Question	—	Lagrange systems: What is the mass range for a gas giant if I want to place a earth-like planet on L4 and L5 I am wanting to make a 3 world lagrange system around a Sol analog star that includes 1 gas giant and 2 terrestrial worlds with large moons. I want the terrestrial worlds to have a similar gravity to Earth (about 80-120% of Earth's gravity) and also be able to support liquid water and carbon-based li... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	Impacts of a moon falling on an Earth-like planet? In the world my friend and I are making, the dark lord makes one of the planets uninhabitable by causing a moon, about the size of our own, to fall on it. About 7000 years later, it is unnaturally cooled down via deus-ex-machina. What would be the impacts of this event on the planet itself? The plane... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	Would structural colouring work for making hair green, blue and or grey? Today I was thinking about how to make an elf who naturally grows blue hair. Thinking about this I came up with the idea of coloring the hair using microscopic eyes like with blue, green and gray eyes for normal people. I am wondering what would be required for this to work and what would be required... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Question	—	I have made a design for creating artificial gravity on low gravity worlds for my world, does it work? So I have been thinking about making a building on the moon that would create a 1g environment for the people inside without making the structure too inconvenient to attempt to get into. This is my design. Note, it has no airlocks because it would be in an enclosed dome or structure with an artificia... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Question	—	What do Lunar colonists drive in the 21st century? So I my question is quite simple. With current technology or technology that we are likely to gain this century would it be easier for Lunar colonization programs to develop wheeled vehicles or walkers for simply economic purposes, ie. for mining, traveling, and transporting goods. On top of that wha... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Question	—	Can planes fly on Mars? My question is very simple, I want to know if the Martian atmosphere is too thin to hold planes up and, if it is thick enough, how high planes could reasonably go. This is considering heat management as a non-issue with the air-pressure being the only problem. Now I don't really understand how planes... (more)	—	over 6 years ago
Question	—	How big of a coronal mass ejection from the sun do I need to destroy all the electrical equipment on earth So the background is simple: in the modern day a CME (coronal mass ejection, a solar flare that has escaped the sun) hits the Earth and destroyed all the electrical equipment causing planes to crash and roads to instantly be filled with wrecks, power plants to became useless and power grids destroyed...

Question	—	How to differentiate between elves and men So in most fantasies elves and men are very similar in their physical appearance to where they look mostly the same, the only way they tend to be physically differentiated is by their ears and clear skin. The truth is that in most fantasies differentiating between these two just isn't a problem. I me... (more)	—	over 6 years ago
Question	—	Is it possible for a tectonic plate to be separating from all the plates around it? So here's the picture, an island about the size of Sicily is on its own tectonic plate, it borders three other tectonic plates, it's separating from all of them at the exact same time. This is a fantasy setting but I don't want "because magic" to be the only answer, so please tell me if this is scie... (more)	—	over 6 years ago
