Question	—	Can I trigger supernova artificially? As far as I know stars are going supernova as a natural process. Can aliens trigger it artificially? If this is possible then: How can I do this (what minimum technology and civilization development is needed; what tools or devices are needed)? How long this process will take (from "pushing button... (more)	—	almost 6 years ago
Question	—	By what mechanism can lasers destroy an entire planet? What circumstances must be met in order to destroy a planet with just a single laser beam hit? If this is possible at all then, please, try to provide some possible details: an approximate energy of such laser, distance from which it should be fired, what geological, physical chemical etc. steps o...

Question	—	The most secured, completely untraceable mobile phones in the world I'm writing a story about a company similar to Google, i.e. which wants to know everything about everyone and which wants to trace everything that is traceable out there.

Question	—	Minimum time required to infect entire human population with a virus I have an idea for a short SF story, where an alien race infects a tiny village with a virus, which eventually spreads to entire Earth. And I need to know what minimum time is required to infect the entire population? As I remember, there was an assumption in the movie "Outbreak" that initial infect... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	What technologies and sciences are needed to detect a star going supernova? What technology (at minimum), devices or minimum civilization development is needed, so that an individual member of this civilization would be able to detect that some star is going supernova? My question is inspired by "The Inner Light" episode of Star Trek Next Generation (though I don't know wha... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Can civilization development occur completely without faith? Could a civilization grow or develop to advanced levels if they don't hold religious beliefs? I have just watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Who watch the watchers" (season 3, episode 4).

Question	—	Does the Kardashev scale have points below zero? There's a Kardashev scale in which Earth civilisation is at 0 (the lowest) level with all following levels being purely hypothetical and describing civilisations more advanced than human. Is there any known anti-Kardashev scale, that describes civilisations in lesser stage of development than the cu... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
