How exactly do quantum computers simulate molecular/particle interactions better than classical computers?

I'm struggling to understand why quantum computers can simulate nature better than classical computers.

What are the advantages of mRNA / lipid droplet vaccines over viral vector and other existing vaccine types?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 05:42 PM PDT

In my simplistic model, both the lipid and viral vectors achieve the same thing: deliver rna/DNA to the cell so it can produce virus proteins to train the immune system. But the lipid vaccines are difficult to store and administer. (Perhaps also hard to manufacture?) Anyways, I'm guessing there's an advantage to make the trade off worth it. I'm curious what that is!

Have viruses ever become a permanent part of human DNA? If so, what function(s) do they add/augment in humans?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 10:10 AM PDT

I have read before that viruses have become part of human DNA, but little more is said about it. So many questions... Are these viruses subsumed whole, or just parts? Have we located specific sequences that are provable used-to-be-virus? What kinds of function(s) do these sequences perform? forget apes, are humans just really evolved cooperatives of viruses? I mean anything that seems pertinent to this topic is game.

When a plant branches, does this affect the rate of growth of the branches?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 07:56 AM PDT

I was thinking about this looking at my pothos plants. 2 of the 3 have started branching off. Will the combined growth of the branches equal the growth of the unbranched plant or are all the nodes capable of the same growth, branched or unbranched?

In chimeras, why doesn't the immune system recognise one of the cell lineages as a foreign material and attack it?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 07:51 AM PDT

Immune systems attack anyone that doesn't match the right antigen, but in chimeras, theres 2 different cell lineages, and it makes sense that there would theoretically be 2 significantly different antigen marker...

Is there a formula relating distance between 2 coils to the mutual inductance?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 07:36 AM PDT

According to this website: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/inductor/mutual-inductance.html, it says that 'the effect of mutual inductance is very much dependent upon the relative positions or spacing, ( S ) of the two coils and this is demonstrated below.' However it did not provide any formula relating distance to mutual inductance. So I was wondering whether there is a formula that relates the distance between the 2 coils to the mutual inductance.

How many strains of flu are around in an average year?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 09:39 AM PDT

My understanding is that the flu vaccine is based on which strains from the previous year were the worst. So, how many are scientists choosing from?

Explain physiologically why it is okay to run while pregnant? How does the baby not get shaken about inside?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 07:32 AM PDT

In my head it makes sense that when a pregnant woman runs the baby is being shaken about. I know the healthcare guidance is that it is okay to play sports while pregnant. Can someone explain physiologically how the baby doesn't get shaken around?

Thanks

When you get stung by a bee, the skin around the bite will swell. What is the process that produces the swelling? Also, can you use terms I am familiar with like vector, allergen, inflammation, and WBC?

Why does radiation therapy for dogs not cause broad hair loss the way it does in humans?

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 06:17 AM PDT

I know it can still affect their fur in kind of a targeted way, but not really the sort of full baldness that humans can experience.
