Question Genetic structure of a trait with six discrete phenotypes
In my world magic is conferred genetically. Their are five "types" of magic, which never mix. You either have one type, or you have another (or none at all, the sixth option), you never have a mix of two. In real life we see this behavior frequently with two discrete options. By that I mean two dist...

Question Creating wood actually as hard as granite
Would it be possible, with genetic engineering, to create a form of tree which produces wood with the same strength/hardness as granite, capable of being used in place of stone for castle-style walls and other defense structures? What minerals and/or nutrients would be required? This plant would not...

Question How much force needed to blow open a planet?
I recently asked this question about what would happen if a fusion bomb went off in the core of a planet, and the answer was relatively uninteresting. As was aptly said in my previous answer, the effect of a nuclear bomb in the core would be very small. So I have a new question (suggested by Tim B....

Question What would be the effect of a powerful explosive going off in the core of a planet?
What would happen if a powerful explosive went off in the core of a planet? On Earth, you have several layers of the planet, the crust, the magma, the outer core, and the inner core. Right now, human technology can't really get past the crust. But say an alien civilization came that could get all th...

Question Generating a Magnetic Field Biologically
I was answering this question about how a living planet-organism could be possible, and realized I didn't know how such a planet-organism could produce a magnetic field. I postulated that it could somehow use revolving magnets, but this seemed weak and difficult to imagine in reality. So this brings ...

Question Microbe transforming humans to plants
Note: This question assumes an earth-like biology. Could a microbe (probably virus) be created that transformed humans into plants? What I mean by this is that the microbe would take human cells, and slowly, over time, transform them into plant cells. Like the new plant would retain a human like sha...

Answer A: Does living without access to sunlight for extended periods have known physical or psychological effects on humans?
Artificial light could be used instead of sunlight. Much of the basis for this answer comes from this article. The article is mostly about sleep cycles, but it includes some pertinent information. External cues keep the body in sync. That's the biggest thing. To be completely successful in mimi...
