Does the order in which you eat your foods have any effect on nutrition or digestion?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 05:05 PM PST

Say, for instance, I eat my dessert first before my meal. Would this have any alternate effect on my body than it would eating them the other way around?

What happens if we shoot an antiproton at a heavy element atom?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 01:08 PM PST

Would we create an atom of the element below it in the periodic table or would the energy of the annihilation be enough to blow the nucleus into smaller bits?

How are Calcium(+2) ions able to form ionic bonds with 4 atoms at once?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 08:00 PM PST

How would this affect the overall charge of the molecule? I understand that calcium has a +2 charge, but when observed in structures such as calcium hydroxyapatite, it is able to bind to up to 4 oxygen atoms. Similarly, other alkaline metals such as Magnesium(+2) are able to bind to EDTA with the same 4 bonds occurring. HOW???

What would happen to the LHC if there was an earthquake in Geneva?

There are infinite regular 2 dimensional polygons. There are a handful of regular 3 dimensional polyhedrons. Are there regular shapes in 4 dimensions? In higher dimensions? How many?

How do coatings on solar cells increase the efficiency of the solar panel?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 06:28 PM PST

If you have a coating with a specific index of refraction and then some sort of silicon cell with another index, how does the efficiency of the solar cell increase? I know that you generate different reflection coefficients, but how does minimizing the reflection coefficient actually increase the energy in the cell? Isn't the energy already being reflected away from the solar cell?

Over time, do the wavefunctions of the electrons in our human bodies oscillate (not particle spin, but the actual wavefunction) like standing waves?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 04:09 PM PST

I'm visualizing the electrons of atoms that constitute part of our human bodes as wavefunctions that each looks like a 3D cloud of a probability density function. At each spatial-temporal point <x,y,z, t> (I know this signature is somewhat inaccurate) there is an intensity/probability-density associated with observing the particle there.

My question is whether the described probability cloud of the electron shell of an atom changes radically from one moment to another? In other words, suppose you take a cross section heatmap-screenshot right through the "center" (mean intensity point of the wavefunction) a time t0, and then take a screenshot of the same cross section with reference to the particle's center (so, it doesn't matter if the human moves slightly) at t1>t0, does the wave function look the same? If no, what is the frequency and what does it depend on?

The reason I'm asking is because I remember reading about standing waves in the context of quantum mechanics many years ago and because I also heard the expression time-dependent Schroedinger equation.

Solar panels, in layman's terms, absorb sunlight and convert it into usable energy. Does that mean that solar panels can also absorb nuclear energy emitted in a radioactive environment?

This is not hypothetical. It may sound like that, but my intention is different.

Why does the electron's charge stay constant even under relativistic velocities?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 08:43 AM PST

After looking up the question on google it seems all experiments show that the charge of an electron is independent from its velocity. Is there a mathematical background or theory why this is the case? What would happen if it did change like mass does at relativistic velocities?

What spectrum of light do lightbulbs emit?

The sun emits the full spectrum. What spectrum of that do led and common lightbulbs emit?

Can someone explain conformal gravity to me?

Posted: 05 Nov 2017 11:34 AM PST

I've tried searching online, but I haven't found anything that explains it in a way I can understand.
