Bly If R = 12 Bly Than 0 – 12 Bly = R 0 – 24 Bly = 2R 0 – 36 Bly = 3R 0 – 48 Bly = 4R Therefore: 0 – 48 Bly = The whole Universe = 4R 0 – 12 Bly = The core of the Universe = R 36 – 48 Bly = Edge of the Universe 0 – 36 Bly = Not at the edge of the Universe. The Volume of the Core of the Universe is ref. to: …

A few years ago i proposed a theory that time travel was possible and everything was connected. Below is the link to the original post it is a lot of mixed ideas that don't really say anything. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/80508-sister-theory-of-everything/page-1 Here is the visual representation of the theory. I also suggested it ways connected to a sequence of numbers in pi. I was also saying numbers were connected to letters more than just there placement. The image of the sister theory I figured out it was the Great Pyramid of Gaza (Khufu). This image was only half of the solution the other piece was an 8 in side of a circle. Both ite…

Hi, I believe the universe is a kind of cellular automata. I am here hoping that skilled mathematicians can help me develop the idea further. To start with, I think the universe is composed entirely of identical cells, I would suggest they are planck scale in size. The cells go through a cycle of composing, then decomposing the themselves (think "calculating space"), all in sync, so much so that the whole entire universe follows the cycle of composition, then decomposition, I would suggest the cycle is planck scale in length. In this universe movement of objects is perceived but not real as each object is composed/decomposed in one place before composing/d…

. Mike Smith Cosmos, on 26 Feb 2016 - 7:20 PM, said:in Science News ( Gravity waves ) . I thought there was possibly some form of Fermion grid that pervaded space , and only responding to fermion style matter ( particles ) , and so propagating ' gravity waves ' ? I am comfortable with Electric Fields , and magnetic fields being set up , one way of another by some form set of components ( coil, plates etc ) into a space . These can be probed , measured , and with a little bit of electronics , an Electro magnetic oscillating field to be set up and a EM wave is produced Which races away at the speed of light . I believe these are derived from ' Bosons ' and pr…

Present view: energy/matter was created from nothing during big bang My view: 1. Big bang is a collision of matters from 4th/5th dimension (or higher), which extending into 3-D to form our 3-D world. 2. Our 3-d world is mostly flat in higher dimensions. However, there are objects that could extend deep in higher dimensions, which should be able to identified since they have unusually higher mass than what we predict by our 3-D measurement (volume/density). They are the source for "dark energy" and "dark matter". This is my original work. Please make comments/suggestions. We could share the Nobel Prize if you could provide detail math models. …

All relationships between biological structures are semiotical which means that arrangement of moleculs forming the bio-structure A is predetermined by bio-structure B. Otherwise functional biological interactions would be impossible. Examples: a) intron-exon gene structure predetermines that specific arrangement of molecules is nedded for editing of the nascent pre-messenger RNA transcript in which introns are removed and exons are joined together. This specific arrangement of molecules is called "rna splicing machinery". b) Structure of egg cell predetermines that specific arrangement of molecules is nedded in order to initiate the development of a new individual …

Well, i think that there cannot be a set of some laws which determine the behavoiur of every particle in the universe. We come across many videos which shows objects which does not follows the laws which we think are final. I may be wrong but still i will like to hear your views on this so I posted it in Speculations.

This is the lid in question: http://mesoweb.com/Palenque/monuments/TI_sarcophagus/099.html The position and configuration of the three-circled items ("triplets") and the two star symbols on the upper part of the lid seems remarkably special (which also contradicts the hypothesis about them serving only decoration purposes). Isn't it possible that they actually form together a system to encode a hidden message? More information on a separate page (as it requires several animations and images to decipher the code): http://akusius.github.io/palenque/overview.html Although I was not able yet to compute the exact probability for this interpretation, but…

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…

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,…

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?
