| What do the "real" versions of other gauge bosons do? Posted: 03 Nov 2018 03:24 AM PDT I have no real education in particle physics, I'm just an interested layman. I've asked this question around in the past but I've never received a direct answer. So, real photons are emitted by charged particles and travel space until they're absorbed by something else, right? I can turn a light bulb on and real photons will travel from the filament into my eye and I can see that. Virtual photons aren't really photons at all. They're just something that comes out of the maths when you're dealing with electrical fields. They're related to charged particles in a similar way to real photons, but they're something different. But when I read about gluons and W and Z bosons, I only every see them discussed in terms of virtual particles. My question is, are there such things as "real" gluons, W bosons and Z bosons? If so, how do they get produced? Can nucleons emit real gluons to lose energy where do they go? Is there such thing as a Z-Boson Bulb, that I can turn on to emit real Z-Bosons? Can these real bosons be used for any practical purpose? Sorry if this is a stupid question, it's just something that's been perplexing me for a while. As a bonus question, what does science say about the differences between real and virtual gravitons? Thanks for your answers. [link] [comments]  |
| What is the difference between Total Heavy Metal testing and Extractable Heavy Metal testing? Posted: 03 Nov 2018 06:24 AM PDT I'm received some textile results back and I need to explain the results to my team. Any help is appreciated! Thank! [link] [comments]  |
| If I have never taken antibiotics in my life, does antibiotic resistance not affect me? Posted: 03 Nov 2018 02:30 AM PDT Does antibiotic resistance apply to my body or to the whole world? If I take courses of antibiotics, will the bacteria in my body "remember" it? E.g., is there a limited amount of antibiotic courses I can take in my life as an individual, each time weakening my body? Or is it simply, bacteria in the whole world is becoming resistant to antibiotics, and therefore I shouldn't take it if I don't need to. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2018 12:21 PM PDT So, I am just a high schooler with little to no advanced scientific knowledge of topics such as this. However, I am incredibly fascinated with them, and I know we do have advanced telescopes which can actually look at atoms and other particles, But do we have any actual clear images of what they look like? I have seen an image of an atom before (I think?), and I have seen that really cool video of a moving electron riding a light wave, but is there any more than that? Like videos or images of quarks and other particles? (Sorry if this is a really simple question, but I am incredibly fascinated with this and have little to no experience in this subject. Thanks, AskScience!) [link] [comments]  |

| From an EE perspective, is an LED at all similar to an antenna? Posted: 02 Nov 2018 05:15 PM PDT I was just pondering how antennas, whether they be directional, omni-directional, or semi-directional are just like flashlights throwing EM waves at certain frequencies, usually radio or microwave, into space. And then it occurred to me to wonder - isn't an LED doing the same thing, just within the range of frequencies of visible light? So it occurs to me to ask, what similarities are there, if any, in terms of electrical design and mechanism of operation, between a light-emitting diode and a radio or microwave antenna? I don't think this comparison applies to incandescent lights, because I believe they work via black-body radiation, but maybe I'm wrong and they are also comparable? Is the current applied to an antenna simply heating it to the appropriate temperature to create the desired frequency of black-body radiation? Basically I'm just brainstorming as to what are the common threads between all of these physical concepts that function as EM sources. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2018 08:25 AM PDT I encountered a physics textbook deriving an equation to find the radius of curvature for a charged particle entering a perpendicular magnetic field. It equated centripetal force (mv2 / r) with magnetic force (qvB) and rearranged to arrive at r = mv/qB. I thought that an accelerating charge emits EMR, meaning it loses energy, thus it's radius increases. How would this formula hold? EDIT: syntax [link] [comments]  |

| How does the Earth's rotation and orbit of the sun affect gravity (if at all)? Posted: 02 Nov 2018 07:13 AM PDT I've been arguing with some flat earthers recently (because it's how I relax), and one thing they commonly bring up is "how is gravity weak enough for a bird to beat but strong enough to hold everything down as we're spinning around the sun - shouldn't centripetal force pull it away?" I think I've got some ideas, but I am 100% not a scientist, I'm just a musician, and so figured I'd ask the fine people of r/askscience instead. [link] [comments]  |
| [medicine/chemistry] Drug names... how do they work? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 11:32 PM PDT Now I understand that there are the chemical names e.g.: N-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]propan-1-amine. And the generic names e.g. Fluoxetine. And lastly the brand names e.g. prozac. But I want to know 3 things: How is the generic name chosen? How is a very complicated name like N-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]propan-1-amine formed from a somewhat simple molecule of C17H18F3NO? [link] [comments]  |
| Does scar tissue out perform its replaces tissue in anyway? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 11:05 PM PDT I've been intrigued with biology recently and one thing I've found rather interesting was scar tissue seems to be objectively worse in every way, but if that's the case then why would our bodies use it? Is it just simply easier to produce and replicate? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is there no life thriving in high altitudes? Posted: 02 Nov 2018 02:26 AM PDT We have animals on the ground, below water at extreme depths, but why is there no life high up where planes usually cruise? [link] [comments]  |
| What’s the science behind a stuffed nose? What is its purpose and how does it occur? Posted: 01 Nov 2018 07:16 PM PDT |
| What is the difference between the Phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM) and the Constrained MSSM (cMSSM)? Posted: 02 Nov 2018 07:37 AM PDT MSSM meaning minimal supersymmetric standard model of course. [link] [comments]  |
| Do wild animals get bored? This excludes pets Posted: 01 Nov 2018 08:05 PM PDT So i saw a similar post where the general consensus was un-stimulate pets can get bored, but i'm wondering about those fish that sit on the bottom of the ocean for hours waiting to strike [link] [comments]  |
