| Is atomic resonance a constant or does it depend on gravity/forces? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 07:07 PM PDT So, my cousin got a kinectic watch and we started discussing on how exact a watch (or any timekeeping device for that matter) could get. I mentioned how the atomic clock is the most accurate watch in existance blah blah, and that it counts the osciliation of cesium blah blah, but he mentioned that the resonance could change depending on the forces acting on it. Is it true, partially or not? (please note I am no physics expert, i'm still on middle school :p probably I wrote a thing or two wrong) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2016 03:33 PM PDT So this question sparked a debate between me and my parents while prepping for the arrival of Hurricane Matthew last week. We have a modest population of fire ants in our backyard, and seeing as it's been raining nearly every day for the past couple months here in Florida, I figured the ground would already be saturated with water. Having heard about how ants join together to make ant rafts during floods, I suggested we buy ant traps as a last line of defense in case an ant raft floated our way. The hurricane came and went, as did a torrent of water which temporarily submerged our backyard. The ants are already back in their regular location, and they're making repairs to their mounds on the surface. How bad might the destruction have been underground? Did the ants evacuate, or did they take shelter in their colony? Do their chambers flood and/or collapse? Any and all insights into these fascinating creatures is welcome. [link] [comments]  |

| How does the holographic principle make sense, if the universe actually has no boundaries? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:00 PM PDT As far as I understand it, watching this Leonard Susskind interview, the holographic principle states, that all information in the universe isn't proportional to the volume of the universe but to its boundaries. All information can be stored on its boundaries - just like all information of a black hole can be stored on its event horizon. Okay. I kind of get the black hole thing. But if the universe has no boundaries (the ant on the ballon and all) how does this even make sense? Does it have boundaries the human brain is just incapable of imagining? I'm completely lost putting these two ideas together. [link] [comments]  |
| Is the graviton believed to exist or is it purely hypothetical? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:16 AM PDT I only ask because my Physics teacher often talks about it as if it is the force carrier of gravity when from my understanding there is no evidence of its existence. [link] [comments]  |
| Does indium attack aluminium in the same way that gallium does? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 08:20 AM PDT This, of course, is assuming that you can somehow keep it molten for long enough. [link] [comments]  |

| Why are oxidized compounds typically in a lower energy state? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 02:01 PM PDT When methane is oxidized into co2, it releases a large amount of heat. This implies that the total heat of formation of co2 and water is significantly lower than that of methane. Why is this the case? [link] [comments]  |
| Do supposedly silent letters have any effect on pronunciation? Posted: 09 Oct 2016 04:10 PM PDT I've noticed that when I say "night" and "knight", in saying the latter it's almost like I feel that 'k' there. Like not pronouncing it but I know it's there. I've noticed similar in other silent letters. Is there any actual measurable slight difference in words with silent letters like that, or is it all in my head? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2016 12:09 PM PDT To clarify, I'm asking for examples where some new scientific innovation was brought about by studying tribal (traditional) healing practices. I know that they have been using specific plants, drink, food, etc as a form of healing that is passed down each generation. So has any form of drug or innovation been discovered by studying these practices? [link] [comments]  |
