Do bugs have muscles?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 08:17 AM PDT

Little tiny bugs must have muscles right? Like a spider? When they die their legs curl up. Is this the muscles tightening or something? They must have muscle tissue because how else would they move? Is there another way for an ant or spider to move their legs?

Can shock waves from a major explosion exit the earth’s atmosphere? If so, what happens to them in vacuum?

Does this property hold for the Hamiltonian?

Posted: 14 Oct 2018 01:01 AM PDT

I know that for a system of n particles, we can express it in general coordinates, and this equation holds: d/dt(dL/(dq/dt)) = dL/dq, if q is a generalized coordinate and L is the Lagrangian. Does this hold also if we replace L with H, the Hamiltonian?

So Earth has layers and layers of dirt and rock that we are able to check and see from different periods in the history of Earth. How? Like how does layers of Earth keep getting added, wouldn’t it stay the same? Clearly not but why not?

How does Poincare Recurrence work if particles aren't random?

Posted: 14 Oct 2018 03:21 AM PDT

The idea of a Poincare Recurrence in the universe makes some sense, but to a Layman, it seems like it requires the particles (or whatever makes up the universe) to simply be randomly moving around. The universe doesn't seem to be particles randomly moving around, so it would seem like there would be certain potential arrangements of particles that it would just never reach or never reach more than once. Is Poincare Recurrence a matter of quantum mechanics or something different? Or is it perhaps not supposed to be applied that literally?

Why is 8 a magic number for electrons in a valence shell? What’s so special about 8?

Are there microorganisms that live in space?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 07:10 AM PDT

I was wondering if there has been any solid evidence that any form of microorganism has ever been found in space, or any small life form for that matter.

What is the smallest black hole possible?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 07:48 AM PDT

How much mass would you have to magically pack into a sphere with diameter equal to the planck length, to make a black hole?

Assuming that a planck sphere(?) would be the smallest area possible

Do we know if there were any mountains bigger than Mt Everest that have since eroded?

What do bees do when it's stormy?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 04:37 AM PDT

Like do they just not eat/hunt for the day? Or do they spend the night somewhere other than their nest? If they get blown away from their nest, how far can they get until the can't find it again?

Are the muscles on animals like gorillas biologically similar to the muscle on people? ie would 100kg or gorilla muscle be more or less powerful than 100kg of human muscle?

Why is it way more common for men to go bald compared to women?

Does reducing a fever with medicine slow how long it takes to get better?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 09:02 AM PDT

This thought occurred to me as i'm sitting here miserable with a cold. If a fever is one of our bodies methods to help get rid of illness does suppressing that slow how quickly our body is able to deal with that sickness?

Earth is made up of tectonic plates, will the number of these plates ever change over time?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 06:40 AM PDT

Earth conists of a number of tectonic plates that, as far as I know, seem rather stable. However, will some plates subdivide into new plates over time? Will current plates combine into larger "superplates"? Or is Earth just not geologically active enough for the tectonic plates of Earth to change?

On a slightly related question, the tectonic plates present on Earth seem to be identical to the ones of Pangea, so is it possible that the number of tectonic plates has been stable for quite some time?

Why do annual colds affect people so differently? (Ex. She gets stuffy head, chills, and runny nose while I get sore throat and a bad cough)

Does climate change have any effect on geologic processes like volcanism and earthquakes?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 09:26 AM PDT

I'd assume not, but lately I've seen more and more people adding earthquakes and volcanoes to the increasing number of natural disasters caused by climate change.

In a museum I saw a display about a 8.5 earthquake in Crete on 21 July A.D. 365 - how did geologists find out about the magnitude?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 10:50 AM PDT

Certainly not by counting the numbers of broken amphores, right?

Why is it that on TV and in cameras the night vision goggles or night vision mode always makes things appear tinted green?

Posted: 13 Oct 2018 09:08 AM PDT

Not super complex like other posts I have seen on here but I'm just curious.
