Question Age Reversal Accident - how will this affect the person?
In the future the technology to reverse one's age exists. We can make people younger but not older. One day there is an accident, and someone is reverted to a ten year old, instead of reverting to their mid twenties. Is it realistic to suppose that the differences between child and adult brains ...

Question How does planet size affect weather?
For simplicity assume hypothetically we make multiple copies of earth: XS, S, M, L, XL. The only difference between them is their size (radius), everything else is the same. S is half the size of earth, M is earth, L is twice the size of earth. XS is a quarter of the size of earth (the moon?), XL ...

Question Polar Heat, Equatorial Cold - Climatic Effects of Inverted Global Temperatures
How does inverting global temperatures affect climate? Here exists a fantasy world similar to earth in all important ways. Except, however, that global temperatures have been flipped; it is coldest at the equator and warmest at the [geographic] poles. After reading Climate Modelling 101, though ...

Question Harmony amongst Human Termites?
In a magical world there is a tribe of people divided into termite-like castes. They live in the wilderness, far from most regular humans. They are effectively human; fully conscious and conscientious individuals who are exceptionally loyal to their own kind, not simply because of their isolation f...

Question Rules for the Development and Spread of Urbanisation
I am creating a map for a story set in a pre-industrial world, and have made the basic physical geography. My main concern now is the development of culture, centred around urbanisation. There are some obvious commonalities between major cities historically; mostly that they are along a river or be...

Question Where are the wettest and driest places in this world and why
I have created a world map for a story I'm making. And it has been too long since I studied geography and geology. Assuming earth-like conditions, and a normal distribution of climate based on (approximate) lines of latitude (equator, tropics, arctics), what regions would have unique climates owing...

Question How to make storms that temporarily suppress electronics
Let's presume there's a world much like ours in the not so distant future, but as time goes by storms become stronger and more frequent. That as far as I understand this is already something related to global warming, but what (vaguely scientific process caused by either nature or pollution of some ...

Question How to make GM/GMO children exceptionally loyal to one another?
In the not so distant future a man builds a remote doom fortress to design, create, and raise GM/GMO children. His plan is to nurture geniuses who can enact his dastardly plan to wipe out humanity, and for his children to repopulate the earth. The man precisely designs his (let's say ten) childre...

Question mountain fallout glasshouse construction
In the future (based on present/emerging tech) someone builds what is effectively a mountain bunker to survive a nuclear winter. But bunkers don't have natural light. So, the plan is to build a bunker into a mountain, and have the top (maybe side too, depending on orientation and position of bunker...
