How could it be possible for an entire region of space to be filled with Earth like planets? Ok, I get it, me dumb, you smart. Only smart questions allowed. In any case I'm going to leave the question unaltered in case some others might get something out of the answers. Thanks to everyone who's posted comments or answers. Much appreciated. Original question: How could it be possible for a... (more) |

How CAN we scale up living creatures to be giant sized? Piggybacking on this question: Can you simply scale up animals? how CAN we scale up living creatures to be giant sized? What would need to done to make truly giant animals (Dragons, Kong, Godzilla, etc.) possible? Land creatures, flying creatures, ocean creatures, included. All the questions I've fo... (more) |

Life in the water/snow line of a protoplanetary accretion disc? So I was reading this article recently, titled Stellar Outburst Brings Water Snow Line into View: http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1626. In short it's about a protoplanetary accretion disc around a young star. The closer the disc is to the star the hotter it gets. But on the farther side of the disc... (more) |

Artificial water planet and shell world combo I've been trying to create a water planet with certain aspects. I wanted it to have a breathable atmosphere and to be a microgravity environment. I'm developing humanoid characters that can breathe both water and air, and I wanted them to be able to swim in the water and also fly/float in the sky (bu... (more) |

How to transform matter from an immaterial state to another more solid state Does matter, physical things that can be observed and measured by our five senses, have wavelength (or phase) the way that radio waves do, and if so can that be manipulated somehow? Let me explain... I have a story in which a scientist is trying to transform an immaterial being into a material being... (more) |

Imitating the double body aspect of quantum entanglement with other tech"¦ I'm working on a scenario where one person can be at two places at the same time, kind of like a mirror version of themselves where the original person controls both bodies even though the two bodies are separated by great distances. His/her original body (body A) would remain at the sending location... (more) |

A place from which one could watch time outside move faster Please reality check my place from which one could watch time outside move faster... A space station constantly moving at near light speed. The space station is created by a race with superior technology. They are running experiments that will take ages to complete so they want time to pass faster ... (more) |

How to keep this artificial water planet from evaporating or freezing? Piggybacking on this question: Could soft matter infused with nano or pico sized magnets be used to clump together so that we could create environments with it? ...So we have a planet that has lower gravity than Earth, low enough for people to float/fly in the sky (so it does have an atmosphere- lik...

Could soft matter infused with nano or pico sized magnets be used to clump together so that we could create environments with it? I am trying to create a planet with low gravity that keeps an atmosphere and has an ocean that covers the whole planet. Basically I am developing beings (separately from this question) who can live in both water and air and I want them to be able to swim in the ocean and also fly/float in the sky, so... (more) |

What is INSIDE a Wormhole? IF they were real, would wormholes work in the way that they do in sci-fi (for all intents and purposes "teleportation", travel without movement, FTL, immediately "appearing" at the other location), OR is there space, time, matter inside a wormhole? If a wormhole is meant to circumvent light speed b... (more) |

How could two alternate realities "blend" at a single point in space time? From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse The multiverse (or meta-universe) is a hypothetical set of various possible universes including the universe which we live in. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy and the physical l... (more) |

Can this type of winged humanoid possibly work? See diagrams So, I don't believe that the "angelic" type winged human can exist (y'know, the kind with the feathery wings sprouting from the back). Too many problems of anatomy, weight, etc. But I am trying to create something where the humanoid is winged, but with a more plausible anatomy. Added to which: I'm c... (more) |

How could it be possible to exert gravity without mass? Some of what I read in How could a 4D organism influence events in our world made me think in a different direction about a question I asked before. I'm trying to create a large sphere shaped field of gravity, without a physical mass at it's center, that floats in space. Inside the field would exist... (more) |

Could our biochemistries allow us to interact in any meaningful way with alien life that was based on other biochemistries? This question assumes that there is complex, intelligent life on some other world other than the kind found on Earth. Carl Sagan allowed that silicon and germanium might replace carbon, and ammonia is thought to be the next thing that could be a conceivable replacement to water as a solvent. From ... (more) |

How would sunlight work in the area of shared atmosphere of a Rocheworld? (See diagram) Presupposing that a Rocheworld can even exist... I imagine that sunlight would work more or less the same in the atmosphere of any part of an Earth like planet that was tidally locked with a duplicate planet in a Rocheworld scenario. But what about in the area between them, where the ... (more) |

What are the climatological effects to the surface of a planet where the atmosphere gives way to vaccum? (diagram included) (Please see diagrams) This is a question regarding an area of a Rocheworld scenario that I haven't found anything on. It is suggested that the OUT side of a planet that is tidally locked with another is actually exposed to the vacuum of space because the gravity has pulled the atmosphere away from... (more) |

Flight within the shared atmosphere of a Rocheworld, and between the planets, with low gravity wrinkle? In a Rocheworld scenario where two planets are tidally locked and share an atmosphere, but where both the planets are so small that their gravity is very little (as low as one of the dwarf planets in our solar system, such as Ceres, for example), is it possible for creatures that can fly to go back a...

Falling in a micro-gravity scenario? Let's say we have a micro-gravity environment where people are staying afloat in the air because they have wings or some other means of resisting the low gravity, but then for some reason they find themselves bereft of that ability and start being pulled by the gravity"¦ would they break their legs o...

How can a small planetoid hold an atmosphere under artificial means? Edit: Before I give up on this I wonder how could an advanced civilization create conditions on a small planetoid (Ceres sized?) to keep an Earth level breathable atmosphere? It seems like its impossible in nature, but what about artificially? Some handwavium is allowed of course. Edit: I previously... (more) |

Gravity and a massive gaseous sphere in space Some research, and some answers from others, have suggested that a massive (planet sized?) sphere of gas in space, with no hard core, but breathable air inside some part of it, can create enough of its own gravity to keep it stable (hopefully long enough for life to form there). The massive sphere ... (more) |

Is this gas giant possible? I want to create a gas giant planet. The parameters I would like for it to have are: It should have a large layer of gas within its atmosphere that living creatures including humans can survive and thrive in, and I would like for that area to have zero-g. It should not be ridiculously windy. And it ... (more) |

How would a human have to be gene-geneered to thrive in a zero-g environment? I'm trying to create a massive contained zero-g environment that can sustain many life-forms including humans. The research that I'm doing doesn't make it look good. Seems like we just need gravity. But say we could build a human to survive in zero-g without the problems astronauts have encountered ...

Does the interior surface of a Dyson Sphere exert gravity? The interior of this particular Dyson Sphere is so large that it encapsulates a star at its center. Otherwise it is filled with breathable air which creatures can breath and fly in. I imagine that for the most part it contains a zero gravity environment, except for the areas closest to the star and t... (more) |
