I was watching the star destroyer flythrough and noticed these odd symbols all over the corridors. What are they?

The bomb (or more accurately a mine) named Iglatha was left on Earth by an ancient civilization. It was long dormant, but awakened in 1945 following the atomic bomb tests. Further misguided actions caused the bomb to explode, causing destruction of humanity.

I would say that it was in the second movie where it is really clear that the producers envisaged people who were already outlaws (or borderline) as becoming the de facto leaders of future society such as it is. This makes a lot of sense and I can think of countless subsequent films where it is b...

I'm searching for a short story about a time in humanity's future when we are able to prove that reincarnation does occur naturally, and a newborn can be scanned to find out who they were in previous lives. From what I remember the story is mostly around the problems that arise when that belief i...

Looking for a novel, who’s title I thought was ‘Barnard’s Star’, but the hits with this name didn’t seem to fit. The novel is about an expedition to a star (could still be Barnard’s).

Would it make any sense for a post apocalyptic city to make their own hydroelectric power source using a waterfall to make power. Or is that not at all how it works?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but I was rewatching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and really wondered why you can clearly see two passageways leading to the chamber with the mirror. Any thoughts?

I came across this quote I don’t see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. In the context I saw it used, it was clearly a quotation of someone else, but unattributed. I searched for it to find the source, and while any number of pages will tell me it’s from Heinlein, absolu...

The story is about a chemical that extremely heightened the sense of smell and as a result many people died. Life is impossible without the use of nose-plugs. The hero found out that a person intentionally caused it ans started to kill him.

The book describes a society on Earth that is based on zealous religion. (This stems from a conflict in which the "church" has to explain how there could be life on other planets) The main character joins a team set to explore ocean underneath ice on a moon orbiting a planet in the solar syste...
