Can an adenovirus vector vaccine such as j and j integrate into the human host's DNA, and in turn cause cancer?

Formal demonstration of thermodynamics second law ?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 01:46 AM PDT

Hi,

I am looking for a mathematical demonstration of thermodynamic's second principle. I guess I should look into thermostatistics, but I couldn't find a satisfying source.

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks a lot.

Required time/effort to sequence a virus: now vs then?

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 12:05 PM PDT

In 2003 we saw SARS - a virus 80% identical to the Sars-cov2 that causes COVID-19. In the 16 years between, the average phone today is more powerful than the average desktop PC then... Just the desktop processing capabilities increased by something like 1000%. There have been enormous advances in machine learning, AI, genetics and so on.

Let's say that a guy named Dave worked in a lab in 2003 and in 2019, and he was tasked with gene sequencing both the SARS and Sars-cov2 viruses. How much time would he have needed in 2003 vs 2019? Hours vs days? Days vs weeks?

If we ever get to peer very closely at the actual edge of the observable universe (and correct for the extreme red shift), will we see stars just pop out into blackness as they cross that edge? Will it be an instantaneous disappearing or a slow fade?

For "breakthrough" Covid cases in fully vaccinated people that are deemed to be "mild" (presumably in terms of symptoms), is there still danger of other hidden internal damage (i.e. heart, lungs, etc)?

Is blood the same viscosity throughout the entire body? if not, where is it the thickest?

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 12:24 PM PDT

Earlier today I gave myself a small papercut, and I noticed that the blood was very thin, almost watery. At first I thought it was probably due to the small and surface-level nature of the wound that the bulk of the hemoglobin was being filtered out, or that maybe some amount of lymph or other clear substance was diluting the blood. However, in the past I have experienced deeper lacerations, from which blood has appeared significantly darker and thicker-- closer to syrup than water.

So this got me wondering, neglecting day-to-day differences like dehydration, does the viscosity of human blood change depending on where it is in the body?

Does regaining sense of smell depend on how fast olfactory sensory neurons regrow after being damaged by Covid-19?

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 04:25 PM PDT

I've been trying to find articles and studies about regaining smell back after Covid-19 and through my search, the information that I've found relates to observations of how long after people can expect to regain, but no explanation of what accounts to how quickly recover from loss of smell.

It's something that concerns me that there hasn't been that much urgency to find out about anosmia which I think is significant to lose an important sense and can cause depression.

Also, with the vaccines only preventing or stopping severe infection in the lungs and not also in throat and nose, is another reason of concern for me.

Sorry for any ignorance I've said in my post, I would love to be corrected in my understanding!

If you fly from the South Pole to Quito, Ecuador, where does the ~460 m/s rotational speed come from?

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 11:52 AM PDT

You go from 0 speed relative to the center of Earth to having a horizontal speed of around 460 m/s near the equator. Where does this come from when flying?

How do hydrophobic molecules dissolve?

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 01:31 AM PDT

As I understand it, hydrophilic substance dissolve in water because the charges in different parts of the water molecule attract the opposite ends of the polar bond of the solute. But like dissolves like, so how do hydrophobic solvents dissolve hydrophobic solutes? I don't see any impetus for the solute to dissociate. I'm also particularly interested in the answer to this question in a biological context, e.g. how things might cross cell membranes.
