Somewhere between April 21, 2016, and late August, 2017
Throughout the movie, there are several elements that can be dated. Some of them definite (give or take a week), some of them speculate a bit. But here goes, by order of appearance. (which is also the order of interestingness - but if you o...

I flagged the answer left in this case, but the answer has now been deleted and the user left behind. And more generally is there a better way of doing this?

I remember a book from my childhood (i.e. probably at least 20-30 years old) that was an encyclopedia of imagined near-future spacecraft. It was written as if those craft existed.
This wasn't a work of prose, it was a hardback book in the style of an encyclopedia with lots of illustrations. It c...

Along similar lines to Stack Exchange Usercard Squeezer™ on profile page long code blocks in the "About me" section push the right side content off of the screen. See this user.
And it's more pronounced effect on SFF.
Also bad on SO.
At the end of Maleficent, it's revealed that that version of events is the true version of events, so that means that the original Sleeping Beauty (made by Disney) is false. So who spread the false one? Those still loyal to King Stefan and his mad ways?

In the third year, students were able to select from a more diverse list of courses. As a result, not all students shared the same curriculum.
For example, Harry added only Divination and Care of Magical Creatures from the previous year.
Most important of all, he had to buy his new...0

As say in the title, what happens if two laser gun beams meet?
Do they cross? Do they ricochet? Do they cancel each other out?
It was a TV Series about a boy during a war/conflict.
In the intro we see how his grandfather (his only family) dies beacause of the conflict and he is left alone. Some good guys (boy and girl, I think) find him and take him with them.
I got the feeling that the intro was very sad.
Also it r...
Hello I am looking for the title/author of a short story that has a student saying "aluminium" and his professor chastising him for using too many syllables. He threatens to fail the kid unless he can answer one question. The professor says, "I am thinking of an element. What is it?" The kid ...
Disclaimer: I'm no artist, as you'll see later on, so this will mainly be a post of ideas rather than any proof of concept.
The theme should keep as close to the old one as possible. This means make the side bars black and have the star field back again. However, to satisfy the need for the l...0
I know from Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) and Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) that the rectenna (rectifying antenna) of the Millennium Falcon were snapped off on two occasions: When she traveled the Kessel Run and during the Battle of Endor. But, was this round, military-grade ...
I just stumbled upon this video on YouTube:
Unfortunately, there's no end credit or anything suggesting who made this awesome video. The video title and description are generic.
The quality is professional and from the looks of the story (like chasing school bu...

There are only three unforgivable curses that are punishable. It seems that all the other spells can be freely used in any situation (until someone actually killed I guess). There seem to be no regulation for such spells as Stupefy, Levicorpus or Petrificus Totalus on a fellow human.

I vaguely remember watching a movie in primary school I watched it in p7 to be specific. so I would have been 11 meaning the movie would have been pre-2000. possibly pre-1990 but i would say not pre-1980. basing this on the special effects.
I know we watched two movies. One including the Bermuda...
In Avengers we see many of the Avengers find/work out where Loki's portal machine is being set up:
But we don't see Thor find out from anyone else, is it ever revealed how he knows to head for New York after he gets out of the falling cage?

I think I read this about 13-15 years ago, around 2002-2005, having learned of it online. The protagonist was male, I think of Japanese descent. He was always on the move, either breaking into a building to sleep, or picking up a girl at a bar to have a place to sleep. The book opened with him sl...
So yeah, question in the title. But to further it, I was wondering how plausible it'd be.
Would it make more for Hard sci-fi, or Soft sci-fi? And could it ever be possible to control forces like that from a distance?

In the anime Crest of the Stars, interstellar ships go through a dimension called 'plane space' to achieve FTL speeds and travel between stars in a reasonable time.
The 'sords', the entries into Plane Space, are roughly organized following the shape of the Milky Way. It was mentioned in one of t...

All of a sudden aliens attack them and slaughter most of them except a few that escape on a special spaceship to leave the slaughter. The birds end up crashing on a water planet and all get killed except...
