How does Jupiter have an asymmetrical gravitational field?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 05:45 AM PST

In a recent Guardian article it mentioned that Jupiter has a core of mostly hydrogen and helium that's 96% of the planet (didn't say by volume or mass) but also mentioned in passing that the planets gravitational field was "surprisingly asymmetrical" without providing any further details. How could a core that is presumably fairly homogeneous produce such a field?

If you were on a circular space station that was spinning so that it produced artificial gravity, and you ran opposite to the spin at the same speed would you still feel the affect of the artificial gravity?

Is there such a thing as a "fourth generation quarks or leptons?"

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 12:14 AM PST

Are they possible to make and just have extremely short lifespans or is the third generation of top quarks, bottom quarks, taus and tau neutrinos has heavy as quarks and leptons can possibly get?

How do we know that all life shares a common ancestor?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 10:45 PM PST

I understand that there are many similarities in the genomes of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. But there is no denying the huge differences between them. Isn't it also likely that the similarities could be due to a combination of natural selection and conservation of energy?

What are these particle/interaction diagrams called?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 07:25 AM PST

Example: http://deferentialgeometry.org/epe/epe8/

Do they have a name? (Like Feynman diagrams are called such)

Also used a lot on Wikipedia to visually present various groups related to particle physics models (such as GUTs, QCD, electroweak etc...).

I feel like this should be a simple thing to find out, but I can't for the life of me seem to find an answer.

Do babies know they’re learning/developing skills? Do they realize they weren’t able to do “X” before and now they can?

How do electrons retain their kinetic energy when looped indefinitely in a latch-circuit?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 02:48 AM PST

From what I understand, if there is a flow of electrons through a transistor, we regard this as the 'one' state, and if there is a lack of current, then we regard this as the 'zero' state.

 

However, in certain computer circuits, such as latches, data can be stored permanently by looping an output wire back into the input of the circuit. For instance, in an AND-OR Latch, you could store a value of 'one' by inputting S as 'one' and R as 'zero' and then changing S to 'zero' as well. But how is this 'one' value (implying current) retained in the circuit indefinitely when both of its inputs have been set to 'zero' (no current input)? Wouldn't the electrons flowing in the wire eventually lose their kinetic energy to the wire's resistance and destroy the value stored in the circuit?

 

In a similar vein, how can a NOT-gate output a current designating a value of 'one' when it is not inputted with energy/current ('zero' value input) in the first place? Where does this energy/current originate from?

Why are cooking pots and pans black ?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 04:49 AM PST

Like why are there no pots or pans that are colored white? I understand they are made of metal but why. Is it because black absorbs and radiates more heat? I'm doing a project on solar cookers and I need to decide whether my bowl should be normal aluminum or aluminum painted black

How do anthropologists know how the nose and lips look like from a skull?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 02:37 PM PST

I was watching an episode of Nova about the first Native Americans and they had found a 16-year-old girl's bones from the ice age I believe. In the end, they showed the reconstruction of that one along with a male and the noses are so awkward looking. How can they know from a skull what kind of nose and lips someone had?

How does dna translate to physical attributes?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 07:37 AM PST

How does the body use the information stored in dna to function? For instance, how does the body know that the combination aactgc mean red hair?

How is it that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn language? What happens to our brains as we get older that makes learning language more difficult?

What is the "science" word for oscillation in a system stemming from overcompensation because of system inertia / measurement lag?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 12:11 AM PST

For example the raising of temperature

Are there two different concepts of Entropy? Or how are these things related?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 07:58 PM PST

I understand that Entropy can be representative of the number of configurations atoms in some sort of system can have. I also understand that it is sort of the opposite of potential energy, energy that is unable to do mechanical work. What I don't understand if both of these concepts are for two separate things under the same Entropy name or if they are describing the same concept. I want to understand how "randomness" of system configurations relates at all to energy being unable to do work. I'm just not sure how these two things are connected (if they even are). Thanks.

How do spiders and other insects die(?) during the winter and come back in the spring?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 12:49 AM PST

I live in Michigan and haven't seen a bug all winter. Its warming up and I'm seeing them inside again. How does this work? Do they die? Whats going on here?

Why can't a charged object be approximated by a point charge at the object's "center of charge"?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 04:36 PM PST

When we were learning about gravity in Physics, we learned that an object can be treated as if all of its mass is concentrated at its center of mass. Since gravity and electromagnetism are both inverse square laws, why can't we treat charge this way as well?

How are microwaves considered safe as soon as you open the door? Does the radiation "disappear"?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 08:58 AM PST

This is just a question that popped in my brain so excuse my science virginity. Hell, I dont even know if I can word this right.

You microwave some food. Does the radiation transfer directly to the food to heat up? When you open the microwave door, there obviously isn't enough radiation in the chamber of the microwave to be considered unsafe, nor is the microwave even any shade of warmer than the air outside of it, so is it a direct transfer of energy where there's no radiation lingering around that wasn't used for heating your food when you opened the door, or do they sort of "disappear" really quickly due to their size?

Are animals right or left handed like humans?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 04:49 PM PST

At least at a "less level"? Plus, does the left brain's hemisphere controls the right part of the body, and viceversa?
