Question	—	How Could an Alien or Superhero Increase and Decrease Their Hearing at Will? Would it be possible for an extraterrestrial humanoid or superhero to increase and decrease their hearing at will, and if so, how? I'm thinking specifically of an alien who can somehow adjust their hearing (solely on a biological level and without the aid of advanced technology) so as to have highly ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	The Geography and Ecology of a Supervolcanic Planet What would be the geographical and ecological implications for an Earth-like planet that experienced intense volcanic and supervolcanic activity on a scale that, while decreasing over time, was far greater during its prehistoric past than anything ever seen on Earth? Eruptions would have had ejecta m... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Could a Spaceship Enter/Exit the Atmosphere Without Landing Would it be possible for a spaceship of some sort to descend from space and through the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet, not land, then turn around and head back into space? In other words, could it move freely between space and the Earth-like planet's atmosphere without the inconvenience of havin... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Maneuverability of Geosynchronous Spaceship Alright, this is an edit of my previous question, in response to a number of urges to clarify it. I'll do my best to be clear and concise. How long would it take a spaceship, locked in geostationary orbit above a fixed point on the Earth's surface, to descend from orbit to the surface? I'm also curi... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Could Human Civilization Survive Hypercanes? Alright, so I've been doing some research on hypercanes, which are, in short, theoretical hurricanes that may have ravaged Earth in its ancient past, when ocean temperatures were much higher (at least 120-some degrees Fahrenheit). These storms could reach sizes comparable to North America, wind speed... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Breathability of Atmosphere on Ocean Planet So I'm wondering if it would be possible for humans to live healthily on a largely Earth-like planet that was covered almost entirely in salt water. Landmasses would all be islands, with only a few reaching sizes of, say, 300,000 km$^2$, and the rest being around half of that or less. These landmasse... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
