  This is ... amazing. It's like a TV-tropes level of detail about science fiction topics. Also linked is a fun read about space combat: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunconvent.php#firstlaw http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunconvent...

    > At around .998 c, the impacting ravioli begins to behave less like ravioli and more like an extremely intense radiation beam. Protons in the water of the ravioli begin to successfully penetrate the nuclei of the hull metal. Thermonuclear interactions, such as hydrogen fusion, may take place in the tomato sauce. You're not kidding! This is awesome.

  Projectrho is an amazing treasure trove for aspiring scifi writers, wild dreamers etc. Just never forget that the sources are mostly scifi stories and usenet discussions. A lot of the math that is presented as realistic is actually not at all grounded in reality.
