Q: Does the Force travel through space-time?

CharlesIf I were a Force user and were to cast a Force push targeted at another person standing so far away, would they have the ability to dodge it or would the person, no matter how fast they reacted, still be affected and hit by it? To put in a crude manner: does the Force behave the same way that a...

Q: Sci fi book, humanoids bossed around by aliens

DannyMcGThere is very little I remember about this book, I read it maybe thirty years ago. I think - There was a human sphere of space surrounded by a more advanced alien race, slowly over many years the aliens were encroaching into the human sphere and taking over star systems and basically enslaving t...

Q: Harry Potter fanfiction where he is betrayed and placed in Azkaban but replaces himself with a fake

Vk1234 I’m trying to find a fanfic I read years ago. Harry is betrayed and sentenced to Azkaban. But he replaces himself with a fake. Harry has a special power. Hermione also has a similar power. Only Harry can teach Hermione about her power. Harry changes his name and teaches at Hogwarts.

Q: How does the Intrepid class purge baryon particles?

GalacticCriminalDue to the fact that Intrepid class starship utilizes neural gel packs, would a baryon sweep damage them? If so, how would they purge baryon particles?

Q: Are the visual/auditory/sensory thoughts we have in our mind real?

CuriousMind9According to physics, I think we define anything as real if it interacts with us. According to biology, I think we define anything as real if we can perceive it through our senses. The thoughts we have in our mind could be a visual imagery. For instance, just a reproduction of image of a real wor...

Q: Cartoon with a girl who used boots to help her walk as she couldn't

millyI have been looking for this show for years now. It was a cartoon and was definitely on Netflix in 2009 or 2010. I remember there was a girl who I think was named Kira and her color was like aqua; she had an older brother whose color was red. Her legs didn't work so she had these boots that would...

 
@Marvin So, the boots were made for walking?
 
@JackBNimble I wonder if that's just what they did?
 
One of these days, those boots are going to walk all over you.

Q: What happened to the Borg ship that attacked the outposts in the neutral zone?

user76329We know that the Borg were already right by the federation and Romulan space in the episode called “The neutral zone” in season 1. I know changes were made to the Borg later due to the writers strike, but was there any mention of where that Borg ship was after that? Did it return to Borg space? ...

 
@Marvin Hmm. The first paragraph of that question (before I added a bit of context and formatting) was copied verbatim from the episode description on Memory Alpha. Should I revert my edit and instead mark it as a quote, providing attribution instead?
 
Providing attribution would be good.
 
@DavidW If it was quite literally a copy/paste, yes
Also @DavidW it wants the tag
 
It most certainly was. I'll fix it.
@TheLethalCarrot Duh, of course. Thanks.
 
@user58 More than good, it's necessary
 
3:45 PM
Yeah, I was understating.
 
Fair nuff
 
There, that's better. Thank you.

> Following the runaway Rio Grande
Surely they mean Runabout, which the name of that class of ship.
oh, wait, it is a runaway ship.
Now I want it to say the runaway runabout
 
@JackBNimble Right? :) (Un)fortunately it's a quote now, so it's not something I have to worry about "fixing"...
 
just put [Runabout] between runaway and Rio Grande
if you put in the [] it makes all your changes okay.
 
4:16 PM
> if you put in the [] it makes all your [superfluous, pedantic] changes okay.
 
4:27 PM
That is the rule.
I think I once had an answer where I quoted something in an image, and then put a [,] to insert an Oxford comma, which is the only appropriate way to comma lists.

Q: Scientists tricked into inventing antigravity story?

JayessellA short story I read somewhere, possibly Analog Magazine. The US government assembles a team of Scientists to reverse engineer a wrecked antigravity backpack. The word 'noise' is in the title. It turns out the film of it working was faked. The government thought that there was no progress in anti...

Q: In scientific reality could a region of space like the Badlands exist?

GalacticCriminalIn scientific reality could a region of space like the Badlands actually exist? I'm far from an astronomy expert, but wouldn't a dense collection of debris like in the Badlands; would be gravitationally unstable and would rapidly collapse into stars, planets, or planetisimals?

Q: What if Beren had managed to cut all three Silmarils from Morgoth's crown?

AcridFrom The Silmarillion: As a dead beast Beren lay upon the ground; but Lúthien touching him with her hand aroused him, and he cast aside the wolf-hame. Then he drew forth the knife Angrist; and from the iron claws that held it he cut a Silmaril. As he closed it in his hand, the radiance w...

Q: Movie from 70's or earlier about a genetically created organizism that almost took over an island

MivaScottIt was an older movie I watched on TV in the US, probably around mid-80s, but the movie was obviously much older. It had the same cinematic feel as as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". A creature was created in a lab (I think on accident). It was shaped like a fried egg (mostly flat with a hump ...

Q: What was so special about the Eureka phones?

CBredlowIn Eureka we see that in the beginning of the series they have small 'advanced' (at the time) phones. However, as the show moved on, the real world experienced the smart phone revolution. Why didn't Eureka top this by having 'smarter' phones? Did the production team ever comment on why the pho...

Q: 90s live action TV show about college kids who become fighting robots in a virtual reality

BridgeburnersThis TV show was somewhat a ripoff of Power Rangers, in that the kids go into giant robots that fight, and those robots can merge together into a giant super-robot. It seemed like a competitor. Like Power Rangers, it was an ordinary cable show, but I don't remember which network. The kids lived ...

Q: Who made the Infinity Stones?

MorganThe Infinity Stones it is said were made when the universe was made. There are at least two entities that could have performed such a feat; The One-Above-All and the Living Tribunal. Both of whom can and do create universes or multiverses and both predate the universe. The stones are very specifi...

Q: TV/Movies: Did a captain ever call a battle-stations drill because he anticipated an ambush/trap?

HarperI'm wondering about cases where a starship captain or other person responsible for calling drills suspected an ambush or trap. So they decided "right now would be a good time to do a drill on battle stations", which had the effect of raising the ship to full alert. As a result they were ready w...

Q: What is the origin of the name “Fizzle Bomber” in Predestination?

OublietteMuch of the film Predestination centers around a character called the “Fizzle Bomber”. Why is this character named this way? They may have mentioned it in the film but I cannot recall. I have my own theory but it’s not really based on anything.

Q: Are Vessels in Star Trek able to travel at speeds between 0.25x and 1.0x the speed of light?

user1282931based on what I recall, full impulse is 0.25c and warp 1 is 1.0c. Are ships in the Star Trek universe capable of traveling at speeds that span that interval? If so, how and what do they call it?

Q: When did this happen in a TV/movie?

HarperValorum see comment. This is an "Identify that TV/movie" question which I believe is still on-topic here. I'm wondering about a case where A starship captain (or other person responsible for calling routine drills) calls a red alert/battle stations etc. for no apparent reason. Actually, he...
