My question is why is it assumed that SGU star gates the oldest design gate? I am aware of off handed comments made by the creator of the series and of the comic adaptation of it but if you go with the 60000000 years they claim the math doesn’t work right to be within the confines of the known un...

I read this book in middle school around 2013 maybe, about a 12-14 year old boy, (Boy A) who meets (Boy B) after somehow making a table flip with his mind in the cafeteria; (Boy B) tells him that he has some kind of powers and there's a facility with other kids like him who use some kind of chip ...

This is very vague and you probably won’t know but I vaguely remembered a book series that had 3 books(I think) in one of the books the mc goes on a road trip and sees himself in the woods, in another one of the books he sees ancient pyramids.the book cover is also similar to “The last kids on ea...

YA science fiction. I read this in the mid-late 1990s. I do not know when it was written. The story is about a young girl who wakes up from stasis on a planet. I dont remember if the ship had crashed or landed there, but she is the only one woken up. The rest of the crew is alive and wakes at the...

In the film "A New Hope", Ben Kenobi promises to pay Han Solo "2,000 now" for passage to Alderaan. In order to pay this, he tells Luke to sell his speeder. I assume both Luke and Ben have some modest savings. And, perhaps, they borrowed some credits from someone. But is it ever stated - or is it ...

I'm looking for a novel I read a year or so ago where the main character was injured. When the apocalypse began, monsters spawned and people got special powers. MC's main power was ice. MC used knowledge from the future to use crystals from the bodies of the monsters to power up while protecting ...

I'm asking this question about a movie here because I firmly believe it was dramatised from a book using a well known literary character. I want to identify the book so I can read it. The movie: This is an old, probably french, classic black and white film (possibly italian co-production?). The p...

It starts out with us finding out the main character has superpowers because he can hear his neighbours' kettle going off and various other things that he shouldn't be able to hear. He finds out his parents used to be in an Avengers-like team but something happened that caused them to all lose th...

In season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, we are introduced to the Bendu - a powerful and ancient Force-wielding entity that lives on the planet Atollon where the Ghost's crew and the rest of Phoenix Squadron have set up Chopper Base. At one point, the Bendu, speaking with Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger, m...

I read this around 1981, in the US, in English, in paperback most likely. I feel like it dated to the 50, 60s or early 70s at the latest. The only scene I remember is: A man (the protagonist, I believe) watches an alien creature, who I think was somewhat caterpillar-like, use a machine to manip...

There's also this alien they can ask a question every time they complete stuff for him. Like saving a village. Also another task is in the "real" current Japan. The boy gets a girl out of a bathroom where he thought she was being bullied, but was getting picked on for posting pic on her blog or s...

The Wizarding World in Harry Potter is a vast place with magic, monsters, and evil-doers. There are spells to do just about anything, from cooking and cleaning to doing schoolwork, or from committing acts of evil; all kinds of things. Where did the magic originate? And why do Wizards only control...

Looking for the title of a book. A spaceship malfunction results in an individual being turned inside out with their organs now on the outside of their body. They are still alive, for a moment. This is a vague starting point, as there are many similar stories of horrific ways to die in space of...

Looking for the title of a book where a small number of people (5-10) are passengers on a space ship that constitutes a time traveling MacGuffin. They travel in P-space (may have the wrong name, as I was unsuccessful using Google with this term) which allows them to move forward in time by slowi...

I’ve seen a lot of questions regarding why isn’t there a guard on lightsabers, but none of them (nor the answers) I’ve seen tackle on the subject of the lightsabers weak spot (at least in my mind, I may be mistaken). When two jedi/sith are in a duel, often times they not only hit each other, but ...

Just curious has anyone calculated the speed of the x303 with its original hyperdrive in the episode Prometheus.
