Question	—	Can a sounds frequency stun? This is in reference to Could an organism have evolved to kill its prey by shouting at it? However, most answers here speak towards the brute force side of the equation, measure by it's decibel level. I'd like to redirect the question to give a static Decibel amount (we will say 110, so it's loud b... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	Could we unintentionally induce a positive or negative charge on an entire planet? Fits into the planetary transfer of energy category...for whatever reason and using whatever means, one planet is used to generate a massive amount of energy, ultimately as electricity. This power is transmitted to another planetary body and consumed. If this happened on a large scale over a signif... (more)	—	about 9 years ago
Question	—	How would I transport an atmosphere? An abandoned outpost from a long extinct race is discovered. It can easily be repaired and would make an ideal location for a colony, however it has been breached and any usable air has been long lost to space. The outpost has its own power systems that we are capable of turning back on and using, ... (more)	—	about 9 years ago
Question	—	Is a spherical core and magnetic field possible in Cube world Pretty self explanatory question...can the Cube Earth described at the link below support a spherical core and a magnetic field? How would a civilization that has been living on a "cube" Earth differ from one on a "spherical" Earth? (intent of this question is whether or not a cube planet could su... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Do different star systems experience time differently? Somewhat in relation to this question - What could restrain post-singularity societies from spreading across the Galaxy? I'm assuming not all star systems move at the same velocity in relation to the speed of light...some stars will be moving quicker and therefore the planets around them will also b...

Question	—	Could Pluto/Charon support an atmosphere between them? Somewhat inspired by this question : Could a civilization as advanced as humans exist on a planet/dwarf planet like Pluto? Assume two dwarf planets in tide lock orbit around one-another. Assume same mass for the two bodies. Ignore how it developed (atmosphere could be placed their artificially).....

Question	—	Motivations for interstellar colonizations Question is ultimately asking why would we do this? A few parameters first... Technological: Our current knowledge of physics is correct and there is no such thing as faster than light travel, nor is there any 'wormhole' or other connecting device between the two systems. Communication is no fas... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Can we 'beam' energy from the moon? Really can't believe I have to edit this in, but this question has no bearing on our current use and generation of nuclear energy on Earth. There are dangers to nuclear energy generation, or we would not be taking all of these precautionary steps to make it as safe as it is today. These precauti... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	What effect could drop the freezing temperature of water globally to −40 Celsius? This question comes up from Is there a man-made or natural event that can cause an abrupt climate change within hours/a day? "“ trying to get KaguraRap a functional answer to an abrupt temperature drop that would catch humans off guard. I've got a functional outcome I think, but I need reasons for w...

Answer	—	A: What are the power options for intelligent humanoid robots? Turning my comment into an answer. 200 years is an incredible amount of time given our current rate of discoveries...so it's hard to tell what options we might have...though I would suggest our current ones are harshly limited and probably not feasible in a robot. Right now battery technology lags ... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
