Grading Tuchanka from Mass Effect on its Scientific Realism
In this video, we will be examining the Krogan homeworld of Tuchanka from the Mass Effect series of games and looking at how realistic it is portrayed. From its lack of natural satellites to its need for a sun shield, we will leave no radioactive rock unturned to uncover its secrets.

Grading Atlas from Alien Worlds on its Scientific Realism

The first planet to be featured in the Netflix original series, Alien Worlds, Atlas is home to a diverse biosphere of airborne creatures. But is the planet as scientifically accurate as it seems? #alienworlds #netflixoriginalseries Atlas’s surface gravity is inarguably the erroneous property, as all other configurations of mass, radius, and surface gravity result in impossible planetary densiti...

I Was Wrong About Pandora (Sorta)
Переглядів 3,4 тис.Рік тому
There is an issue with Pandora's canonical mass, size, and surface gravity. One of them is wrong. But which one is it and how do we know? Also, is Pandora tidally locked to Polyphemus?

A Scientific Analysis of the Genesis Planet From Star Trek
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 роки тому
Terraforming a planet as fast as the Genesis Device is purely science-fiction, but surprisingly, it does have some basis in scientific theory... If you squint really hard. Here I will explore the circumstances of how the Genesis planet formed and rapidly evolved as a habitable planet, as well as attempt to explain its untimely and fiery end.

    I thought the Genesi device didn't create panelts, it simply altered a planet's conditions to be capable of hosting life. The planet would already have to be in the star's habitable zone and be the right size and gravity to host federation species.

    There is a big elephant in the room unanswered in both WOTK & TSFP- The Genesis Device was originally intended for terraforming an existing(i.e. naturally formed) barren planet or moon(eg Mercury or Regula) rather than eating up the Mutara Nebula & USS Reliant and churn it into a brand-new planet, and searching for such a barren planet was the original mission of the Reliant before it got hijacked and later blown up by Khan & Co. Could the absence of a naturally-formed planet as its backbone further contributed to the Genesis Planet's instability and eventually demise?
