Realistic Calculations for Science Fiction Writing

I'm here because I enjoy writing. Unfortunately, I like to be very precise with what I create. This means that if I'm writing a story about people from Earth relocating to another planet, I'm going to calculate every measurement I can for realism's sake. At the very least, it gives me an advantage for when I'll take Physics next year! I'm in 10th grade, so I need a bit of help with the math because I'm still in Chemistry and I have almost no idea of what I'm doing.

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
