Because for civilian vehicles magnetic levitation would need a corresponding field generated by a maglev road, but not if the wheels were magnetically suspended around the axles. This would reduce the problem of axel damage by hazards, a smoother ride, and faster acceleration.

How would they keep down the rotational mass? What could be done to eliminate the drag coefficient?

I recently saw Big Hero 6 in theatres. One of the main heroes, Go Go Tomago, is working on a faster bicycle by using wheels suspended electromagnetically. Would such technology work in real life? I've seen it done before, but only in works of fiction.

I already knew about the link between birds and the raptor family of dinosaurs.

Well how long is it estimated that Venus became a wasteland anyway?

Yes, but I still wish to know how it could work in real life with real sciences applied.

Exactly, so what are the chances of them surviving more Earth-like conditions?

Changing conditions is what killed the dinosaurs, isn't it? When the meteor hit most life on Earth was destroyed, excluding those who hid well enough from what was thrown into the atmosphere.

This kind of relates to a discussion I started once about the terraforming of other planets. I don't remember if we covered this part. Here's the scenario I was wondering about; -Something came crashing into Venus. -Said object was big, heavy and fast enough to knock away the harsher parts of the atmosphere. -The planet is now on a different axis that causes it to rotate the same way as Earth. -Before the whole incident there were already primitive microorganisms on the surface. Under the new, Earth-like conditions that have befallen Venus in this scenario, what would happen to said microbes? Would they start to evolve, or would they stay unchanged?

Well, with that in mind, would it make sense for a sentient being or other creature to one day evolve into a form that can be accessed in the same dimensions as us?

What if they, or we, could find a way to be sensed in this temporal dimension?

What if these aliens had access to a technology that allowed them to be sensed in our dimension, or technology that allowed us to sense in their dimension?

Okay, then let me change it to "separate plane of existence" if that works better.

A different dimension of being seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled. That's what they mean by the second dimension and third dimension, right?

Well, yes, kind of. Alien means outside of where we live, foreign, or of extraterrestrial origin. Look at Pacific Rim. The alien civilization who sent the Kaiju still count since they're not from Earth. Same with Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and the aliens of the same name in the 2012 reboot).

If a race of people were from another dimension, but in that dimension they were from another planet, would they still be aliens?

What would happen if the microbes in the Venusian clouds fell to the planet's surface? Would they be destroyed, or would something different happen to them?

That's terrible. We can't just nuke somewhere out of the paranoid theory of it attacking us. What example of the human race would that send to other civilizations? Bad! They'd think of us as mere monsters. How about I say something like humanity did something that made Venus habitable, but at the same time caused the microbes to fall to the planet and mutate into sentient beings? Or maybe they had been evolving into such creatures for a long time, and by decades into the future we can finally confirm their existance?

If they're sentient and intelligent microbes, why not? Or how about this? What if mankind did something to Venus that mutated the microbes in the clouds into bigger life forms?

So they'd likely be just too small for us to see?

What if I said they had evolved into the beings I described earlier who were resistant to such extreme heat and could breathe the CO2 on Venus? I was thinking that if that were the case, they didn't first encounter other races in the galaxy until Earth figured out how to terraform Venus.

But how fast did Venus' runaway greenhouse effect give in on the planet? Evolution takes centuries last I heard, so are you sure they could've evolved fast enough to gain those immunities?

Hi, me again, with another problem involving my story concept from before. One of the alien races in the story is situated on Venus, which of course would not be a suitable place for life as we know today. I was thinking what if the Venusians were underground dwelling beings who could survive extreme heat (up to 1000 degrees Celsius), and breathed carbon dioxide. They would also need something that would grant them immunity to sulphuric acid rain. But what would they have to be made of to survive the conditions on that planet?

I could make them closed cockpit, but then nobody would notice they're supposed to be hoverbikes. Look at this. Without wheels, would this still look motorcycle-esque to you?: Couldn't I just keep the open-cockpit design and say an electromagnetic field moves air and debris around the rider?
