EDIT: Thanks for all the great answers. I've never really paid attention to the "Nitro" drinks before. I though Nitro was just a marketing tagline for ENERGY.

Now i'm going to start a Kickstarter for my new cabbage flavored energy drink with methane gas!

THANKS

Why is 90% sulfuric acid more corrosive than 99% sulfuric acid?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 12:18 AM PDT

I tried doing some research on this but the only reason I can find that explains this is that 90% acid has a higher water content. However, that is not too clear to me why the extra water content affects corrosion.

Why don't Game or simulation engines us spherical coordinates instead of x,y,z and what would its effect be on floating point numbers?

Can someone please explain the criticisms of the Myers/Briggs personality test?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 09:37 PM PDT

I was recently asked to take the test. I was given the INTJ type and when I read the description I felt it was accurate, however I couldn't shake the feeling that this is just a modern day horoscope. So is this test widely accepted? What are the valid criticisms against it?

Edit: Thanks for the answers, folks. You were able to put some of my feelings into words much better than I could.

Why are there no hi-res images of the north or south poles?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 06:44 AM PDT

Google maps doesn't seem to display them well either, so I'm curious what's the reason for this.

Do things cool off in space?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 08:02 AM PDT

I'm sure this is a stupid question but if there is no matter in the void of space to get the heat transferred to, wouldn't a hot thing sent to space just remain hot?

How fast would one need to accelerate a container of air to make it bunch up to one side, creating a vacuum on the other?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 04:59 AM PDT

Back when railroads were new, alarmists feared that the speed of the carriages going as fast as 20mph would create a deathly situation for the passengers. This was obviously quite wrong. But how quick of an acceleration WOULD be needed to start heaving the air in a contained space over to one side of it?

What does the wave function Ψ look like for an hydrogen atom?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 08:45 AM PDT

My understanding is that you obtain the wave function for a system by solving the Schrodinger's equation for that system (I apologize if I'm actually basing my question on a wrong premise). So, assuming the system is a simple hydrogen atom in it's ground state, what would the wave function look like? And for a hydrogen molecule in the ground state?

I'm asking this because even though I was reading about this stuff, I never actually saw the wave function itself.

Thanks!

It must serve some purpose.

How are natural satellites discovered?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 07:28 AM PDT

What is the process of discovering natural satellites around planets?

I was browsing moons when I noticed that bigger planets have tons of smaller moons. I then noticed wikipedia has images of these satellites and one of them was named ["Discovery image of Hermippe"]. How does scientist determine from this one little white speck that it is orbiting Jupiter? How does speck in image become verified discovery? How does the scientist even know he has discovered something new?

Edit: Url for image. Reddit doesn't seem to like () inside url. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermippe_(moon)#/media/File:%CE%95%CF%81%CE%BC%CE%AF%CF%80%CF%80%CE%B7.gif

Whats up with all the earthquakes lately? Is this normal?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 07:16 PM PDT

Maybe Im crazy but it seems like there have been a ton of earthquakes lately, like the one that just happened in california or oklahoma today. Its really starting to freak me out. Is this normal or should I be worried?

In baking, does it really, from a scientific and chemical perspective, matter if I mix the dry ingredients separately?

Why do parallel lines meet at infinity?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 11:09 PM PDT

I thought that the very definition of parallel lines were that they were to always remain at the same distance apart, but i've heard that at infinity this is not the case and in fact they do meet.

Are there caves on the moon?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 12:58 AM PDT

Perhaps from some kind of porous origin or undetected (but unlikely if not impossible) flowing water underneath the surface? I know most Earth caves are from active erosion.

I recently saw this Facebook video about the pH of various brands of drinking water. What is the difference between drinking acidic water and alkaline water? Is the acidic water harmful as they say it is or is it a hoax?

If neurotransmitters can be either excitatory or inhibitory why is there not just two neurotransmitters?

Posted: 03 Sep 2016 10:58 PM PDT

I have read that having lots of neurotransmitters adds complexity to the signal but I dont understand how. Because the action potential is either fired or not fired. If possible could you provide an example that shows why 2 neurotransmitters would not work.
