The drones will use a flapping winged method to fly similar to insects. Is there any way...
[Question] [ Dragons are very territorial apex predators. They build lairs on mountaintops, roost whenever they aren't hunting, and they hunt from the sky.

[Question] [ People of my had come to continent about 4000 years ago, only other races that could not be considered animals and have some significant quantity were dragons and goblins.

[Question] [ In my previous post, I asked about how tall trees could grow in my world. To be honest, I really need those trees to be huge for my storie, because a big part of the plot will be linked to those big forests, so every characteristic of my world are settled for those trees to grow as big as possible (betwe...
[Question] [ In theory, could any organism using protein folding or another biological process “assemble” the diamond allotrope of carbon, if it were at the correct pressure to do so?

[Question] [ 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 wormhol...
[Question] [ OK - breakdown in society - economic apocalypse in 2030 - society breaks down and the supply chain of what we take for granted fails. 200 years later we have regressed to a technological period of around 1300, however some things have survived - for example the knowledge that bacteria and viruses kill - ...

[Question] [ In the movie Captain Marvel, the main antagonists (at least for half the movie), the shape-shifting Skrulls, can change their appearance to perfectly match any humanoid creature, down to DNA. Scientifically, I would label this as just conscious and very fast evolution, but they also replicate the DNA o...
[Question] [ Magic in this world focuses on controlling the elements of nature (earth, air, fire, water).

[Question] [ I am curious as to what physical geographic features would be present on a plateau 10km above sea level. The Tibetan plateau is only 4km above sea level, so would more than doubling the height exaggerate the geographic features we already see in Tibet, or would new and strange climates and temperature st...
[Question] [ A world idea I'm playing with for a sci-fi idea I'm working on has an atmosphere similar to the composition of Earth's atmosphere during the Carboniferous Period: [Lots of oxygen, so while a human or a creature with similar breathing needs could probably breathe fine, that also means everything is *extre...
[Question] [ I am in the process of fleshing out an alternate world where, following an unnatural super-storm (think cold snaps down to -30°C and heavy snowfall in the 4ft range [1.2 m] inside of 8 hours) in the middle of June, a large number of people are cut-off in the Cold Zone. This zone reaches to the Northern e...
[Question] [ So I have a race of shapeshifters in my world, and in order to change shape or make adjustments to their body (grow wings, arms, tails etc.) They rearrange the atoms in their body, probably through magical means. Greater changes require more energy to move the atoms around, and can also be rather painfu...
[Question] [ The devil is alive, and he walks among you. Eons ago, there was a battle between a powerful deity and a devil from the nine realms of hell.

[Question] [ I'm the city designer for a new city we're calling Morrowville. Having some of the worlds top minds, flying cars have been invented, but can only fly a few feet (2-4) from the ground and not everyone has made the switch, so roadways are still required. I've proposed a number of traditional roadways to th...
[Question] [ Like the title, my world has drastic tides that complete a cycle in roughly 25 days. is this possible? My limited knowledge of astronomy leaves me pretty limited.

[Question] [ Let me pose this question as a hypothetical. Your ship warps/jumps to a planet 50 light years away. You set up a radio signal receiver. Theoretically, the radio is going to receive radio-waves from Earth from 50 years ago. My question is even with a powerful receiver, would the signal be clear enough tha...

[Question] [ Obviously there would be a lot of small (not to mention a couple large) changes humans would need to get used to on a planet that rotates much faster than Earth. The biggest one I’m concerned about right now though is how they’d measure a day. Let’s say that, barring a few incidental adaptations or chan...
[Question] [ I've been working on the anatomy of my boron based life using alternative biochemistry. But I've recently came across a problem that I can't solve on my own. In oxygen breathing life on earth, the macromolecule known as hemoglobin located in the blood is what transports oxygen throughout the body. [![ent...
[Question] [ (My world's details) I have a super-earth world. The surface of the world is shallower due to extra gravity, so shorter mountain ranges and fewer ocean depths.

[Question] [ I am creating a planet where life exists on big islands of frozen methane around the poles. I did some research: from what I understand, methane freezes around -180°C, so I wanted it to be -190°C (this is because I don't want it to melt during summer). Is intelligent life possible at temperatures this l...
[Question] [ I'm building a world which has, apart from the 'usual' stuff, 2 types of stones (haven't really decided on a name yet). 1.

[Question] [ Next question about kinetic weapons in my universe: We have a coilgun/railgun, it launches a projectile at 30 km/s; if it meets a compartmentalized spacecraft on its path, does the projectile go straight through the hull, or blow into schrapnel/plasma just after hitting ship? If not either of the above,...

[Question] [ I'm writing a story about a group of humans (or humanoid people) that are living on a spaceship that's orbiting a planet with high gravity; the force is too much for direct human involvement.

[Question] [ I'll confess that I have a real issue with iron--it rusts quickly.

[Question] [ Previously, a [treaty](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/100133/aerial-surface-assault-without-bombs-explosives) was signed that effectively banned air-dropped bombs, and military versions of rockets and missiles. That treaty leaves a gap as far as Depth Charges go, and this is not precis...
[Question] [ A few of my previous questions have mentioned that the colonists to this world will be scrambling to get whatever foods they can grow, because the planet's fauna is largely nonexistent (There's sea life, but not much else) and the flora offers little to no nutrition due to different biology. With that in...

[Question] [ If you think about it, the reason why we are able to kick is because of how our leg bones (in addition to the rest of our skeletal and muscular systems are set up) are designed.
