| Why does powdered sugar taste different from granulated sugar? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 06:02 AM PST Is it just beacuse one has more sugar molecules per cubic unit or does it have something to do with our taste buds? [link] [comments]  |
| Does the placebo effect work in the opposite direction? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:10 AM PST If someone is convinced a treatment/medicine will not work on them, even though there is strong evidence to support its efficacy, will that affect the patient's physiological reaction to the treatment/medicine?

| Does evaporation begin instantly and happen continuously? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:14 AM PST When I pour myself a glass of water, does it immediately begin evaporating and continue evaporating until it's all gone? [link] [comments]  |
| How did trilobite calcite eyes work? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:54 PM PST I was astounded to hear that trilobites had eyes made of calcite? How did they differ in construction and ability from the eye types we commonly see today? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there and what is the evidence for QFT(QED eg) or string theory? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:22 AM PST What does that evidence confirm? What are we certain about that is happening since there are also things theorized. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Voyager 1's distance from Earth dropping? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 04:53 PM PST https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/ If you look at the official tracker by NASA (as of now), Voyager 1 seems to be losing distance from Earth. Why is this? [link] [comments]  |
| What effect do volcanic eruptions have on climate? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 06:24 AM PST I often hear people say two different things about volcanic eruptions, either "ash bloked sunlight causing global cooling" or "excess carbon dioxide from eruptions trapped heat causing the planet to get hotter."

| What is a magnetic field flip? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 07:49 AM PST So like i read about the magnetic poles flipping and we could like lose alot of stuff because of it? What are the chances that it happens soon and will I die from it? I just got really spooked about it and now I'm worried, alot. [link] [comments]  |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Posted: 31 Jan 2018 07:07 AM PST Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments]  |
| Why did the recent lunar eclipse shadow not pass straight across the moon? Posted: 31 Jan 2018 06:42 AM PST The last sliver of moon disappeared from the top right. The first sliver of moon appeared an hour later from the bottom right. Seems to me it should have been the bottom left. How does that work? [link] [comments]  |
| Why does ice on distant asteroids and planets remain solid instead of sublimating into a gas? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 07:06 PM PST The New Horizons probe showed us ice plains on Pluto, and we know that asteroids also contain ice. I understand that these places are very cold, but they still receive some light from the sun. Why hasn't all of the extraterrestrial ice on bodies without atmospheres completely sublimated away?

| Posted: 30 Jan 2018 07:55 PM PST If the 'box' was open ended, and the box was either moving through the air or air was being pumped through it at a rate that made the birds glide under no power, would the weight of the box change? I've been talking to people about this for a bit now, and ground effect, closed vs open system are making this tougher to reason than I thought. Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any animals that don’t sleep? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:45 PM PST I would think some animals with essentially no consciousness don't need sleep (jellyfish, barnacles, etc.). Are there any more self aware animals that never sleep? [link] [comments]  |
| What are the strands of DNA suspended in within your cell nuclei? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 10:54 PM PST In illustrations of DNA strands, they appear to be floating around with space between strands. What exists between these strands ? Is it empty space or a solution of something ? [link] [comments]  |
| Why does adding baking soda to a reduction of water and red cabbage cause the liquid to turn blue? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:32 PM PST Hey askscience, I am making some food coloring at home, and the recipe called for boiling red cabbage in water, then separating the liquid and adding baking soda until it reaches the desired blue color. My question is, in terms of the chemistry, why does this happen? What causes the cabbage/water solution to go from a deep reddish-purple to blue? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Is donated blood cleared of hormones? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 05:44 PM PST So when a man gives blood, is there testosterone in his blood that is passed on to the recipient? Same for female hormones. Could someone who needs regular transfusions like a cancer or hemophilia patient end up manifesting second sex characteristics of the other sex based on the hormones in the blood they receive? It would have to be a lot, and very often, though, right? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Jan 2018 02:06 AM PST I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about quantum mechanics and he was lead to believe that you can physically observe a piece of matter in the universe, specifically a space ship disappear and reappear somewhere else using the quantum theory. (i'm a novice on this subject) I think I understand that quantum mechanics states that an object can be in multiple places at the same time but when we observe the said object it only appear in one place. So is it possible for an object to be observed disappearing and reappearing in a different place? [link] [comments]  |
