Some scientists discover that plants have humanlike feelings. Now it becomes unethical and immoral to have mass production farms for plants as it is yet for animals. As there are animal-right activ...
In my world I find it simplest to have iron-based blood. The problem is that iron-based blood is red, and I want it to be black. Two things come to mind; one is making the blood denser, resulting i...
The question is fairly straightforward but to put a bit of context: (Slice of life): I've often noticed how even though my eyesight really isn't great* I still somehow manage seeing a lot better...
I have developed a 2D space trading game, yet in the final stage of the development of the game engine, I am struggling to find the optimal size of my planetary system(s) and the maximum velocity o...
Is it possible for an organism to evolve to biologically generate its own nuclear power? If so, how would this evolution occur?
Background Several hundred years from now, humans have successfully terraformed the Moon. It has become a fad for the rich and powerful to have exotic residences built in exotic locations. The ri...
In the near future, an alien race finds Earth, learns how it and everything on it works, and begins to tamper with it. Somehow they figure out a way to flip the pull of Earth's gravity on only huma...
The Phoenix appears in Greek mythology and are most commonly seen as beautiful golden birds that burst into flame and are reborn from the ashes. Is there a realistic way that they could evolve? Usi...
A rocky planet, similar to Earth in mass and composition, is set to pass through the solar system in one year's time. It has frozen oceans of water ice and a thin atmosphere of unknown composition....
Set in the 22nd century CE, space explorations reached maturity and the farthest human colony is on one of the moon of Neptune. So far the only voice from space that we have heard comes is our own,...
In the distant future, the human race has become extinct, leaving behind the machines they created. These robots are very similar to us and are run by separate AI. They share our emotions and langu...
Researchers create a sonic tractor beam By Hanae Armitage 27 October 2015 1:00 pm Using a simple set of loudspeakers, scientists have figured out a way to levitate and rotate object...
Is there a plausible reason that the world might not be able to get any sort of metal from Earth, short of what we already have? I was thinking it could begin in our sort of "modern" day and age, b...
Setting Humans have spent centuries investigating human consciousness, brain physiology, AI, and other technologies. We've finally figured out how to "upload" a "consciousness" (these are quoted b...
To err is human. That's what probably led us to the verge of extinction in the near future unless we can develop an intelligent algorithm that can make the most logically and accurate prediction ...
In the future, humans decide to conduct a long term experiment in which they make robots that move and think exactly like humans. They also need to eat, drink and breathe the same as humans. These ...
One of the older stories I found buried in my documents is about, and from the point of view of, the AI that starts the Singularity. It (well, he calls himself a "he" eventually, but I'm not even s...
Suppose we have a binary star system and a planet at the L4 or L5 point of the orbit of one of the stars around the other. The planet is thus illuminated by the two stars from the same distance and...
Can non-intelligent life forms evolve to leave their home planet and travel in interplanetary space, for instance, grow on atmosphereless icy moons and transfere spores over interplanetary space?
I want to have a strict and complicated caste system in my future space society (on a planet or a large space station). What would be the reasons and how would the system develop? Possible reasons...
I have a sapient (alien) species that behaves more or less similarly to humans, and that includes their romantic interactions. However, although they court/date each other much like we do, there is...
Suppose in one part of the universe unexplored by science, I imagine there exist a species that rely on quantum teleportation to transmit information about their genetic codes across to the other s...
What would happen if a planet like Earth were to be tidal locked to the sun? What effects could it have on lifeforms like plants? Would they always produce oxygen?
Disclaimer: I'm not a biologist or geneticist, so my knowledge on the following topics is limited. Feel free to point out any mistakes, but please be polite about it. I'm currently planning a st...
Most current planets, and any inhabitants living on them, are ultimately the product of long-dead supernovas that exploded and sent matter across the universe, where it eventually got caught with o...
