Does the core of the earth rotate at the same rate as the surface? If it's slower, does that friction contribute to the present in the core and outer core?

How do leaves know when to turn red and fall off? Is it due to temperature changes?

When developing a vaccine, what are the common setbacks you can encounter?

Posted: 10 Oct 2020 02:21 AM PDT

This isn't COVID-19 specific, but the COVID vaccine being developed in my country has been paused a number of times due to one trial member becoming unwell.

Aside from being infected from a live-attenuated vaccine, what other issues do you encounter? What about non-live vaccines?

Why didn't the H1N1 Pandemic affect the world as much as COVID-19 did and still is affecting it massively?

How did we find out electrical currents are made of negative charges, rather than positive?

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 11:23 AM PDT

As I understand it (I may have it wrong) the reason conventional current flows in the "wrong" direction is that Benjamin Franklin (and I assume other people of his time) thought electrical currents were made out of positive charges.

How and when did we realize this was not the case?

What's the deal with Centrifugal force?

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 10:56 PM PDT

Some say it's a fictional force, and that only centripetal force exists. But then, why do vehicles move away from the center of the round-about when going around one, rather than towards it? Could someone please help me with this?

What is actually the double slit experiment?

Posted: 10 Oct 2020 02:36 AM PDT

As far as I understand , when photons are emitted one by one via two slits they begin to show an interference pattern behind the slit , but if we observe it before it passes through the slit, there will only be two bright fringes on the screen

But I can't find any video or pictures regarding the second case where only two fringes are formed

Did I understood wrong ?

Thanks

When an electric vehicle drives does each battery cell use its power one by one? Or do they all slowly lose power at the same time?

Can cancer be contagious?

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:17 PM PDT

I'm not referring to things like oncogenic viruses or infectious agents that can cause cancer; rather, if cancerous material from one individual (say a fleck of a tumor) enters another individual (say it got into their bloodstream through a cut), could it thrive in the host environment?

I'm guessing the immune response would make this difficult, but given that cancers replicate so quickly and aggressively, could this happen?

What are the coronavirus effects on the brain?

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 10:29 AM PDT

I read a while back about covid affecting the brain on some patients, I was wondering what exactly it does.

Which place on Earth is more shielded from charged particles coming with solar wind?

Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:22 PM PDT

As far as I understood, the Earth's Van Allen belts are the thickest an the equator, while in the polar regions something called polar cusps exist, which are the special regions in Earth's magnetosphere where the charged particles are not trapped but funneled down into the atmosphere which causes the events like the auroras.

Does this mean that polar regions of the Earth and their inhabitants are more exposed to the harmful charged particles brought by the solar wind?

Further, if that's the case, how does this exposure compare with the exposure closer to the equator? As I understand, there will be less exposure to the charged particles but more exposure to the UV and other types of radiation because of the longer daytime duration.

Do the auroras represent the particles that have already lost their energy by ionizing the atmosphere and are no longer dangerous?

In the “carbon budgets” we often see in climate policy reports, are they also budgeted for other gases e.g methane, NOx, HCFCs etc?
