- How come the majority of people in the world are right-handed?
- We have nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers. Why are there not nuclear powered spacecraft?
- For one in five people who reported a rash and were confirmed as being infected with coronavirus, the rash was their only symptom, so does this suggest that deliberately introducing the virus to the skin might be a way of (relatively safely) stimulating an immune response?
- If retroviruses insert their DNA into our genome, is there a chance that retrovirus DNA could be inserted in the middle of a vital gene and cut it off, causing birth defects?
- If the Oxford Trial for a potential Covid virus is going to phase 3 around the end of the year, how can Astra Zenica be producing 400 million units of it by October?
- How flat could an exoplanet get?
- Would getting a COVID-19 vaccine be advisable after you have already contracted and recovered from it?
- How much energy is used by the data center vs. home computer/internet use when streaming a video?
- How did the Spanish flu pandemic end? I've read about humans obtaining 'collective immunity' but not sure how that was achieved. Does the end to that pandemic give us any idea of how the current covid19 pandemic may end?
- Nuclear Explosion in Space?
- Is there a generally accepted scientific definition for brainwashing in the psychology field?
- Do people with allergies still get allergic responses if they acquire AIDS?
- Any more details about how long COVID-19 lives on surfaces?
- What causes the curve in the tail of the comets?
- Where do the majority of neanderthal finds come from?
- How well do coins carry germs/viruses?
- Do neurons have special proteins to achieve further precise control of alternative splicing?
- Theoretically, could a tool like CRISPR be used to knockout specific genes within the SARS-COV-2 Virus, intentionally making it less deadly? Has any genuine work been put into such a project with this virus or any others?
- In layman’s terms, what are the differences between various units of “brightness”?

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:01 AM PDT Edit: I'm most curious about propulsion. Thanks for the great answers everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Jul 2020 03:21 AM PDT Question is based on this new preprint from Kings College https://www.selectscience.net/industry-news/kcl-study-suggests-skin-rash-should-be-considered-the-fourth-key-symptom-of-covid-19/?&artID=51982 [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:51 PM PDT According to the Guardian newspaper, "AstraZeneca has agreed to supply 100m doses of the Oxford vaccine to Britain, with manufacturing plans already begun and delivery scheduled for September or October. The AstraZeneca deal will provide the US with 300m doses." If they don't know if it is going to work effectively or not are they just producing vials of a vaccine that will end up being destroyed? I'm assuming it's to get a head start on production if the vaccine proves efficient enough. Is this what normally happens? Thanks for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| How flat could an exoplanet get? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 04:44 AM PDT As in the terrain being similar to a salt flat. If a planet had high gravity and was not tectonically active would that result in extremely flat terrain? Are there other mechanisms that could result in similar terrain? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 03:51 PM PDT I know this is a fairly hypothetical question at this point as we don't know yet what vaccine will be most effective but is there any evidence to support the question one way or the other from other similar diseases? The leading literature on the front runner vaccines shows better immune response than those that contract the virus itself but will it's response still be muted if you got a vaccine after the fact?

| How much energy is used by the data center vs. home computer/internet use when streaming a video? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 10:05 PM PDT There are many articles about the vast energy use of data centers due to increases in Netflix/Zoom etc. during Covid. But if the data center is powered renewably, what, if any, is the energy use increase from a viewer level? Does it change based on bitrate (480 vs 720 vs 1080)? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:20 PM PDT What would a nuclear detonation look like in space? Would the lack of matter affect the chain reaction? Would the vacuum limit shockwave? I understand this has most likely never been tested, but I am looking for a generally accepted hypothesis of what it would look like, effects of the detonation, etc. Edit: Well I guess I learned there have been tests at high altitude/near vacuum altitude. So as a follow up question, would a detonation be less "catastrophic" to the surrounding matter at that altitude? Would the lack of a shockwave and matter inhibit the ability to deliver such force across a large distance as it does on the surface? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a generally accepted scientific definition for brainwashing in the psychology field? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:25 PM PDT You see a lot of people talking about brainwashing on reddit- particularly when talking about politics. Is brainwashing generally accepted as being a real and measurable phenomenon, or just a loose concept? [link] [comments]  |

| Any more details about how long COVID-19 lives on surfaces? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 09:04 PM PDT I'd like to find more clarity about how long the virus can live on live on surfaces of things and be transmitted. Can anyone please try to answer these questions or correct me if I'm wrong in what I believe:
I also want to know what environment the virus lives in.

| What causes the curve in the tail of the comets? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 03:05 PM PDT Is it because the comet is going in an elliptical orbit, our perspective changes, or is it because of something else? [link] [comments]  |
| Where do the majority of neanderthal finds come from? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:15 PM PDT From what I understand the first Neanderthal finds were discovered in Germany. However since then what part of the world has the majority of neanderthal finds come? Kind regards. [link] [comments]  |
| How well do coins carry germs/viruses? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:29 PM PDT It seems to me that a lot of coins are made of copper/copper-nickel/copper-zinc, and I've heard that some of these metals can kill germs or viruses, I've seen copper used in hospitals so it must be a sterile material right? How well can microbes travel on coins? [link] [comments]  |

| In layman’s terms, what are the differences between various units of “brightness”? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:46 AM PDT I'm a fanatic of flashlights. I have a few powerful flashlights that are often described as being "brighter than the sun" by my friends when I show them off. What measurement could I utilize to compare the "brightness" of my flashlights to that of the "brightness" of the sun? I'm still a noob to the flashlight subreddit, though I have heard of various units such as lumens, lux, and candela; I have also heard of apparent magnitude, regarding the local differences of "brightness" between stars in the sky.
