I'm working on the setting for a fictional story I'm writing and I wanted to inquire as to how possible massive-Universe-sized planets are radius: 5.0x10^30M, without me having to re-make the laws ...
From a science-fiction development perspective I am looking for some plausible answer for the following: What conditions (the more permanent, the better) would make for a bronze sky? All the bett...
Basically, this is a setting in which artificial gravity generation is possible and can be confined to certain areas with different settings. There are maybe five human colonies on planets with nea...
Question: Would it be plausible for the human body to continuously experience regular changes in gravity? Like if someone were to exercise every morning at higher than normal gravity, above Earth n...
The Idea: A planetary system composed of many interconnected nodes and small bodies in a semi-stable arrangement, with much shorter distances between astronomical bodies than our own Solar System. ...
Purely hypothetical and kind of creative quesiton. My idea is an alien humanoid-like civilization (and basically everything alive on that planet) which uses methanol/ethanol or other alcohol as a s...
Background A common staple in science fiction is the idea that we can augment humans by replacing limbs with mechanical substitutions that enable superhuman feats - weightlifter like strength in a...
I have this player with some portal based technology that wanted to build a moving base. His technology works like this: You need 2 portals connecting two spaces, both go in both ways, and conserv...
I am designing a video game in which Alcubierre Drives will be obtainable by the player. I would like this game to be somewhat scientifically accurate in this way. Specifically, I am interested i...
So I have a fictional world where I have three moons orbiting this planet. I've used this web site to try and figure this out but I wanted to ask this question myself. My planet (a little bigger t...
This is somewhat vaguely related to a old question of mine involving a alien species who spend three thousand years developing a post singularity spaceship armada in the mantle of a lava planet (In...
I have a group of settlers that live on top of an animal, and I want his skin to be their mode of communication. In the morning, information is transmitted through chromataphores in the skin changi...
I have two interstellar civilizations, both of which are extremely advanced and within a few thousand light years of earth. They go to war and make some stars explode in the process. The Combatan...
In the novel Ender's Game, all little kids are protected and closely watched via a 'monitor', a device that sees and hears through them. This happens from around age 1 to about 5 or 6. So my questi...
I'm doing some planning for a fantasy comic and I was just wondering how the rest of the world would look if sea levels rose enough to completely submerge the U.K. Specifically I'm interested in ma...
In an alternate universe there is a force known as the emotion force although the force has nothing to do with emotions. Anything that interacts through the emotion force has an emotion charge tha...
I have an organization that I want to have some kind of HQ without being in a country. I was reminded of Sealand (Thanks Joel), those platforms off the coast of the UK. I want something similar, ...
The US Government, and eventually the UN and all nation-states around the world, have realized they are broadcasting their existence to potential enemy civilizations in the nearby galaxy (at least ...
While smashing heavier and heavier particles together to create super heavy elements 122, 123, and 124, scientists noticed that these collisions created strange, random-looking electromagnetic wave...
So assume your setting has the Alcubierre drive - it requires mastery over negative energy to some extent (at least, some form of exotic matter you can excite to generate that energy). Is negative...
Please note for this, assume technology is being used for their creation, not any kind of space major or anything. Edit: Removed the ability to do so within systems without having generators on b...
Magneto is way over-powered, even for a mutant. With the given relation between electricity and magnetism, what could be possible? here is already study work on biomagnetism, we know the nervous s...
The city - a modern, sterile 'utopia' (with the undercurrents of government control and suppression, of course), that can be current tech, or future tech so long as the day-to-day lives are in curr...
Researching efficient methods of no-FTL methods often turns up engine solutions that are efficient in the sense that they have a higher specific impulse, but most such solutions seem to have a comp...
One of the biggest 'immortality sucks' issues has always been the question of what to do with the new people being born. Without death, a world's limited resources can't keep up with a never endin...
Imagine a sci-fi world where many organic civilizations would have raised and have an empire between many planets and systems. Even if there is some political tensions, they all live in peace toget...
