Does sipping over time vs 'chugging' water impact the bodies ability to hydrate if the amounts of water are the same?

Do radios work in Faraday cages? Could you theoretically walkie-talkie a person standing next to you while in one, or do they block radios altogether?

And would a Faraday cage prevent radio signals from OUTSIDE reaching the inner radio?

How can gravity bend light if the speed of light is constant?

Posted: 19 Aug 2017 02:40 AM PDT

When natural satellites get get closer to the object they are orbiting they speed up. However, light can't speed up, so how can it bend without speeding up in the direction it is bending?

It's called gravitational lensing, so one could think it works in the same way lenses bend light, but lenses bend light because of an interaction between light and particles in the lens.

Why do dogs lick their owners/companions?

Why do dogs lick their owners ? Is it because they are trying to show affection. If so, why do they lick them?

How Does Gravity Change As You Approach The Center Of A Gas Giant?

Posted: 18 Aug 2017 10:04 PM PDT

If a planet is a gas giant(Like Jupiter), would gravity be less powerful closer to the center? Since less of the mass is below you to pull you down?

Could someone please explain to me entropy?

Posted: 19 Aug 2017 04:56 AM PDT

I've gone and done some readings about it but can't really wrap my head around the concept. So far, I've gotten that it's a measurement of orderliness and higher entropy is more disorder. How does this relate entropy to the heat death of the universe? Can some one please explain to me in relatively simple terms since I can be quite slow in the head sometimes.

Does our body really use a minimum of 1500 calories a day? If so, what are we using it for?

Posted: 18 Aug 2017 05:30 PM PDT

I remember reading that even if you just lie in bed all day and do nothing, your body still burns 1500 calories. Is this true? What is our body using that for?

Do animals practice recreational competition with each other? Can they feel joy from winning a game and understand rules?

Posted: 18 Aug 2017 05:39 PM PDT

Sure, dogs can learn tricks and are usually positively reinforced with a treat, like a simple example of the "choose a hand" game or a cup shuffle, but does an animal like a horse understand why it's racing and "enjoy" victory, or does it just know "this is an instance when I've been trained to run?"

I know animals in nature compete with each other for things like alpha status, which is obviously something that certain animals are driven towards, but do animals ever recreationally compete in nature, or is competition/survival separate in animal nature than recreation/pleasure?

How does quantum field theory explain spin?

I have tried to find the answer to this online, but I can't seem to find a satisfying answer.

If light is constantly speeding towards us from the edge of the observable universe, have any new galaxies or stars popped "into existence"?

How would/does microgravity affect the function of an induction motor?

Posted: 18 Aug 2017 06:42 PM PDT

How does/would microgravity affect the function of an induction motor? If the stator was not anchored to anything would part of it's torque be transfer to itself resulting in the stator spinning counter directionally to the rotor and decreased rotational speed for the rotor relative to the initial position of the stator? For another example on Earth a motor spins it's rotor clockwise at 1rpm, would and attempt to run this motor in microgravity result in the rotor spinning clockwise at .5rpm and stator spinning counterclockwise at .5rpm?

How does the mass of rotor and stator play into this?

Basically in space will the stator stay?

What would've been the physical process behind the feared second explosions during the Chernobyl disaster?

Posted: 18 Aug 2017 04:03 PM PDT

I've had a sort morbid fascination with the Chernobyl disaster for quite some time, and while I have found plenty of good material on the hypotheses for the initial explosions that blew the lid of the reactor casing (hydrogen explosion due to zirconium-steam/graphite-steam reactions and steam pressure explosion), I have not really managed to wrap my head around what the nature of the second explosion would be.

I've read that it would've been a steam explosion but in an interview in the 2006 documentary "The Battle of Chernobyl" it is stated that they feared it would be on the magnitude of a 2-5 megaton nuke which I just can't imagine a steam explosion doing.

So, TL;DR; What would've actually happened if the lava-like reactor goop hit the basins of water beneath the reactor?
