Measles is thought to 'reset' the immune system's memory. Do victims need to re-get childhood vaccinations, e.g. chickenpox? And if we could control it, is there some good purpose to which medical science could put this 'ability' of the measles virus? Posted: 26 Jan 2019 05:06 AM PST Measles resets the immune system Don't bone marrow patients go through chemo to suppress or wipe our their immune system to reduce the chance of rejection of the donor marrow? Seems like a virus that does the same thing, if it could be less . .. virulent, might be a way around that horrible process. Just throwing out ideas. submitted by /u/roraima_is_very_tall [link] [comments]

Discoveries at the LHC besides the Higgs boson? Posted: 26 Jan 2019 04:12 AM PST I feel like 10 years ago every scientist said that the LHC would revolutionize our view of the universe, yet the only major discovery in the mainstream news was the Higgs boson. Are there any more major discoveries that may shape our view of the universe or were the expectations too big and there were no huge, interesting discoveries? submitted by /u/LexyconG [link] [comments]

In the Electron Transport Chain, do the complexes gain their energy to pump out protons, from the creation of water in the IV-komplex or from the high energy state of the electron in NADH? Posted: 26 Jan 2019 05:15 AM PST submitted by /u/WinnieTheBeast [link] [comments]

Before fusion was understood, how did astronomers explain how stars worked? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 11:24 AM PST I am mostly talking about the last few hundred years, once it was accepted fact that the stars weren't just lights on a giant moving sphere. Were there theories as to what caused the sun and other stars to shine? We now understand that fusion is the primary method of energy production, but it wasn't known until the 20th century. submitted by /u/Masterjason13 [link] [comments]

Are black holes ideal black bodies? Posted: 26 Jan 2019 03:50 AM PST A blac body absorbs and emits all radiation or energy incident on it. A Black hole can absorb everything, but nothing gets emmited out of it, except Hawking Radiation. So can Black holes be termed as ideal black bodies? submitted by /u/HarshilBhattDaBomb [link] [comments]

In the winter of 1862, the northern lights appeared over the battlefield in Fredericksburg, VA, USA. How rare is this phenomenon? Would it happen now-a-days, or not because of light pollution? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 05:24 PM PST submitted by /u/RealisticTaco [link] [comments]

How is it possible to see light from the beginning of time? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 11:56 AM PST Light travels at a speed making us see things that are far away back in time. But since no object can travel faster than light, how can earth beats the light to here from the beginning of time for almost 14 billion years? Here is the article I got this question from. submitted by /u/LOKSTED [link] [comments]

In the distant future, could the cosmic microwave background be made visible by accelerating an detector to relativistic speeds? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 09:08 AM PST I have read that the CMB will redshift to invisibility in the distant future. Could the use of near light speed be used to blue shift it back to visibility? submitted by /u/innocuousremark [link] [comments]

Can You Contain a Anti-proton plasma Using Normal Matter? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 10:07 AM PST Since anti-protons do not annihilate positrons, could a negatively charged plasma of antiprotons be held inside a container normal matter? The plasma would be repelled by the electron shell of the normal atoms. Since AM is stored in magnetic penrose traps in the real world, I assume this is incorrect, but why? submitted by /u/GaraktheTailor [link] [comments]

Why is there an emphasis on a closed loop to Faraday's law? Posted: 25 Jan 2019 07:29 AM PST I don't understand why Faraday's law is only valid when there is a loop, a closed one in fact. I understand it does not matter if the loop consists of a conductor or free space. submitted by /u/tinkenieer [link] [comments]
