I've looked into the usual structure of typical animal rhinarium (hairless nose skin with nodules), and it looks possible? — Rhinarium skin structure and epidermal innervation in selected mammal...
It looks like you will have uplift, frequent earthquakes, and volcanos in the lower part of your island where three plates are jamming together. In the northern part, the plates are spreading. Yo...
I've sketched out an island, and then threw some tectonic plate boundaries on top hoping it would help me plot mountains. But the more I look at geological diagrams of plate boundaries, and read u...
I've been researching the idea of spreading out vast sheets of aerogel across regions of Mars. This would theoretically have the effect of both warming whatever land is under the sheet - thus melti...
What happens if Earth's magnetic field shuts down? How exactly does this impact humans, and how long before we need to make significant changes for survival? Does it make any difference if Earth'...
I vote on deleting sports questions for the following reasons : We can speculate about it, and anything we get from it will be based off of physics, not on biology, geology or the methodology us...
Let's look at the (rather poorly named) FAQ page in the help center which tries to specify in a bit more detail than the few words of a site name what the site's scope is: Scientific Speculation...
I've refrained from vote for the following reason, science is too broad for ANYTHING to be out of scope, Physics is science, biology is science, rocks are science, food is science, everything is sc...
Do posts like (What would X Sport look like in space?) belong in this community? It has nothing to do with science, some physics at best, and even then, only to a certain degree.
It's no good sharing that opinion here, they started by trying to make this community all about speculation on science, then added World Building and everything got confusing, I don't know whether ...
but you could still ask questions about how FTL could be achieved with what we know of physics That's not scientific at all, according to what we know of physics, it's not possible. End of lin...
I do agree, a pool would be an easy and simple way to determine a new name, that everyone agrees with. Why is there even Science in the name ? It's World Building not Physics xD
Hey everyone, new user here, I've already seen a couple of people complaining that the name isn't accurate, or it doesn't represent what is asked here, is there a pool to vote on whether to change ...
Most likely golf's influence is going to be narrow, and possibly contained in one planet where it is part of their culture. If that one planet where golf is a culture manages to colonize the other...
I don't think Science has anything to do with 90% of the question asked in World Building, simply because most of them ignore key aspect of science. That said, I think the name should be "Speculat...
I suggest alteration of the name from "Scientific Speculation" to a more appropriate "World, Speculation". Why? Most questions they seek to answer are somewhat based on science, but rarely take s...
On topic for the community name only The question could be assumed to be on topic for the name of this community: "Scientific Speculation". It is indeed a speculative question about science that h...
First, moving questions rewards people for asking in the wrong place. That's not something that should be encouraged. Second, that's not a great question because it requires following links to ge...
You are 100% right, if you know of a chemical process where something could inject water into the hardned epoxy, you can indeed revert the process, its not a Chemical reaction, more of a process of...
Nope, it is still unamed(I guess due to the controversy it created, and the inability to prove if it did exist or not), but i think Phaeton would be a good name since its the one used for a couple ...
I'm a little disappointed that How can Single Vision lenses slow myopia for adults too? was deemed off topic. Can anyone explain to me why? It is indeed science speculation, it should be on rigoro...
I'm spitballing a story where the main character goes through a monstrous transformation. Part of the conceit / my enjoyment is that she's an oncology researcher and will be tracking the transform...
No, the scheme described doesn't make sense, regardless if it is digital or analog. Anybody can intercept the public key and decrypt so the scheme doesn't protect against eavesdroppers. The entiti...
It doesn't make much sense to talk about transmitting "keys" when the encryption is analog. Since you want to stay away from digital, the encryption and decryption will need to be done in analog h...
Hello! I am thinking about analogue mobile telephones, but they have some severe flaws- the most significant being privacy. How could an analogue system be encrypted? It doesn't need to be complet...
