Sometimes there's just more Sci Fi than the SciNoFi team can keep up with. It sounds crazy, I know, but it's true - we live in a golden age of speculative fiction in a host of media. And more than likely, some of it brushes up close enough to real science to make you, our dear readers, wonder: "Can they do that?" But then the laundry needs folding, or your boss actually wants you to get some work done, or there's a critical game of Facebook Scrabble that needs playing, and you don't get around to finding the answer. We're here to help. In the comments below, fire away with your science questions about any sci fi book, TV show, movie, radio play, comic, or whatever that you can think of, and we'll set about answering as many as we can in upcoming posts as part of our Codex Futurius project. Bear in mind, we yearn to answer science questions. We're relatively useless for fielding pop entertainment rumors or speculating on why Starbuck keeps having weird visions. But the science of Sci Fi? Bring it on.
