What does the other side of my belly button look like?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 12:25 AM PDT

I'm not even sure this is a meaningful question to ask. Is this just a divit in my belly, and the other side is just flat flesh?

Do all non-plant life forms have pleasure responses to induce them to eat/mate? Is this true for bacteria/microbes?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 05:56 AM PDT

People and animals like eating. Are smaller and more simple life forms motivated the same way?

Can rocky planets have rings?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 07:51 AM PDT

All of the ringed planets in our system are gas giants. Is that just a coincidence, or do rings depend on a certain size or gravity in order to form and remain stable?

If you don’t cover your nose while wearing a mask, how much benefit reduction is there?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 06:29 AM PDT

When we see people not wearing face masks over their nose, there's a lot of people saying, "Why bother?" But there has to be some benefit to covering the mouth alone, right? Just wondering what sorts reduction in benefit is happening here.

Does ethylene break down? I know it ripens fruit, but does ethylene itself get broken down by microbes or fungi?

Why is it that during kidney transplants the recipients kidney is often left in place if it's not causing any issues such as high blood pressure or infection. Would it do any harm to remove it?

Are blind people better or worse at spatial reasoning?

Given enough time for it to play out, is it more likely our immune system would evolve to eventually be impervious to a particular virus, or the virus would evolve to be impervious to our immune system?

We’ve seen population density play a role in COVID-19 transmission. How big a role does population density play for other viruses? Do kids in NYC schools, for instance, get sick more often than kids going to school in other states? Is the common cold more prevalent in NYC? If not, why not?

When meteorologists tell you what temperature it feels like, what instrument to they use to measure that? And if they measured it, why isn't that just the temperature?

Is there a difference between haemoglobin-deficiency and erythrocytes-deficiency? Are they the same?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:39 AM PDT

I have trouble finding a precise answer for this... this is what I know so far:

The cause (for both?) is lack of iron. Which results in lack of red blood cells/haemoglobin = anaemia.
So if that's the case, it seems like you can use them interchangeably... but at the same time I'm thinking why use separate words then?

If this is false please let me know! Any help is greatly appreciated.

How does the SARS-CoV-2 replicative machinery differentiate viral RNA from host RNA?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 08:23 AM PDT

How do the nonstructural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 avoid replicating human RNA while they are replicating the SARS-CoV-2 genome?

Can insects detect when it's about to rain? If so, how, and where do they go to avoid being drowned out of this is so?

How does kinetic force translate to an electric signal in nerves?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 04:13 AM PDT

For example, when i hit my ulnar nerve at the elbow with an object, how does the kinetic stimulation produce the characterstic tingling sensation in the rest of my arm ?

Why and how crystallization of silver and gold happen?

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 06:55 AM PDT

I learnt that this can happen to ancient coins, and they become very brittle.

When paleontologists find an incomplete skeleton (such as a single bone), how do they determine whether what they have is a new species as opposed to being something within the normal range of variation of a known species?

Is there a notable difference in how different types of burns (temperature, chemical, sun) actually burn the skin? If so, what?

Are aerodynamics and hydrodynamics more or less the same bar the medium ?

Posted: 27 Jul 2020 09:37 PM PDT

For example, take a Formula 1 car and run it along the sea floor. Assuming the sea floor was flat, would the same principles of downforce apply ? Would you still get a Venturi effect underneath the car ? If the undertray suddenly lost that effect, would the front end rise up and flip the car backwards ? Would a plane wing still exhibit lift ?

Is The 10,000 Hour Rule Myth or Reality?

Was Pangea mostly flat?

Posted: 27 Jul 2020 10:01 AM PDT

I was driving across the US Midwest last night reflecting on how flat it is. As I understand it, hills and mountains form when the earth's tectonic plates shift. Since Pangea existed before plates shifted, does this mean that Pangea was mostly flat compared to today's geography?

When does the heart start pumping?

Posted: 27 Jul 2020 12:17 PM PDT

The heart pumps blood which is the basis for other functioning organs. But when does the heart start pumping and what starts the heart in the first place? I assume theres much facilitation from the mother, but what are the requirements for a self sustaining heart and when is the heart actively doing its job?

In other words what is developmentally necessary for the fetus to begin pumping blood?

What dictates a hurricane's path? How accurately can we actually predict it?

Hurricane Douglas came knocking on Hawaii's doors but very graciously went northwest and just said hello to all the islands.
