| To eliminate the need for an extra day every four years, why couldn't we just redefine the second? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 06:51 AM PST Since we need (approximately) one extra day every four years to keep our calendar in sync with our orbit, why couldn't we just multiply (four years +1/ four years) 1461 / 1460 = 1.0006849315... to each existing second? After four years' time we'd be enough later to eliminate the need for the leap day, right? Obviously all GPS satellites/world clocks/etc would have to be adjusted but that seems like something that could be done. I know this is missing something but that why I'm here! [link] [comments]  |
| What is the probability of rolling at least one six with 6 dice? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 11:32 AM PST My teacher states it is 98%, but he also says that it is way to advanced for us in 10th grade, that it would be a waste to teach it to us. Using the "easy" calculations as he calls it, I and the others find that the probability is roughly 67%. I've spent some time online, but I have failed to find something that supports his claim. I also ran a simulation multiple times with over 100000 throws, which all resulted in 65-68% probability in terms of the occurrence of in which one six appeared. I was just wondering if anyone can show me the correct calculation, and explain it (or link me to something that explain it for me.) Thanks a lot in advance:) Hope you understood my English and that you're able to help. [link] [comments]  |
| What exactly do we use some of the obscure micronutrients, like selenium, for? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 02:05 PM PST I'm talking about things like copper, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, etc. Are they all enzyme cofactors? What do we use them for? [link] [comments]  |

| Do monkeys and other primates form callouses on their hands? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 10:27 PM PST When I began weightlifting, I started forming callouses on my palms, and it was raw and hurt a bit before they formed. Do monkeys or apes also have to toughen their hands through use? It seems more extreme, given that they theb to be much more arboreal than we are, so their hands would experience much rougher surfaces. [link] [comments]  |
| Why are acids corrosive on metals, and bases corrosive on organic material? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 05:38 PM PST I don't understand how the amount of H+ ions determines what kind of material and substance can eat through. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Feb 2016 08:14 PM PST Originally posted this in /r/DenverBroncos but thought that you all might have more input into the physiology of it. It's always a topic of discussion during Denver's home games that the opponent's offense/defense seem to look 'gassed' or more tired than usual when playing in Denver. I'm curious though if those benefits would also translate over into away games at regular elevation. I'm afraid I don't know much of the physiology behind it besides there being less oxygen at higher altitude, so are there tangible benefits to playing in Denver versus other places? How large a role could living/playing/training in Denver factor into the conditioning of the players on the team at or near sea level? [link] [comments]  |

| Why do isogrid structures use triangles rather than hexagons for the rib reinforcement shape? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 09:16 PM PST I thought that a honeycomb pattern would be stronger than an equilateral triangle pattern. Is it simply a case of triangles work and are cheaper, or does the triangle have an advantage over the hexagon in aerospace (specifically spacecraft boosters and fuel tanks)? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Feb 2016 11:46 AM PST would two black holes close to each other have an area in the middle where gravity mostly cancels out, and thus grant us insight into the area that would normally be obscured? [link] [comments]  |

| What happens to the brain when someone "sobers up" after a event? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 12:21 PM PST Every time you hear someone say "that sobered me up" or an event happens that "made me sober". Does the body actually purge the effects of the alcohol/THC? [link] [comments]  |
| Does Time Dilation Affect the Formation of Black Holes? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 01:07 PM PST When a star collapses and forms a black hole, is the collapse affected by time dilation as the black hole forms from the material of the dying star? Could the original star whose collapse formed the black hole still be collapsing? Is it possible little to none of the material in the black hole ever actually makes it to the gravitational singularity? [link] [comments]  |
| At which 'alcohol by volume' percentage does alcoholic beverages become diurietics? Posted: 29 Feb 2016 09:31 AM PST In other words, if stranded on a deserted island with nothing but beer / wine / liquor, how much volume-% alcohol can it contain for me to keep drinking it without die of thirst in the end? I assume there's a rough cut off somewhere, considering coffee ain't a diuretic as commonly believed; you actually gain fluid for every cup you drink. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Feb 2016 08:47 AM PST Is there some property of sound waves where they can lose their loudness, yet still travel far? Could I generate a sound that was no louder than me talking, yet could be heard from a mile away? [link] [comments]  |
