| Could intelligent apes pass on what we've taught them? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 02:42 PM PST This is in regards to things like understanding sign language in various apes and in some cases spoken-English. I'm very curious if we taught to mating partners, or entire social groups of apes these methods of communication, would they teach it to their offspring, and from there have deeper understanding of the language and become more intelligent through direct parental teaching rather than cross species. I'd love to hear about this! [link] [comments]  |
| Does the Moon have anything to do with plate tectonics? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 06:04 PM PST I did a cursory search of the relation between the moon and earthquakes and found little to nothing, but I was wondering if the moon's rotation, if it is enough to cause tides is enough to affect plate tectonics or the core of the earth itself. It's molten after all, it must have some sort of fluid dynamics to it, right? I was wondering why the ring of fire is where it is, and came to the conclusion that the shape of the pacific ocean seems conducive to an oceanic suction effect that might add stress to plate tectonics in a ring shape. I'm no physicist but I don't see why a substance covering most of the earth's surface can't affect the earth in much more substantial ways than rising and falling tides. To follow up, would rising sea levels mean more/stronger earthquakes due to the greater stress exerted by water on plate boundaries? [link] [comments]  |

| Is it possible to have a soccer ball made of only hexagons? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 03:52 PM PST Every soccer ball I have seen has a combination of hexagons and pentagons as its faces. Is it possible to have one with only hexagons? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Dec 2016 04:01 PM PST I live in Montana and it just recently got very cold out here. I'm not thinking so much about the outside temperature, but specifically about our living space temperature. We keep our house at a balmy 65° F in the winter and in the summer we don't use AC. Fat, clothing, and any other insulation aside, how does the body make up for that difference? [link] [comments]  |
| At what temperature does moving water freeze? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 10:26 AM PST I was thinking about this as it get colder out. Small ponds will freeze at 32 but does it need to be even colder to freeze a stream since the water is in motion? If so how cold? [link] [comments]  |
| Gravitomagnetism is to general relativity as electromagnetism is to ... what? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 09:46 AM PST Gravitomagnetism is a weak field, linearized approximation of GR and Gravito-electrostatics (?) is basically newtonian gravity (right?). Is it possible that electromagnetism is the linearized weak field approximation of a more general, nonlinear theory? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the standard Hilbert space for a spinless particle moving in 1D? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 01:57 PM PST I am trying to learn QM as rigourously as possible. When trying to learn what the Hilbert space (H) associated with one spacial degree of freedom is, I found two answers: 1) It is the completion of the subspace of continuous everywhere differentiable functions on R that are square integrable. 2) It is L2 (R) (taking the classes of equivalence of functions that are equal if they differ in at most a set of zero measure). Most books (Jauch's Foundations on QM and Prugovecki's QM in Hilbert Space) go for the second option. However, in case 1) we do have a good way of defining a functional Fa such that Fa(g)=g(a) (since I know nothing about distributions, I guess I'll loosely call them the delta functions). However, since in option 2) the elements of H are classes of functions, the delta functions seem to not be well defined as elements of the dual of H. So which one is it? 1)? 2)? Both? Neither? Shut up and calculate? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Has it been proven that there are only 5 platonic solids and if so, how? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 12:28 PM PST I've seen it often stated that the only platonic solids are the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. Is it the case that they are the only known platonic solids or has it somehow been proven that there are no other possible ones? [link] [comments]  |

| How does being a twin (or descendent from a twin) increases the chances of having a twin offspring? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 06:42 AM PST I've hard multiple stories of families with multiple sets of twins along the generations, but it never occurred to me why does it happen. Is there anything special about the genes, eggs, utherus or sperm of a twin that make this happen? Or is just some kind of statistical bias? [link] [comments]  |

| Is propulsion in space possible through magnetic repulsion? Posted: 16 Dec 2016 01:28 PM PST I have limited knowledge in science but I know that you can create magnetic fields with electric current, so is it possible to get acceleration in space with just two magnets powered by solar energy.
