| Is there a minimum to the distance we can move in the universe? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 03:22 PM PDT Similar to how on a computer screen you can't move less than one pixel at a time, is there a limit like that? Is it the Planck length? [link] [comments]  |
| What exactly does a lobotomy do? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 09:46 AM PDT I understand the basic concept behind a lobotomy, but I'm not sure what it severs inside your head, how that would affect a person, and wether or not this person would be self sufficient. How would it affect their day to day life, and what is it like inside the mind of a lobotomised person? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2018 11:16 PM PDT I can't tell if this is like why you can't tell absolute position and velocity, I could see that just being another way of saying that they are "fuzzy" in time as well. [link] [comments]  |
| What does it mean to say that an animal can see polarised light? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 08:19 PM PDT Can humans see polarised light? Is polarised light invisible to some animals, but not to others? Or som animals can see the difference between polarised and non-polarised light? [link] [comments]  |

| How do doctors determine that rabies can incubate for 9 years? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 08:57 PM PDT I don't see how it can be accurate? Maybe it was acquired sooner? [link] [comments]  |
| How are organ transplant even possible? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 04:46 PM PDT I thought that our MHC and HLA cells would immediately detect that the organ and tissue is foreign and proceed to attack it. Is there a sort of threshold of similarity for these cells to not attack the transplanted organ? [link] [comments]  |

| Is there dielectric breakdown in a liquid? What are the effects of the breakdown on it? Posted: 09 Apr 2018 05:23 AM PDT If a solid undergoes dielectric breakdown, I've read it permanently damages the solid usually, and for a gas, it ionizes the gas but doesn't "damage it". What about for a liquid? [link] [comments]  |

| Does heat energy have "momentum"? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 10:18 PM PDT If I were heating an object and took away the energy source before it reached max temp, would the temperature of the object continue to increase for a small amount of time, sort of like a "heat momentum"? [link] [comments]  |

| Is our weather being influenced by the most recent solar cycle? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 12:09 PM PDT It now seems without a doubt that Earth is experiencing an uptick of extreme weather events, typically oriented with warming weather (climate change). https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2017/01/18/hottest-year-on-record/96713338/ However, within the past several months, my region of the planet - northeastern United States - has actually been cooler than normal, and a series of significant winter storms has raged through. https://weather.com/forecast/national/news/2018-02-14-spring-2018-temperature-outlook-march-april-may-the-weather , and https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/2018-03-11-winter-storm-skylar-appalachians-northeast-snow-coastal-storm I've noticed a possible correlation in that the sun is fading into its solar minim, reducing its energetic output slightly (in terms of solar flares and CME's). https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/news-articles/solar-minimum-is-coming , and https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/rind_03/ Are these events connected? When the sun next ramps up a few years' down the road, is it conceivable that global warming will again accelerate? [EDIT - added links] [link] [comments]  |
| How does temperature sensing in humans work? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 02:07 PM PDT Well, I know there are temperature receptors on the skin, but exactly how do they convert the temperature to a signal the brain can interpret? [link] [comments]  |

| What does it mean to say, "We share X% of DNA with Y"? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 09:06 AM PDT Inspired by the recent press coverage of David Reich's work, I have grown very confused on the seemingly contradictory comparisons of genetic similarity In this guardian piece he is quoted saying, "Non-African genomes today are 1.5-2.1% Neanderthal in origin". But in the field of behavioral genetics (e.g. 23andMe) they outline how identical twins share 100% of DNA, siblings share 50% of DNA, etc. etc. down to 4th cousins sharing 0.2% of DNA. Similarly, it is commonly noted that humans share ~98.5% of our DNA with chimps and that two individual humans share 99.9% of our DNA. (Scientific American article that mentions this) Hopefully my confusion is clear. But to ask a more explicit question - How are these percentages calculated across species? Is there is a different calculation for ancestral similarity? What does it mean to be genetically similar? Same genes? The genes are X% similar? As much detail as possible is appreciated. Thanks for your time. [link] [comments]  |
| How does electric field behave at great distances? Posted: 08 Apr 2018 11:42 AM PDT Specifically, I am interested in whether a test charge is attracted to where an opposite charge is or to the place it will be. I have seen other questions about the behavior of the gravitational field at great distances. In that case, if a very distant mass is accelerated quickly, when the gravitons reach the local test mass, the local test mass will accelerate not in the direction of the distant mass, but in the direction that the distant mass would be, should it continue it's path. My question is whether the electromagnetic force behaves in the same way. [link] [comments]  |
