- How long does it take for nuclear waste to cool?

- How "tall" is the Milky Way?
- At what rate do proton collisions occur/get detected at LHC?
- Why are race tires so wide?
- A photon is the smallest unit of the electromagnetic field and can't be divided, however, the energy of that photon can be arbitrarily small. So then what classifies a photon?
| If I wanted to set Titan on fire, what would I have to do and what would the end result be like? Posted: 15 Jun 2018 07:16 PM PDT Obviously you can't just light a match, you'd have to bring in a lot of oxygen before you could get the methane to combust. How much would I need? Given that the atmosphere is 98.4% nitrogen, would it even be possible to do, even with the addition of a massive amount of oxygen? What would the effects be, and what would be left afterward? Silly question, but I'm curious. [link] [comments]  |
| How long does it take for nuclear waste to cool? Posted: 16 Jun 2018 12:02 AM PDT On the internet I find answers varying from 5, 10 to even 30 years or longer concerning cooling "exhausted" nuclear fuels and waste. How is this calculated or estimated? When reading about the Elephant's foot (Chernobyl disaster) I read from several sources that the radioactive mass still releases heat and (obviously) high radioactivity. How can it be that something that happened more than 30 years ago still releases such high temperatures? Is heat always present with radioactive material? [link] [comments]  |
| Does the Strong force have an equivalent Schwarzschild radius? Posted: 16 Jun 2018 04:52 AM PDT I'm not sure how to properly ask this but upon reading about strong force I've made some parallels with gravity and how it creates a black hole. Is the strong force by any chance involved for fission or fusion? [link] [comments]  |

| How can water puddles evaporate? Posted: 16 Jun 2018 06:23 AM PDT You're probably thinking that I'm pretty stupid right now but oh well. How does the water in something like a puddle (e.g. from rain) evaporate? The boiling point of water is 100°C and obviously it's not 100° outside so how does it work? [link] [comments]  |
| How are single CPU dies sectioned off into multiple "cores"? Posted: 15 Jun 2018 10:49 PM PDT Like AMD uses multiple dies and ties them together with the infinity fabric, but Intel uses one singular die. How? What defines a processor as having multiple "cores" anyways (multiple FPUs, schedulers, what?)? I guess a better place to start is what makes up a single core CPU? [link] [comments]  |
| Does space heater efficiency increase with heater element size? Posted: 15 Jun 2018 03:46 PM PDT Hi everyone, I have a question about heating. I'm having a bit of a standoff with the father in law about space heaters and their element size. Let's say, you have 2 space heaters both rated at 1500W and one has an element of 100x100mm and the other has an element of 500x500mm. I theorised that all electric heaters are the same efficiency, nearly all the power is transferred into heat (apart from some power to run the fan) regardless of element size and thus will heat the room in the same timeframe. His theory is that a larger element will put out more radiant heat and thus heat a room quicker for the same power, therefore claiming it to be more efficient than a smaller element size. What is your opinion on this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2018 07:51 AM PDT I've read that it's 100,000+ light years across the "disk" of the Milky Way from edge to edge, but how "tall" or "thick" is it? Are all the stars and planets/solar systems lined up, like our solar system, or Saturn's rings on an essentially flat plane? Or do stars and systems "stack" up on top of each other "vertically"? How much can they "stack" and what limits/causes this? Is there a minimum and/or maximum "thickness" for galaxies? I hope this made sense, I'm genuinely curious [link] [comments]  |
| At what rate do proton collisions occur/get detected at LHC? Posted: 15 Jun 2018 03:53 PM PDT When its running at 100%? One a month? A day? A thousand an hour? Is there much of a difference between those that are created and those that are detected? (could they ever know?) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2018 12:28 PM PDT I have recently learned that the frictional force is independent of the surface area. But race cars always have very wide tires why? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2018 08:18 AM PDT Does that just mean a photon is a ripple in the electromagnetic field and can be any size? But you cant half a ripple? Also in regards to the distinction between fermions and bosons and their stack-ability; Would two electrons next to each other be analogous to two ripples that 'bounce' off each other and photons be like to two ripples that construct if they are on top of one another?
