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. if time is measureable it must have a base unit which would make planck happy. at this scale, everything moves at the speed of light. massive particles can store energy and then release it. this creates a non continuous effect or "real time". it splits interactions up thus creating the effect of sub luminal velocity. the constant is a constant and will remain a constant constantly...

  2. Have certain scientists in the past and present been artificially and unduly elevated to a celebrity position where they were/are revered by their peers, followers, and thus, laymen with no expertise in their fields, so that the statements of such people (no matter what they claim) could not be disputed? People must learn to question what they are told: - “Do I really know what I’m being told is true, or am I just assuming that it is true?” - “Have I looked into the subject matter deeply enough or am I mindlessly accepting it?” - “Who or what are the authority figures in my life that are influencing my thoughts and behaviors – governments, parents, friends, experts, relig…

  3. This is my first time starting a topic on the speculations forum. Those that know me know I have a good understanding of cosmology as well as particle physics. One idea I have been kicking around every once in a while is a different sequence in the mathematics involved in particle physics and as a result cosmology. Normally we like to look at thermodynamics at absolute zero to an upper range. Same applies to velocity. However what if we instead look at setting the speed of light c and the Planck temperature at the maximum. Then look at how particles decay out of equilibrium from those two values? At the Planck temperature all particles present (funda…

    [(Abstract preciously posted.)] Introductions Before the beginning there was no "stuff", only space and time. So, space says to time: "How long have you been here?" and time says: "How long have I been where?" Time had to be first. It is simplest, having no traits, and something had to make existence logically possible by existing. Time also makes "difference" and "measurement" possible, but with everything the same and there being nothing to measure anyway. Space has many traits, and could even make both "quantum" and "difference" possible physically, not just logically. It likewise would need nothing for existence, not even time. All else would need both space an…

    Hi everybody! I was looking for a french scientific forum which would accept a speculative theory on mass and could not find any, so I decided to look for an english one, and there you were. Unfortunately, as my title points out, I have no maths to present, but still I hope that my point of view will interest some of you. Mass has always been considered by the scientific community as an intrinsic property of matter, except for Mach who considered that it was due to the interaction between bodies of the entire universe. What I figured out has ended close to Mach's ideas, but the kind of interaction that I propose explains the two properties of mass, motion and resi…

    Abstract For decades, two aspects of nature have been overlooked and poorly / not understood. The one is an Anisotropic Dark Flow Acceleration (DFA). The other is Relativistic Resistance against Motion (RRM). The consequences for our picture of the Universe are tremendous. (This is a beta version).. PART 1 Anisotropic Dark Flow Acceleration. In order for even a rather significant Anisotropic Acceleration to be measurable on Earth (e.g. with a gravimeter), it requires rather specific conditions to be present. Regardless of the inclination of the solar system in proportion to a (theoretical) anisotropic acceleration direction (which in the following will be …

  8. A Planks formula, a moderators formula and a lay-man -- confused. In a thread about “quanta of time” the moderator exposed a formula about intensity of power of photon depending by frequency and temperature: I ( v,T) = (2*h*v^3) / (C^2 * (e^((h*v) / (k*T)) –1)) In the Plank formula we have another version for the same issue: I (λ,T) = (2*π*h*C^2) / (λ^5 * (e^((h*C) / (λ*k*T)) –1)) I am confused because it seems to me that they differ in amount and in concept. Any explanation please where I am wrong, especially in link between (λ, ν, C)

    Could there be two different constants? Energial and Physical(E=mc2)? Well if there could be an energial constant it could look something like this: E(NC)=V∞/0 (Infinity over zero to denote that neutrally charged energy's speed depends on the universe's expansion rate. Or does it?) Answer this question below.

  10. Momentum of electromagnetic radiation is the correct question. How can radiation from the space probe towards empty space possible have a decelerating impact on the pioneer space probes. Are there any scientific evidence for such statement ? It sounds acceptable that the opposite, - which mean photon bombarding / hidding the space probe - could have an effect, and either accelerate of decelerate the space probe. But photons leaving the space probe? - no, - unless there are hard evidence, - such is really difficult to believe.

  11. Hello, I would like to apologize to everyone who read the "McCaustland Theory" it was poorly explained, and very unorganized. This is my second attempt to explain my own personal hypothesis on the universe. First of all I do believe that black holes are actually how the universe first began, this is due to the phenomena known as hawking radiation. This explains why singularities less than a nanometer across dissipate (Correct on measurement if necessary). Now this I believe is due to another still highly hypothetical phenomena I like to call ultra-high velocity ejection. In the hypothesis of ultra-high velocity ejection I believe that when matter reaches the singularity i…

  13. I started at the ?Wall? of Action spreading from what was the center of what you call the Big Bang. I have never wanted to see a bang in wanted to see more. I saw things that would make so I could not be right. They are all as important as anything I recognized must be true. What moves the Universe as we know it can't be made of anything we know. At least on the scale it would have to be happen at. What I see must be doing something beyond that scale. If you have opinion about my choice please just listen. There has to ?Wave Form? other then Space at the Center that filling in and pushing out. ?Parts? says any ?Action? still show ?Parts? the ?Actions? which can already be…

    Using a consistent online username, or even better, using your own real-life name across all platforms may play a part in improving your health. That is why I have decided to change my previous username from Mrs Zeta to my real name, Marios Kyriazis. Below is a posting I wrote some months ago about this issue, and I can provide full peer-review references if anyone wants to discuss this: Online anonymity, privacy and longevity (Or: Relinquish your privacy if you want to live longer) At first, it may appear strange to suggest that living longer has something to do with using pseudonyms online.

  15. Unfortunately, the model with plastically deformed contact points is too inaccurate to hold. It predicts a friction coefficient equal to the ratio of the shear flow stress to the compression flow stress, which is often near 0.6, and that's wrong even for most metals, whose friction coefficient is often between 0.12 and 0.4. These two numbers don't even vary in a correlated way. I know it's one historical model that is taught in books and courses, but there is no reason to believe it, use it, no teach it.

    Every equation of the relativity is just the way to understand through to solve one question of math. 1+1=2 step by step. And we just add the feeling into the equation as the hypothesis. I hope to make a big new theory without the relativity. The number is just enough now. Maybe another thing would happen as we understand the way through the math in logical way. The experience is just in the way of the math problem, again too.

    Rotation of earth, considered here, is with respect to its axis. Magnitude and type of earth's resultant motion, with respect to an external reference, depends on other simultaneous motions also. Earth also moves in linear direction along with sun (around galactic centre). Therefore, earth's absolute spin motion is relatively very small. Part of 'central force' due to gravity between earth and sun causes steady acceleration of earth's spin motion. For details, kindly see http://vixra.org/abs/1008.0029 Nainan

But what have to do, I -- the poor layman, for not falling in “sin of hijacking”? Nevertheless I’ll take the risk. The tables of disintegration (reaction?) of proton -- antiproton, show us that another row of mater antimatter comes from this disintegration, plus in some other kind (bosons?). But in “the end”, those byproduct of disintegration of mater antimatter, doesn’t they combined in…. (bosons?). And prompt: some high thermal energy emerged that further cooled in …. Microwaves.

    Hi,I am new here and a little intimidated. There are people here who know alot more about this subject than myself, but that's why I came here! So please read my ideas carefully and please don't laugh at me if you disagree, they are just ideas for now and I hope at least one of them could be tested somehow. Right, here goes... As I understand it (correct me if I am wrong) when a wave is observed by us, it becomes a particle, but in so doing 'splits' the universe into many places or rather parallel universes, where each and every outcome occurred simultaneously, though for whatever reason, our mind is also split and observes only the one we are in. But m…

    Hi Where is the antimatter ? During the Bigbang the energy 'condensed' into matter and antimatter. If we accept the Feynman–Stueckelberg interpretation of antimatter, that antimatter are particle going back in time, then there was nothing before the 'condensation' so the antimatter never encontered matter. Anti matter that was created in that time are going back in time and will never meet matter. Is it something that was thaught before ? Thanks

  23. I often come across discussion about how and why the universe is expanding, and what causes the expansion to constantly accelerate. The view currently accepted by science is that dark matter and dark energy are causing this. Since I don't have proof or solid indication of another model, I of course can't speak against that. Still, I'm considering a different explanation, which feels at least plausible in my opinion. I was wondering if there are any similar views, and if anyone else looked at this possibility to a deeper extent. This is my idea: As time goes on, atoms (and ultimately objects) around the universe experience more outcomes at the quantum scale. At least u…

    I believe that fundamentally the universe is simple and easy to understand. All complexities are massive quantities of interacting basic particles. The only particles necessary for understanding are electrons and positrons. Quarks are just made up by people. So try on the thought of electrons and positrons being spinning magnets. A neutron then is a collection of an equal amount of electrons and positrons so that it creates a neutral net charge. A proton is a collection of electrons and positrons with one more positron than electron. Atomic structure is created because a neutron is diamagnetic when exposed to the magnetic fields of a proton and an electron. For every pr…

  25. Mitch Bass. The way I view energy indicates that you are correct to believe that motion requires the presence of energy. Even so, the magnitude of energy intrinsic with the motion you are referring to depends on whether the motion is of matter or to that of a photon. In either case, if you were to do an analysis of energy that extends to the fundamental level of reality, you would be compelled to invoke the concept motion however slight, and the magnitude of potential force intrinsic with that motion. In that case, a unit of mass consists of energy amassed to a density of C2 .
