In summary, the guidelines for speculation in a mainstream science community are based on rigorous evidence, peer review, and replicable results. Speculation must be based on existing scientific knowledge and must be testable and falsifiable. It should also be clearly labeled as speculation and not presented as fact. Collaboration with other scientists and open-mindedness are encouraged, but claims must be supported by data and evidence. Responsible and ethical communication of speculation is crucial in maintaining the credibility and integrity of the scientific community.

My name is Jeff and I am not a paid scientist but rather an amateur. I enjoy Astronomy and learning about Particle Physics. I am also into Mythology, Theology and other spiritual based studies that are scientific in nature.

Welcome to PF! Make sure you read our guidelines on speculation. We are a mainstream science community. "Mythology, Theology and other spiritual based studies" are certainly not scientific in nature.
