| Can a planet have more than 4 seasons? Posted: 08 Dec 2017 05:03 PM PST After all, if the seasons are caused by tilt rather than changing distance from the home star (how it is on Earth), then why is it divided into 4 sections of what is likely 90 degree sections? Why not 5 at 72, 6 at 60, or maybe even 3 at 120? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 04:36 AM PST I know there are different pitches of threads, but almost all screws follow the "righty tighty, lefty loosy" rule. When was that standardized and how did all different countries adapt that? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 07:36 AM PST there is an article today in the WSJ suggesting typical 40-60 percent effectiveness, though effectiveness isn't really defined. anyway articles always comment that the reason it is hard to be higher in effectiveness is that the makers of the shots need to guess which strain to protect against. is it too hard to culture or grow all the strains? too hard to fit into a shot? too hard for the immune system to build defenses against multiples, in that it would make you sick? too hard for the body to maintain that many immunities at once if built? what gives?

| Why does the posterior aspect of the tongue contain special sensory innervation but has no papillae? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 05:33 AM PST We are taught that we have no papillae or taste buds on the posterior 1/3 of the tongue. My question is why do we still have a special sensation innervation there too by the glossopharyngeal nerve. Do we still have taste buds there too but they are so little in number we deem them insignificant? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a happiness/depression cycle that isn't bipolar disorder? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 03:34 AM PST I'm trying to find what else has a sort of happiness/depression cycle, but the only thing I can find is sites like WebMD saying shit like "You have bipolar disorder and cancer!" which is obviously very helpful and in no way frustrating beyond belief.

| Can you contain a piece of plasma? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 04:00 AM PST I have been wondering if you could contain a piece of plasma with magnets or another kind of apparatus contain plasma [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:23 PM PST Hello! I coincidentally stumbled upon this fact a little while ago, and it's been bugging me ever since. I haven't been able to find any information about why this is true, but seeing as these are quite significant numbers, I'd be surprised if it was just by chance. Is there any known reason for why this is the case? [link] [comments]  |
| What kinds of paint would you use on a spaceship, and why? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 12:51 AM PST For instance, I've just come across a Nov. 2015 article that talks about a highly reflective metallic paint that will help with both keeping heat inside the ship in vacuum, and outside the ship while in atmospheric entry. I've also heard from somewhere that black radiators are notable somehow. Are there any kinds of paint that might be better than that paint in various situations, and what reasons are there for military ships to not to be surfaced purely with Vantablack, as an example?

| Why is the exchange energy in magnets positive instead of negative? Posted: 08 Dec 2017 01:28 PM PST So we know that for ferromagnets (materials with mu>>1) there are two principles at work. The pauli exclusion principle and coulomb's law. The pauli exclusion tells us that the probability of two similar spin electrons in the same state is very low. So it makes sense that a neighboring nuclei having the same spin is better than having the two electrons be in the same space. However, I imagine that instead having the opposite spin state in a neighboring nuclei would lower the local potential. And still make pauli exclusion valid. Since Coulomb's law tells us that it's easier to have electrons not next to each other. Why wouldn't the neighboring states not just alternate spins? Because I read that exchange energy = electric energy - magnetic energy. & that being positive makes for super magnets, but wouldn't them being negative make super magnets instead? I couldn't find this on the search function, probably because I'm on mobile. Sorry and that's in advance Edit: spelling [link] [comments]  |

| What are the effects of extrasolar star light on plants on Earth? Posted: 08 Dec 2017 11:05 PM PST Long-exposure astrophotography shots show the light of far-off stars and even whole galaxies. But have we ever studied the effects of these lights on plants? Is it possible for plants to harness light from other stars? [link] [comments]  |

| Is this a provable concept using today's mathematics? Posted: 08 Dec 2017 10:00 AM PST Pi and other irrational numbers have an infinite number of digits. Does this mean that they can be infinitely repeating sets of infinite digits? pi=3.14159... so after an infinite number of digits isn't it possible (maybe even probable) that the set of infinite digits repeats? pi=3.14159...(infinite number of irrational digits)...314159...(same digits as the first set of infinite digits)... If that is the case, we can say that: pi=3.14159...314159...314159...(and so forth an infinite number of times)... [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2017 02:04 PM PST I understand (somewhat) how logic gates and basic programming work to store information, but how does information get physically "burned" or imprinted into metal? For example, how does a hard drive semi-permanently change its physiology to store data so that it can be read and then deleted or changed later? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 Dec 2017 01:24 PM PST I don't understand how I can cook and eat Brussels's sprouts and lettuce and all that, but can't cook and eat grass, corn husks, tree leaves, and other things, as long as I cook them enough, besides the ones that are known to have poisonous/allergy inducing compounds. Like, if they are all planted in the same soil, wouldn't my grass and tree leaves be just as good as my spinach? [link] [comments]  |
