Hypothesis of the Natural Beyond

A speculative hypothesis proposing that what is often termed “the beyond”—the afterlife, other dimensions, spiritual realms—is not supernatural but part of the natural world, albeit a part that our current science hasn’t yet fully accessed. It argues that the beyond is continuous with nature, not outside it; its apparent otherness stems from our limited instruments, not from a fundamental split. This hypothesis opens the possibility of studying the beyond through natural methods, reframing parapsychology, near‑death experiences, and related fields as branches of natural science.

Example: “She rejected the supernatural/supernatural dichotomy; the Hypothesis of the Natural Beyond suggested that consciousness after death might be as natural as consciousness in life—just a part of nature we haven’t mapped.”

Hypothesis of Conserved FTL

A theoretical hypothesis proposing that faster‑than‑light (FTL) information transfer does not automatically result in time travel or causality violations, because causality is conserved across all observers through unknown mechanisms. Unlike classical interpretations where FTL implies backward time travel (the tachyonic antitelephone), this hypothesis suggests that any FTL communication would be accompanied by compensatory effects that preserve causal order—perhaps through higher‑dimensional constraints, observer‑dependent timelines, or hidden variables that align events consistently. In other words, FTL and causality are not mutually exclusive; they can coexist if the universe has built‑in “conservation laws” for causal structure. The hypothesis opens the door to speculative technologies (warp drives, instantaneous communication) without paradoxes, by positing that nature has its own way of keeping the timeline intact—mechanisms we don’t yet understand but could theoretically exploit.

Hypothesis of Conserved FTL Example: “The paradox of sending a message to your own past disappears under the hypothesis of conserved FTL: causality is preserved because any FTL signal would be ‘compensated’ by the universe—it would arrive in such a way that no paradox could form, perhaps by always appearing to travel at light speed in any causal frame.”

TDAH (the drug associative hypothesis)

TDAH (shortened form of the words "the drug associative hypothesis" - Basically the knowledge and awareness that certain types of media can influence what substances we take- hence example...

Mother 1: Hey, chris is listening to Pink Floyd, so be prepared- he might take LSD sometime in the future...

Mother 2: Hey, Sarah is dancing to rave music, so be prepared- she might take Ecstasy sometime in the future...

Father 1: Hey, Danny is watching The Simpsons, so be prepared- he might take alcohol sometime in the future... oh wait, thats not bad :)

TDAH (the drug associative hypothesis)

Note- This is not necessarily accurate, however the term relates to the lifestyles and media influences associated with the drug in question, and is an easy way of identifying what drug might be craved and taken under the influence of what lifestyle the given person has chosen :P

hollow earth hypothesis

A hypothesis proposed by some that states the earth is hollow and may have people or tiny suns inside of it. Jules Verne used this idea in a story of his, The Journey to the Center of the Earth (sorry I can't italicize on this phone).
Others believe were on the inside of the earth and outer space is inner space. However its proved that space is expanding so that's debunked.

Jon believes the earth is hollow on the inside, so he is an adhereant to the hollow earth hypothesis.
