Well there's my example in my original post. We come across a lower mass body being orbited by a higher mass body. I can make it more bizarre and say its orbital path is quadrilateral. Really just any observed phenomenon that doesn't at all fit into any current framework. Another example, I...

So it is actually possible to verify a supernatural phenomenon and not be stuck indefinitely looking for ways to modify current theories?

I'm familiar with some of those. What if after an immense amount of time and research, we never put a dent in modifying the theories to account for the observed phenomenon? Could we eventually conclude that the phenomenon is indeed supernatural, and that there's nothing wrong with our...

I don't think it does. I guess what I'm asking is can a physical law actually be violated or not be obeyed by a particular phenomenon.

Or would any apparent supernatural phenomenon ultimately be boiled down to natural laws that we just don't understand yet? By definition, a supernatural phenomenon doesn't obey natural laws, or a certain subset of natural laws. Like say for instance, we observer a large star orbiting a small...

It's a sci-fi miniseries created by Alex Garland (the same guy who made Ex Machina, Annihilation, 28 Days Later and a few other movies) that premiered on Hulu a month or so back. One of the shows main premise revolves around this secret quantum computing technology that can make extremely...

Bruce Lee: "Boards don't hit back!" Isaac Newton: "Am I a joke to you?"

Under other sciences, I noticed there's no psychology or sociology subforum. Aren't these branches of science?

But were there 10.0 earthquakes during the Permian extinction?

What about The Great Dying (Permian-Triassic extinction event)?

How would the apparatus generating the magnetic field be situated? Would it be a structure inside the core, throughout the surface, or something in orbit of the planet? Or all the above?

I'm surprised I got more replies to this thread. I really appreciate it! I guess I'll take the opportunity to ask more questions. I saw magnetic fields mentioned and how it pertains to having a smaller core, which would cause issues. What about an artificial magnetic field, and the planet it...

How deep would the ocean be compared to real-life Earth? And is it downright impossible to have continents, or just very unlikely? What about a few islands or one small continent? Also, this is kind of a separate question from what I said in the OP, but what about an artificial planet created...

I mean 2x the geometric surface area (whether it's land or ocean). i.e. The radius is some multiple of Earth's such that the surface area is double of Earth's. But the surface gravity is roughly 1g.

How feasible is such a planet? Can the planet still be dense enough to be rocky and not gaseous?
