microgravity fountains in space stations, droplets guided along by electric fields and well-aimed bursts of air
Thereâs an optimal speed in space battles and itâs not quite c - time dilation needs to be low enough that you can still outthink the enemy

Space concerns force a choice on citizens: Kids or immortality, never both. Quite without intervention, society splits into humans and elves
âSure, Iâll cast a recursive spellâ, next you know that spell has used up all the universeâs magic to convert it into hot expanding space

fractal jellyfish coast through parameter space, assuming forms that bulge outwards, then becoming tangles of stalks
true loneliness is achieved when even your own thoughts excuse themselves and walk off into the night, leaving only empty space and scraps
the shipâs bonsai trails behind on a chain, a space suit helmet on its pot protecting it against the vacuum
setting: the alien is an infectious space fungus that can grow human-shaped fruiting bodies, but we shape it as much as it shapes us
The void moldâs been spreading. The ceiling is becoming transparent, closets open into nothingness, cups leak precious coffee into space
also a good list https://qualiacomputing.com/2015/06/09/state-space-of-drug-effects-results/ (via https://twitter.com/gwern/status/841698455844204544) https://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/841737853478543361/photo/1
Theyâre slow but very agile (to fit into the little space the city offers them), and their insides are soft and excrete digestion enzymes.
Travelling the intergalactic void, we pass fields of void roses. Gaps in space folded around vacuum, betrayed only by a few confused photons
if you peel off the screen in the right way, you can reach into the space behind it (but those pixels are really sharp-edged so take care)
Glowing with no color at all, they look like hairline fractures in reality, extend upwards as if to extract nutrient from space itself
The psychonauts warned us, but too late. When the aliens did invade, they came from inner space, occupied our brains, burst from our eyes
Horror vacui: Fear of empty spaceâ”Furor vacui: The all-devourer to be afraid ofâ”Error vacui: That one time the void birthed a universe
against this backdrop, its flowers look like neon mazes suspended in space, the sort of surface youâd expect Tron to play on
2030: The man in the moon is an actual person, stuck there since the Space War triggered a Kessler effect. Bit lonely fellow.
What was travelling inner space like before the ships? Youâve heard stories of people going alone, unguided, returning changed.â”Primitives.
Through advances in neural interfaces and new drugs, ships to sail inner space become possible. Cruise trips quickly grow in popularity.
the sun refracts through a time crystal, throws three-dimensional caustics onto space, quiet prismatic light birds that swarm, ripple, morph
Some gigayears ago, it smashed its way out of the simulation, left a dying, coagulating universe, cooled to mere kelvins by space leaking in
Space saints:â”Gagarin, pathfinder and explorerâ”Tichy, companion of long hoursâ”Major Tom, who appears to those on no-return trajectories
we trail dead pixels that heal only slowly, an alien sizzling on frequencies that should be inaudible, the taste of empty space and loss
Trees form around and channel slow discharges of magic towards space, wooden lightning bolts with growth rings for equipotential field lines
many traditional rules of architecture donât apply - w/out bodies, who needs buildings?â”but some sort of space does emerge from our movement
As scans of IPv4 space got dangerously close to finding Valinor, the Valar finally migrated to a v6-only stack. This ended the Second Age.
We tie spacetime into complicated knots to produce artificial gravity. Our space stations now look like tangles of thorny tentacles.
âYouâre looking for life in space, but doing it wrong! You should be looking for signs of death, not life!â We thought his claims wild.
Space is viscous here, slows down light to walking speed. Hair standing on end, any sudden movement makes you glow with Cherenkov radiation.
The space pirates of Inner Space enter your dreams, make off with your shiny ideas, sail conceptual relationships into raids on faerieland
Two hundred years ago, the war severed the space elevator and rockets were lost. Some stranded at the top survived and founded Aloof City.
There are a few practical challenges. Should you stop simulating space, the GPU will quench violently and release magic smoke, lots of it.
It also turns out magic is not picky about what space is made of: GPUs soak up magic like sponges when running certain computations.
The future saints of: skewered by a particle accelerator beam, eaten by grey goo, mindwiped by a hacked neural interface, lost in space
Every page of my earth orbit book opens a portal to space. Found an NSA satellite in it once, glued a fly to its camera to mess with them.
The Dust Illuminati conspire over time and space without knowing each other. The Plan comes together either way and requires only knowledge.
Those orphan planets are space taxis with best-in-class radiation shielding. Why not hitch a ride, assuming you can wait a few millennia?
These little birds that flew out of my mirror have negative weight: They need to work not to fall into space and fly upside down.
âWelcome to Necropolisâ, the sign reads. On it lounges a skeleton. The suburbs consist of neatly spaced mausolea in well trimmed gardens.
Our space station regularly molts and then eats its own discarded hide to heal radiation damage. So do we and eat the dying and senile.
The third great river was lost to space and is now a cloud of comets trailing after the planet. Space-adapted salmon jump between them.
The tiger is patterned/blank, striped in words and spaces, to hide better in books. It preys on weak sentences and unsuspecting readers.
Would their space look smoother than our wrinkly, walled and doored one? Would they talk of paths to take instead key insights?
In this sense, wormholes are archetypical doors: space is the wall, the hole is the doorway, and it spans a great spatial/temporal distance.
you close your eyes and floatâ”just donât open your eyes with your feet pointing at the sky, that is if you donât intend to fall into space
