Question	—	Could life develop in this ternary sytem? Here is a link to an online animation of stars' movements in a trinary system. Basically, the three stars are orbiting around a barycenter; one (yellow in the animation, mass = 1) closer to it and the other two (red and blue; mass = 0.25) orbiting around each other as well. How far apart would ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Is it possible for a planet to orbit a binary system at the same speed as the stars themselves? I know next to nothing about astrophysics, but I've read a few Wikipedia articles, and it seems like a "normal" kind of binary system includes two stars of similar mass orbiting a common center. I know that there are a couple types of planet; the kind that orbits one of the stars, and the kind that ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	How could a dark-skinned race develop light eyes? In a world I am building, a race of humans exists on a tropical archipelago with a very hot climate. Their skin, naturally, is very dark, but I want to have their eyes [most, if not all of their eyes] be light grey. Is this possible? (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Question	—	How would Newton's Laws and the rest of physics be changed on a non-inertial frame? A non-inertial frame, such as a planet that does not have constant velocity in its orbit, would change the laws of physics in many ways. For example, if you stood on the surface of the planet as it accelerated and dropped something, it would seem as if a force pushed it in some direction as it fell.... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
