Question	—	What 4D shape could best fit a looping world? I have an idea for a world such that the world itself is like a large loop. The best way I can think to describe it is going step by step through the "loop". Imagine a planet-like object; a sphere akin to that of Earth. If you dig to the center, the center is actually like an opening to a "fork", su... (more)	—	almost 6 years ago
Question	—	What is the optimal circadian rhythm? We have 24 hour schedules because the earth rotates about once every 24 hours. But what if humans were on a planet that didn't have 24 hour days? Would their bodies adapt to stay awake for far longer or shorter periods of time, then likely also sleeping longer or shorter, or would their bodies still ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	How to make a planet with differential gravity and constant daylight I am hoping to create a planet with a greater rotational speed, making it oblong, thus causing differential gravitaion from the equator to the poles. I am hoping for the gravitarion to be lighter than the moon (possibly just heavy enough to prevent a person from jumping off the planet [the tangential... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	A planet rotating twice per second; what mass is needed to hold it together, and how oblate would it be? I want to create a planet that has a frequency of two rotations per second, thus making a "Planet without Night". The planet will be like a flattened disc, due to inertia causing the planet to be an oblate spheroid. Gravity on the planet should also be very different at the "equator" than at the pole...
