Is it possible to still manufacture "low-background" steel as used for science?

Posted: 18 Jun 2017 03:37 PM PDT

from the TIL today. I know that steel manufactured before 1940 is especially rare and expensive due to contamination from the atomic testing. but some day that may/will run out could an alternative still be manufactured ?

When and how was it first discovered that brains think?

Posted: 18 Jun 2017 04:57 PM PDT

I'm curious, because it seems to me that it's not an obvious thing to discover. Unlike many other organs inside the body, the brain doesn't really look like it's doing anything. So how was its function discovered?

How does one determine how much water can be absorbed by different compositions of the ground?

Posted: 18 Jun 2017 08:29 PM PDT

Such as how much water can soil vs sand absorb, and how do we determine this?

Say you have a patch of desert and water steadily dripping at a constant rate. How much of the ground would the water penetrate, get soaked up essentially, and at what radius? Additionally, how long would it take to convert the sand to soil?

How much oxygen can fish take in while out of the water?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:52 AM PDT

So obviously fish die when out of the water for long periods of time.

Their gills collapse reducing the surface area.

However surely they should still be able to take on oxygen from the air, albeit at a massively reduced rate?

Can computers be inoculated against malware?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:40 AM PDT

My, very limited, understanding of randomware is that your files are encrypted with a key you don't know.

If you could preserve a single file on say a partition that could not be over written and you knew the exact location of an identical file that was over written could the two files be used as Rosetta Stone to decrypt the whole computer?

Would this work and if not why?

When someone dies, what happens to the gas buildup in their stomach? Does it come out like a deathly fart or do the undertakers puncture or remove the stomach/intestines to stop this from happening?

Why do clouds appear flat on the bottom?

Why is it that clouds appear flat on the bottom, and for lack of a better term "fluffy" on top?

The Quantum Chromodynamic Gauge Invariant Lagrangian?

Because of this shitty automod taking down my post every fucking time I try to post it, would one describe the topic "As if I were a youth of at least 1,826 days on this Earth" please?

It's Wikipedia entry is Latin to me, which is to say I don't know how to read Latin.

[Physics] What caused the accident at the fukushima nuclear power plant?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 04:27 AM PDT

I was just wondering since there was such a brilliant explanation over at the chernobyl thread. Was the cause of the accident similar to chernobyl(human error)?

How are steel construction building beams allowed to get rusty and remain exposed to wet weather? Wouldn't that compromise their integrity?

Why aren't stealth fighter jets harder to visibly see than non-stealth fighter jets?

Posted: 19 Jun 2017 01:46 AM PDT

Jets like the F-22 and F-35 are designed to reflect and deflect radar waves away from the original source, so that minimal energy is returned to said source. So why doesn't this happen for light waves? If you had the source of light (the sun) directly behind you and were trying to view the aircraft, it would still look the same, right?
