J.K. Rowling could have chosen any nonnegative integers {n,p,q} for {p,q} being relatively prime, p<q and q not equaling 0, for platform n p/q (she could have technically chosen a nonnegative irrational number, but let's forget that idea for now). So why did she choose n=9, p=3, and q=4? I have n...

In Neal Asher's Polity universe, humans and AI experiment with Jain technology, usually with devastatingly bad results. Have the Prador ever experimented with Jain tech? And in which books?

I am seeking for the name of cartoon. I don't known exactly about plot because I had only one episode from VHS. But I remember some things. Style of animation was classic 2D with very realistic drawn. Not much like other cartoons of this era. Drawn was similar to Perfect Blue (1997) anime but in ...

I saw a movie a couple years ago in which a person puts a poison in all the drugs and the main characters have to infiltrate a facility to stop them. All I remember is a shot in which the camera shows a football stadium filled with cages with infected people within.

This was most likely somewhere between 2005 and 2010, and I saw it on a local TV station that licensed it (as the channel was in my native language but the show was in english).I realise the title is a bit vague, but that's because I only really remember three scenes: Atop a cliff the main chara...

This is a very funny story. Aliens visit a village, but nobody believes that they are aliens. It was written by a very famous sci-fi writer. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the author and the story.

In the classic novel On the Beach (1957, p. 178), Nevil Shute has two of his characters visit the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne (Australia). They turned from the exhibition. "Are you interested in paintings?" she asked. "Or are they just a bore?" "They're not a bore," he said. "I lik...

There was an extensive fight scene involving this drawbridge and castle. I believe that there were also horses and ? goblins (maybe zombies???, or an opposing ...

I saw this show in France in the late 70s. I believe it was in black an white so it may have originated in the 60s. As far as I recall this was a short story. It had the same feeling as the twilight zone and it could possibly be a part of it. The story takes place with scientists in some kind of ...
