When I see a blurry gas above a bonfire or charcoal grill, what is causing the blurriness? It is colorless and transparent, but makes whatever I see behind it appear blurry in a wavy way. Is it carbon dioxide? Carbon monoxide? H? O? HO?

How is water able to stay in gaseous form in air (water vapour) well below its condensing temperature?

Why do most medical drugs have carbon rings?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 11:25 PM PDT

I've been interested in this as many of the drugs I looked up like paracetamol, Valium, and fentanyl all had this. Is it just that larger molecules are more likely to have carbon rings or is it what causes their medical properties?

Does the brain use more energy (calories) when it is processing something complex? Would it consume at different rates if you're doing math, or thinking deep into memory? If so, what type of tasks would cost the brain the most energy to process?

Have Dutch land reclamation projects had negative ecological effects?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 04:43 PM PDT

In 1932, the Dutch government completed the damming of the Zuiderzee, a shallow salt water bay after devastating floods. Since then, the former sea has been turned into a freshwater lake, and is the subject of ongoing land reclamation projects

Did the damming of the Zuiderzee and changing of the water from a salt water sea to a freshwater lake have negative ecological effects? For example, did any species of fish, bird, etc go extinct or become threatened from the change? Has the diversion of river water into the new lake changed the ecology of the North Sea at all?

What genes are conserved in animal phyla with bilateral symmetry? What do they do?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 03:13 PM PDT

Structural symmetry is more of an emergent phenomenon than something that is hard-coded into the genes, but phyla that have left-right symmetry in common presumably have common genes that are conserved (more than genes shared with all life, less than let's say genes shared among primates). Are any of the genes shared among bilateral animals associated with structure in some way?

Are adjacent skin cells (or in some other tissues) chemically bonded at all?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 10:16 PM PDT

Is there any sort of bond between adjacent skin cells or muscle cells, etc? I imagine there has to be since my skin stays together, or is this a physical bond somehow?

Thank you.

When theyre mixing pills with a filler, how do they make sure that each pill has exactly the mg stated?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 03:39 PM PDT

I have pills mixed with rice flour- for example. Say they mix the 2 powders together, how will they know that theres not some spots less blended or that one powder sifts to the bottom or anything?

What is 1-hydroxyethyl, 2-heptadecenyl imidazolene (amine 220), the chemical in felt washers sold for preventing corrosion on car batteries, and how does it work?

When gas explodes, why is it a relatively small explosion which doesn't propagate further into the pipes? If all houses in the neighborhood are connected to the same gas line, why don't they all expolde?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 10:59 AM PDT

Is there some sort of detection of leak which would close a section of a pipe? I am so confused!

Why do we humans call our hairs...hair? But call animals's hair fur? What's the difference?

Why does it take several days after exposure to poison ivy for a rash to form? What is happening in our skin that there's such a long delay?

People can hear words underwater. When trying to find a person in cloudy water that is drowning, it is possible to detect where they close by from their voice. But can people pinpoint sound underwater from a distance?

Is there a region on earth that has been geographically unchanged across time?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 12:33 PM PDT

There are many videos showing continental drift changing the world throughout time. But is there a place that has looked almost the same as 500 million years ago? No volcanic activity or raised altitude. I understand that erosion is a thing, so I'm not asking if there is a place that is identical to the past.

How do spiders spin webs to connect gaps of equal height that are sometimes thousands of times the length of their body?

If gravitons exist, then is it possible for anti-gravitons to exist and would that mean that the matter they interact with will gain negative gravity?

How do we know so much about atoms if they are so small that we can't see them?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 08:12 AM PDT

How do we know what an ionic bond is and other things about atoms if they are so small, no microscope can see them?

does my olfactory nerve and sense of smell group certain scents together when they are entirely different scents?

Posted: 20 Oct 2019 05:27 PM PDT

is this the extent of my ability to smell things? sometimes i will smell something and am falsely reminded of a smell from my childhood. i can name only so many different scents. it's like my brain has a database of these large categories of smells and they group together and that's what i end up smelling.
