| Is there a different compass used in outer space? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 08:35 PM PDT I assume the concepts of North, South, East, and West are kind of lost when put in the abyss of space, so what is used in it's place to tell direction? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a colour our eyes can see but common camera chips can't detect? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 01:57 PM PDT Non-photo blue is used for graphics and sketches that should disappear when scanned in a photo-copier or when converted to grayscale and some shades of purple seem to shift to blue when taken with an (older) camera. However, is there a colour our eyes can see but common (smartphone) cameras can't detect at all? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is the C.M.B. visible in every direction? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 05:17 PM PDT If it is the case that the big bang was a local event; how is it that the cosmic microwave background is visible from every spacial angle? If there was superluminal expansion, surely only one direction should have the remnants. If the photons escaped the plasma during expansion, surely there was nothing for them to scatter off of -- back towards us -- and we shouldn't see anything. Is it topological? Something like a 4-D stereographic projection where the projection point is the big bang such that all 3-D spacial paths trace a meridian back into the past? How can we even tell that it's the big bang and not radiation from non-observable universe beyond our small bubble? [link] [comments]  |

| Why electric waves and magnetic waves are at right angles? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 06:04 PM PDT Hi I'm looking into electromagnetic waves and have found lots of information about how a positive electrical charge creates a magnetic field and vice versa.. But I haven't yet found an explanation as to why they are created at a right angle? Logic would tell me that from an event, the result would be created in all directions, so why at a right angle? And also, with these events not actually being flat in any sense, what is the right angle even relative to? If anyone has a link to a video or something that could explain this it'd be much appreciated. If the answers become too mathematical, I won't be able to follow. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| How is the effect of drugs on fetuses tested when taken by the mother? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 01:26 PM PDT So I was listening to a podcast today that was discussing Thalidomide back in the 60s. One consequence they brought up of all of the birth defects in children whose mothers had taken thalidomide for morning sickness was this led to clinical trials excluding all women until the 90s, and not until 2016 was it mandated that women be included in all phases of testing, which seems absolutely crazy to me. So that got me wondering, how do doctors determine the effects different medicines will have on fetuses. I can't imagine anyone would risk their child's life to participate in a study. Do they just have to use anecdotal evidence? Are pregnant women simply advised to not take anything for fear of damaging the fetus. And what about drugs specifically intended for pregnant women?

| Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:00 AM PDT For example sending any electrical signals, or strengthening any nerve pathways? Or are you just bringing to mind the signals it's already giving you that you just weren't focused on before (like if it's hot or cold or if it's in pain)? I was thinking about this originally in the context of yoga but am now just curious about how thinking about a body part works. Often in yoga classes instructors will tell you to "focus on" or "bring awareness to" a certain body part, usually at the beginning or end of a class while you are doing a bit of meditation. What does this do in your body [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2017 10:49 PM PDT I fell down an internet rabbit hole today learning about the geologic formation of the Western United States. I spent some time looking at Google maps and found an interesting, unnamed feature about 15 miles Northeast of Crater Lake in Oregon. What is this feature, and how did it form? [link] [comments]  |
| Why can't all chemotherapy treatments be done at home? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 01:21 PM PDT Many chemo-treatments can be done from home, which include taking medication, IVs, or injections. But throughout my research the doctor makes the decision of whether or not it can be done at the patient's home. What are the factors that go into their decision to why or why not it can be done at home? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do some spiders hoist pebbles from the ground and sometimes weave them into their webs? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 11:04 AM PDT I have seen this several times in northern Germany. But I never understood why the spiders do this and how it benefits them. Here are some examples I could find on the net: [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any physical limit on how intense light can be? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 06:37 AM PDT If you increase the number of photons in a given volume of space, does there reach a point when you can't continue to add more photons? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2017 08:05 AM PDT Sorry, but I asked this same question in the megathread a day ago, but did not get a response. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2017 11:13 AM PDT Catchy title, I know, but I had to phrase it as a question to get accepted... [link] [comments]  |
| Does it take more energy to travel against the spin of a galaxy? Posted: 28 Sep 2017 10:18 AM PDT If the milky way is rotating clockwise, are there forces (gravity, others) that would make it more difficult to travel counterclockwise, or "against the grain" so to speak? Or does that not make a difference? [link] [comments]  |
