Radio/wifi are specific wavelengths in the EM spectrum. So is visible light... Can we encode information into visible light the same way we do in Wifi?

i.e. Is it possible to build a super specialized router and receiver, then say, use the internet via "Orange signal".

What happens if someone receives a vaccination for a virus they are already infected with?

Posted: 28 Jun 2020 12:05 AM PDT

(I thought of this due to current events, but the question applies to all viruses, which is why I chose the Human Body flair)

Why are metallic solids typically denser than ionic solids?

Is this to do with bond length, atom size or other factors?

Why do mosquitoes bite some people, but not others?

Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:32 AM PDT

I'm just curious is it the type of blood some people or their scent? My mom and I both have always gotten bitten every time we leave the house living in Florida and my dad only gets bit maybe once a year, If that.

How is the Nile the "disputed" longest river in the world along with the Amazon, can't we objectively measure them?

Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:59 PM PDT

Wikipedia says the Nile is the disputed longest river in the world because Brazil claims the Amazon is the longest.

How do TV/Radio stations know their monthly or daily listeners?

Posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:24 AM PDT

Not sure if my flair is correct, apologies. I understand that radio stations would broadcast their transmissions through radio waves (obviously) but how on Earth does the station know how many people are listening?

Do dogs and cats have a “natural sleep cycle” and if so what is it?

Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:07 AM PDT

It seems like my dog will nap all day and sleep all night if nothing is going on, but will be awake at any time something interesting is happening. And I hear about cats that act nocturnal, but cats I have had in the past seemed to mostly keep to daytime hours. Is there a normal "circadian rhythm"?

Any data for SARS-CoV-2 antibody titer levels needed for protection?

Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:56 AM PDT

I realize that this is probably a resounding "no" given how so many things are still uncertain, but has there been any research on what antibody titer levels are considered to be protective against SARS-CoV-2? Or even a ballpark number?

The media and certain studies are reporting that antibody titers decrease after fighting off the infection... which is normal and expected. But how low is too low for continued protection?

Is there any species that was once native to area, left, then came back and was considered invasive?

Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:40 PM PDT

Plant or animal? Perhaps when continents moved apart? Not sure which flair best applies.

Why do the gas giants in our solar system spin so much faster than the inner terrestrial planets?

Posted: 26 Jun 2020 09:39 PM PDT

Is this because they are gaseous or because they are further from the sun than the terrestrial planets?

Can blood drinking animals (ticks, mosquitoes) OD from medications in your blood?

I had a deer tick nymph on me yesterday and once we removed it we realized it was attached to me but dead. We didn't kill it removing it. I had taken an opioid pain killer before bed the night before, did the tick die from the drug?
