How does boiling water clean it? What can it NOT clean?

I remember reading about plastic microfibers in our water, can boiling clean that?

Do cows produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases ?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 04:15 AM PDT

Was arguing with a vegan about being a vegan and she brought up the emissions from the agricultural industry more specifically the meat industry (cows). Is the emissions from just the cows actually a significant amount both on a globl scale and different countries?

Sources would be nice

Do frequencies of a pitch begin as prime numbers in hertz measurements?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 09:00 AM PDT

Ok that was badly phrased but i learning overtones are formed by a multiple of a frequency for a noise, do the lowest all pitches go in Hz start at prime numbers?

for example, a frequency of 10Hz is an overtone of 5Hz but is 5Hz the lowest the frequency can go because it's a prime number? and if so do all pitches "begin" at a prime number?

(apologies for any incorrect terms used, struggling to phrase it properly)

How are PLGA nanoparticles produced?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 07:03 AM PDT

What is the protocol of preparing poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles and what are the chemicals required for it? Apologies for being so specific..

If cardinal directions on Earth (N, S, E, & W) derive from the planet's rotation, what would they be on the Moon, which doesn't rotate?

After the continents separated from Pangea, they have been consistently moving since then in certain directions. How long will it take until the land masses (continents) have moved far enough to where the maps will look different?

How do I know if a molecule has energetically degenerate orbitals?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 06:31 AM PDT

Is there any fast way to see wether a molecule has two or more orbitals of the same energy? And further, is there any way to look at a structure of a molecule and determine what spin state it has?

Why do we conduct hazard reduction burns of large areas at risk of bushfire instead of logging them for timber and pulp?

Posted: 10 Sep 2017 05:01 PM PDT

Wouldn't it be better to not just burn all that carbon?

What are the current treatments for antibiotic resistance patients?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 05:21 AM PDT

In a scenario where all antibiotics have failed. How are they being treated? -Do they strengthen the power of antibiotics with 'special coatings/ingredients' -Bacteriophage therapy , are they an endorsed method for now? (Since Georgia has been during it for a century with no known side effect?) -Any treatment with DNA manipulation? (any names for research purpose) -Would love to hear all possibilities

Thanks so much in advance!

Why do the Carribean Islands lack good hurricane protection when they're located in the danger zone?

Posted: 11 Sep 2017 03:36 AM PDT

I'm not sure if protective infrastructure is really present, but they're clearly not working now, considering the vast devastation of Antigua and Barbuda.

Do people who are paralyzed from the waist down still feel when they have to pee?

Just out of general curiosity, I hope I don't come off as offensive or arrogant.

Travelling in space and the smell. How have engineers conquered the smellier aspect of people living in a sealed container?

Posted: 10 Sep 2017 07:34 AM PDT

Apollo 8 returned from its circumnavigation of the moon. When the rescue diver opened the door of the command module, he nearly wretched due to the smell emanating from Frank Borman, Jim Luvell, and Bill Anders.

That was only after 6 days and some change in space.

With astronauts being aboard the ISS for a year or more, how are the more smellier aspects of human life handled by on board systems?

The more advanced waste facility obviously has a lot do with it. However, as we all know, not all human out gassing occurs during waste elimination. Not to mention natural body odor of each person.

How have engineers managed this aspect of space flight?

When, approximately, will we have the first functioning fusion reactors?

Posted: 10 Sep 2017 01:08 PM PDT

I just searched trough the subreddit but I haven't found a consistent approximation. But I must say that all the questions concerning nuclear fusion reactors are much more sophisticated than mine ;)

If matter and Energy are two sides of the same coin, and we have real life examples of matter converting to energy all the time (chemical reactions), do we have any naturally occurring examples where energy is converted to matter?

Posted: 10 Sep 2017 07:56 AM PDT

I understand that the The Large Hadron Collider at CERN would be an example, but it's man made. Until the LHC, did we have any natural examples of such change?
