| Posted: 18 Jul 2019 07:19 PM PDT So I know that pretty much everything is in motion within the universe. Stars, planets and galaxies spin right. I'm curious if our entire universe is spinning as well? [link] [comments]  |
| Once urine is in the bladder, is there any way for the body to recoup the water in it? Posted: 19 Jul 2019 06:14 AM PDT Say your bladder is full of urine, but your body is also becoming dehydrated. Can it get anything useful out of the urine in the bladder without you having to pee it out? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Jul 2019 12:14 AM PDT I'm working on a project and I need to find out the Force in Kilonewtons that is applied. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 18 Jul 2019 05:39 PM PDT It's the only way I can think of this scenario with momentum being conserved. [link] [comments]  |

| Is the human liver always functioning? Posted: 18 Jul 2019 05:55 PM PDT Does liver function ever completely stop, or at least slow down in certain situations; like on an empty stomach? [link] [comments]  |
| How stable are lagrangian points really? Posted: 19 Jul 2019 04:54 AM PDT Lagrangian points are supposed to be points, where gravitational and centrifugal forces are in equilibrium. And spacecrafts and -stations are supposed to be easy to build and keep there. However my understanding is that an equilibrium like this is only possible at one exact spot. Let's say we put a space-station at a lagrangian point. How much would the shifting center of mass due to spacecraft docking/undocking and people moving around affect the stability of the station at a lagrangian point? If all people and equipment would move to one side of the station, would it "fall off" the lagrangian point? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 18 Jul 2019 06:31 PM PDT I truly don't even know what flairs to give this because I don't know if this is and electrical engineering thing or maybe a biochemistry related question or what, so I'm sorry for that. I've been trying to google the answer to this, and so far I think I understand that when you do that elementary school science project where you make a battery to power a really small light bulb with a lemon or potato or whatever, it's using a chemical reaction between copper, zinc, and the electrolytes within the juices of the produce you're using that creates electricity (I really hope that's at least somewhat correct or I'll look even more silly than I already do). I'm wondering if, after you do that, is that potential energy that your body could use from eating whatever it is using gone, or is it using an entirely different kind of energy. Thanks in advance. I know it sounds like a very silly question. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2019 04:58 PM PDT A secondary question, are there species that should currently be going extinct naturally, but are being kept alive because of humans, even though they shouldn't be? [link] [comments]  |

| What is the meaning of ancestory proportion? Posted: 19 Jul 2019 01:43 AM PDT What does 10% r1b means? Does it mean that only 10% of male ancestors had r1b y DNA? How can yDna be composite? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Is there complex angles? And is there application for them? Posted: 18 Jul 2019 10:58 AM PDT I just love and confused by imaginary numbers. My teacher told me that they work because they act like place holders between the question and the answer. They always seem to blow my mind! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2019 04:04 PM PDT For example, how did he know that a hydrogen atom had one proton to balance out its electron and not multiple positively charged particles? How did he know that a proton wasn't just the same size as an electron but that there were more of them? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Jul 2019 12:08 AM PDT Environmentalists / activists frequently attempt to save old growth forests from logging and development, but I'm not sure why. What benefits do old growth forests have over second-growth or younger forests, given that younger forests will also sequester more carbon than old growth forests... [link] [comments]  |

| Do one's preferences for art (your artistic taste) have a strong connection to your personality? Posted: 18 Jul 2019 10:23 PM PDT So I was wondering if the way one has developed their tastes for art be it through visual or auditory stimuli, (say your liking or disliking for a particular UI/ typography design or your liking/dislike for a particular kind of music to state random examples) can have any relevant connection to your personality (say the big 5 traits). By relevant, I mean if there's some definitive observations rather than just so-so correlations from some of the research papers. (As I've come across a lot of that). [link] [comments]  |
