Attenuation of a laser in space? - Worldbuilding Stack Exchange
Given that a laser beam is made up of coherent light waves running in parallel in the same direction, and that space is not a complete vacuum (dust, radiation, electromagnetic forces etc.), what ki...
physics - A world without surface tension - Worldbuilding Stack Exchange
I was wondering: what if a planet (such as earth) suddenly had all surface tension removed (mainly in water, because all carbon based life forms need it.). What would happen?
Hard Sci-fi energy shields - Worldbuilding Stack Exchange
I'm making a fairly hard Sci-Fi story, and I was wondering what the most scientifically plausible 'energy shield' (for ships and stations) would be. My world tries to remain true to basic physics, ...
What's the smallest change to physics required to allow magic?
Magic needn't always violate conservation of energy. So far as the laws of physics are concerned, the energy required to read someone's mind (either for general-purpose telepathy or to work out what card they picked) could be very small indeed, well below what the human metabolism can provide.
physics - No color charged gluons - Worldbuilding Stack Exchange
In an alternate universe all gluons are colorless meaning that no gluons have color charge. How would this affect the color force?
Can you "glitch" physics? - Worldbuilding Stack Exchange
The main exception to this is hardware-level bugs, where the issue is a hardware fault. If you were to try to make the analogy between physics and program code, for there to be 'glitches' in physics, they would have to be there because the laws of physics themselves contain the glitches, not because your character is capable of introducing them.
physics - Plausible Reasons for usage of Combat Mecha - Worldbuilding ...
So, assuming that the technology is readily available and that we could build these mecha as easily as we build modern tanks or planes. What would be a good advantage in using a legged (not necess...
Examples of universes with differents laws of physics
Do you know examples of universes with a different self-consistent physics systems? Not with minor changes, but another set of particles, interactions, with no light/matter/vacuum but other concep...
physics - What would powers based on the four fundamental forces look ...
The four fundamental forces, those being Gravity, Electromagnetics, Strong Nuclear Force and Weak Nuclear force are said to be the forces that hold the universe together and so on. Based on that
If FTL travel was invented tomorrow, would it change society?
Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, these disciplines were born almost overnight and there was a veritable explosion of research, publishing, and general enthusiasm both in the scientific community and the global community at large for physics and the physicists creating it.
