| Posted: 19 Oct 2020 06:27 AM PDT For example, all length would be measured by the planck length multiplied to powers of ten, and all time would be measured by planck seconds multiplied to powers of ten. Also, what would the speed of light be in this system? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:17 AM PDT Funny question I know, but is there anything that would fundamentally block this from occurring even at the most perfect and unlikely circumstances? If all the trillions and trillions of air molecules somehow aligned their movement direction to be parallel without colliding with each other -- what would happen? Would (I don't know) gravity force scatter it quickly enough? Or could they really all move to the other side of the room and make you suffocate? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2020 05:48 AM PDT I saw some (possibly) misinformation on IG, but I couldn't find any research to refute or confirm. The general idea is that PTFE masks cause Teflon toxicity and can cause cancer. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

How are "kidney cells in donated fetal tissue" different from "human stem cells"? Is it simply that embryos are different than feti? [link] [comments]  |
| What are the actual statistics on abuse victims becoming abusers themselves? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 07:53 AM PDT I've been searching for the statistics on this for a bit, and I can't find anything useful. Everything I've found either contains irrelevant statistics or research, anecdotal evidence or claims made about statistics/research without any sources. I found one useful source, but it was narrow as far as the form of abuse, and I'm looking for more information about different forms or abuse in general. I've heard arguments for both sides (that victims become abusers and that victims aren't any more likely to become abusers) and I just want to know something approximating the truth. Thank you!

| Do vaccines affect the strain of influenza present each season? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 06:32 PM PDT Is it possible that the seasonal influenza vaccine could affect the strain of influenza that is prevalent in each hemisphere for each season? For example, let's say we develop a flu vaccine for Strain 1 which is effective. But, strain 2 is able to fill the void that is left by strain 1 and thus becomes the predominant strain. This causes people to believe the flu vaccine doesn't work. I hope I worded this correctly! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 18 Oct 2020 04:32 PM PDT I was particularly thinking about dogs, but even then I'd imagine that limited pet-to-pet interactions would prevent anything from spreading on too large of a scale. Could there be another vector that could pass it between household pets? I'm aware of large spread disease passing between crops and livestock but are there lesser known examples with pets?

| What is the Great Barrington Declaration? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 05:29 PM PDT Me mum's anti-vax and she just forwarded me this: https://gbdeclaration.org/ I work long hours so that my family can stay afloat and really don't have the mental capacity to work myself through researching all this. Not to mention I'm no expert in this field. I just trust the experts, stay away from everyone and hope that a vaccine can be figured out relatively quickly. Just some questions as ideas for an answer. I've got no clue what I'm supposed to ask. - What the heck is the Great Barrington Declaration? - What issues are there with it? - Who funds / signs / supports the GBD? Thanks in advance for all answers and discussions. They're much appreciated. I'll check them tomorrow (or in a few days), when I'm a bit more rested. Gonna head to bed for a snooze. Stay safe, everyone! [link] [comments]  |
| What is the risk of having an unexpected severe reaction to the influenza vaccine? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 11:17 AM PDT To help support my conversations with people who have vaccine hesitancy, I'm trying to get information that will allow me to compare the risk of getting the flu shot to the risk of other activities that many of us take on a daily basis. For example, I'd like to compare the risk of getting a serious adverse reaction to the flu shot in the US to the risk of getting in a fatal car crash. The car crash data comes up on a internet search easily: https://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx Obviously the comparison of such drastically different data sets and activities will have limited value but I think it could lead to more productive conversations. Where is the similar data for the flu shot (or any other vaccine)? [link] [comments]  |
| How do the dynode materials in a photomultiplier tube not violate the first law of thermodynamics? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 11:05 AM PDT I'm learning about photomultiplier tubes right now and I'm wondering how the the dynode materials in a PMT... work. What is the molecular process that produces many electrons from one? So an ion hits these materials, and these materials produce a bunch of electrons, which are aimed at more of these materials, which produce more electrons, etc. etc. etc. But how are these electrons produced from... nowhere? The only thing I can think of is that say an electron hits a dynode material with an energy of X. This dynode material produces 10 electrons from this one electron, therefore these 10 electrons much each have an energy of less than X/10 in order to not violate the conservation of energy. Therefore each dynode plate is held at increasingly high voltages to help accelerate these now slowed electrons so when they hit the next plate, they'll produce MORE electrons. Do I have this... correct? [link] [comments]  |
| Why, exactly, are viruses like Influenza and the novel Coronavirus deadlier in older people? Posted: 18 Oct 2020 09:49 AM PDT Why is it that age is such a factor in survivability for diseases like Covid, Influenza and others? What is different about the bodies of the elderly that make them more prone to mortality? [link] [comments]  |

| Why is water a better buffer of bases than acids? Posted: 17 Oct 2020 06:37 PM PDT I read that, for example, if you add 0.1 ml of HCl to 10ml of water, and do the same for 0.1 ml of NaOH. The HCl solution will have a pH of 1.5 and the NaOH solution will have a pH of 11.75, meaning it gets 10 times as acidic as it does basic. Water is neutral, it's HOH, so how come acids have more of an effect on its pH? [link] [comments]  |
