reasonable travel time from high earth orbit to earth/sun L4/L5 (IT restrictive world) In a world where there are strict controls on "computational and instruction following machines" (all calculation machinery are basically none reprogrammable and limited to specific narrow tasks - frequently mechanical or nomograms/slide rules ) how would such laws effect regular travel to Earth/Sun ...

Shallow sea world - plausable geology? Imagine a world covered in a shallow sea (usually only 4 metres or less) that has little land, where there is land its in the form of fairly small islands (less than 1sq KM) This will be populated externally so it doesn't need to be life bearing. Is such a world geologically plausible ? What world... (more) |

Minimum computational power for ad hoc navigating the solar system Imagine a world (or rather a solar system) where in its history there has been a war with emergent AI's There are very strict laws governing the speed and complexity of computer systems However because of the very depleted state of raw materials - (imagine 1000's of years, even after AI emergence) ...

If there was a planet where the asteroid belt is, could it have a stable orbit? If a planet existed in an orbit where the asteroid belt is, would the orbits of all the planets be stable, and what would the climates be like on these planets? Assuming there could be a planet in that orbit, could there be any scenario where this planet is destroyed and the solar system reaches the... (more) |
