Possibly, but I think it's unlikely, except indirectly. Exercise increases natural carnosine levels, so someone who both takes extra creatine and uses the energy to increase their exercise level p...
Looks like it may just be mechanical. According to this article, if true, you can rehydrate white glue with water and heat. https://simpleglue.com/how-to-revive-elmers-glue/
This is already done today The UAE artificial islands use material dredged from the sea bottom to ceate the islands. But is it sustainable? The easy answer is "no." You're not creating islands o...
This is general mechanics: all objects have a center of gravity. On a square-shaped house, this center is right in the middle, at coordinates (width/2, height/2). The wider the building is in relat...
The behavior of strange matter is not well understood - least of all under the conditions we're used to on Earth! Most theoretical treatments focus on places in which strange matter is likely to be...
The roadmap for getting people to accept machine takeover of almost any aspect of our lives is already here to be seen, for example in end-user licences (EULAs) on software people use (update softw...
If the merpeople's babies are relatively helpless or start as weak swimmers, head hair could remain as a useful point for the young to cling to as the adult swims around, keeping its arms free. Thi...
This already happened. I married my wife, who I met on an MMO, and I am far from being the only person this has happened to. Many, many people meet on the Internet and fall for each other online, w...
Update I've updated my CDF to handle eccentric orbits and customization of star brightness, and (more importantly) to show long-term seasonal effects. A few notes: Mousing over any of the par...
There's apparently a type of transmissible cancer that came from new world dogs thousands of years ago, the Canine transmissible venereal tumor. As I understand, this self replicating surviving ca...
It might be that between year 0 to the industrial revolution (say 18th to common era), the Caspian sea significantly larger than it is today. If so, is there some graphical illustration as part of...
I was recently introduced to the South Atlantic Anomaly. As I understand, for satellites and space craft, this is a natural feature that can wreck space craft by taking even computers designed fo...
So, Second Earth had/has a firearm problem. Since my magic is really just advanced science, I can't create firearm-disabling fields, so instead, I created a spell that should be able to ruin firear...
I've created a genetically modified race of humans with an extreme height. I've taken into account the cube square law, and added some bones and muscles to help cope with that. I'm planning on maki...
What will be the view of the sky and the distances between stars, living on a planet or in a habitat in a super galaxy that has merged with all its nearby galaxies in its cluster, at a time in the ...
Low gravity golf was invented by Alan Shepard in 1971 when he hit two golf balls 40 yards on the moon. Surprisingly, this version of the sport with little atmosphere and much lower gravity, is the...
I was investigating a few ideas on recreational solar sailing, and came up with some interesting things - The primary equation in solar sailing is $ F = {{2 R S A} \over {c}} \sin^2{\theta} $ Whe...
I recently learned that it's believed that the solar system once had one more gas giant, which was ejected by Jupiter some time in the past. https://thesolarsystem.fandom.com/wiki/Fifth_Giant Doe...
The Earth-Moon Lagrange points have names: L1, L2, and L3 are Libration Points, the L4 and L5 points are the Kordylewski Clouds. The Jupiter-Sun L4 is named the Greeks, and the Jupiter-Sun L5 is n...
Armies need more than just soldiers that fight. Herbivores can easily be more efficient at these other tasks because they don't carry the extra expense of the fighting apparatus (claws, sharp teet...
I'm a physicist, but an experimental one. This means I don't deal with hypothetical stuff like this very often, and when I do, I feel the need to figure out a real-world example or test for it. Als...
How about "rigorous-science"? There are lots of ways to apply rigorous logic to a question, this draws focus to the science part.
Yeah, that's my fault. I wrote up an answer and posted it, but I deleted it shortly afterwards (and later undeleted it . . . and then redeleted it). I did so because I've been extremely active on S...
Of the suggestions I've seen, I like 'scientific worldbuilding' the best. However, Mithrandir has raised some concerns that this focuses on the worldbuilding aspect, on a site where we're inviting ...
I was the mod who deleted the comment - thanks for bringing this up. The main reason I deleted it was that I figured that the comment was primarily for the benefit of the poster, rather than the co...
