I don’t understand how AC electricity can make an arc. If AC electricity if just electrons oscillating, how are they jumping a gap? And where would they go to anyway if it just jump to a wire? |

| How many bits of information transfer to a black hole via a single photon? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:01 AM PDT In a lecture by a rather famous physicist L.S. it was described that a single bit could be transferred to a black hole if the photon wavelength is equal to the radius of the black hole. In that case (as was proposed in the lecture) the location information of the photon is unavailable and the total information is just photon 'present or not'. However is there not also information contained in the photon's polarization, angular momentum- is this information also transferred or unavailable? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the heat capacity of neutron stars? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 07:25 AM PDT What is the heat capacity of neutron star matter? Do we understand the equation of state of neutron star matter enough, to get a rough order of magnitude estimate of it as compared to say, liquid water? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Aug 2019 07:39 PM PDT It takes about 8 minutes for light to reach Earth from the sun and if the sun were to die out we know about 8 minutes after it happened but since sound moves slower than the speed of light the sound of the sun burning would still be there even if the sun is out so basically what I'm trying to find out is that if the sun went out how long would we hear the sounds of the sun after it died out?

| How do we manufacture only specific isomers/handedness of certain molecules? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 04:15 PM PDT My brother is allergic to one of the hands of albuterol, but the one that is only one handed is fine. Thalidomide was fine when it was only one hand but the other shape was the one that caused problems. How are we able to produce one specific one? [link] [comments]  |
| Can blood transfusions also transfer immunities? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 02:31 PM PDT Pretend for a second that you got dropped back in time, prior to the development of the Smallpox vaccine. If you drew out a vial of your own blood and injected that into another person, would you transfer your Smallpox vaccine immunity? Or is not enough antibodies carried in say a vial of our blood to do the trick? Curious and no amount of google-fu'ing seems to give me answer. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| How can volcanoes form where there are no plate boundaries? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 08:26 AM PDT In high school I've learned that volcanoes form on plate boundaries which I understand. But what I've been thinking about is how can volcanoes form where there are no plate boundaries. The main example I'm oging to use is in Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh castle is build ontop of an extinct volcanoe. How did that volcanoe form if there are no plate boundaries in Scotland?

| Is it possible for a conductive room temperature gas to exist? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 10:01 AM PDT More specifically is it possible for a gas to exist at room temperature and still conduct electricity relatively well. [link] [comments]  |
