ie: is there any mass that breaks the standard rules of how elements work?

Do astronomers correct images of oblique galaxies due to the time differences from the far side to the near side?

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 06:26 AM PDT

The far side of a galaxy (viewed say close to flat) for a galaxy of diameter say 200,000 light years will be seen to have rotated for 200k years less than the near side. Is this 'twist' noticeable and is it corrected or given the slow rotational speed of a typical galaxy is it imperceptible?

Are there any diseases where a usual stop codon actually codes for an amino acid?

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 08:38 AM PDT

This would create many unnecessarily long proteins which I'm sure is "not advantageous" at best. Would an organism ever survive if this type of disease occurred?

What’s the process of hospitals adopting new medical practices as new medical information is discovered?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 09:47 AM PDT

Are there meetings were doctors go over new medical discoveries and choose which ones they trust to implement? Is it purely a cost issue? Are there approval barriers? Thanks!

Question between definition of force and the weak force?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 05:01 PM PDT

So I never understood how the weak force pushes or pulls objects, as that is the layman's definition of a force, does the weak force push or pull like other forces or is it that the definition of a force break down?

Is there any measurable change in the forces we experience when the direction of Earth's tilt starts to change on the solstice?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 10:03 PM PDT

Is there something along the lines of a subtle bump that might knock everyone over if it were more obvious?

Does the Earth's slowly shifting axis eventually changes the day of the solstices or does it stays the same?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 05:55 PM PDT

That's basically it I just want to know if the solstices always were and always will be on June and December 21st and why

What triggers the start of puberty?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 12:57 PM PDT

I learned in school that puberty occurs around the age of 14 and that it is kick started by the release of certain hormones. I have three questions about this subject:

  1. What is the trigger for the release of these hormones?
  2. How does this trigger vary between the sexes?
  3. How does this trigger vary between different species?

Is it possible for covid to infect my pet fish? If not, how about amphibians with lungs?

Cow Urine is a controversial and politically charged topic in India. Many Indian scientists has studied it and found antimicrobial and other beneficial properties. Are these claims true?

Posted: 20 Jun 2021 10:32 PM PDT

So I've many questions about cow urine (CU).
There are papers suggesting that CU contains Aurum Hydroxide, phenols, manganese, and antioxidants which gives it antimicrobial properties and helps reduce free radicals.

Here's a review paper mentioning several such studies.

Here are the highights of claimed properties of CU in this review paper:
1. CU is an effective antibacterial agent against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and also against some drug-resistant bacteria. It acts as a bio-enhancer of some antimicrobial drugs.

  1. Antioxidant property of uric acid and allantoin present in CU correlates with its anticancer effect.

  2. In these studies the antimicrobial activity of CU was found to be comparable with ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, rifampicin, tetracycline, streptomycin, cefpodoxime and gentamycin in different studies.

  3. After photoactivation and purification, CU has been found to be effective against certain drug resistant bacterial strains

  4. Fungicidal effect against Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus, Malassezia, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata has been observed in various studies.

  5. Enhanced wound healing activity of CU in Wistar albino rats.

  6. CU has antioxidant properties and is a free radical scavenger, and thus it neutralizes the oxidative stress.

  7. Chemopreventive potential of CU was observed in a study, which was conducted on 70 Swiss albino mice for 16 weeks. Papillomas were induced by 7, 12 dimethyl benzanthracene and later promoted by repeated application of croton oil. In mice treated with CU, the incidence of tumor (papillomas), tumor yield, and its burden was statistically less than the untreated group.

Are these claims really true and CU has these medicinal properties? What does the mainstream science say about this?

Q1: What era in the fossil record would have had the greatest biodiversity? Q2: What era would have the largest number of megafauna?

Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:03 PM PDT

My assumption for biodiversity would be either early Cretaceous or the Carboniferous era for biodiversity. As for megafauna, I would guess some time within the Cenozoic, maybe ~ 20 mya?

While I recognize that the blue whale (currently alive) is a big beastie, the anthropocene era seems to be one of declining diversity and size for large animals.
