Superfluid lifeform Could a life form that uses superfluids as part of its biology exist? I've read in places that the issue for life outside of Earth and especially the theorised silicon lifeforms is that the existence of solvents is complicated and depends on the molecule chosen and local pressure and temperature. T... (more) |

How fast would strange matter conversion go? Background: So this Kurzgesagt video talks about quark stars, and how two of them colliding could send strangelets flying towards Earth or the Sun. Now it's been said that since, theoretically (as none has been actually observed), this is a more stable state of matter, this could start a "contaminat... (more) |

What is the science behind a wave that changes the laws of physics? So I remember reading a long time ago about how a theoretical "wave" could exist, as the laws of physics suddenly changed in one place and then this rippled across the universe, basically at the speed of light (keeping in mind that this would most likely destroy everything) and we'd pretty much have ...

Designing flora: placing herbs So I have noticed that most herbs come from the Mediterranean as confirmed by this site and those that do not often come from either actual Mediterranean climates or somewhat arid ones. So my question is: is there a link between the two? Edgar from Artifexian argues that Mediterranean climates are t... (more) |

Can an animal produce milk all the time? So as most of you probably know, cows don't produce milk all year round for no reason, they need to be pregnant and then you gotta do something with the calves"¦ Now in my story that has an ecosystem pretty much based on what you would find in the late Eocene on Earth, I was hoping to have some kind...

How quickly do prehistoric populations grow? I am working on a species that ressembles humans beings and that, although slightly engineered in the sense that the evolutionary leaps are aided by genetic modification, they are left to go through the whole natural selection process on their own. Now I looked on this site and everywhere from resear... (more) |

What would a matriarchal intelligent species look like? I have a species of early primates (lemur-like but not lemurs) developing into an intelligent species like humans (and yes, there is some influence from an intelligent species, it's not 100% natural if you're thinking it's unlikely). Now, since lemur catta (ring-tailed lemurs) are matriarchal I wante... (more) |

Why did Europeans not widely domesticate foxes? So I've been thinking for a while about making a world where cats aren't as common and instead are more of a regional domesticated animal, replaced in (mostly Northwestern) Europe by foxes. How come it never took that foxes would be pest control or even hunting companions for rabbit hunt in Europe? ... (more) |

Can you forge iron from oxide dust? I've been looking over the internet and on here to find some kind of evidence for this, but nothing conclusive, so I was hoping for people with a better understanding of smelting, chemistry and physics to help me. Could an early people with relatively little access to iron mines use iron oxide dust ... (more) |

How much colder would that asteroid make my planet? I've seen some posts here (for example this one) for the effects of certain sizes of impactors, but I'm not finding any definite answer and all my google and google scholar searches have not turned up any proper answer. I'm looking at an asteroid a bit over 1km in diameter, possibly 1.6km, iron densi... (more) |

Could a Superhero with radio wave powers hear the radio? Is it was technically possible for a superhero that senses radio waves (like low frequency EM) to "hear" the radio? This superhero senses radio waves a bit like we can see visible light, though not with his eyes. He has a 360 degree field of radio vision, even wider than hearing as he senses these ... (more) |
