No mention is ever made of nanomedicine in Star Wars canon. Is it because bacta can accomplish what nanomedicine can accomplish or could the two exist as different procedures?

I'm looking for the title and author of a short story dealing with two crew members on a spaceship who accidentally get jettisoned (along with several crates of supplies) while traveling near Mars. They reach Phobos and, using the gear found in the crates, assemble a simple re-entry vehicle whic...

It's not The Hundred. The story starts out on another planet (Mars???). Details that I remember: - humans had left earth and gone to another planet after some unnamed Earth apocalypse, thinking no humans remained on Earth - the kids chosen to return to Earth were orphans? - I remember the kids ox...

This is a 60's book. Probably ACE. an Earth TV star fakes launch into orbit as part of his role. He is off on a yacht with a girlfriend. However, he is seen as the most popular person on earth and is kidnapped by aliens. Alien ship appears, sears off his antennae and they take him aboard. They lo...

This story I am sure was in Analog. A confederation of aliens come to earth and are able to break through a force field enclosing earth. The field was put there by aliens since they were not able to break earth's defenses in an older war. Earthlings appear completely non-technological, and the go...

I listened to this on audiobook and it was great. The premise was a human ends up travelling to an alien planet. The aliens have a perimeter to their 'base' that is under constant attack from the planets animals. It is revealed towards the end that there is some sort of signal being transmitted ...

I don't remember much about it, but I believe it involved a girl who goes to an all boys school after her father became the schools head master. She and her friends end up on strange adventures. I know that's super vague but I need to know if my brain made this up or if it's a real show.

In the Alien movies, some form of biomatter enters a human body and then consumes the human's tissue as source material for a new Alien body. We then see the new Alien body run around creating trouble. Is there any indication that the new Alien body retains any memories from the human whose b...

Speed Force is essential part of Flash mythos. But still in DC Animated Universe (DCAU) they avoided it to major extent. Flash didn't even have lightening effect when he runs and Speed Force didn't get name dropped except in Justice League Unlimited S02E12 "Divided We Fall" and didn't get referre...

I don't understand why this character is still alive, I thought he had died in another movie. I thought Logan had killed him. Did they resurrect him? Or is he rescued by someone? I don't know if I'm lost between the movies but there is something I do not understand, because this character comes ...

What can we say about the chronology and genealogy of Erich Zann? Here are the facts I have gathered as being potentially relevant: The Music of Erich Zann [Music] was written in 1921 by Lovecraft and first published in 1922. Lovecraft was around 31 at the time. It takes place in an unknown pa...

Within the Elder Scrolls universe the sun was created by Magnus fleeing creation when he realised the trickery of Lorkhan, the stars being lesser beings escaping with him. Does Nirn now orbit the Sun, or does the Sun move around Nirn?

Many years ago I read a story about an astronaut who comes back home after many years in space. He is very happy to meet his parents, but also worried. After the short meeting the reader finds out that the three of them are clones. I would like to know the name of the story since I can't remember...

Read this when I was a kid - I think it's a pretty famous story probably by Heinlein or someone well-known - it's about a group on a rocket ship sent to begin the colonization of a distant, uninhabited planet. While they are years in cryogenic sleep, technology advances and a faster rocket ship...

In Guardians of the Galaxy, after rescuing Gamora from being killed, Rocket says the following: Asleep for the danger, awake for the money, as per frickin' usual. Do we know of any other time that Groot has been "asleep for the danger"?

Near the end of the film as Ronan's ship, The Dark Aster, crashes to the ground Groot creates a protective cocoon for the rest of the team. It all get's very emotional and Groot says: We are Groot! As far as I was aware all he can say is "I am Groot". How is he able to do this? I've seen...

In this first look on Avengers: Infinity War, we see the actors of Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Peter Quill / Starlord standing right next to each other. Giving this, I would like to know: Did these two ever met in the comics?

Trying to find a book I read a few years ago. The main character was a guy called Spyder who I think was a tattoo artist, meets a girl at a bar, gets into a fight and I think he sees some weird stuff. Anyway somehow ends up in some fantasy place. All a bit weird.

A UFO crashes. Military guards it. An alien comes. We see from its point of view as it approaches a guard, who is shooting at it with an auto weapon, but in vain. Some bright flashes, and the soldier collapses. Another scene, same point of view. The alien enters a house at night, approaches a sl...

I have an idea about a story set in the TRAPPIST-1 system. In particular, the main topic is about the three planets in the habitable zone. Now, I am not a writer, but I think I would really like to try and write this down. I love the idea (that, obviously, I cannot share here). Has anyone writte...

Ok, this is vague yet vivid for me. An 80s or 90s film with people that either have a colored crystal (blue, yellow, and maybe red or purple,) that I believe determines what "class" they are. I think they are engineered. I remember one scene they are going through a desert in a sand storm, riding...
