Question	—	What would transhumans developed to live on dark, cold planets look like I'm envisioning a setting in which human beings have altered themselves significantly to be able to live on alien worlds without significant terraforming. One type of transhuman needed would be one that could live on extremely cold, often dark planets, moons, or areas of planets - like Mars, Titan, ... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	What set of circumstances are most likely to lead to a planet with a climate resembling the Great Plains? Part of my story will be set on a planet where a culture similar to that of the Old West has arisen - cowboys, frontier towns, homesteaders, etc. In order to make this development more plausible, I want the entire surface of the planet, or large swathes of it, to be fairly similar in terms of climate...

Question	—	What plausible reason could I give for my FTL drive only working in space I've created a fairly fleshed out, detailed FTL concept. Basically, you have a circular starship, with a ring of tungsten encircling that, held in place by an antigravity ring beneath it. The rim of the starship consists of a plasma window - basically superheated plasma held in place by a magnetic fi... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	Are there any issues with this FTL drive concept? I asked a question earlier on here concerning Negative and Heavy Matter - hypothetical types of matter I created to have a working FTL drive. With some extra work, I've tweaked the concept and been able to make an FTL drive I feel is pretty self-consistent. I'm asking this because I want to know if i... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	How feasible is this gravity-altering exotic matter I've conceived? Would it have any unforseen consequences? Ok so I was thinking about a way to hypothetically have undiscovered elements with bizarre properties (for unobtainium purposes). And an idea hit me: replace nucleons with heavier but stable counterparts to replace the strong nuclear force with gravity. Let's consider the makeup of an atom of what I... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
