I saw this in the late 80s, so it's not newer than that. All I can remember is that this train went to different planets, and then the train had to leave by a certain time, otherwise everyone would turn to stone.

Well, the question is practically self-explanatory, but still, I will elaborate. The Borg queen says in Voyager, that she herself came from species 129, which means, she must not have been the first, or she would have called her species as species 1 (or even species 0, like unimatrix 0) assuming ...

I read this one long ago, probably more than 20 years. I’m not sure whether it was a short story or one component of a novelette or a novella.

New poster here, so any feedback is appreciated. In Project Hail Mary, it's stated that the Eridians don't know about radiation, and they are very susceptible to cancer because of it. However, on Earth, radiation doesn't just come from space, it comes from the ground, too. How come the Eridians w...

This is going to be a tough one. I read this book as a preteen and I distinctly remember it being uncomfortable and inappropriate for my reading age. It was a fantasy book involving a young male protagonist who is transported to another world (possibly through a portal on a beach). In this world,...

So i (me) always wonder (thinking) about; this and (i) needed; so i though; maybe this is the right question (to ask) and helping many people in the world who want (to know); and i had no idea; so; it is too realistic? how? and is it the real life; how do they inreal life?

In S02E08 of The Dragon Prince, Viren searches some ancient texts for information about an individual or entity that he met. The first text that he consults appears appears to be written in Arabic, or perhaps in another language that uses a similar script, such as Farsi or Urdu. Another text appe...
