Humans can be allergic to dogs, cats, etc. Is it possible for animals to be allergic to us?

If a body rejects an organ transplant, can that organ be used for someone else, or is it no longer usable?

If my body rejects a kidney, can it be used for the next applicable person on this list, or is it toast?

What do tiny spiders eat?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 05:13 PM PDT

I've got a tiny spider, not more than 1-2cm across, living in the frame of my shower door. My wife hates cobwebs, so removes its newly spun web every few days, but the little fella always spins another. I can never see anything on the web, and I doubt it could hold a fly, even if one flew into it. But Incy is still there, spinning away. So what is it eating and how is it catching it, if not on the web?

How exactly does nothing (or almost nothing) react with glassware?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 08:42 PM PDT

I've been watching CodysLab and HTME on YouTube and seeing them put all those incredible reactive and dangerous into glass started wondering why/how it works? Are there other things that are as resistive to chemicals as glass is?

If you were standing on the moon's surface, would you be able to see the horizon curve?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 08:52 AM PDT

If not, how small would a planet/moon have to be to be able to notice a curve of the horizon?

How long does it take sedimentary rock to form?

Posted: 19 Mar 2019 03:19 AM PDT

For example, let say a depression was flooded with silt, clay, sand and the like. After this flood it remained arid and dry. How long would it take to turn into rock?

If you wanted to push an orbital object towards it’s gravitational well, *as fast as possible*, (say, like, using rockets to push Europa into Jupiter...) would you slow the object’s orbital speed (x)? Or push the object directly towards the gravitational center, at equal force (y)?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 05:50 PM PDT

Would that depend only upon relative speed vs mass? Or is there a line between l speed/mass v constant(0 Speed)/mass to determine the best direction? Never really got into this class in college. But I wanna know now..

Can a micro burst rains occur at high elevations? IE high mountain territory ~5000 feet

I know they happen in the desert sometimes, could they happen in a place like Denver or Flagstaff?.

Does atmospheric pressure change over geologic time, or has the barometer always been about 1 atmosphere?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 06:05 PM PDT

Does atmospheric pressure change over geologic time, or has it always been about 1 atm? We have so much evidence for wildly different climates, sea levels, gas concentrations, to the point where humans couldn't have survived at points in Earth's history. But is there a geologic barometer we can check?

Could Earth’s Climate Become Like Venus’?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 12:47 PM PDT

There's a lot of talk about Climate Change here on Earth and often I hear that the worst case scenario is for Earth to become like Venus. 471C and runaway Climate Change.

1) But, is it even physically possible for Earth to become like Venus with our carbon sinks in the Oceans/plate tectonics, magnetosphere, relatively fast rotation on our axis?

2) If 1 is true, how likely is it that climate change here on Earth could push us to runaway climate change where Earth becomes like Venus?


-None of this is to dampen the severity of the rate of climate change.

-Please try to link academic sources if you can

How Does the Extra Food Mass Exit the Body of an Exerciser?

Posted: 18 Mar 2019 03:59 PM PDT

Two people consume the exact same diet. One exercises and does not gain weight. The other sits and does gain weight.

Which bodily excretion accounts for the extra loss of mass from the active person? Sweat, exhalation, urine, feces, or other?

Or is the distance from the sun the determining factor of a day? I was going to ask this on r/nostupidquestions , but I couldn't find anything on it during a google search, so I thought you all may know.
