| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 05:27 PM PDT I can tell the difference between something being loud and far away and it being close and quiet, even though they have the same "perceived volume." My question is analogous to how we can tell when something is big and far away vs close and small, even though they appear the same size to us. [link] [comments]  |
| How big is the average rock in Saturns rings? And how far apart are they from each other? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:17 PM PDT Couldn't find the answer in google so might as well try here. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Mar 2018 05:33 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm here to talk about science and experiences associated with being a scientist from varying backgrounds. You can learn more about me and the different things I do here. I'm here to answer questions with help from Atlas Obscura. Some fun facts about me: (1) I'm working on my PhD at the University of California, Merced. Where is that, is it even a place? Yes, and it's awesome! (2) My PhD thesis question inquires about the interactions between microbes and their venomous hosts, because why not? (3) This is done through the Quantitative & Systems Biology program at UC Merced. What do those words even mean? (4) I grew up in Utah, have lived all over the states, learned a few languages in the process, and now do a combo of diving and computer programming for my work which is all pretty rad. Increasingly stoked about life every day and looking forward to getting to virtually know you all and answering your science-y questions. See you at noon (ET, 16 UT), cheers! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2018 06:04 AM PDT Escherichia coli bacteria can be used to create a wide variety of therpeutic drugs and hormones. Such as human insulin and human growth hormone. Adeno-associated viruses can be used as vectors to deliver repaired strands of DNA to at least inside of cells. There, corrected RNA makes functional proteines wherever possible. However, the size of the adeno-associated viruses limits the size of the transcripted DNA to be inserted. How is not possible to use bacterial recombinant DNA to be inserted and to make corrected proteines inside cells? I ask because I have family member who has a genetic disorder and I hope some day that problem gets solved through something like this. [link] [comments]  |

| Whenever plastics do degrade, what do they degrade INTO? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:03 PM PDT Since they've discovered that new bacteria that breaks down plastic, what kind of chemicals are left behind? There are thousands of tons of plastic in the oceans alone, and since microplastics are already apparently in 88% of the world's tap water...whatever plastics break down into is going to be absolutely permeating our world.

| Does WiFi always travel in a straight line? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:44 PM PDT Let's say I have a wifi router , and a phone connecting to this wifi - and the phone/router are separated by a glass wall. Will the wifi signal go around the glass wall? Or will it go straight through? [link] [comments]  |
| Why we still have our magmatic field but mars lost it? Posted: 12 Mar 2018 05:15 AM PDT Does it have to do with our moon? That's the only major difference I could think about between the two planets

| Does the observed state of a particle at a given time affect future evolutions in its wave function? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:07 AM PDT I'm struggling to reconcile the physical and mathematical interpretations of the evolution of quantum particles. If an individual particle can be observed in a random (but predictable) state, does this observed state affect the probability of it being found in a given future state? If so, how can the properties of the wave function evolve deterministically? [link] [comments]  |
| Why haven't we come up with other ways of generating power instead of turbines? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:48 PM PDT Aside from solar and maybe a few i havent heard of, all the power generation relies on spinning a coil. Heck even nuclear is heating up water to spin a turbine. Why haven't we come up with a new method in all this time? [link] [comments]  |
| For telescopes what are the pro / cons of hexagonal vs circle mirrors ? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:20 AM PDT The future 39m European telescope EELT is made with hundreds of 1m hexagonal mirrors. The future 26m Magellan Giant Telescope is made of 7 round Mirror, 8.4m wide. Intuitively I'd say the first option is easier to deal with defects in mirrors and has a better coverage. What are the pro / cons of those two techniques ? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do earthquakes hover over certain places for weeks at a time? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:46 PM PDT I check the earthquake maps almost daily, and Puerto Rico and New Guinea have had at least 3 earthquakes within the past day for a trend of 2-3 weeks, usually at least one above magnitude 3. California is starting the said trend too, as the entire fault line has earthquakes above magnitude 3 on it. [link] [comments]  |
| what is the chemical concept behind the disintegration process of medicinal capsules? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:22 PM PDT I know that basically there are three types of medicinal capsules: hard gelatinous capsules, softgel capsules and plant derived capsules. I also know that the capsules primarily dissolve due to hydrophobic interactions and change in Ph within varies organs of the body. What i wish to know are: 1) What are the chemical compositions of the various types of capsules? 2) What is the manufacturing process of such capsules? 3) Are there any minor or major drawbacks regarding consumption of capsules? 4) What are the various chemical reactions behind the dissolving/disintegration process of the capsules? THANKS IN ADVANCE TO THOSE READY TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND PS. I need the info to conduct a small seminar within my class [link] [comments]  |
| Can Fusion lead to induced Fission? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 01:16 PM PDT Can the neutron produced from nuclear fusion go on to cause induced fission? and if not why? [link] [comments]  |
