What are the difficulties to make digital voting for government from home possible?

On the surface, you'd think this isn't a hard problem to solve? What are the gaps in technology/computer science, and what research is being done in this field?

Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology

Posted: 04 Nov 2020 07:08 AM PST

Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology

Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...".

Asking Questions:

Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions.

The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists.

Answering Questions:

Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience.

If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here.

Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here.

Ask away!

If we didn’t need to devote part of our brain to breath and make our heart beat, etc., could our brain use that new amount of space in our brain to do multiple complex tasks at once?

The human brain, while strong, cannot do multiple complex tasks at once. I cannot play video games while writing an essay, cannot cook while studying for school, cannot play with my dog while doing complex math in my head, etc. If I hooked my brain up to some sort of computer, where I had the power of my brain, but didn't have the need to breath, or make my heart beat, or any bodily function, would I be able to use that power that my brain usually expends on all those bodily functions, and use it to be able to do multiple complex tasks at once?

TL;DR: If i could ignore all bodily functions, could my brain use that power usually expended on those functions to be able to do multiple complex tasks at once?

How long can blood cells survive in drying blood?

Posted: 03 Nov 2020 01:28 AM PST

Blood cells can obviously be stored for long periods of time outside the body under controlled conditions. If I were to cut my finger and lose a few drops of blood onto a smooth dry surface, how long would the cells within survive as the blood dried out?

Will the Covid vaccine developed in one country work for another country ?

Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:14 AM PST

I am wondering if the vaccine development itself has anything to do with the demographics and general population characteristics of the country.

Also the testing for the vaccine will be done on the people of the country. Does the company need to test or tweak the vaccine for the demographics pf the country?

Can we spray some ozone in the atmosphere to 'repair' the hole?

Posted: 03 Nov 2020 03:13 AM PST

Was watching a video on how sulphur dioxide is thought to be useful when sprayed in the stratosphere layer, because it can be converted to sulphuric acid which can reflect more UV radiation from the sun and cool the earth. Have scientists thought of the same with ozone?
