Why do only some part of mint leaves turn brown while steeping fresh mint tea?

Posted: 19 Jan 2020 06:23 AM PST

Hello reddit, when I drink mint tea I notice that the part of the mint leaves that is just barely not submerged in the boiling water starts to turn brown, whereas the submerged part amd the tip of the stalk remain green. Any idea as to why this occurs?

Do other animals exhibit similar behaviour to babies crying or is it unique to Humans, and why did we evolve to cry?

What will quantum computers mean for the safety of our cyber security?

Posted: 18 Jan 2020 05:04 PM PST

I know that we're pretty close to being able to construct them, and I also know that their not going to be common house holds items...yet. But like all things humans invent, they will most likely become easier and cheaper to make over time.

So, I'm curious. What will these almost fictional-like supercomputers mean to the level of cyber security we have in our technological and online-dependent lives? Could they protect us? Or could they cripple society if obtained by the wrong hands?

Thanks in advance. Been curious of this for awhile now.

For an ionic lifter, how do you determine how much power you’ll need to lift it?

Posted: 18 Jan 2020 07:54 PM PST

After looking at some things online about them, most people have an advanced looking setup when it comes to the high voltage power supply. Is there a formula for how much power you'd need to create enough lift? Would a household battery be enough power?

Why is the parallel component of the electric field 0?

Posted: 19 Jan 2020 02:20 AM PST

The question is concerning a long cylinder of charge (charge density rho with radius a). We've always used the fact that the E is perpendicular to the cylinder (because symmetry) but really it's just because logically it makes sense. I am looking for a more rigorous vector arguement as to why the parallel (z) component of the E-field is 0.

If I'm not mistaken we can use Faraday's law to show that the field is either constant or 0 but not that it is definitely 0.

How and why do opioids effect our nervous system?

How do opiods (like stimulant, depressant, hallucinogen) affect our nervous system?

I don't quite understand how it can damage (if at all) the nervous system. Aren't they used to help people help their illnesses? And aren't most of them consumed? Or can some be injected or inhaled?

Were the Deccan Traps eruption related with the antipodal Chicxulub impact? Not just a coincidence but related in some way? Did the antipodal impact trigger / accelerate the Deccan Traps eruption?

Is a free electron a standing wave or not?

Posted: 18 Jan 2020 01:43 PM PST

I'm a chemist with poor calculus background so I only know about the qualitive properties of quantum mechanics, without understanding how all that is derived mathematically, which is why I have a question.

The way I came to understand electrons is as standing waves surrounding the nucleus (I think maybe it's the manifestation of the uncertainty principle due to the fact that we made no measurements as to where the electron is right now? Can't be sure). This is exactly what explains the different shapes of orbitals - standing waves, differing in the amount of nodal planes. If I understand correctly, a standing wave is a wave whose amplitudes don't move in the chosen frame of reference, which is the nucleus due to Born-Oppenheimer. But what happens when the electron is free, as in the photoeffect, or beta decay? Is it still described as a standing wave? What is the frame of reference then? Or is it not a standing wave any more, as it propagates linearly through space in a certain direction? Shouldn't it become a virtual particle instead, then?

Thank you for your responses beforehand!

Does the difference in average brain volume between the sexes amount to any difference in their cognitive functions/intelligence, considering the correlation among humans there is between regional brain volume and cognitive abilities/intelligence?

I am just a highschool student, with minimal prior knowledge in this field. So excuse me if my question is absolutely stupid. I do not mean to sound sexist, it is a genuine question.
