I m having some trouble visualizing and understanding the Earth s ecliptic. Can somebody please tell me, in detail, what the separate parts of this gif represent? Thank you! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3...

Hello!

I was wondering—theoretically, of course—what physical properties the world might have had at its conception that would be altered—or completely different—today? What was the magnetic field like? What sort of atmosphere was it? What were the climates like (especially in northeastern North America).

Why I’m asking these things, is I’m writing a novel (I know—how original of me). The main idea is that the world is on a continuous loop, and “restarts” every couple hundred years or so. Said loop is unknown to human consciousness until my main character comes along (a genius, of course) and mathematically proves that the world “ended” four years ago. What she doesn’t know, is that the world actually restarted itself for another cycle of life.

So, what I would really like to know, is if there was anything particularly distinguished about the earth and atmosphere when everything first started? If so, would it be greatly noticeable, or a small enough change that not many people (excepting my perceptive main character) would be able to catch on? Also, do you have any idea of how to mathematically (or scientifically) prove that the "end" of the world had already occurred? How would one go and experiment with that?

Thank you for any assistance. I could truly use it.

I am directing (and acting, and partially composing/selecting background music for scenes) a webseries in--prospectively--late November. The series is semi-science fiction (although it leans heavily on the neurological and sciencey side than the outer-space/aliens side). It will be approximately 12-20 episodes, probably pretty dark, atmospherically. There won't be many--or any, as far as I've predicted--action scenes. There will be arguments and such, but not any battle-to-the-death scenarios.

What I was wondering is: What kind of music should I be aiming for? I was thinking classical is always a good route to go, but I just don't know. The music has to be in the background of the scene for most of the time. I don't have any experience with making background music while people are talking.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello! I am writing a screenplay (that's due tomorrow, by the by), and I've stumbled across a part where my two main characters need to resolve a paradox or two. I keep coming up with really stupid explanations and can't seem to get past something like a seance (which I most certainly do *not* want happening, it just doesn't fit the mood of the film). So basically what I'm looking for is a sort-of logical way to go about resolving a paradox. If it helps at all, the main puzzle is called the Raven Paradox.

Thank you!

My novel is cerebral science fiction, and I am in need of some really great names. Not weird, though. This is not an intergalactic kind of science fiction (although the idea of it was inspired by Doctor Who), so no strange alien names. I also don't want very common names, as they might portray the character as boring at first glance. Names that I like (but, unfortunately, cannot use): Peter, Calvin, Sophia, and Amelia.

My characters:

A bitter, Scottish man in his early thirties. Brown hair, dark eyes, wiry kind of body, tallish, scruffy and sarcastic, a little rough, absolutely no social skills, very determined to find something and willing to mow down anyone (literally kill them) to get it, doesn't know how to handle affection (even among his handful of friends), holds every grudge imaginable.

An older man, about fifty. The book keeper of a decrepit library, and a hostage for a good third of the book. Kind of quirky, really brilliant, and a gigantic nerd. Graying, short hair, not balding at all, little green watery eyes, squat and a bit chubby, glasses that are always slipping down his beak-nose, the only American in a small Irish town.

A nineteen year old Irish girl. Long, light brown hair and dark eyes. Pale, not stunningly gorgeous, but decently attractive, short and small, girly, know-it-all, quick-thinking, innovative, a true hostage for only a short part of the story, compulsive liar, not one for affection or plainly shown emotions (a very tightly sealed book), generally optimistic, a little naivete at times.

There they are. All suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you! : )

Heya!

Okay, so I've got a nineteen year old girl that needs naming. Longish brown/red hair, light brown eyes, short and little, very girly, but isn't afraid to punch someone's lights out when necessary. Described by one of my other characters as being "adorable", and of course she resents this. Kind of snarky and obstinate, holds a mean grudge over petty things. Her flaws are not watching what she says to people, severe impatience, and a terrible habit of arguing against anything anyone ever states.

Names I have considered thus far:

Lucy

Josie

Katie

Georgie

Maggie

If it helps any, the other characters are called:

Jonathan

Noah

Seth

Rebecca

Annie

Beau

Wyatt

Thea

Thanks for the help!

It's about shared dream states and nightmares amongst test subjects, and, no, it is nothing like Inception ; )

The Marish

Lucidity

Reoccurred

The Pavor Tree

Pnigalion

If you have any preference or other suggestions, that would be very appreciated! Thanks!

¡Para escribo mis libros!

So far I've got:

Matilda, Mattie

Theodora, Thea

Josette, Joy/Josie

Any others? I would use Henrietta, Etta, but I don't think I'd ever picture her as anything other than Peter and Olivia's daughter, so that won't work. Thanks for any help!

My mom was taken advantage of when she was nineteen, and got pregnant with me. She tried to abort me two times, and I was born too early with brain damage that, thankfully, only left me with ADHD, a couple of panic disorders, and mild dyslexia that makes me unable to read numbers properly. I'll be adopted in four months, and I'll have just turned sixteen. I have had twenty-seven homes in my life, and nearly every one of them contained a person who was sickened by my existence. As a rape-baby, I know that I scare a lot of people. And that I shouldn't really exist. People have openly explained to me throughout my life about how much pain and suffering I put my biological mother into. I have had this wandering guilt hanging over me for the past decade and a half, and I'm starting to feel like I really am the despicable, "born from evil, born into evil, born evil", monster that everyone labels me as. Is there anyone out there that agrees/disagrees? I just want to know definitely on everyone's opinion.

Book stuff, again. She is five years old, red hair, brown eyes, adorable (what ginger kid isn't?), and tries very hard to be like her mother (a professional psychologist sometimes outsourced to help police investigations, so, yeah, typically serious and on-task). The names I have considered thus far:

Georgia (Georgie)

Charlotte (Charlie)

Isabelle (Izzie)

Lucille (Lucie--I know it's not the common spelling, but I feel this more suits the nickname)

Cosette (Cosie)

Any others you all could add/name your favorite from my list? Muchas Gracias : )

My main character's name is Margaret, nicknamed Mae (and once or twice, Maggie). When her name was still Gracie, she had wheat-blonde, long, wildly curly hair, light green eyes, not much height-wise, and was prone to freckles. Her personality was somewhat argumentative, had-to-have-the-last-word in a conversation, and painfully ADHD. She's in the general vicinity of eighteen years old, but that may be subject to change. My question: What do you picture when you hear the name Mae?

Muchas Gracias : )
