Are there reasons/guidelines to how pills have to be shaped?

Posted: 02 Jun 2018 03:29 PM PDT

Do pills made of the same stuff have to have a different form if they're being sold by a different company? Do certain pills have to have an easily recognizable form that's the same internationally?

Why certain medicines are recommended after the meal and not before and on empty stomach? And vice versa.

As per my understanding if you take medicines in empty stomach the medicine will quickly go to the small intestine and the large intestine where The assimilation happens. Wouldn't that be more effective?

When Deuterium and Anti-Hydrogen Annihilate, What Happens to the Extra Neutron?

Posted: 02 Jun 2018 05:22 PM PDT

According to Star Trek lore, Federation starships are powered by matter-antimatter reactions, but more specifically, this reaction is canonically said to be between deuterium and anti-hydrogen. Given that every atom of deuterium has a neutron in it that hydrogen (and anti-hydrogen) atoms lack, what would happen to this neutron in real life if an atom of deuterium were to annihilate with an atom of anti-hydrogen?

Posted: 02 Jun 2018 02:26 AM PDT
