Like the comments already state several times, your whole idea is a long-shot. But given that, perhaps your planet can have some set of conditions that provide the Mother of All El Niño - La Niña ...
So is this real-life jing (also), part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and related disciplines, with maybe some supernatural/fantasy twists? Or some made-up thing that is similar and has the same ...
What kind of biological characteristic does a human being need to achieve great speeds? Let's look at a human athlete for comparison. (If you ignore that it's cyclists in this case.) The best tra...
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Unlimited food!! Unlimited energy!! Woo hoo!!! (What do you mean it's not really unlimited? Shush, you're harshing my feel, or whatever the kids say ...
Is it possible to hide a base in the Kuiper Belt? I believe so yes, but with certain provisos: Since it is known that: Scientists estimate that thousands of bodies more than 100 km (62 mile...
Presumably the insects swarm, gorge, breed, then either die or hibernate. Then come out in force 20 years later after the eggs have hatched and the larvae mature into adults who can fly and who ne...
Could an entire neighborhood or even an entire city be that crowded? Sure. Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City was probably the densest neighbourhood in history, with more than 1,000,000 people per s...
A similar story has been written (a mini epic really over many generations) that has a civilisation living inside space that was doomed to become uninhabitable due to excessive cosmic junk in the v...
The organism first erodes bedrock into verticle shafts, tens of meters deep. Through a series of complex metabolic processes it begins to generate a build-up of waxy deposit at the bottom of the s...
Traditional Chinese Medicine works with chi (often spelled qi) (a real thing that Western Science can't really explain very well) to help the body heal itself. While this usually happens with th...
When an asteroid or comet impacts the Earth, the energy released mainly depends on the mass and velocity of the impactor. Using your figure of 100m diameter, an angle of 90 degrees (ie. coming st...
There are a variety of preservation techniques with different results. Obviously you want to avoid ones where the body is not free to move around. Extensive wrapping, immersion, etc won't work unl...
BACKGROUND (setting the context for my answer): I actually used to be a researcher in a university lab that created the software for voice synthesizers back in the 1980's. At that time, all the s...
No. Not in the way you are suggesting, and not to the frequencies and power that you are dreaming of. However... you could go around your problem and have a symbiotic relationship with some light...
Marine mammals can stay underwater for 10 mins to 2 hours tops. This is fantastic compared to humans, but not enough to justify an underwater city. Underwater storage units maybe. Your species i...
If the body of reference is a human body, then you may want to use the spine and the arms as antennas. The vertebras will be coated in metal, as the answers to the linked questions suggested, as we...
The aliens are machines. They reached a very singular singularity (pun unintended), in which they were able to precompute all that there was to precompute until the end of the universe. This is a ...
How Long? I concur with the other two answers in that everything could be potentialy functional if sufficientley shielded from hard radiation and strikes by macroscopic particles. However we need...
Yes, but for a different reason. This is basically what happened with the Cassini probe, which was sent to crash into Saturn in 2017. However, the reason the probe was successfully disposed of was...
Asteroid material that can cause signal distortion. Antimatter clusters at the Heliopause Physicists have long puzzled why there is so little apparent antimatter in the universe - surely equa...
Farming and direct choice It is a lot easier to farm plants than it is to farm animals, and easier to store them as well. You don't have to feed the dried apples you have in your storehouse over t...
Dragons, Like Birds, Navigate via Magnetic Markers Part of the sea near the far continent has something that causes the magnetic pull of the earth to behave erratically. Or add in some sort of el...
The radiation actually poses no direct ill effect to humans But the radiation triggers a virus that normally lies dormant. This virus is similar to viruses we have on earth, like Rubella or Chick...
Speaking as a scientist, it would not preserve my sanity to believe the world and all the people in it were a simulation for only me. It would quite likely make ME a simulation too! (Particularly i...
This sort of scenario is quite possible, and would likely be the result of the merger of two supermassive black holes during the collision of the galaxies. We have evidence of this in the quasar 3C...
