Oh,damn,of course.I blame the beer!

Hi! I've been really busy these (20) days,so,I haven't checked the thread (and haven't missed anything,obviously). I'm here to ask some questions specifically about GRB's(yep,gamma-ray bursts). For one,what would be an approximate minimum distance at which we are safe from one? Also,how...

First,thank you for your post.I've already addressed this question(not knowing what exactly happened,but presenting some theories about it),but,nevertheless,your idea added a bit more to it(another theory),so,thanks. Truth to be told,it's not as much hard to think of an event that will destroy...

Yeah,seems good,but,a black hole would,I guess,give them too little time,eh? EDIT: And,I also want to avoid other (existing in the present) civilizations because I don't want a space opera as a result.

Though -- I forgot to mention.Actually,the civilization is -- as I said,yes,with a hugely higher tech level than ours...BUT: the reason for this is only a recent breakthrough(some 40-60 human years) discovery -- which,yep,you guessed it,helped them vastly improve their technology.Before that --...

Their tech level would be: hugely higher than ours.Devices? Well,a device that can basically store the whole civilization into a virtual world(which is by the way,a prototype -- so,then,a not finished device) -- which is,I know,hugely fictional,but I don't really plan on doing a ultra-hard...

That,I guess,seems cool,though,I doubt they wouldn't discover it until it's too late(?). That's what it's probably going to be.Though,the black hole idea seems very interesting too.It may be a combination of both though( not knowing how it exactly happened,but having this theory that you...

Yeah,certainly a good idea.BUT...to note: I won't really create a big number of species that would live on the planet.In fact,other than the intelligent aliens on the planet,I plan to create a predator,that would be a kind of a...nemesis to the intelligent alien race during the ages when they...

Haha,nope! For that matter,I actually have a weird enough alien -- I just though that,it's a totally different world,so,there is a good chance that most of the creatures will be very different,eh? Though,of course,I could just put same-looking eyes,and just free myself of complications,but just...

So...question incoming: What do you think about different-shaped eyes? No,no,I don't mean different-shaped pupils,but eyes.

While I have to thank you for posting planets you already created,and some of the information about them does give inspiration for other ideas,I got to say,that,as I have mentioned in my previous post,most of it would,in my opinion,be too unrelevant to the plot to mention! Though,the mention of...

Well,what I would need is a very very basic explanation on how do the aliens get energy,really.Nothing complex or complicated,just something that could be put in some 1-3 sentences. Other things I'll need to address: The planet's protection from its host star.On Earth,it is the ozone.On this...

Actually -- I imagined the planet as a...darkish(as I said earlier with the plants being dark to collect more light) with dark-green dots being seen across the lands from Space(that's a...well,special detail :D ),with oceans of brown liquid ammonia(it becomes brownish when it dissolves large...

Good thing,bad thing(or...uhm,neutral thing)? :D Well,if it would be a problem,to be honest,that could very easily change! Well,I don't imagine the planet as an ice ball...but,nevermind -- so a big(ger than Earth) planet isn't a problem,then?

So...according to this,under a pressure of 10 bars(9.86923 atm) ammonia should have a boiling point of 25 C.That should be ample for life,right?
