Shouldn't it just be one big grey ball by now? What's separating the colors?

If I am swimming in the ocean when lightening strikes, how far away do I have to be to not get hurt and why?

For some reason I'm at the beach on vacation and this is all I can think about

If charged particles that are stationary are electric, those that move uniformly are magnetic, and those that accelerate emit radiation, what happens with those that jerk or snap?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 10:27 AM PDT

Jerk and snap being the first and second derivatives of acceleration with respect to time.

I don't know how to categorize this post on my mobile phone. It's physics obviously

A doctor will clean an injection site before giving a shot - why doesn't a dentist need to do so before a numbing shot? Don't our mouths generally have more bacteria than our arm/leg skin?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 03:14 PM PDT

or does the topical anesthetic they use before the needle also contain an antibiotic? Or is the bacteria in our mouths less dangerous because it's more "internal" and our bodies are already used to it?

Since I have never seen it, I'm assuming it cant be done properly. Why do we not see people jumping out of airplanes with a super reinforced umbrella? Basically Mary Poppins style? What would happen is someone could build such a contraption and actually tried the jump?

In the long run, is worldwide income/wealth inequality increasing, decreasing, or fluctuating around a mean?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 06:54 AM PDT

Looking throughout the course of human history, there seem to be forces that both increase and decrease economic inequality. Is any side dominant so far or do they both meet each other at an equilibrium? What about in the future? Do we know?

When the skin is grazed in such a way that there is no bleeding, a different fluid leaks out of the wound that is a pale yellow and foul-smelling. What is this fluid and why is it leaking?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 05:12 AM PDT

I recently severely grazed my head and so much of this fluid came out that it formed a large glue-like orange crust that smelled disgusting and was painful to remove.

Some sites on the internet say its blood plasma, but why would blood plasma leak out and not also blood? Other sites say it is white blood cells which is ridiculous. The most likely answer I found was that it's a combination of intra-and extra-cellular fluid leaking from skin cells torn open by the graze. I'd much appreciate if ask science settled this issue.

What makes the air in old enclosed spaces smell 'stale', regardless of whether humans inhabit it?

What would happen if I had a wire circuit that stretched to the moon and back and connected it to a battery and a switch. Would there be a delay when I turned it on? How is it possible for that info to move faster than light?

Why are the leads of electronic components never made out of copper?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 03:14 AM PDT

I get that copper can get brittle after bending it multiple times but wouldn't it provide less resistance and would be more practical in most or atleast some cases?

What was the primary reason for higher levels of atmospheric O2 500-200 million years ago?

Why does light from houses from outside appear to be yellow, while when inside they seem to give off a white light?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 12:44 AM PDT

Would an asteroid, close enough to the sun and in the right spot, be able to block all light on Earth, if even for a millisecond?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 06:20 AM PDT

Or does light somehow wrap itself around the asteroid (or another planet), making it absolutely impossible to tell the difference?

What are the uses of helium?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 06:06 AM PDT

Not including balloons and to make funny voices.

Why does hydrogen peroxide foam when it comes in contact with a cut but not unbroken skin or other surfaces?

Posted: 04 Sep 2016 11:45 PM PDT

I recently cut myself quite badly in a Kitchen accident. Ultimately, I ended up needing stitches. When I first injured myself I was quick to clean the wound. I had hydrogen peroxide in my medicine cabinet, so I used that to clean the wound. I've used it in the past but never on a cut of this size. This was the first time that I noticed that hydrogen peroxide foams along the contours of the cut; however, it didn't foam any where else, including the surface of the sink, which was covered in blood. So why does it foam on my cut?

If a wheel that is a perfect circle (eg 10cm radius) travelled along a perfectly flat road how much of the wheel is touching the road at any point?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 05:28 AM PDT

Also, does the diameter of the circle change the amount of contact?

Why do two wind turbines close to each other turn at different speeds or one not turn at all?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 01:41 AM PDT

In the winter, I can see two wind turbines from my house (the big kind). They often turn at different speeds or one is not turning at all. At wind farms I pass, it seems similar - I rarely see them all turning together. Sometimes, they will seem to be at radically different angles to each other too.
Is this related to matching demand or is one being serviced?
I understand there is a cost to starting up a turbine. What form does that take, and why?
If two turbines are turning at different speeds, is the faster one generating more electricity? Do the turbines have 'gears'? Thanks!

Do we have medicine's which are able to target receptors in specific areas of the body?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 05:09 AM PDT

I.E. Androgen receptors in the scalp. A medicine to target only the androgen receptors.

What is the highest resolution neuroimaging technique available today? What resolution can we expect in the next years?

Posted: 05 Sep 2016 04:44 AM PDT

My understanding is that the resolution is still really low and far from separating individual cells. Is there an effort to extend this? And is it actually realistic that it will ever be possible to have a non destructive imaging technique that would allow for later brain simulation?

As far as I know brain simulation models currently rely on electronic microscope data and the studied brain is generally destroyed during the procedure.
