Question	—	A planet in the center of the system In most star systems, planets orbit around a star. Is it possible for a planet to be so massive/heavy/dense that a star(and other planets) orbit it instead? Bonus points if the planet is also reasonably life-bearing and rocky. Largely inspired by this question over here. Some notes: Apparently, f... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Food economy of pre-civilization carnivorous humanoids Imagine a race of humanoids who only eat meat, and are unable to digest vegetables. Is it possible for these humanoid to be able too create/gather enough food(meat) to the point that job specialization and large scale population growth can occur? In real life, humans were able to specialize into ma... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Space Mechs or Tanks or Planes or Marines - Fighting in space without blowing up each other's starships Suppose that there are 2 interstellar empires at war with one another, both armed with FTL drives which cannot be used within a certain radius of huge gravity fields, stars, gas giants, etc. Another thing to note is that both empires use the same FTL tech, which they had both independently researched...

Question	—	Is a condition leading to a cold-blooded human possible? Well, today I have a fairly simple question. Is it possible for a human to have some sort of birth defect, mutation, disease or something that causes the human body to be unable to produce body heat? (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	The desert of ore, what would the flora and fauna of it be like? Based on my previous question here, which a helpful other person pointed out, which would make the question too broad, here comes a different question for that. Given a desert full of ore sand, what would be the kinds of flora and fauna that could live in such an area (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	The Desert of Ore, how is it different from a desert of sand So, within my setting, I would like to also have a kingdom based in a special desert. Absolutely all of the sand in the desert would be ore sand. Ores of any and all kinds that you could traditionally find by digging underground, you can find it here in this desert as sand. What I ultimately intend ... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Shock Absorption For Real Based on the previous answer here, concerning hammer-proof armor, one of the easiest way to mitigate blunt force trauma, both from swinging hammers and falling off buildings, are with some sort of dampening soft material. However, a hay bale big enough to pad such blows would have to be pretty thick,... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
Question	—	What would a binary black hole look like from the surface of a planet orbiting that system If it is even possible, what would the Goldilocks zone be like - in fact is such a system even possible of holding life - around a binary black hole? Could it have planets orbiting it? EDIT 1: Oh well, no star no life. So now, how would it look like if there is a star that orbits the binary black ho... (more)	—	almost 10 years ago
