I read a book about 10-15 years ago and if I remember correctly the title started with either Red or Blue, but I've been unable to find the rest of the title.
It was about a 'special' guy who invented a way to twist space time into bubbles and then change the size of the bubble with essentially ...
We know that Tom Riddle was obsessed with Immortality and was planning about ever since he was a creepy little boy. If he had the time to meticulously plan for those Horcruxes, why did he not go in search for the three things that could guarantee his immortality and provide him with the power he ...
I remember that once Nearly Headless Nick told Harry that souls find a chance to come back to the world or go the other way (or something like this). Those who choose to come back or have an unfinished business come back. For example, Moaning Mertyl came back as a ghost to haunt those who bullied...
Aliens in a small town wearing human skin , a male and female. Killing the townspeople , I remember a line from the female alien ( think she was blonde) saying something about how they could experiment on creatures below 6 on the beauty scale and humans rated 5 ( she's talking to the hero of the ...
After Doom of Valyria, a century of violence and turmoil engulfed Essos. Volantis, the strongest of the 9 daughters claimed herself to be the successor of the Valyrian Empire and sought to subjugate her sisters by force to revive Valyria.
While initially successful, they were soon facing an al...
The Deathly Hallows as Dumbledore states were actually created by three gifted wizards. And the master of them can defy death. But they are wizard-made and not given by death. Then how can any wizard-made object or spell defy death as Dumbledore states that death cannot be undone by anything?
I was just reading this question - Why did Aegon I Targaryen join the alliance against Volantis?
In one of the answers, and its linked image there is a a strike-through "Sow" replaced with the word "Know".
What is the context of this?
The other day I had remembered and old show/movie that I had watched as a kid that actually gave me nightmares back in the day. I'm fairly certain I watched this about 30 to 35 years ago (so, early 80's).
Unfortunately, I don't know what it was. What I do remember is this:
It was black and wh...
Earth is at war with alien attackers. (I believe most of the conflict takes place in the Jovian system at the time of the story.) Earth has suffered terrible losses, and the alien ships are incredibly difficult to destroy. The most effective human ships are essentially crewed single-shot missi...
The plane was a last resort because enough shielding would be too heavy, so the crew knew they would not survive the mission. I'm thinking the plane might have been a "flying wing" shape
I was reading the timeline of "Discworld" on L-space, and I noticed this at the bottom of the page.
Anyone note the years and their correlation with a certain trilogy of movies?
Which trilogy are they referring to?
Widely considered the first sci-fi book, Somnium was written by astronomer Johannes Kepler around 1608 and was only published in 1634, after his death.
I first heard the claim that the book was used in his mother's witchcraft trial in Astronomy class, and this claim is repeated by APS News:

Which is the preferred way to format references in question and answer texts?I have now seen 3 variations:
[visible text](url)
[visible text][n]
with n being a number and then at the bottom the actual reference:
[n]: URL
[visible text][linkref]
with linkref being a text to the actu...
I am looking for a book I read around 1995 about a school girl who moved to Wales and found a way to travel back in time and then return to the present.
From what I can remember, there may have been something about a box, and possibly a reference to a dragon.
The girl may have gone back in tim...
I recently answered a question and in my answer I linked to an external site. I left the link as is because I think it's fairly descriptive, for example:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
I could have formatted the link as:
WGET for Windows
Or, I could have formatted i...
In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald we have a flashback scene where Leta is travelling on a ship to the US with Irma and her baby brother, Corvus. Across the cabin from them we also have Credence travelling with a woman. I saw no reference to who this woman was in the film.
Who is she?
Recently I heard people claiming that Severus Snape was ultimately a Hero.
I read all the books, and that is not the way I remember it.
Was Severus ultimately a Hero?
First, Iron Fist was canceled after its second season. Luke Cage was likewise canceled after its second season,
Now, Daredevil has been canceled shortly after releasing its third season, which got me thinking:
Will this be the last we'll see of these characters? Can Disney redistribute and con...
I wonder if you can help me out? I'm trying to recall, does any HP Lovecraft story actually feature a private detective/private eye (male or female) as the main protagonist? The answer should be specifically HPL and not any derivative works by other authors/artists.
Possibly Phantom of the Paradise (1974).
One of the taglines was:
He's been maimed and framed, beaten, robbed and mutilated. But they still can't keep him from the woman he loves.
Found with the Google query taglines "from the woman" site:imdb.com.
In Harry Potter, the Unbreakable Vow seems to work like so:
Two people consent to make an Unbreakable Vow (you can't just thrust an Unbreakable vow on someone without them knowing)
One of those people tells the other to do something
That person then must do the thing, or else they will die.
T...
In "The Crimes of Grindelwald", a blood oath prevents Dumbledore and Grindelwald from dueling. However, we know they must have their famous duel in 1945. How can it still happen?
During the climactic scene of Deadpool, our eponymous hero travels to a new location
The setting of the scene looked quite familiar,
Is there any source, official or otherwise (press publication, Twitter status, blog post, etc.), to indicate whether or not that's what it really is? Since D...
