- How do the vitamin and mineral compositions of vegetables stay so consistent, despite such varied growing conditions?
- Can someone who understands earthquakes explain this to me?
- How are viruses kept alive and bred to study them and experiment on them? Especially if they have very specific hosts... and those hosts can only be humans?
- Are all the individual stars we see in the milky way?
- Where can one find equations/mathematical description of a non imagining Fresnel lens?
- Why do quantum processors require WAY more cooling vs conventional computing?
- How does chickenpox continue to survive?
- If quarks are point-like particles and also probability waves, how are scientists able to differentiate between protons and neutrons or able to add/remove protons or neutrons from the nucleus? Wouldn't the atomic nucleus be a probability-blur of up/down quarks, gluons, and (maybe) mesons?
- Is it possible for someone to lose their ability to sleep?
- How does a virion assemble itself so perfectly in an infected cell?
- Why are some trisomies lethal and some are not?
- What does COVID 19 RNA detected on a test mean?
- Could we find a way to destroy viruses by damaging/altering their DNA/RNA?
- In almost every nature documentary about venomous snakes/spiders there is a part about how "even though the snake/spider kills X people every year, his venom may be used to develop new drugs". Is there any well known drug developed from snake/spider venom?
| Can other animals be allergic to us? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 06:39 PM PDT We all know that people can be allergic to cats and dogs but is the opposite true? Can our pets be allergic us? If so, is this just in mammals or across all/most species? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 04:00 AM PDT Hello Reddit, I'm Dr Kate Woodthorpe from the Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath. I've been working on funeral practices, costs, bereavement, place of death, attitudes to death and the disposal of bodies via cremation and burial for nearly 20 years. I'm here to talk about any of these, and more, in relation to the current global Covid-19 pandemic. Hello Reddit, I'm Dr Hannah Rumble from the Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath. I've been researching funeral practices and attitudes to death and the disposal of corpses via (direct) cremation and (natural) burial for 14 years. I'm here to talk about any of these and more, in relation to the current global Covid-19 pandemic. My qualitative research has mostly been conducted in Britain, but as a social anthropologist by training I am interested in cross cultural comparative practices and values also. We will be on at 7pm (GMT+1) [2 PM ET, 16 UT], ask us anything! Usernames: UniversityofBath [link] [comments]  |

| Geologically, why was there just the one continent, Pangea? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:13 AM PDT It seems unlikely that there was just one large continent. How did this come about, geologically? [link] [comments]  |
| Could an atomic nucleus be donut shaped? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:16 PM PDT I read a tiny bit about atomic nuclei, and saw that radium atoms nuclei were pear shaped, and not like others spherical or rugby ball shaped, so are other shapes possible too? Would something like that be more stable at high atomic numbers? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:47 AM PDT As far as I've read, a sweet potato/yam grown in Peru and a sweet potato/yam grown in Japan will have relatively consistent nutritional profiles. How is this possible in light of terroir and talk of how some soils are more fertile than others? To pick a specific mineral: sweet potatoes contain calcium, a chemical element that can't be synthesised by a plant. Is there roughly the same amount of calcium in all soils? What happens after 1, 2, 5, 10 years, when the vegetables are consistently being harvested and replanted? Does that deplete the calcium? How does it get replenished? [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone who understands earthquakes explain this to me? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:18 AM PDT My area had a 5.7 earthquake a month ago and then the aftershocks died down and they left my mind and then out of nowhere on Tuesday a 4.2 aftershock hits and now today there's another 4.2 aftershock?? I'm so confused. This is my first earthquake. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:25 PM PDT I can imagine keeping a type of bacteria almost indefinitely alive, in more or less "concentrated" state, by feeding it sterilized nutrients and isolating it from contamination. But don't viruses feed on other organisms' cells, and are very choosy regarding which organisms they can parasitically infect (without mutating)? And die without having found such a host? (Of course, specific example would be SARS-CoV2 which ostensibly needs human tissue to survive.) How can you keep and breed "colonies" of a very specific virus alive in a scientific setting to have it on hand to study it and experiment with it? Do you find fresh infected specimens every time you need it? What about rare and almost "extinct" (i. e. rarely encountered) viruses such as Yersinia pestis, studied for years in "plague centers"? Do they store their specimens somehow; repeatedly infect test animals; or study them in "bursts" when found? Or do they simply "feed them flesh" from suitable hosts (humans or animals) every day?

| Why do quantum processors require WAY more cooling vs conventional computing? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 08:58 PM PDT Conventional computing can even work with passive or little active cooling (very cheap). But quantum processors require literally thousands or even millions of dollars worth of cooling equipment. Does Quantum process's superposition of both 0 and 1 really increase the heat output THAT much? (like 1000x?) [link] [comments]  |
| How does chickenpox continue to survive? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:21 AM PDT Everyone I know has had chickenpox when they were young, how does it continue to infect new hosts? Who are the vectors? [link] [comments]  |

| What does COVID 19 RNA detected on a test mean? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 03:14 AM PDT Hey guys. I hope this is okay for the forum, but I have a question about my COVID 19 results. The first line of my results says "Not Detected - COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) not detected by rRT-PCR. Presumptive Positive - COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA detected by rRT-PCR." What exactly does this mean? What is the difference between having COVID-19 and having COVID-19 RNA? [link] [comments]  |
| Could we find a way to destroy viruses by damaging/altering their DNA/RNA? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 02:24 PM PDT Could we instruct viruses to self destruct or sabotage their machinery to inhibit growth? They use RNA/DNA to instruct the host cell to produce their proteins and replicate , so could we in a way "do the same", but to our advantage? [link] [comments]  |
