Question	—	How to hide a spaceship visiting Earth? So, me and the boys have decided to take a trip down to Earth for reasons that matter not be it science, leisure or fleeing persecution. It is no concern how we blend in but our spacecraft poses an issue. How can we enter Earth's atmosphere without drawing attention to ourselves and then land? Als... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	Space Whales, how to survive? We have escaped the galactic government, and now our greatest endeavour yet, life in space. How will these gargantuan space entities eat and survive in space? The whale or other in question is the same size or bigger than a blue whale The travel of this creature is not a worry We do not need to ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Space Whales, how to move? We have escaped the galactic government, and now our greatest endeavour yet, life in space. How shall these gargantuan space entities move and travel through space? The whale or other in question is the same size or bigger than a blue whale The resources and food it needs are not a worry We do not... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Flying Plants: Island edition Now I love huge living creatures and fantasy settings, this just might be reflected in my questions, so I had the idea to make a massive living island. I saw a similar question, but unfortunately it asked not how it would work, but how it would evolve and play out, so I still need an answer. Now to ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	What would happen and stop me from using smaller beings? A problem I've run into is the use of ultra massive beings due to the effects of the square-cube law which means that I cannot within the current laws of physics have the world I envision. My world contains massive, island size ,tortoise-like creatures which walk through shallow coastal areas. These ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Habitable space bridge? In my other question "Is it possible to build a bridge between planets?" several concepts of interplanetary bridges were formed. What I would now like to know is, are any of the proposed bridges able to be build and lived on and also would these bridges have gravity? (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Can I have a giant tortoise? I am aware of the square-cube law, so what conditions do I need for this to work ? The tortoise will be a similar size to the isle of Wight and will walk around in shallow areas in the ocean. What conditions do I need for this to be feasible without magic? I am aware of other questions about similar ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Is there a Dyson-like megastructure that would not block out the sun? If I have a typical Dyson sphere, around my star, it will block the light needed to live on an orbiting planet. Is there any other megastructure that can function like a Dyson Sphere, but does allow enough heat to escape to allow the existence of habitable planets orbiting that star?

Question	—	Would Stirling engines be good in space? My knowledge of Stirling engines is that they work via a heat difference and are extremely heavy when used on a larger scale. This makes the use of them on vehicles a strange choice when there are many other lighter engines. Still, with this information it seems that space vehicles would find the Sti...

Question	—	If I have a giant structure from a satellite to another planet would the people below see it? For this scenario Satellite means an object that orbits the planet, and my satellite is going to be a moon and the structure would be a giant tube going to another planet. What would the people on the planet see and why? Is there a way I could hide it if it was seen? (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Can I build on and live on an island size tortoise? What I am asking is not if there is an possibility of an island (Isle of Wight size because it is an island I am familiar with) size tortoise , I will find a way around that, I just want to know if a human could build and live on an island size tortoise and what technology would be required. The tort... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	Are two Earth-Like planets able to be in the same system while sharing five habitable moons between them? What I want is to know if I could have seven Earth like (What I mean by this is having an Earth-like atmosphere and climate, in this scenario size doesn't matter and nor does gravity) planets in the same system (This is not in our solar system but a different one containing what I will specify and ot...

Question	—	Is it possible to build a bridge between planets? What I am proposing is a bridge making it possible to travel between two planets, I have some ideas but I would like to know if and how it would work. Maybe somehow stopping their orbit and locking them in place with a ring like structure or a flexible moving bridge. I don't care if it requires a str... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
