which of the four fundamental forces is responsible for degeneracy pressure?

Posted: 23 Mar 2017 03:16 AM PDT

Degeneracy pressure is supposedly a consequence of the pauli exclusion principle: if you try to push two electrons into the same state, degeneracy pressure pushes back. It's relevant in for example the r12 term in the Lennard Jones potential and it supposedly explains why solid objects "contact" eachother in every day life. Pauli also explains fucking magnets and how do they work, but I still have no idea what "force" is there to prevent electrons occupying the same state.

So what on earth is going on??

As the speed of two colliding particles increases, does the chance of quantum tunneling increase as well or remain consistent per head-on?

Why do we need to compile separate 32 and 64 bit versions?

Can't the CPU run 32 bit instructions and vice versa? Or at least simulate it?

Is it possible to have planets with shapes other than spheres? e.g. a cube or two spheres combined?

How does the RSA cryptosystem work?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 05:06 PM PDT

I don't understand why its hard to decrypt. I'm not a mathematician so bear with me. I thought the method would be: take the product (or whatever mathematical function) of your code and the public key, then the bank or whoever would use the prime factors to divide the number you sent. But a system like this wouldn't need the prime factors to decode. TIA

Could the Doppler effect cause light to become ionizing?

I read once that what scitzophrenics experience can vary based on cultural influences. Is there truth to this and if so what exactly would cause this to occur?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 05:08 PM PDT

The specific article i read (I wouldn't know where to look for it to cite it now) claimed that in one particular culture the voices heard by scitzophrenics tended to be friendlier and more positive. They contrasted this to patients in western nations that tend to have hallucinations that are more negative or even sinister qualities.

Are there invariant constants other than the speed of Light?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 09:35 PM PDT

I was thinking about this because it'd be nice to define units in terms that don't vary in relativistic situations, but it's interesting for a lot of stuff.

Is there more intergalactic matter than galactic matter?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 09:23 AM PDT

Given the volume of all intergalactic space vs the volume of all galaxies, could the sheer weight of all intergalactic matter (which I assume is just dust and gas) possibly exceed the weight of galactic matter?

Would a galaxy composed of all intergalactic matter put together weigh more than a galaxy of all galaxies put together?

Are genetic defects/diseases present in sperm/egg cells or do they develop while the embryo grows?

If we have been using and experiencing time and distance measurements our whole life, why can't we estimate time/distance super accurately?

If the radioactive particles coming from the sun get trapped in Earth's magnetic field and end up in both Poles as the Northern Lights when in contant with the ozone layer, does the ozone in the ecuator actually protect us?

What are magnetic fields?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 07:22 PM PDT

I know what causes magnetic fields (certain electrons spinning the same way of an iron atom etc. ) but what is the actual effect of this to make a magnetic field line in space? Is it something like a gravitational field does it warp the fabric in a certain way?

Does the photoelectric effect work for non-visible wavelengths?

Posted: 22 Mar 2017 08:28 AM PDT

Furthermore, would it be possible to make a "solar" panel which could run without the sun by using these non-visible wavelengths instead of light?
