theories

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'such speculations' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'there is nothing amiss' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'amiss' indicates anagramming the letters.
'there'+'is'+'o'='thereiso'
'thereiso' with letters rearranged gives 'THEORIES'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for theories that I've seen before include "General principles or possibilities" , "Assumptions" , "Conjectures" , "premises?" , "Abstract principles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
