Meaning, any permanent changes that persist even after stopping?

How do modern laundry detergents compare to ones from 25 or 50 years ago?

Posted: 11 Nov 2017 04:36 AM PST

With most laundry detergents today advertising new and better formulas all the time, how much progress has there really been in the long term? Is it a lot easier to get clothes clean and stain-free today than it was, for example, in the sixties or the eighties?

The reason I'm asking, is that I rarely see any unremovable stains or other problems with my clothes after a single wash in a 40C cycle - perhaps I see a problematic stain only once or twice a year. (This is with the exception of old clothes I use for yard work or car repair, which I don't expect to get clean at all). Yet, all the ads make it seem like stains are a huge issue - so is this just marketing BS, or is it something that would have been the case some time ago?

How does one read information from qubits?

Posted: 11 Nov 2017 05:57 AM PST

When the qubits are being read by the outside world, they would collapse - how do we make sure they collapse so that the information is accurate?

How can natural gas combustion produce CO?

Posted: 11 Nov 2017 05:46 AM PST

I've read that natural gas burning furnaces can cause CO poisoning if the gas improperly vented or combusted. But I lived in a flat with an unvented gas heater for years and never experienced symptoms of poisoning. Could it be that the flat was too drafty?

If so, can we calculate by how much, or after how many years it will become noticeable?

How does brain decide which memory to keep and make it easy to access?

Posted: 10 Nov 2017 05:13 PM PST

I have watched the movie Seven only once, and it was like 10 years ago or so, and I can recall the first 10 minutes of the movie crystal clear, every word of every sentence. On the other hand when someone asks me about my father's birthday, I need to actively think to remember it. On subconscious level, my father should mean a lot more to me because he is and has been a big part of my life. So why do I remember dialogues perfectly in a heartbeat, from a movie I've watched 10+ years ago which is not even in my top 50, while I need to think for couple of seconds to remember my father's birthday?

Why are London Dispersion Forces called dispersion forces?

Posted: 11 Nov 2017 01:04 AM PST

To disperse means to spread, so why are attractive forces named after something that seems to be opposite to what they do?

What voltage does the human body use to control muscles?

Posted: 10 Nov 2017 04:33 PM PST

As most people know the human body uses electricity to control muscle movement through contraction.

I was wondering what voltage is actually used if at all comparable and just how similar the mechanism the human body uses are to the mechanism of electricity of a house and such

Is there a real threat to wasting water besides the money it cost?

Posted: 11 Nov 2017 04:47 AM PST

As kids they warned us about wasting water, but wouldn't running a lot of clean water down the drain help the sewage system by diluting the dirty water?

Does fusion occurs to some atoms in Jupiter/saturn due to Quantum tunnelling effect?

Posted: 10 Nov 2017 06:53 PM PST

Is there any other factor contributes to fusion other than quantum tunnelling?

Do quantum tunneling probability increases with temperature/pressure?
