Question	—	What is the strongest glass that can be formed from nature? tl;dr What is the strongest glass that can be concocted from a single reasonably abundant, natural source? (Without nuclear or quantum manufacturing) So I am developing a character for a story. He has powers that are very similar to alchemy in Full Metal Alchemist and in FMA they have the Law of Equ...

Question	—	Is electricity the answer to mind control? (Sister question to this question) BACKGROUND: I really like the Anime A Certain Scientific Railgun (it is superior to Index, deal with it). In it a certain character ("Railgun") has the ability to control and generate electricity (and thus magnetism). She has a character, "The Queen", that she hat... (more)	—	over 6 years ago
Question	—	Can this mind control work? (Sister question to this question) BACKGROUND: I really like the Anime A Certain Scientific Railgun (it is superior to Index, deal with it).

We have all of the expensive sensors that money can buy to protect our vintage collection of bottle caps and Golden Girls memorabilia from theft, but our circa 1987 Coca-Cola commemorative Bea Arthur cap has gone missing. Le gasp. However, f... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Overpopulation . . . IN SPACE! The government of Futurestan has finally decided to hear the voice of her people.

Question	—	Physics of magically enhanced travel Background I have a character. He is the master of a particularly specific martial art that is pretty much only movement. But it's pretty powerful, in that he can separately: a) move in a manner that is FTL b) move from shadow to shadow instantly c) move very quickly in a non-relativity violating ma...

Question	—	Would 100-200 years be sufficient to "erase" past atrocities? In the particular world that I am working on, I am attempting to build a "utopian" society. A major piece of this society is that, effectively, all historical atrocities have been "forgotten" by the mainstream society. Now the vehicle I am attempting to use to accomplish this is something I read abou... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
