Question	—	Can the human body hypothetically be magnetized/magnetically aligned? I was thinking about how an MRI uses a strong magnetic field to align the spins of hydrogen atoms in the body. What I was wondering about was if the human body experienced a magnetic field much stronger than that from an MRI, is it possible or plausible that a greater portion of the hydrogen atoms i...

Question	—	Is the idea of being "fused" to/into a material as a result of a teleportation accident plausible? Assuming it were possible to phase through matter/teleport, is it possible within the laws of physics/chemistry to end up stuck/fused to solid materials? Obviously we lack the real world ability to test this out, but are the distances between molecules in materials like plastic, wood and metal great... (more)	—	over 6 years ago
Question	—	Parasitic plant concept/other parasite I believe there are precious few questions relating to the concept in general, but I was wondering if the concept of an organism absorbing large amounts of CO2 from blood seemed reasonably plausible? This question also could relate to the plausibility of nanorobots (which could be powered by CO2 in ... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	How fast can a flood realistically occur (perhaps factoring in climate change)? This is sort of on the more realistic side of worldbuilding, but maybe somewhat exaggerated for the sake of a setting. What's the fastest atmospheric pressure drop in weather records? This question is kind of more asking how quickly a flash flood could happen, especially maybe a decade in a future.... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
