I am looking for a few manga that I can't remember the name of. In the first one, there were four kids who were transported to another world and powers were given to them from these sacred beast guys, like one was a white tiger that could control lightning, another was this panther with wings tha...

E-book, probably read in the last year or two. Probably written in the last 10 years. Seemed to be first in a series. A comet or small asteroid is reported to be making a near miss to Earth. But as the time draws near, its changed to reporting it was actually going to hit all along. Story is told...

In a scene in David Lynch's Dune, Duke Leto and Paul take an aircraft to observe a spice harvester in action. When a sandworm is en-route to attack the harvester, Duke Leto takes his aircraft down to evacuate the harvester, as the carry-all which dropped it off in the first place is nowhere aroun...

I need some ideas about sci-fi energy sources in the future. One idea is dropping nuclear bombs in the middle of the ocean and then collecting energy from ensuing waves. Has anyone done to math to know if this will result in net energy production?

Think it was an early British Sci Fi serial (or perhaps a one off) from the late 1960's (or more probably) early-mid 1960's, may have been in black and white but possibly colour. What I remember most is at the end where a group of scientists (at least one man and one woman) trying to leave and bl...

We learn that this is really a trap, and the Emperor is conspiring with Baron Harkonnen - the current fief ruler - to eliminate House Atreides once on Arrakis. We also learn th...

I am in the middle of the 3rd Dune book. I do not understand how the Lady Jessica/Gurney knew that Leto II will go to the desert, the time and location. I may guess that the Lady Jessica deducted it after discussion with Ghanima and communicated with Gurney, but maybe it was already known to her ...

Almost every religion has a sacred text that is used to store their most sacred beliefs, eg- the Bible, Torah, Qur’an, etc. So far I have not been able to find references to any religious texts that the imperial religion of Warhammer has, having looked on the lexicanum, which I find hard to belie...

More than 10 years ago, I saw a movie about a daughter who is possessed by her mother's ghost. It was probably a TV movie. I believe at the time I saw it, I heard it was a remake of a Japanese movie. I remember the mother, in her daughter's body, complaining to her husband about her teenage hormo...

What are the in-universe reasons that 'Mechs are used for galactic warfare in Battletech/MechWarrior instead of tanks and aircraft? In the real world, it seems that tanks and aircraft would be preferred due to their lower cost. Theories I've anecdotally heard include: An aversion away from weapo...
