Question	—	Digestive system of the "Ultimate Omnivore" I'm designing a creature that is supposed to be able to eat "basically anything", within the realm of plausibility for what is essentially an organic creature. Its digestive system can be as complicated as necessary, and evolutionary history is not an obstacle, the creature could be either alien or e... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	Hydrogen Dragons Let's talk about dragons for a bit. Giant, flying, deadly predators with teeth and claws and fire and scales. Unfortunately, "giant" and "flying" don't play together nicely in physics' playground. Birds, as we know, are lighter than they look thanks to having hollow bones and air pockets throughout ...

Question	—	A drug that allows people to survive on less food In this near-future setting, biotechnology is slightly more advanced than our own. Genetic engineering is cheap as well, but due to an ecological disaster the environment just doesn't have enough calories to go around. What I am looking for is a known chemical, drug, or (if necessary) a SPECIFIC gen... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	Is it plausible to to cover a desert in self-replicating solar panels, using only the materials found in the desert? Silicon is the main material used in both computers and solar panels. Sand is silicon. Deserts have a lot of sand and sun. This may be an oversimplified way of looking at things, but could we create a self-reproducing robot (nano or otherwise) that, placed in a desert, could spread using nothing b...

Question	—	A predator that uses an airborne chemical to make prey not be afraid of it There is a predator that lives in the forest. It is roughly the size of a large bear, and moves quite slowly - a person could outrun it at a light jog. Nor is it agile - although its arms and jaws could easily crush a human once it has a firm hold of them, a person would have little difficulty slip... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Building a planet favorable to the evolution of intelligent life You are a planetary engineer from a lonely species fairly high on the Kardashev scale. Although your species has wandered throughout the galaxy seeking out new life and civilizations for thousands of years, you have discovered that although life can be found on almost any planet with liquid water, i...
