You go to the doctor depressed and they say you have low serotonin levels that's why your depressed. So why not just give the person serotonin instead of a drug that just makes your brain not recycle it so quickly?

Are moths and butterflies able to cross breed like tigers and lions?

Posted: 17 Aug 2019 03:32 PM PDT

Does cellular metabolism always lead to acidifying of a medium?

Posted: 18 Aug 2019 02:11 AM PDT

What happens when lightning strikes a swimming pool?

Posted: 17 Aug 2019 05:55 AM PDT

I've always wondered what happens when a lightning strikes an olympic sized swimming pool. Like lightning is an electrostatic discharge and it should generate a lot of heat. Will it cause the pool water to evaporate completely?
