General effects (and narrative practicality) of a moon with an extreme elliptic orbit This is more for fluff and illustrative exotica, but I'm keen on an idea where my new world has a moon that orbits elliptically, but has a fast inward close orbit followed by a longer round trip the other way. I just want a moon that rather than being observed waxing and waning, becomes distinctly s... (more) |

Would there theoretically be an accompanying effect to something moving beyond the speed of light? I have only encountered the "Sonic Boom" a couple of times in my life, once when I was lucky enough to watch Concorde fly over my town in the late 70's. In a story I'm writing someone claims to have encountered/observed something that travelled Faster than Light. And obviously the question is "How w... (more) |

Effects of dropping in and out of zero G on a space station I'm writing a book that involves having a space station that acts as a way point between Earth and a new planet. (Hard"ish" SF, or as "Hard" as I can make it...) The Station sits at the mouth of a wormhole and because the aperture is geostationary to the sun, the new Earth-like planet passes by on a... (more) |

Born and raised on a world with longer days and years - would it impact life expectancy If humans found a habitable world and access to it, what would the effects be of a longer day to those who were subsequently born and raised there? Is there any evidence that a longer day cycle (of say 26 hours) would have any impact on their health and specifically their life expectancy? If there ... (more) |

Acceleration/Deceleration equation for travel within a solar system Basics: There is a wormhole in a fixed position within a solar system. It is roughly 40 million miles from the orbit of the habitable planet, which kind of mimics Earth (roughly 12 month solar orbit at a distance of 90 million miles, etc). Ships typically travel from our Solar system through said wo... (more) |
