Question	—	What does a gas giant close to a red dwarf look like? In my setting, there's a gas giant orbiting in the habitable zone of a red dwarf (for specificity, its radius is about half Jupiter's, and it's 0.35 AU from 61 Cygni B. Ignore the effect of the other star in the binary, it's too far away to matter). All I want to know is, what does the planet look li... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	1g Acceleration Spaceship Design In my story, a ship is built in orbit around Earth, designed for a 20-person scientific expedition to a planet 11.4 ly away. It will accelerate at 1g for half the distance, then flip around and accelerate at 1g in the opposite direction until it comes to a stop. It's not designed to ever enter an atm...

Question	—	Parallel universe portals: an infinite hall of mirrors? Parallel-Universe Portals A solid material has been discovered that, when shaped into a ring and activated (by lowering its temperature below some critical point, let's say), it forms a parallel universe on the other side. This isn't a gateway into an existing alternate universe, but rather a duplic... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	What does air vanishing on contact sound like? I'm about to break rule seven of superpowers: don't think too hard about what it does to the air. A superhero has the ability to disappear any atoms that come within 2 cm of their skin (atoms that are already in that region do not disappear unless they exit and re-enter, so their clothing is fine if...

Question	—	A Nonlethal Time Dilation Field I want a way to enclose an area (building-sized and on Earth, let's say) in a field that warps spacetime so that time appears to pass 100x slower within it. You don't need to explain how the field got there or what effect could produce it, only lay out a consistent framework that it operates under. (... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
