- In searching for Earth-like exoplanets, what is considered the acceptable limits of the planet's characteristics for human habitation i.e. Earth's surface gravity +/-10%, temperature range, atmospheric pressure/composition, orbital radius, etc.?

- Can particle spin exist in a 2D universe?
- Do each ring on trees actually signify a year or does the amount of time vary? Do the differences in color signify weather changes?

- Wide hips are considered a sign of fertility and ease of birth - do we have any evidence to support this?
- Is there any turbulence in space that affects the Earth, like turbulence that affects planes?

- What is Meant by Changing Particle State Remotely?
- Scientific Papers claim that there is a "critical period" for the brain where further development, such as trying to learn a language fluently, after this period is made more difficult/impossible. Does this mean we can only strengthen neural connections rather than create new ones?

| On high traffic network cables, are packets overlapping? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 06:08 AM PST I can imagine how a single network packet is sent over a network cable, but I am very confused as to what happens when two computers send a packet at the exact same time over a shared network cable. Is there a queue system that waits for other packets or do computers just send packets without considering overlapping? And do modems connect to the ISP using one shared cable or does every house have it's own direct cable? [link] [comments]  |

| What happens to our brain during anesthesia? Posted: 24 Jan 2018 12:13 PM PST I'm mainly curious about how do we induce the sleep by anesthesia - or is it even considered sleep? How can one be awaken while under the effect? How do we not feel anything? [link] [comments]  |

| What is Meant by Changing Particle State Remotely? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 05:00 AM PST Apologies for the very poor title but I don't know how else to describe my question. I read an article on an inflight magazine about the advancement of microprocessor technology where it very superficially made the following statement, which I cannot begin to understand: "Scientists have had a breakthrough where the state of a single particle housed in a satellite orbiting earth at an altitude of 2,000km was remotely changed from the ground." I appreciate that this statement is grossly simplified for mass consumption, but what on earth does it actually mean? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2018 06:02 PM PST Thanks for the help! edit: This seems to be countered by the discovery "neuroplasticity", so what is the current scientific consensus and is there any good research I can read into? [link] [comments]  |
