worldbuilding projects

one of my hobbies is making up fictional worlds! i like to focus on physical realism, because i'm not very creatively gifted :'<

my current main project is a tidally-locked planet. i think that the people on there would probably have some really interesting ideas about a bunch of stuff, cause they've got a weird position to view the world

the maths and physics stuff

as it says on my home page, i like maths :3 and, since i'm aiming for realism, there's a lot to do! which is good. unfortunately, i'm kinda stupid, so idk how to solve some of these problems yet. stuff like

• the specific shape the planet takes, beyond just "it's a triaxial ellipsoid"
• the orbital period it needs to maintain a magnetic field
• actually that's them for now :3

but then, there's also the physics, which i also like :3. in this case, it's mostly astrophysics, which is good in that the math is mostly pretty easy, and bad in that the precision is crap. there's a reason the joke about astrophysicists is that they approximate π as 1. anywho, the other bad thing is that i'm kinda totally out of my depth cause, as it turns out, space is big and, more importantly, hard
