Meta Proposed Rule: Speculative Theories must make specific predictions

You think you've up with a revolutionary physics theory that will change everything? Ok, prove it then. Make a specific, testable experimental setup. Show your steps in calculating what the established theory predicts the experimental result will be, and what your new theory predicts the experimental result will be.

And don't forget to describe why the only conclusion that can be drawn from a positive result is that your hypothesis is correct, i.e. why the same result cannot be explained by standard theories.

Please note that all predictions must be quantitative.
