Question	—	Animal to have as an efficiently modified enemy to humans I am trying to think of animals that would make the strongest enemy for humans if they were bred in a laboratory. My goal is to have an animal that begins by being used in a benign, controlled way, but can go rogue under the right circumstances (which I'm still working at). I need animals that woul...

Question	—	Can a planet's axial tilt be changed by carefully planned and set high-energy explosions? How powerful would a series of explosions have to be to significantly change a planet's axial tilt? In my universe they have highly energy efficient crystals, not only do they store energy but they also produce it, somewhat like quartz. These crystals also potentiate the power of any energetic reac... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	Long-term memory loss What could I "use" to cause a population wide long-term memory loss. So far all chemicals that I have read about cause future memory loss. That is to say, if you are exposed to it today, tomorrow you won't be able to form new memories. But what I need is a chemical of sorts that will cause a popula... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	What could cause sudden localized atmospheric pressure change? Picture a band of happy campers, literal campers, sitting around some fires. Suddenly they feel their inner-ear "filling up" and after mere instants the ears begin popping, as if they were inside a tunnel, some of them get nosebleeds, some lose balance and fall down if they are standing or back if t...

Question	—	How intelligent would a wild animal have to be to not fear fire? How intelligent would an animal(land bound animal) have to be to not fear fire? It's unable to make it or control it, but when a person is sitting by one, and while other animals act more traditionally keeping away from it, this animal knows that the fire is controlled and so is not to be feared. ...

Question	—	With an extra bright moon hanging above us, would stars still be visible in the night skies? The moon seems gigantic and is extremely bright. The planet BlinketyBlink has a mass of 1.6 Earth masses and a single large moon which orbits it at about 240 000 miles/386 242 km. The moon Totengot is about the size of Ganymede, has an atmosphere similar to that of Venus and an albedo of 0.70, wit... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	Can a dual planet have an orbit around the Sun similar to Earth's? This is a sequel to my previous question How big could a moon be before its orbit became too unstable or tidally locked to its planet OK, let's imagine that the thing everyone thought was a moon was actually a twin planet sharing a barycentre with BlinketyBlink. They are currently not tidally lock... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	How big could a moon be before its orbit became too unstable or tidally locked to its planet How big could a moon be before its orbit became too unstable or tidally locked to a planet about 1.6 times larger than Earth. Planet BlinketyBlink is on a similar orbit (to that of earth's) around its sun, its landmass is 12% to 80% water and 8% ice. Alternatively, if the Moon is about 27% the si...

Question	—	Would a jellyfish type of animal be detectable by radar inside water? On my world a jellyfish type of animal exists, it's an aquatic animal of course and extremely dangerous as it consumes anything organic it touches. It's thin and wide, like a fleshy transparent blanket, not fast at all depending on the currents to go from one spot to another, mostly it just floats a... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	A continent formed entirely by volcanism, possible or not? Could a continent roughly the size of Europe, Africa and North-America combined be formed almost entirely due to volcanic action? Something with a similar formation to this. From a chain of volcanoes the size of Yellowstone maybe? Sprouting over a platformy/plate thingy (can't remember how it's c... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
Question	—	What would cause the temporary migration of a carnivore avian species, normally inhabiting a temperate to tropical region, to a much colder one What would cause the temporary migration of a carnivore/scavenger avian species, normally inhabiting a temperate to tropical region, to a much colder one. It's a seasonal migration, but also a rare one happening only in the colder winters. They usually inhabit a large archipelago near my planet's... (more)	—	about 7 years ago
