In summary, exploring new ideas in the scientific community requires adherence to certain guidelines for speculation. These include conducting thorough research, considering alternative explanations, and maintaining an open-minded approach. Additionally, scientists must be willing to take risks and challenge traditional beliefs in order to make significant advancements in their field. However, responsible speculation also involves acknowledging limitations and potential flaws in theories, as well as seeking feedback from peers and continuously refining ideas. By following these guidelines, the scientific community can foster creativity and innovation while maintaining the rigor and integrity of the scientific process.

Hey,

New member with some ideas floating around my head that i'd love some answers to as I don't have the technical knowledge to answer myself!

Will create a new thread and see what responses I get...Looking forward to hearing back from some of you!

Thanks,

Dean
