[Question] [ Nobody knows why do we need to sleep. So, I am thinking of inventing handwavy pill, which "cures" our need to sleep. However, it does not cure it forever. If taken as prescribed, you can defer your need to sleep by 6 days, you need to sleep every seventh day. In other words, you can go up to 160 hours w...
[Question] [ Futurestan, the nation that deals with its [problems](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/18771/the-new-rioters-weapon-of-choice) by [shooting them into space](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/21388/overpopulation-in-space), has a serious problem.

[Question] [ Meet the following specimen of **Armatae Bestia**. I'd describe it, but a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll just put one here instead (Feel free to drag it into browser window to get a much bigger picture).

[Question] [ I could see this question being asked on Physics SE as well, since it concerns the law of conservation of energy at its core. Wizards in the world of Harry Potter seem capable of almost effortlessly performing feats of destruction. Concentration may be required, but they don't put hardly any physical wor...
[Question] [ I'm doing some background work for a scifi/horror piece, and it includes "orcs", who are just humans that have undergone a series of mutations - the main one being that they no longer produce [myostatin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin). This results in them having more muscle mass than a normal ...
[Question] [ Making things bigger or smaller is common in speculative fiction (giant ants, tiny people, planets bigger than stars, and stars smaller than light bulbs.) What general principles should be kept in mind when making things bigger or smaller? [Answer] The most basic thing to understand when scaling thing...
[Question] [ # The Premise Setting a near-ish future world, where people live a full life and then upload their minds into different hardware and continue on. Setting a timeline for this, *when* (what year) are we looking at? Note that the development is an ongoing process so initially it becomes technically possible...
[Question] [ I have an alien species that while similar to humans in many ways have mouths that are closer to muzzles. In short, they do not have cheeks like humans do. I realize that this will effect the sounds they are able to produce and thus their language. Most of their speech will be translated, but I want to k...
[Question] [ I'm putting together a steampunk novel, and I'm trying to plot out the course the main characters are taking. Let's say I have a small airship, meant for a crew of half a dozen to a dozen. Let's say it uses helium gas. Let's say the cabin is built like a pleasure yacht, about 50 feet long -- not a milita...
[Question] [ Set in modern day, a small warren of rabbits randomly achieve sapience in an unremarkable, rural countryside. These rabbits become capable of thinking and self-reflection, as well as advanced teamworking and organisation. They could use tools, but its difficult to craft or hold anything with paws. Otherw...
[Question] [ Somewhat similar questions have been posed before, but what I'm really interested in is what selection pressures would be necessary to produce a subspecies of giant humans, about three meters in height. In asking this question I am making several assumptions: * Humans can climb trees, and therefore would...
[Question] [ My world includes a medieval city which contained a castle, a cathedral, university developed from a former monastery, a guild hall, a market place and number of houses and small farming families - all bounded by a city wall. My questions are, how big would that kind of city be? Would the street layout b...

[Question] [ My world is, at a very high level, well populated. That being said, my focus has been on certain cities relevant to my story. These cities are detailed; they have government structures, leadership (people), armies/guards, cultural identity, racial make-up and more - essentially, they are completely flesh...
[Question] [ I would like to have a world on which humans can live unaided -- they can breathe, the climate is workable, they can eat the local vegetation, etc -- but on which a complete day is substantially shorter than it is here on earth. I think this means I need a faster rotation or a smaller planet or both, but...
[Question] [ There is this idea that we find in a few books, mainly [The Swarm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swarm_(novel)) by Frank Schätzing and in the [Ender Saga](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game_(series)) by Orson Scott Card, that some species could communicate via DNA exchange. Technically, yes D...
[Question] [ 4D objects can rotate in two independent planes simultaneously, giving them 2 equators (great circles where the planes of rotation intersect the surface) and no poles. Both equators are objectively identifiable, but nowhere near as perceptually salient as the equator and poles are on a 3D planet like Ear...

[Question] [ Suppose the typical Medieval fantasy world with elves, humans, dragons, magic, politics, society, and the rest, such as is found in countless open-world games. Open-world games encourage the player to fill in all the corners of the map, leading to the exploration of countless dungeons in all their variou...
[Question] [ Set in near future probably in the mid of 22nd century AD, most of our labours are being overtaken by robots and especially in those sectors which requires zero room for error such as surgical operation, accountancy, etc. These artificial intelligence robots are preprogrammed with advanced emotional reco...
[Question] [ As the title says, what would the universe be like if the gravitational force was 0.1% stronger but the other forces (strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetic force) stayed the same? Would the universe have formed the same as it is now? [Answer] Not a lot would be different, actually. Let's tak...
[Question] [ I know a few algorithms to build an elevation map for a planet, but most of them do not take into account the underground aspects of the planet (caves, tunnels, ...). Are there any algorithms to take care of this? Are they used only after an initial elevation map has been created or could they be used jo...
[Question] [ I am writing a story where a freak magical accident causes a fully-formed landmass to pop into existence like it was there all along. For the purposes of this question, let's assume: * the continent isn't very large, a bit smaller than Australia * the continent appears shortly southwest of Cape of Good H...
[Question] [ Are there any realistic tissues that could be used in place of muscles in alien carbon-based life? There are some real structures that move without muscles, but they don't seem like potential replacements for muscles. For example, rapid plant movement generally depends on changes in pressure that are far...
[Question] [ Inspired by [this answer](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/a/132757/6620) and the mention of a hyperbolic plane, I've been imagining a world based on that geometry. The closest real-world example of such a geometry I can come up with is hard coral. I've been imagining a planet which *is* a coral, ...
[Question] [ I was reading [this question](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/q/3936/2113) and realized that I didn't actually know enough to give the answer that I wanted. Obviously in the near term, all our raw materials come from the Earth. The only other place we've been is the Moon, and we haven't been the...
[Question] [ I [read recently](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet#Massive_solid_planets_and_giant_planets_with_massive_cores) that metal-rich planetary systems around large (>5 solar masses) O- and B-type stars can form enormous solid planets (potentially bigger than Jupiter) relatively quickly, photoevaporating...
[Question] [ I would like a technology which makes interstellar travel possible but not intergalactic travel. I came up with a rift field which compresses space-time proportional to field density. This rift field density is inversely proportional with energy density. So there will be space-time compression in interst...
[Question] [ Some time after successfully capturing a dragon, nation A goes to war and brings their newest pet with them. For various reasons, the dragon is irreplaceable and they can't afford to lose him plus he has human intelligence, so he'd probably freak out if they sent him into possible death. Thankfully, the ...
[Question] [ Skyway systems are predominately found in cities with cold climates, like the Minneapolis Skyway System: [![Minneapolis Skyway System Representation](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pi4Q.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pi4Q.jpg) But why would a city with a warm climate have a skyway system when it is not nec...

[Question] [ In the world I've built, people and mythological creatures (dwarfs, elves, et cetera) once lived side by side. They fought together, they lived together, they could marry each other and loved each other. Some lived in different places, such as underground or in a forest, however everyone could come to ea...
[Question] [ In the world of *Heroes of Might and Magic* powerful artifacts are a (relatively) common quest reward. And by "powerful" I mean *powerful*, something that can turn a would-be catastrophic defeat into a glorious victory. However, I cannot really make a good justification for such rewards. Why would one ev...
[Question] [ The serra is a large air-breathing fish, about 10m long, with a long serrated crest coming out of its forehead. It is predatory, and lives similarly to a shark. However, it has one unique feature, that being that it often attacks ships by attempting (and if the ship is made of wood, often suceeding) to s...
[Question] [ Okay, so I'm building a world with an empire originally based out of an arid/semi-arid (Sahel type) ecoregion. As the empire expands, it will eventually shift its capital to a more temperate climate, but for now its capital is in a dry savanna. Since the empire is prosperous, the capital is thriving with...

Would it be possible for them to build those railway tracks in such a manner that they * require very little maintenance * can traverse undeveloped la...
[Question] [ In my world, the magic-users have to open small, thin 'holes' in reality to tap into the power from the Realm they are tapping into. As a result, said tears in reality must stay open for them to use their magical powers - no tear, nowhere to draw energy from. My issue is that I'm not sure how to give the...
[Question] [ It is relatively well known that hieroglyphs were not fully translated, or at all for that matter, until a while after the Rosetta Stone was found. It is less well known that the script known as Linear A (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_A>) still hasn't had any of its texts deciphered. # The World ...
[Question] [ Alright, so while coming up with a way for adventurers in my world to obtain dragons, I decided that the drop mechanic system (please see [Preventing Dead Monsters From Spawning Undead](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/195344/preventing-dead-monsters-from-spawning-undead) for more on how...
[Question] [ Inhabitants of another planet (their biology is yet undefined, and if helpful to solving the problem, suggestions can be included in the answer), have a spaceship in which they plan to accelerate to 0.2c over a two earth year period. Technology level is more or less undefined as it's an alien species who...
[Question] [ So in my setting, there's this magical elixir that can essentially turn people into berserkers for a short time. They enter a state of "murder high" where they basically become hardcore sadists, reveling in the pain they cause others, rather than traditional berserkers where they're just too angry to die...
[Question] [ Zombies do **not** exist in my universe, at least as far as my planet's reality, maybe in some other place, but not on BlinketyBlink. My world is very much like Earth, in that different people are at different stages of development. So while on one side of a continent a culture exists that has electrici...
[Question] [ In a world similar to Earth, how can I realistically prevent the industrial revolution from occurring as an event? * I need it to be held off for at least 200 years. * It has to be a cultural reason, not a magical one or an individual one. * The main point of this is to prevent creation of large scale f...
[Question] [ In history, there were multiple theories like the Divine Right of Kings or Mandate of Heaven that stated that royalty weren't normal human beings but blessed by the Almighty himself. In my fantasy world, that claim is verifiably true. The nobility exclusively consist of superhuman beings that are 10 time...
[Question] [ I want to build a world that satirizes the modern *cult of cooking*. The cult has a long list of infractions that will ruin a dish and render it inedible. For example: * Chopping an onion *the wrong way* * Holding the knife *the wrong way* * Using table salt instead of kosher salt * Measuring dry ingredi...

[Question] [ Suddenly, on one of their routine maintenance space missions, NASA or SpaceX (or whoever else) finds a big, clunky piece of metal with some kind of mechanical, crude mechanism and a big mirror with a crack in it, including some wooden parts which appear almost completely burned to coal, orbiting our plan...
[Question] [ I want to create a barrier between two continents in order to use the second continent as an expansion that will be later added on to the game. The world has magic and medieval technology with certain steampunk elements. How could I explain the creation of such a wall without saying: "It's there because ...
[Question] [ My world consists of a relatively narrow strip of land with the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. However, to the north and south are simply grasslands, and maybe the occasionally forest. What would prevent people from simply spreading out and living in these plains? The technology level is...
[Question] [ I am writing a book where the world is split into multiple kingdoms, with each kingdom using a similar magic system to the rest, but using different powers. IE one can control the elements, another does telepathy, another mostly powers associated with the dead, etc. Is there are any way, assuming the wo...
[Question] [ I am building a story where there is a rogue AI. However, that AI was under the governance of **Isaac Asimov's [Three Laws of Robotics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics)**: > > 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. > 2. A r...
[Question] [ I'm writing a roleplaying game scenario set on a space station, and was wondering how the lifts (elevators) would work?

[Question] [ I've been toying with a story of person sent to a alternate reality that mirrors medieval Europe, but not necessarily with identical history/countries. The time traveler would earn the trust/support of the youngest prince, but the prince's father, the king, still suspects him to be a charlatan and distru...
[Question] [ I would like to construct a world where firearm weaponry is known but is only used in large calibre weapons such as gun emplacements protecting cities and large cannons aboard large ships. There are no small arms such as muskets. How might such a situation come about? Is it even a realistic prospect? Ass...
[Question] [ I want to be able to have interplanetary travel very cheap and fast, within minutes. Seeing as planets are light minutes away from each other, I suppose even for fast interplanetary travel the tech in ships would need to be close to light speed or lets just say FTL with some type of jump drive. I do howe...
[Question] [ The title is intentionally provocative, but let me try to justify it. Let's take a common science fiction setup of two interplanetary civilizations with a hand-waved FTL technology that are at war (something involving either warp-bubble or hyperspace so that FTL travel doesn't involve relativistic speeds...
[Question] [ *Background* Humans originate from the Skytree, a tower operated by an impartial AI. On birth, they are sent to their assigned communities, or Communes, where they live out the rest of their lives.

[Question] [ I'd like for a character in a vaguely medieval fantasy to be able to dispense drops of a ink reliably from a [pipette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipette), but I'm not sure whether this is a plausible - the tech level is pre-1500, but it seems that pipettes [weren't invented until the 19th century](ht...
[Question] [ A central component of the cyberpunk genre is the idea of corporations rising to be the dominant power in the world. I'm working with a setting where urban centers are safe because the corps police them, but the countryside is completely lawless because there's no profit in sending security there. So the...
[Question] [ I'm imagining a civilization trying to lower the criminal rate as low as possible in order to become a peaceful place. Suppose the criminal rate of that virtual civilization currently is not awfully high, just low as modern country in Europe. But that civilization wants to do better: lower criminal rate...
[Question] [ Everybody loves the concept of mechs, but there is one big practical problem with them that gets worse the fewer legs they have: [ground pressure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure). tl;dr: big heavy object on two small thin spindly ones isn't very good at not sinking into even the hardest gr...

[Question] [ So basically the elves of the setting have varying appearances depending on the season they're born in, but they're entirely biological and while the setting does have magic I don't want there to be a mystical or magical component to their appearances. For the question's simplicity's sake I'll be focusin...
[Question] [ A common trope with technologically advanced races is the lack of a need for speech.

The best example is a race of sentient robots that have modified themselves over the cou...
[Question] [ I thought about a fictional universe where humans populated most of it.

[Question] [ So, I won't go into all the details, but in a medieval setting, an individual character has discovered a new extension of my world's magic system, where by using an ability that resembles 'telekinesis', she can change the kinetic energy of the molecules of any substance, in order to heat it or cool it.

[Question] [ On TV, witches often wear skimpy, impractical outfits when going into a fight. This is done for fanservice reasons, so I wanted a way to make this sensible.

[Question] [ I'm writing a novel set in a future world where a global famine strikes. The population has just crossed ten billion people.
