| How much radiation would you be exposed to holding weapons-grade plutonium in your hand? Posted: 12 Aug 2018 05:07 AM PDT In a movie I saw yesterday there were several scenes of the characters holding spheres of weapons-grade plutonium in their bare hands with seemingly no concern for how radioactive it is. My gut says this is a really, really bad idea, but I'm curious just how bad it would be. How much radiation would you be dosed with if you did that in real life? [link] [comments]  |
| Where do mosquitoes hide when it rains buckets? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 04:13 PM PDT Where do mosquitoes (and other insects) hide when it rains buckets? [link] [comments]  |

| What are we measuring the speed of light against? Posted: 12 Aug 2018 03:21 AM PDT The velocity of an object is always descried relative to a specific inertial frame, but since the speed of light is absolute, how are we able to major its true value? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Aug 2018 02:09 AM PDT So I get that mirrors can be used to spin quickly to capture the object even at high speed. But IIRC high speed cameras have a very demanding focal length to be effective - so how can a projectile (let's just say a bullet) be tracked in focus even though the distance from the mirror varies over time?

| Why is it CO2, H2SO4 but not O2C, H2O4S? Posted: 12 Aug 2018 05:42 AM PDT Since I started learing Chemistry at 8th grade, I have wondered why it must be that. Does it have a rule to measure it? Sorry if my English was bad. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2018 03:21 PM PDT I know that the Perseids meteors aren't all on the same plane, but it is definable enough to be shown like it is here: https://www.meteorshowers.org/ Why is it like this? [link] [comments]  |

| Why is there a speed of sound? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 10:22 PM PDT Why would air waves not move faster when the disturbance causing the sound is stronger? [link] [comments]  |
| Does treating a low grade fever prolong your illness? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 12:53 PM PDT Conflicting studies out there that suggest that treating a fever doesn't prolong the illness, while other suggest it is beneficial. So, to me, a lower grade fever can be beneficial, but a higher fever should certainly be treated. So this leads me to ask: does treating a low grade fever actually prolong your illness?

| Are paraphilias (like pedophilia) "treatable"? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 08:11 AM PDT I realize that this might not be the right word, since they're not exactly diseases, but you know what I mean [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2018 01:45 PM PDT This has always fascinated me. I believe it may have to do with boosters and/or such, but I figured I would ask. When, say, a space shuttle docks with the ISS, what procedures or mechanisms do they employ to prevent the ISS from slowing its orbital speed? I assume one or two dockings wouldn't hinder it so much to cause that big of an issue, but over the span of its life time, I can see how it could become a serious problem. Also, if any of my assumptions are incorrect, please correct me. 😁 [link] [comments]  |

| How much earth is required to be a suitable ground? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 12:53 PM PDT After seeing a repost of an electrical load being grounded to a bag of rocks and dirt with a ground sticker on the bag I'm assuming as a joke, I'm wondering how big of a bag of soil would be needed for a suitable ground to withstand a nominal voltage of let's say 120v at a 15 amp peak.

| Posted: 11 Aug 2018 11:22 AM PDT This is one of those controversial topics I couldn't believe was even a controversy to begin with. Apparently, there are studies showing that icing does not actually improve the recovery process and questions it's effectiveness. What gives? For years, I was always told to ice a sprained ankle and tendinitis, yet when I decided to look into why we ice injuries to begin with, it sounds like it's simply to make us more comfortable during the injury. What's more interesting, is apparently it delays the process entirely? Is there anybody qualified to speak on this subject? [link] [comments]  |
| Are there genetic factors in how muscles develop? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 05:18 PM PDT Let's just say 2 men the same age decide to work out together. They can both initially bench press 150lbs and want to be able to bench press 200lbs. They perform the exact same exercises daily and commit to the exact same diet. I'm assuming the two men would not increase their strength at the exact same rate. What factors (genetic, other) would contribute to one person getting stronger more quickly than the other?

| How do repopulation programs prevent inbreeding? Posted: 11 Aug 2018 10:41 AM PDT I just read another post about an effective breeding program to increase the population of black-footed ferrets from a couple dozen to over a thousand. In cases like this (or others where there are only a couple animals left) how do scientists prevent inbreeding and other complications of inter-family breeding? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2018 11:53 AM PDT Saw a post earlier of two identical twins marrying 2 other identical twins and it got me thinking. Also if those two first babies don't appear to be genetically related as siblings, what are the chances that 1 or two more may appear to be genetically related that close? [link] [comments]  |
