What colour would a flat world's sky be? In continuation of my previous question, I'm wondering about the colour of a flat world's sky. To recap the previous question, I'm imagining a flat world with the sun fixed relatively low above the center, with a number of large "sky island" type shades orbiting it to produce the day-night cycle. He... (more) |

How to mine a star? Things like Dyson spheres need a whole lot of raw material, which is rather difficult to come by, since the elements needed for good structural steel are scattered fairly thinly into the universe upon the death of the stars that produce them. The obvious solution is to somehow get at the approximate... (more) |

So, I'm imagining a world with a sphere of sunlight-level luminosity hanging relatively low above a flat disc, square or plane with a number of large opaque objects orbiting it to creat... (more) |

What level of manufacturing would a "mining world" possess? I'm picturing an universe where FTL travel was invented as a sort-of-fluke, and artificial gravity technology isn't available. Transit between star-systems takes at least a few days and a star's gravity well slows the FTL down to a point that it's STL anywhere around the Goldilocks zone. Also presen... (more) |
