Speculative or Personal Theories:
Physics Forums is
not intended as an alternative to the usual professional venues for discussion and review of new ideas, e.g. personal contacts, conferences, and peer review before publication. If you have a new theory or idea, this is not the place to look for feedback on it or help in developing it.
For further explanation of our policy on personal theories and speculative posts, and the history behind it, see the following entry in the Physics Forums FAQ:

Non-mainstream theories:
Generally, in the forums we do
not allow the following:
- Discussion of theories that appear only on personal web sites, self-published books, etc.
- Challenges to mainstream theories (relativity, the Big Bang, etc.) that go beyond current professional discussion
- Attempts to promote or resuscitate theories that have been discredited or superseded (e.g. Lorentz ether theory); this does not exclude discussion of those theories in a purely historical context
- Personal theories or speculations that go beyond or counter to generally-accepted science
- Mixing science and religion, e.g. using religious doctrines in support of scientific arguments or vice versa.
- Philosophical discussions are permitted only at the discretion of the mentors and may be deleted or closed without warning or appeal
Links to web sites that fall in the categories listed above will be removed.
