Question Electrokinesis, direct, and based on technology
Superhumans in my setting work based on advanced technology (but not clarketech; no violations of physical laws, no FTL). My question is, how can a superhuman direct electricity? From my understanding of electricity, it moves in the easiest path it can take. Air, for instance, retards the motion...

Question What thickness of atmosphere and strength of magnetosphere would I need for a planet to have a deadly daytime and a hospitable nighttime?
What thickness of atmosphere, and strength of magnetosphere, would I need for a planet to have a deadly daytime and a hospitable nighttime? I'm wanting a planet in which humans can survive on as long as they come outside at night. The Sun's UV light is lethal, and so no human can come out during the...

As the acceleration is initially slow, the planets around the star will stay in orbit (I thin...

Question Can a single, larger black hole be split into multiple smaller black holes?
Essentially, my question is, can one larger black hole be split into a system of smaller black holes? I'm assuming energy requirements will be prohibitive, and that it may not be possible without exotic matter with negative mass. Can, if energy requirements are not a problem, and exotic matter is av...
