Are those calories or kilocalories? Our food is actually measured in kilocalories, but we have shortened it to calories which can be quite confusing. A million calories is actually just a meal at McDonalds.

So this is a very difficult problem for two reasons. The distance to the horizon is different based on you latitude (distance north or south from equator), and two, because the earth spins at a different relative rate based on latitude so the answer is different based on your location. It spins...

How has race affected the relationship, whether platonic or romantic, between characters in stories you have read or in your own stories? How a character feels about another character is certainly a spectrum of possibilities that is affected by several factors, but how race, whether different in...

I wrote in another thread about energy cost/gains in relation to thermodynamics I mention in paragraph 3 that heating things up requires putting in energy into materials while cooling things down requires taking away energy. This could explain drawing energy from the surroundings to be used...

My thoughts are that each "spirit egg" has one unique child selected by the parents. It is more of a possession process in this case, but sense the subjects are children their personalities wouldn't be affected to much, for they lack a developed personality (I am arguing here that human...

I did some more research and the Corax means of reproduction seems to be what I was looking for as a bit of backbone. I was thinking of using auras as the basis for all magic, so I think I could have the process work by linking the personal aura of the desired unborn child and the "spirit egg."

I am working on a project and in this story there is a race that is unable to reproduce with certainty. Most children are still-born if conception even occurred. So to ensure survival, the race kidnaps human newborns and transforms the human babies. the race is human in many characteristic, so I...

In order to have an ice ring the planet must rotate along the axis which points at the two suns. This is to say the north pole would point at one of the suns and the south pole points toward the other. Rotation is still possible, because the sum of forces from the suns is equal, so no change in...

Pyrokinesis would have interesting applications in physical state manipulation. From a physical standpoint, we would be looking at the internal energy of material which is just the friction between molecules, or the concept of specific heat, or the energy required to raise an mass of material 1...

Tangent: It has been grazed before, but the idea of Good vs. Evil is actually new in terms of humanity's existence. When deciding the religious ideology of a culture, it is important to remember their are other perspectives. Order vs. Chaos was one of the most common forms of religious conflict...

What a nice gem MS is right? I've been looking for a community for awhile, but couldn't really seem to find an active and inviting group. I hope yall prove otherwise. Anyways, I am terrible with introductions, but hello, I am student studying Computer Science. I have been always enjoyed writing...
