Is there a triple-point with plasma? Normally it is with solid, liquid, and gas, but is there one with, say, liquid, gas, and plasma?

If a website is able to grade your password as you’re typing it, doesn’t that mean that it’s getting stored in plain text at some point on the server?

What's to stop a Spectre type attack from getting your password at that time?

Do objects other than black holes emit Hawking radiation?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 06:23 AM PDT

Why just black holes? Does it suddenly stop after it's not a black hole anymore? What happens then anyway?

What is happening when we randomly lose slight hearing in one ear and hear a loud ringing sound in it for a few seconds before the ringing fades away?

Surgeons, how do you decide which scalpel blade to use?

Posted: 10 Apr 2018 11:57 AM PDT

Just curious--I'm a resident in internal medicine but I've only ever used 11 blades and 22 blades. (Plus I've never had to actually make a choice--whenever I've been in a situation where I needed a scalpel, one was handed to me and I went with it.)

What's the deal with optimum fuel efficiency at 55 mph?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 05:58 AM PDT

It's a commonly held belief that your vehicle is most fuel efficient at 55 miles per hour. To such an extent that in the fuel crisis of the 70s it was mandated that all highways have a mandatory speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Is it true that your vehicle is most efficient at 55 miles per hour? If it is true, what makes this number special; is it an Act of engineering? Or something about the physics around that speed that has something to do with wind resistance?

Thanks in advance.

Do scientists periodically recalculate the distance of the Earth from the sun, time of one complete rotation and time of one complete revolution?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 03:16 AM PDT

Is it possible that the rotation and revolution of the Earth and distance to the Earth can change, resulting in a multitude of changes, particularly climate and our definitions of temporal measurements?

Do deaf people who sign have the same speech errors as voice talkers such as stuttering, words stuck on the "tip of their tounge," mashing two words together, etc?

What does Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle mean for forces created by particles?

Let's say I cool down a proton as much as I can. Since I know it's momentum extremely well, I don't know it's position.

If I shoot an electron through the proton's possible positions, will it be attracted by the proton? Will it be attracted less? What happens if they bond?

Solitary confinement: from a neurosci or evolutionary perspective, what change does it cause and how much stimulation is needed to ward off the harm?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 02:09 AM PDT

So there are no shortage of articles describing the behavioral changes brought on by SC.

But why are those changes brought about? From an evolutionary standpoint doesn't that stand out as a weird and glaring weakness? Wouldn't it be normal for us as a species to, at least intermittently, face medium to long periods of stimuli deprivation? That a being can be brought to madness from a simple lack of stimulation, seems strange doesn't it? You can easily refute that by saying "yes, but SC is actually quite elaborate, one has to be completely deprived to suffer the symptoms." But is that the case?

Example: is there a significant difference of effect between someone in SC with only a bed, a toilet, and a sink, versus someone with that plus an interesting book, a radio, or an interactive board game? In other words, just how much stimulation does a person need to avoid those negative affects? What if someone is dropped into a forest alone with nothing but a tent and food for a week and they can't wonder off because they don't know their location? Would they suffer the same symptoms?

Do we know specifically from neurological study where that line is between a dangerous lack of stimulation and just enough to remain sane?

What makes a given Surface, (i.e. the edge of a knife) 'sharp compared to another surface made of the same material?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 02:05 AM PDT

I know that the answer revolves around force being exerted through a much smaller surface areal, in the case of a knife's blade, but I've never really cleared up, whether that's the entire story.

If a galaxy cluster’s overall gravity overrides universal expansion allowing galaxies to collide, will a cluster eventually become one giant galaxy? If so, will all galaxies in the universe eventually merge into one?

Leakage of plasma due to vascular permeability in inflammation - only at venules?

Posted: 11 Apr 2018 05:18 AM PDT

I'm curious why the movement/leakage of plasma through the endothelium during acute inflammation only occurs at the post-capillary venules. Why can't leakage also occur at the capillaries, which are similarly porous?

One pathology textbook I've looked at states that the venules are the primary sight of plasma leakage, and a university web/infopage implies that the process occurs almost exclusively at the venules.
