About & Guidelines

YouHypothesis is a space for scientific micro-publishing — for intuitions, theories not yet proven, and academic brainstorming. The goal is to accelerate the circulation of ideas before they become formal papers.

To ensure global reach and peer-review consistency, all posts must be written in English. As the universal language of science, English allows your theories to be evaluated by the widest possible community.

No registration is required. Your identity is tied to your Unique Device ID (stored locally in your browser). This ensures total anonymity while preventing spam.

Note: clearing your browser cache or switching devices will reset your identity and access to your published theories.

All theories are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. Authors retain intellectual property; YouHypothesis receives a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host and distribute the content.

By publishing, you confirm you are at least 16 years old and accept our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Each theory can be voted with one of three signals:

• Plausible — the hypothesis is coherent and worth exploring further.
• Flawed — the reasoning has gaps but is not dismissed.
• Debunked — the hypothesis contradicts established evidence.

Negative votes reduce a post's visibility in the feed. This keeps the scientific quality of the stream high — well-reasoned ideas surface, weak ones fade.
