@Shalvenay Ummmm... licks finger. puts finger in the air It wouldn't? Wait. Bother air currents... Ummm.... They'd be able to do it with some not-tiny-but-not-massive amount of practise?

@Mithrandir24601 hrm...yeah. probably would need more space to takeoff/land, I reckon

trying to yank themselves into the air with their wings wouldn't work quite so well

@Shalvenay I'll take your word for it - I really haven't got a clue how easy it is to take off/land in such an airport

@Mithrandir24601 quite a bit harder (it's why Denver has such long runways, for instance)

Hi there.

Nobody?

hey there @Physicist137

Hi! So.. I wanted to ask something, but I don't know if it is on topic or not.. so... I figured it would be best to ask here first.

@Physicist137 shoot

I wanted to know about construction of possible physics/theory of subspace/hyperspace (and other stuff like that). Basically a question that people would construct the underlying physics of.

Though I have a distinct feeling it would be off-topic..

Seems to me like a constructive subjective question. Constructive, meaning, on-topic. Subjective, meaning, off-topic. So.....

Is it on or off topic?

hrm. we'd need more details I'd think

What details?

hrm, how you structure the question?

Ah.

That requires some effort to answer :(. But basically, I would simply ask, inserting some constraints, and putting notes that would indicate the answer I would prefer, and how I'll choose the best answer.

I think I'll just not ask. It is easier and simpler. And it is preferable than spending 1hr of my time writing what a consider to be a 'good question', just to get it closed, like it happened sometimes.

Anyway.. thanks for your help. :).

@JDługosz Yes. Yes. A stray apostrophy.

hey again @Green

@Physicist137 Chat is a good way to get some quick feedback, but if you ever have a draft ready and are unsure you could check out our Sandbox on Meta to get some feedback and refining the draft before you post it on the Main Site.

@Physicist137 To answer this kind of question completely is absurdly hard. Occasionally, someone will ask questions like "what happens if I remove conservation of momentum from physics". The question are answered either in the broadest/abstract terms or is closed for being too broad. What is often missed is how colossally interconnected everything is.
