Rubbing alcohol is often use to sanitize skin (after an injury/before an injection), but I have never seen someone use it to clean their counters or other non-porous surfaces — is there a reason rubbing alcohol is not used on such surfaces but non-alcohol-based spray cleaners are?

Climate scientists are saying that climate change is irreversible. If we continue on the path we are currently in, in which we keep using fossil fuels. How much longer do we expect the human race to last? Will we all die in a 100 years? 1000?

When describing black holes in galaxies people generally say “almost all galaxies have black holes at their centers” why almost”? Are there galaxies without supermassive black holes in their centers, if so how do they form?

AskScience AMA Series: We are Julia Taylor Kennedy & Pooja Jain-Link from the Center for Talent Innovation and we just published "Wonder Women in STEM and the Companies that Champion Them" - we want to share solutions to improve gender equality in the STEM fields. Ask Us Anything!

Posted: 16 Nov 2018 04:35 AM PST

Many women who work in the STEM industries still feel stuck in their careers. Our latest study, "Wonder Women in STEM and the Companies that Champion Them," identifies several strategies that can foster career advancement for women in these fields. I'm Julia Taylor Kennedy, Executive Vice President and Director of Publications at CTI, and I'm Pooja Jain-Link, Senior Vice President and CTI's Director of Research. We're familiar with the challenges women face as they attempt to climb the ladder to the C-Suite in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields--challenges that often lead them to lean out of their industries entirely. Our latest report shifts from documenting challenges to identifying actionable approaches linked to success for individuals as well as companies. We are excited to talk to you about this study and welcome questions from women currently working in STEM careers in particular.

We'll be on at 4pm ET (21 UT). Ask Us Anything!

The new kilogram definition seems complex. Why not define it in terms of the mass of a proton?

Posted: 16 Nov 2018 07:19 AM PST

The kilogram is being redefined.

https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/11/14/18072368/kilogram-kibble-redefine-weight-science

The new definition is in terms of the Planck constant and seems complex (or at least not very elegant.) Why isn't the kilogram defined as something simpler like the mass of X number of protons?

What determines how opaque or transparent a material is, on a molecular level?

Posted: 16 Nov 2018 04:16 AM PST

Like what makes water clear? What makes milk white? How can something even be transparent?

Why some materials, like diamonds, who are form in extremely high pressures don't recover its initial form when they are at 1 atmosphere of preassure?

With current nuclear reactors' consumption, how much "fuel" do we have left?

Posted: 15 Nov 2018 11:51 PM PST

Hi,

I am part of those that think that the best way to reduce global warming and keep our ways of life while not polluting the environment too much is to commit to nuclear fission. I know that there are problems with waste, but I consider them insignificant compared to global warming.

I know that there are renewables, but to use them in the next 10 years, we might (not knowledgable enough) have to drastically reduce our consumption.

So with that in mind, I am an advocated of nuclear fisison. A colleague of mine said that there are only a few decades of fissable material left to make sure current reactors can keep running. This seems like a difficult topic for me to get the right data.

So, is that true that we are also running out of fuel for our nuclear reactors? If not, could the world run mostly on nuclear?

An impact crater has been recently discovered in Greenland that may have been caused by a 1-mile-wide asteroid. If an analogous asteroid were discovered heading towards Earth, would we be able to pinpoint in advance an exact impact location? How much time in advance?

If suppressors reduce the firing noise in guns, and make them go a little further, then why do armies not use them more often?

Posted: 15 Nov 2018 06:14 PM PST

Is it more costly? Or is it just useless/has its flaws?

How do people exactly measure absurdly high temperatures, like 100 million? Or are they just estimating it?

Can someone help me find the spectra of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets?

Posted: 16 Nov 2018 02:00 AM PST

Hello,

I am looking for the data for the TRAPPIST-1 system spectra for the exoplanets. I have seen many plots of this data, but cannot find the raw numbers, which I need for a college project. If anyone could help my find the numerical values for these spectra, it would be most appreciated.

Are there more elements to be discovered on earth? Do we think we've discovered every element that exists on this planet,or will the periodic table continue to expand?

Posted: 16 Nov 2018 01:48 AM PST

Also, when was the last element on the table discovered? There has to be some that we haven't discovered on other planets or in other galaxies at least, right?
