| Posted: 08 Aug 2018 05:18 AM PDT I just watched a random 4k video where they showed extreme close detail of different things. For example we can zoom in on a fly's eye and see every single speck of it's eye which is impossible to see with our own eyes. So could we build a camera with 1000 times more resolution to zoom in even further and see atoms? [link] [comments]  |
| Do wildfires mitigate the potential for future wildfires in the same area? If so, for how long? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 07:35 AM PDT We've been told that in the past the policy of snuffing out wildfires immediately has increased the chances and severity of future wildfires. Wildfires are a natural part of the ecology and they clear out underbrush and other fuels making them less dangerous. In recent years there have been so many huge wildfires that it seems eventually we will get back to a state of nature and then these wildfires will will return to less intense but regular occurrences. Is this merely a phase we need to go through in order to return to the old normal? [link] [comments]  |
| Ask Anything Wednesday - Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology Posted: 08 Aug 2018 08:12 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2018 04:29 AM PDT This is in relation to a personal writing project, so I don't know if this question goes against the sub Reddit's rules. This might count as a hypothetical question, or maybe to specific of a scenario. But assuming a person wouldn't have their misdiagnosis corrected for a long time (which can realistically happen sometimes), what results would long term psychosis treatment have on the person?

| Posted: 08 Aug 2018 07:21 AM PDT Basically, are the two lobes of the thyroid gland performing the same function as each other? If not, how do they differ? Relatedly, are there systematically differing implications/complications for those who have the right or left lobe of the thyroid removed as a result of disease? Best I've found so far is this, but doesn't really answer my question/I don't fully understand if it does: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22178560 [link] [comments]  |

| If there is a breach in a fusion reactor, what will happen? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 01:18 AM PDT I'm writing a novel and I want to have a fusion reactor breach its walls through some kind of coolant malfunction or whatever. My question: If you had a stable reaction going, and then removed a chunk of the wall, would the resulting energy escaping be catastrophic or would things just flicker out? I'm hoping catastrophic for the books sake... [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Aug 2018 05:19 PM PDT I've been seeing more articles lately on the possibility of undiscovered planets in our solar system based upon anomalies in the orbits of Oort cloud objects. Is it possible instead of undiscovered planets their orbits are being influenced by an undiscovered stellar mass black hole lurking somewhere within a few light years or has this has been ruled out? Also how close could a stellar black hole approach us without astronomers finding evidence of it disturbing the solar system? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |

| How can worker ants be female if they don't have the means to reproduce? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 08:16 AM PDT How can we tell the sex of an entire subgroup of a species if none of them can reproduce? There are obvious reasons to why the drones are male and the queens are female, but where does the sex of the workers come from? [link] [comments]  |
| Does earth’s rotation have an effect on air travel time? Posted: 07 Aug 2018 05:34 PM PDT Is a flight from New York to Los Angeles any faster or slower than a flight from Los Angeles to New York? [link] [comments]  |
| What determines the rate at which the prefrontal cortex develops? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 02:49 AM PDT Can it be altered by certain external stimuli? Epigenetic factors? Is there variation across socioeconomic class? Across geography? [link] [comments]  |
| Can a venomous animal die if it bites itself? Posted: 07 Aug 2018 07:15 AM PDT I know that venomous animals can eat their own venom (since their prey is presumably full of it) but what happens if, say, a snake bites itself by mistake? Would it be immune to its own venom? [link] [comments]  |

| How does bark help protect trees from fire? Posted: 08 Aug 2018 05:00 AM PDT I know (especially in Australia where I'm from) often trees can be seen alive with very charred bark and a lot of our flora only will bloom after a fire as that's when the ground is clearest, how does bark and seeds protect themselves from fires? I've been speculating it might have something to do with the lack of resin in the bark but I'm not quite sure. [link] [comments]  |
