Mountain Destruction by mining I have a mountain in a story that basically needs to be taken down (inadvertently) by human action in a world with premodern (so mediëval/ early renaissance at best) tech levels. I have been thinking of a couple of scenarios (if all fails i can Always pull the ole magic card) to pull this off and c... (more) |

(Semi) Believable way to quickly submerge a large landmass I once before asked a question on how to quickly submerge a large landmass/continent. The answers there basically concluded that literally ''Sinking'' (a la Atlantis) is pretty much impossible to do fast. So I have thought about it a lot more and came up with the following scenario: Imagine a la... (more) |

Possible explanation of amphibious abilities Okay so i have this world that is inhabited by an alien race that outwardly is basically undistinguishable from an ordinary earth-human. Due to the specifics of this planet they live on they can breath just fine in air that would be way too rarefied for normal humans (So Heights are no problem at all... (more) |

Possibility of certain climates I am trying to make three neighbouring countries with varying climates. One country needs to basically be Arizona (Especially like the Monument Valley area with the red sand and those iconic buttes), the second needs to be more to the south and be like steriotypical Australia (so even more wild/rugg...

How to tackle one or multiple submerged continents A part of the story I am writing involves two continents that centuries before the story takes place sunk into the sea. I want to have a way to explain this that does not come down to just the sea level rising high enough to swallow those continents, but rather the continents ''sinking'' as it were.... (more) |

Realistic look for subterranean humanoid race So i have been playing around with the idea of a world that due to its orbit (it is both quite a bit away from it's parent star and due to its orbit permanently between two much bigger planets) has something of a permanent night going on (brightest part of day would look like twilight on earth). The ... (more) |

Appropriate Material for a Red Moon I have some ideas regarding this, but thought I would check to see what you guys can come up with, as I found some of the ideas here often trump mine in originality and/or plausibility. So, I have a planet which has a moon orbiting it, but instead of the white/yellow-ish glow that our moon gives us... (more) |

(Semi) Scientific way to explain fast space travel I am looking for a (if only semi or even the tiniest bit) scientifically explainable way to make a spaceship travel fast enough that interplanetary travel (take the average distance between any 2 of the planets in our solar system for an example if you will) only takes either hours at it's shortest a...

Gas Giant with solid surface I have the feeling the answer to this will come down to ''impossible'' but let's ask anyway to be sure. We know gas Giants have no solid surface and if you tried to land on one you would fall into the planet till you reach the solid core (at wich point you would have most likely been crushed into o...

Effects of multiple moons on a planet Judging by our own planet we know what the effects of a moon on a terrestrial planet are. We also know that if a planet has two moons on the same side you would get insane tides and that two moons on opposing sides will cancel each other out resulting in no tides. My question is what would happen ... (more) |

''Habitable'' planet close to a star Imagine if you will a star comparable with our sun and a planet like earth orbiting at roughly the same distance around this star as our earth around the sun. Would it be possible to place a planet somewhere between this ''earth analogue'' and the star/sun at such a distance as to get a planet comp... (more) |

Rotation period of a planet around a star (sun) Is it possible for a planet to be much further away from its star than earth is from the sun (because for example the star is much brighter/Hotter) yet still have a comparable (as in not tens if not hundreds or thousands of times longer) year and day length to earth? P.S. To clarify this question s... (more) |

Realistic placements of Mountains and the like This question basically boils down to this: What would be the places on a given continent where one would find mountains? I have seen maps from games, movies, board games, books etc. where it would seem mountains could almost be placed anywhere on a given landmass without any rhyme or reason. I also ... (more) |

What is the Habitable Zone of a Red Dwarf star? This question is pretty straightforward: What is the minimum and maximum distance for a planet to be in the habitable zone of an average sized (not biggest, not smallest) Red Dwarf star? (more) |

Distance between star systems I'm writing a story that will eventually escalate from being focused on one planet to the entire star system that planet belongs to, and finally to a big story involving the two nearest star systems to the one the Original planet is located in. So what I would like to know is what is the minimal di... (more) |

Question about climate and geography I have been asking around a bit because i am trying to create a world for a story i'm writing. And after some loose questions i think the better way to get an answer will be to just list the criteria i try to get into this world and let the better educated among you provide me with some answers. W... (more) |

Equatorial or Meridial Ocean I am building a world that is mostly land but i need something to divide it all up a bit so i decided I'm adding an ocean. What i want to know is the following: Would it be even remotely possible for a planet to either have an ocean across its equator (Big northern continent and Southern continent ... (more) |

Habitable zone around a Blue Supergiant I am writing a story centered around a planet orbiting a Blue Supergiant star. What I want to know is how far away a planet would have to be to be in the habitable zone of such a star. The star I have in mind is roughly comparable to Rigel and don't mind anything like the need for protection from ra... (more) |
