Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:06 AM PST the only reason I can think of is more protons=stronger attraction of negatively charged electrons, but is that it or is there another reason? [link] [comments] |
How do experts come to know that the recent British strain of COVID-19 is ~ 70% more transmissible? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 02:34 PM PST Is it because the virus needs less of its particles to infect? Is it longer lasting in the air? What exactly makes it more transmissible and does that change the currently accepted measures (masks or distancing making less of a difference for example)? Thanks!

Does the latent heat of water decrease or increase with increase in pressure? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 01:07 AM PST In my textbook, it says that latent heat of water decreases with increase in pressure. My understanding, is that the amount of heat we need to supply, to convert it from liquid to vapour decreases with increase in pressure. Isn't it also true, that with a decrease in pressure, water converts more readily to steam. Which is why at higher altitudes, the boiling point is lower than 100 deg C. These seem to contradict each other and I'm somewhat confused. [link] [comments] |
Why does Cherenkov radiation happen? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:38 AM PST I understand that Cherenkov radiation occurs when a charged particle(usually an electron) moves faster than the speed of light in a medium(usually light water). It's similar to a sonic boom where an object moves faster than the speed of sound in air. What I don't understand is why water slows down light by a lot but only slows electrons by a relatively small amount. Say for instance you had an electron gun and a photon emitter in outer space. There's no way that the electron could ever travel faster than the photon. But somehow in water the photon is slowed down so much that it is possible for the electron to exceed its speed. Why is that? [link] [comments] |
Should we see a mild flu season? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:43 AM PST In theory, should we be seeing a lower than average amount of flu cases this year due to the enhanced social distancing, mask wearing, and sanitization? Will we actually? Why or why not? [link] [comments] |
Could the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine work for SARS-CoV? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 01:34 PM PST I was reading a research article about the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2 and read it was very similar to the SARS-CoV spike protein but with a higher affinity for the ACE2 receptor. Since they both target that receptor and they're similar in structure, could the vaccine work for both viruses? [link] [comments] |

What causes fluctuations in thermodynamic equilibrium? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 04:23 PM PST Why are there "random" decreases of entropy in systems already in thermodynamic equilibrium? Is there anything that causes them? Can they really lead to things like Boltzmann Brains? [link] [comments] |
Will creating vaccines for the new strains of COVID be much faster? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:36 AM PST Now that the first COVID-19 vaccines were created, will the creation of vaccines for the new strains be much quicker? Do the vaccines only need a small alteration to combat a new strain? [link] [comments] |

How does a bacterial and viral vaccine differ? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:44 AM PST This may be dumb but I just realized that there are vaccines for bacteria and viruses. But do they work the same? Do you get a weaker version of both? I know with the new covid vaccines they taget the protein that reproduces but covid is a virus; do bacterial infections like TB, Typhoid, and Hansen's have something similar? [link] [comments] |
Whatever happened to SARS-Cov - the first one? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:07 PM PST SARS vaccine research was being undertaken in Singapore in 2005 by inserting Sars-Cov-1 spike proteins in microbiome bacteria. Is it possible this bacteria snuck out of the lab, secretly immunizing us to SARS-Cov-1? Is that why SARS-Cov-1 never made a comeback? https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/48645831.pdf Why did SARS-1 disappear? [link] [comments] |
Where do cavefish get their vitamin D? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:13 PM PST Do they make their own or what's making it for them in the food chain? [link] [comments] |

Does the uranium used in nuclear reactors ever decay? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:37 AM PST Pretty self explanatory question really, I'm just wondering if through the process of it being used that it ever decays into anything during it's lifetime inside the reactor. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 24 Dec 2020 02:45 PM PST I'm the video game, Ghost of Tsushima, the main character uses a blowgun and poisonous darts (created using the plant Wolfs Bane, AKA Monkshood, as the poison) to kill his enemies. In the game, it's is demonstrated through multiple cutscenes and gameplay animations that the effect of Wolfsbane poison is immediate on the victim, inducing uncontrollable vomiting of blood, as well as choking on their own blood. Is Wolfs Bane as dangerous and poisonous irl as it is portrayed in the game? What would the effects be irl if a human were to be shot with a dart contaminated in this poison? [link] [comments] |
