Can adding mass to a ringed planet cause a huge chain reaction? I've been wondering about this for a while. Here is the research I've done so far that lead me to ask this question: A planetary ring system is most often formed by the breakup of objects within the Roche limit of a planet. Higher mass objects exert a greater force on its surrounding material (this... (more) |

Can wormholes be used to trap people? I was looking at the diagram for a wormhole: A 2D plane is bent and then its ends are pinched together, creating a kind of 3D tunnel representation of what a 2D wormhole would be: This has made me think about how to visualize a wormhole in 3 dimensions, and I thought long and hard about the "tunnel...

How large can differences in gravity be without being overly dangerous to humans? Let's imagine a planet that is 5000 km in diameter but has the mass of the Earth. I'd imagine standing on that planet might feel similar to standing on the Earth, because the gravity would be comparable. However, at smaller and smaller volumes, there would be a greater difference in gravity with a s... (more) |

What kind of star will work for my system? After what feels like forever and after asking several questions (like this, this and this), I believe I may have decided upon a suitable orbital system for my world: $M{S}=2.272\;571\;144\;5 \times 10^{30} = 1.142\;857$ $\color{blue}{\underline{M☉}}$ $M{P}= 1.898\;2 \times 10^{27} = 1 $ $\color...

Is a "Partial" Black-Hole Possible? Black holes are created by the gravitational collapse of massive stars. But in theory, black holes can also be created by any mass at all that is confined within a small enough volume of space, defined by the Schwarzschild radius. This question got me thinking: If you take matter such as gold and a... (more) |

Can a Robotic Eyeball Be Created that Perfectly Replicates Human Vision? In my world, a "perfect" robotic eyeball has been created. This eyeball is electronic, but it emulates a human eye perfectly. This does not necessarily mean that it has millions of synthetic cones and rods and is physically identically to a normal eye; it just means that whatever it sees, a human wi... (more) |

How can I have an Earth-like moon? My story takes place on the moon of a large gas giant planet. I have been trying to decide on a way for the moon to be as Earth-like as possible, but I have now decided to ask the community for help, because I can't seem to figure it out. It should be a very stable system that has been in place for ... (more) |

Anatomically Correct Propellers NOTE: I previously asked the same question regarding wheels, because I thought that the answers would still help me and that wheels were more applicable to a wider audience than propellers. However, I deleted it after realizing it was a duplicate. I should've just asked my original question, since bi... (more) |

Anatomically Correct Color-Adjustable Eye I'm providing an interesting twist on the Anatomically Correct series by focusing on a single body part instead of an entire organism. The following image depicts the average range of the cones of a normal human eye. Each cone allows the eye to see within a different range, and combining those ran... (more) |

What elements would be created in a star composed entirely of gold? I'm working with the idea of creating a sun made out of pure gold. Of course, this would be completely man-made. Why would anyone want to do this? Because I want a cool concept like that in my story! :) First, you start small, combining thousands of pounds of gold. And you continue to add more and m... (more) |

Can an Unstable Ternary Star System Last Several Hundred Years? After reading the following question, I know that there are not that many solutions to the 3-body problem, and I know that a ternary system is unstable. The 3 stars all orbit each other in a rotating equilateral triangle shape, which is an unstable formation due to perturbations. Doing research else... (more) |

Can an Insect's Pheromones Be Visible? In my story, there is a type of bee that releases a pheromone during mating season that is visible at night in brightly lit areas. This is similar to how you can see rain more easily at night if you look near a bright light source such as a streetlight. After looking up pheromones, I understand that... (more) |

What Technology is Needed to Virtually Simulate...Everything? This is not my question. In my story, I have a machine that you can connect to using electrodes. It allows one to enter a small virtual reality room where everything from gravity and electromagnetism, down to the atoms and quarks of each molecule - everything is simulated. This means that people ca... (more) |

How Likely is a Planet Made Almost Entirely of Metals? For this question, the word 'metals' does not refer to elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. It instead refers to metals as defined by the periodic table of elements. After researching the abundance of chemical elements, it is very clear to me that hydrogen and helium (and occasionally oxygen) ... (more) |

Can a Planet's Electromagnetic Field Be Strong Enough for Wireless Electricity (Induction)? Wikipedia states: "Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (i.e., voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field." This one sentence has baffled me and raised more questions than answers. As I would strongly prefer to not have t... (more) |

Is It Possible to Make a Computer Virus That Acts as an Anti-virus? After receiving answers to this question, I now know that viruses cannot be written in machine code in such a way that they can universally infect all kinds of systems. Every machine has a unique set of instructions, and processes the zeroes and ones in a different way. Knowing that, I have a follow... (more) |

Can a Jupiter-Like Gas Giant Have Deep, Dark Storms? For this question, I was inspired by the following image of the "Jupiter Abyss": What I want to know is, can a Jupiter-like gas giant have thousands of giant black storms, kind of like what I've created in the following image? Please do not take the image too seriously, as I only did my best to ... (more) |

Can We Prevent an Impact Winter Extinction with Modern Technology? I was certain somebody would have asked this before, but after scrolling through the Similar questions list I couldn't find any duplicates. For this question, let's say that an asteroid or comet similar to the one theorized to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs has struck Earth in the modern da... (more) |

Can a Sunset Be Black (Infrared)? Fact 1: The cause of a sunset is from the angle of the sunlight, because the amount of scattering increases as the light passes through more and more of the atmosphere. Fact 2: Higher frequency / lower wavelength light (towards the blue and violet side of the spectrum) scatters more than lower f... (more) |

Is It Possible for a Universally-Executable Virus to be Written in Binary? In my world, there was a man that wrote a virus in binary code - which in turn infects every computer-based system in the world, as long as it is connected to the internet. Is this even possible? Please be as detailed as you can, telling me why or why not it is possible. Edit: assume that my worl... (more) |

Giant, Periodic Geysers? My world has giant geysers. The height of these geysers oscillates over a cycle of 3 or so days. Things you need to know: 1. There is an unknown force in the core of the planet, which exerts pressure outwards that oscillates in cycles. 2. There is a layer of water beneath the crust. All around the... (more) |

Is It Possible to Have Different Sea Levels, Eventually Causing New Landforms to Appear? I'm trying to explain a large continent-sized archipelago that doesn't run in any particular direction. As such, plate tectonics cannot possibly explain its existence. This is an Earth-like planet. Would it be possible for a gigantic lake surrounded by land to be higher than sea level? Or would the ...

Can planetary bodies have a second axis of rotation? Is it possible for a planetary body to have a secondary axis of rotation? For example let's say there's an Earth-like body that is spinning with its North Pole facing the Sun. Imagine that the North Pole is always facing the Sun, in a somewhat tidally locked position. Is this even possible? Is it pos... (more) |

Stabilizing Synchronized Orbit The planet in my story, Ser, is actually in reality a moon orbiting a larger body called planet Rea. Ser is located in the L1 Lagrangian point, which means it takes the same amount of time to orbit the Sun as Rea does, always staying in between the Sun and Rea. From the perspective on Ser, Rea would ... (more) |
