Does the temperature of air effect the distance sound can travel?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:04 AM PST

Hey there, I was wondering if the temperature of the surrounding air (the movement of the single air particle) has an effect on how far sound can travel. Does it travel further when the air is warm (air particles move faster)? Thanks for the help

Since the W and Z bosons that mediate the weak force are not massless, does that mean that the weak force does not propagate at light speed?

Are there any computer animations of what a supernova would actually look like in real life? What would it look like?

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:37 PM PST

Most animations, movies, etc depict supernova as just really big explosions that happen quickly. If you were close to the supernova, but have it still be in your field of view (and let's pretend you can't die, and that your eyes can handle it), wouldn't it appear to expand very slowly (due to speed of light limitations)? Would there be any red/blue shifting effects from the explosion on one side going away from you and on the other side coming towards you? What would an accurate animation actually look like?

Why is the molten salt fueled reactor always associated with thorium? Is thorium more suited for MSFRs than uranium?

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:24 PM PST

Every time I read about the advantages of the thorium fuel cycle, many of the advantages are not of thorium directly, but those of using a molten salt reactor. So if molten salt fueled reactors can be used for uranium, why is thorium synonymous with it?

Why would all the land mass be in on one part of the earth (Pangaea) when it first formed?

I understand that evidence indicates that all continents were once a super continent, but why would all the elevation on the earth crust only raise above sea level one one area? Isn't the earth super smooth for its size, wouldn't this lead to a more even distribution of land on the globe?

Why are OLED pixels different from LCD pixels?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:08 AM PST

Edit:I meant the shape of the pixels,the OLED ones tend to be rather roundish while the LCD ones seem to be vertical

How does a cell "know" when to produce a protein?

Are the cells comprising the liver homogeneous across the entire organ, or are there functional differences from section to section?

What are drinkable levels of salt in water? How do you measure the concentration of sodium chloride in water?

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:16 PM PST

So basically I'm doing an experiment using electrodialysis to purify water. Was wondering what are drinkable concentrations of sodium chloride in water (molarities) and how to measure the concentration of sodium chloride in water? I've seen stuff about measuring the amount of resistance in the water since that would have a relationship to the amount of salt in the water due to the dipoles.
