How could a plague that killed off the dinosaurs come back? In my story, something pretty insane happens during the 3rd season. The common conception was that an asteroid strike contributed to the extinction to dinosaurs, but unbeknownst to all it was not a giant impact that killed them off; it was actually a world wide plague that destroyed them. The plag... (more) |

An Eden-like moon orbits a barren terrestrial planet. Why is the planet barren while its moon is earthlike? Obize is an Eden-like moon orbiting the barren terrestrial planet Akaria. This planetary system is special in the fact that the two worlds are complete contrasts to each other. The moon has plentiful liquid water, comfortable temperatures and is perfect for life with conditions (relatively) identical... (more) |

How could a planet have zero surface caves? What could cause a planet to naturally have zero caverns with surface openings apart from small impact hollows in the sides of craters and crevices carved in cliffs? To be specific, zero large caverns and cave systems with openings on the surface. (Subsurface caves could exist. BUT if anyone has ... (more) |

How could a planet have plate tectonics but zero or weak earthquakes? How could an earth sized and broadly / liberally earth-like planet have plate tectonics but still experience zero or weak / little earthquakes? How can I have the weakest earthquakes possible while maintaining an environment that is habitable for life? Is it even possible? (more) |

Could a habitable tidally locked planet have a day and night cycle caused by the eccentricity of its orbit? I'm trying to think of ways that a habitable tidally locked planet could have something that resembles a day/night cycle. Shadows caused by any moons being out of the question. Hypothetically, could the planet have an orbit so eccentric and fast that its days occur when it's approaching its periheli... (more) |

How could a mountain range naturally form in a roughly clean, complete shape? In this universe, the planet Paveiha has a mountain range that completely surrounds a region in a semi square/rectangle(ish) shape. Inside the borders of this vast mountain range is a verdant land with an isolated ecosystem and a civilization that is completely detached and protected from the outside... (more) |

How would a torus world (donut shaped) have to rotate in order to have a stable day / night cycle in all of its regions? In this universe, mass and gravity work differently so stable torus planets are possible (donut shaped). How would a torus world orbiting a single star have to rotate in order to have a stable day and night cycle on all of its regions? For example if it was constantly in a horizontal position from ...

How would this tidally locked planet be affected by its moon and would the moon have a deaccelerated orbit? There is a terrestrial planet called Paveiha that orbits a small Red Dwarf star. It is the third planet in a system of 10 planets. Paveiha is close enough to the Sun that it is tidally locked and the planet itself has three moons. Two small irregular moons and one major spherical moon, Jeah, which is... (more) |
