How does a cyst resolve itself?

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 09:53 PM PDT

Reading about ovarian cysts and it says they usually "resolve themselves".

Does this mean they shrink? What happens to them? and How?

This might be a loaded question but at least could someone tell me how to google this?

Is there some kind of process by which it "resolves"?

Is there a special cell that does a special job to break down the cyst?

When I google this kind of stuff I just get articles about cancer, nothing about biological processes.

If two people with the same contagious illness are confined together, is it likely that it’ll take longer for them to get better than if they were separated?

Does the amount of virions transmitted play a role in virulence (beyond minimum infective dose)?

How do micro-organism detect and move towards a food source?

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 08:50 PM PDT

Recently I read a few papers on motility of micro organisms like bacteria and amoeba. Their environment is that of very low Reynold's number therefore they don't have inertia to push or pull, but instead they use drag force generated by their body's surface deformations to move around. This was interesting. But, I had another puzzling doubt as to how these biological swimmers detect food and change their direction accordingly. As far as I know these organisms don't have an information processing center like a brain.

Why do people get sick from eating contaminated food? Wouldn't the bacteria/virus be broken up by stomach acid?

Is it possible for Diatomic Carbon molecule (C2) to exist with Quadruple Bonds?

Posted: 16 Mar 2020 12:32 AM PDT

Carbon atom has a covalency of 4 and as seen in Unsaturated carbon compounds it can form double and triple bonds. So can two carbon atoms form 4 bonds with each other kinda like N2 with Nitrogen-Nitrogen triple bond?

Does the point at which season happen within earths orbit around the sun, change over time?

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 09:03 PM PDT

Considering a full orbit takes 365.25 days, the seasons should shift slowly, right? Hence leap years.

How much does the 'Ship of Theseus' concept apply to the human brain?

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 08:25 AM PDT

(for those who haven't heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus)

I was thinking about consciousness and it really messed with me trying to wrap my head around what it really was. Like what if a long time after I die someone recreates my brain exactly using some kind of machine and puts it in a body. Would that be the same consciousness that I am now? This also applied to stuff like teleportation and cloning.

Also, how far can you replace parts of the brain before you stop being 'you'? I know we don't have that technology yet but theoretically? I guess replacing a couple bits and bobs here and there should be fine. Like the amygdala. But what about say the hippocampus or something?

How do people that are asymptomatic spread a virus?

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 02:31 AM PDT

Coronavirus for example can cause coughing, I can see how the virus is spread that way. But if you are asymptomatic and not coughing how does it spread?

If solar panels convert heat from the sun to electricity, can they reduce the overall heating of atmosphere and, in turn, lower the global temperature?

Why are all planets every found spherical in shape? And not some other weird shape?
