Is there a terminal velocity in a vacuum?

Could you theoretically reach light speed given enough space and gravity?

Quantum entanglement: Do I understand this correctly?

Posted: 06 Aug 2016 06:09 PM PDT

Real life example: My girlfriend and I are at the airport. She hands me a passport, unsure if it's mine or hers. Does this create a quantum entanglement between the two passports? Once I observe the passport I'll know the properties of the other one.

How fast can my eyes move?

How fast can i look at stuff? Like i can look from A To B and i can move my eyes between them quite rapidly, but how fast could i possibly go?

When a magnet attracts a ferrous metal what effect, if any, would the metal being an alloy have?

Posted: 06 Aug 2016 12:04 AM PDT

For example if a ball bearing were composed of a steel alloy and left on a track within range of a magnet so that it was attracted what alterations might come from the introduction of metals such as zinc which are not non-magnetic, or otherwise non ferromagnetic metals such as chromium.

Why do the layers of the sun vary in temperature?

Can you generate energy from atomic vibration?

Posted: 05 Aug 2016 11:57 PM PDT

As most of us learned is high school, atoms vibrate based on temperature, faster=hotter. What I want to know is, could you get room temperature material, use the vibrations to generate energy, and dispose of the cooled material?

How is it that Borderline Personality Disorder and Schizotypal Personality Disorder can be so frequently co-morbid with their seeming contradictions?

Posted: 05 Aug 2016 11:59 PM PDT

I have read from a few sources that the two will at least sometimes appear alongside one another in the same person, but it seems like some of the symptoms of each "cancel" one another in a way. Like, people with BPD are known to seek out relationships and to cling on to them whereas people with STPD are more likely to avoid relationships/have no interest in forming them. That seems to be the biggest contradiction to me, though there are others (for instance, I know from personal experience that people with BPD tend to quite quickly overshare things with new people but have read that people with STPD don't feel comfortable sharing personal information due to paranoia). How do people with both behave with respect to that particular area of symptoms?
