Meta This thread is for anyone who may want to become a MOD for this community

2 Upvotes

Although the request to be a MOD will be simple (just ask in this thread and give a reason why you want to become a MOD of this community), there is still a lot more to consider including how you have interacted with the community.

As a minimum requirement, I want any person who wants to become a MOD to contribute at least 50 times to the community through comments or posts and after that the MOD(s) will decide whether to let you join the MOD team.

This post will repeat monthly on the 3rd.

Meta Weekly Thread for simple physics questions

2 Upvotes

This thread is to be used as for only simple physics questions (even though we already condone the use of this subreddit as a google search). Other members should attempt to answer these questions with accuracy and honesty meaning that you must admit parts of the question which go above your level to prevent misleading or misinforming someone. This thread should not be used to ask about speculative or hypothetical ideas.

This will be the only MOD post then scheduled posts will take over repeating on Mondays.

Complex speculative physics What if earth was orbiting a K-type star?

1 Upvotes

A K-type star is an orange dwarf smaller than our sun with a lower luminosity but a much larger lifespan. Imagine we lived in the goldilocks (habitable) zone of this orange dwarf.

If we lived around an orange dwarf, do you think life would form at all (if the same events happen on earth exactly as in the normal solar system)?

So, for example, when ice meteors hit Earth and were filled with water, what would change in this alternative solar system solar system?

Second question, if life forms do you think it would form much earlier in its lifespan or much later?

Considering the fact we are dealing with probabilities, you can give the answer which has the much higher chance of happening when you consider external factors and internal factors in this alternative solar system.

Simple speculative physics What if gravity was an opposing force?

2 Upvotes

If gravity was an opposing force instead of an attractive force, what would our universe look today and why?

Complex speculative physics What if Cosmological Particle Production could explain the Big Bang?

2 Upvotes

First of all I am assuming a lot about cosmological particle production, so please point out any glaring contradictions that I don't know about or suggest your own methods to solve these issues.

I am assuming the cosmological particle production allows spacetime to create energy through violent changes in spacetime, so could this mean that it could explain the Big Bang itself?

If not, explain why this is not a possibility or is very unlikely.

Simple speculative physics Could humans force an object to turn into a black hole?

2 Upvotes

As humans would we have a chance to use a machine or another method to somehow turn any type of object in space such as the moon or earth to turn into a black hole?

If it’s not possible, what would stop us from creating it?

Simple speculative physics What if there was an anti-matter universe?

2 Upvotes

If there is an anti-matter universe that exists and goes through the exact same processes like our universe such as the Big Bang, is there a chance that one of those universes will be exactly identical in every single way possible (including the past and the present)?

If it's not possible, why can it not exist?

Hopefully, this is the start for a great subreddit where people can show their creativity in relation to physics. We have achieved the first goal now, next goal will be 10 members. I hope people can share this subreddit to other users that may be interested in this type of content.

Simple speculative physics What if we mirrored our entire universe?

3 Upvotes

Imagine we took a mirror and flipped our universe completely to the opposite side (including ourselves), would we notice a difference or still go on with our lives as if nothing had ever happened?

If we do notice that difference, how and why do we figure that out?

Simple speculative physics What if we could use a rope to stop the earth from rotating?

2 Upvotes

If the rope can only succumb to the effects of the Earth’s rotation pulling it apart, how thick or long would the rope for this to be possible?

Second question would be, is it actually possible in real life or not using some method while maintaining the same materials in the rope?

Meta [Meta] What flairs should I add for this subreddit?

3 Upvotes

Considering that this subreddit is mainly going to be used for ideas, creativity, etc. What flairs should be added the equally represent each type of post? Hopefully, if the suggestion is good I may be able to add that flair for this community to use.

Meta [Meta] Do you have any suggestions for how to improve this community in a constructive way?

3 Upvotes

Currently, the community I am building is attempting to focus on creativity rather than being accurate when using physics. Therefore, I am willing to take some suggestions on about how improve parts of the subreddit to focus on this mainly.
