I'm thinking I have discovered a plot mistake here. Spoiler alert for newbies:

I read this story in one of the many anthologies I've had over the years but can't find it. The protagonist is a scientist. Something goes wrong with an experiment and he starts skipping forward through time. It's only when he gets to the death of the last human that time resets and he returns to...

I remembered a scene from a film or TV episode earlier today, where people are remarking that all communications are down, up to and including string telephones. I believe that the medium was in some sort of sci-fi, but I don't recall. Any leads ?

After the Warhammer 40K galaxy has been completely eaten by the Tyranids, consuming 100% of the biomass, I believe that one of the other factions remaining will be Chaos, safe within the Immaterium and the Eye of Terror. They will be greatly weakened by the loss of most of the souls in the galaxy...

Back in elementary school, I read a book about a protagonist who discovers a small skull, another character named Mortimer, and a scene near the climax where a prayer banner was used. The skull had belonged to a man who had been executed and for some reason had shrunk to thimble-size (?). Any c...

Astronauts return to Earth after 800 years in space and sleep stasis abroad a private space ship, the Daedalus - they see the earth is dark. They get a signal says "No Earth" as they get close. There are evolved people on Mars that say they will help but they want the human history files aboard t...

Izumi, Zuko's daughter, who was the current Fire Lord throughout the events of The Legend of Korra: who was her mother? The only named candidates that I am aware of, based on those Zuko was romantically involved with during the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, would be Mai, who was Zuko's g...

It is a Well known fact that the Imperium of Mankind is in a state of technological stagnation. Most of its Galactic machinery is propped up by Technologies, the Working of which no one is fully aware of. Even the Astronomicon Projected by the Golden throne of Terra is under threat due to its mec...

I've been trying to place this story for a while now so hoping someone can help. Setting: Fantasy, various main characters have elemental themed magical abilities (one has fire magic, another water etc) Main plot points: A sleight of hand magician/entertainer is hired to pretend to be a princ...

This very short story was either in Asimov's or Analog. It was written like a mini history lesson. They replaced all books in schools with science fiction and all the kids grew up to be creative problem solvers and all the world's issues were resolved. Anyone know the title or author. Tnx

We, the readers, know Batman has no superpowers. I have no idea if the villains know that. Several superpowered heroes use technology to augment their capabilities, so it is not a wild guess to say that the Bat might have superpowers too. Do the villains know for sure that he has none, or not? ...

I know there are different universe designations for different storylines, such as the MCU cinematic universe, versus the "main" Marvel Universe or the Ultimates comic universe. Since Marvel has published Star Wars comics in the past, do these have their own designation/numerical nomenclature? ...

I remember someone telling me about a book but I can't remember who it was to ask them the name, so I'm hoping someone could identify it. It's a relatively recent book, since they bought it last month from the "bestseller" section in a mainstream bookshop. I'm pretty sure it takes place in our t...

I’m trying to track down a book I read around 50 years ago. Can’t remember author or title. Probably early 50’s vintage. Storyline was a wealthy inventor who flies a large flying machine around the world. Powered by an energy beam from a base station in England. Machine has reception horn on its ...

Have the Vulcans established any colonies outside of their home system, as the humans and other Federation species have? If yes, what are they? If no, why not? This is especially relevant for the Kelvin timeline given that the planet Vulcan was destroyed, and their species would have a much bett...

A book or novel where the spirits of kings and heroes are enshrined in statues. When an enemy approaches, they don't come to life, but the spirits transform common men in heroic soldiers.

Star Trek: The Voyage Home shows us clearly that entering warp speed within Earth's atmosphere has no adverse consequences for the starship and plotting courses are invariably done laissez-faire. I think that a collision has never happened and is also not possible given the technical description...

Short stories, may not have been in the same collection. 1. A moment by moment account of an astronaut as he is the first to travel faster than light. It described how everything slowed down to almost motionless. Deep space station where 1 human is left waiting for the alien to come for trad...

Voyager was willing to abandon Voyager in Eye of The Needle so they could beam themselves onto a Romulan research ship, however when they had access to unlimited labor and space-folding technology in Prime Factors Torres was dismayed that the trajector "will never be compatible with Federation te...

Regarding the tapestry: Anybody else notice that the image of Martin seems to move around some in the books? I believe it starts out in the bottom middle, but in later books it is describes as being (I think) in the botttom right corner. Just one of those niggling things that wander around my m...

How did the Federation of Planets communicate and share digital data during ST:TOS? Did the system have a name or designation?

By the literal translation of the words, anything that is "beyond natural" is supernatural - it does not have a cause or source from natural phenomena or forces. This requires a definition of what is "natural." E.g., if "gravity" was caused by some god instead of gravitons (not yet discovered), h...
