When people forge metal and parts flake off, what's actually happening to the metal?

Are the flakes impurities? Or is it lost material? And why is it coming off in flakes?

If we can replicate the natural process for making diamonds, why can't we make petroleum?

Why does USB need 6+ conductors in the wire when I get high speed internet and TV over a coaxial cable?

Basically, if my internet and TV come in through a coaxial cable, why is USB slower when it has more conductors in the wire?

How was the Compton effect measured?

Posted: 01 Jun 2019 10:45 PM PDT

To my understanding the Compton effect is when a singular photon collides with singular electron the electron will gain kinetic energy and the wavelength of light will decrease such that both energy and momentum are conserved.

But how was this actually measured? Since you can't fire a single photon at a single electron right?

why hydrogen-4 is unstable ? what forces drive neutral neutrons away from atom core ?

Posted: 01 Jun 2019 08:29 PM PDT

I know adding another electron is not possible because negative electron and positive proton has already neutralised each other and so another negatively charged electron wont stick to it.

and adding another proton would make it a new element.

but neutrons are neutral, so why wont they stick to hydrogen-3 ? what forces drive them away ?

How many Higgs bosons has mankind created?

Posted: 31 May 2019 09:33 PM PDT

I recently saw on a documentary that in 2017 we produced roughly 3 Million Higgs bosons. Do we have any data on 2018 or 2019? If not how many total? I assume multiple must be created per run with numbers that high?

Did the impact of the asteroid that destroyed life on earth at the end of the Cretaceous affect the placement of tectonic plates?

Posted: 31 May 2019 11:22 PM PDT

From what I gather the asteroid hit with an immense force that, among other things, send an shockwave through the earths core. Could this force have been enough to break or deform the then existing tectonic plate structure, causing them to evolve more into the shapes we know today, or atleast their basic forms?
