Question	—	Will Over-advancement cause genetic/physical degradation? This is another question pertaining to my super-intelligent humanoids: Assuming that their race successfully developed extremely advanced, easily available prosthetics, while they were morally of the ground that "If its better, its a fallacy to not use it" - so much so that most of their population,...

Question	—	Escaping a dying planet Imagine that one day in the not-too-distant future, our scientists discover that our world is dying. It doesn't matter how this is happening, maybe magic or unstable core or Gaia herself has finally had enough of our sht, but the important thing is that it is happening, and soon. Our only hope is t... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	How would science handle inexplicable yet predictable behavior in an element? Let me set the scene: A team of scientists in their lab one day is told that some miners have discovered some strange new substance. Its properties are extremely peculiar, unlike anything ever before seen. Most of those properties are fantastical and inexplicable (think 'Pure', judgmental energy that... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Survival without emotion For a (Super super super soft)Sci-fi RP I've been planning, I've been trying to design an alien race to act as a suitable antagonist. The basis of this antagonistic race is that they are far, far more advanced than humans, and sought to destroy us before we achieve interstellar travel, so that we wou... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Close Quarters Combat... In Space A simple enough question, but one that Grimmsdottir and I agonized over. Basically, what would enable close-ranged fighting between space fleets/ships? We both agreed that having gargantuan ships sniping at one another from billions of miles away was no fun, so what would be a good method to force b... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	The power of the Jupiter projectile I recently re-watched an awesome show - Diebuster. At one point in the show, one of the characters uses Jupiter as a projectile, slamming it into one of the aliens, but to no avail. I can't find a good picture of that scene for some strange reason. Anyway, this question is not about how such a feat... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	An exotic yet portable powersource For my current setting, there will be super robots of ludicrous proportions strutting about as though they own the place (which in all honesty they actually do). So, being so nonsensically powerful, they need a suitably nonsensical power-source. However, I dislike creating green-rocks to use as a fu... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Of Augmentation and Androidisation Assume that in the future, mankind develops Augmentations ala Deus Ex, where robot bits are strapped onto people in an attempt to improve them and their quality of life. This will eventually lead to the logical extreme, where everything that a machine could do better will be left to a machine to do. ... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	Negating the negative effects of childbearing For my setting, I wanted my people to have entirely no concept of sexism whatsoever. To facilitate this, I have made it so that the females of my race are broad-shouldered and generally flat-chested, having the same upper body strength as males. The only way to tell they were female would be if they ... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	Pack animals for forests My setting takes place in a densely forested continent, with huge trees and rushing rivers. The problem is that this forest stretches on for thousands of miles, only occasionally punctuated by some ancient ruins. The forest is also populated by 'Keepers', who are sort of like overenthusiastic Ents: T... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	Towering Titans of Technological Terror Okay, this is unrelated to my current world building in any way whatsoever, but... I have always been a huge fan of the humongous mecha genre (bonus points to anyone who actually recognized my avatar pic), and have done some world building in such a setting before. Unfortunately, it never really get... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	What would someone look like if he were really 'superhuman'? We know that humans are capable of incredible feats, as displayed by Olympic athletes. However, the superhuman heroes that appear in comic books and fantasy novels tend to not only be able to perform such feats, but to be able to sustain such action over a period of time. Not only that, but athletes ... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	A species without pain In my current setting, one of the main dominant species' is the Golem, former automatons made of assorted materials who gained sentience through some kind of life-giving explosion. As such, though they operate like any other sentient species, they can feel no pain and cannot die from any cause (i.e. ... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	Is there a way to simulate the arrow-resistance displayed by heroic characters in fiction solely through biological traits? Exactly as asked on the title, is there a way that a human, or at least, a species that appears outwardly human, could survive being pincushioned by arrows, at least for a suitably dramatic length of time (several minutes, the length of one pre-death monologue, maybe.)? I would rather if the answer ... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	How to make a realistic 'giant' Imagine a race of what we would call 'giants', each of them possibly around 8 to 10 feet (2.40-3.00 meters) tall. What differences would they need compared to us regular humans in order to function? I know that simply up-scaling organs doesn't work as one would expect (Not a biology major, don't hol...
