Does reducing the swelling on a injury (like putting ice on a sprain) has any healing benefits or is just to reduce the "look" and "feel" of a swollen injury? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 02:30 PM PDT Just wanted to know if its one of those things that we do just to reduce the discomfort even though the body has a purpose for it...kind of like a fever. submitted by /u/mrrobc97 [link] [comments]

Would a thermonuclear bomb be more powerful if it used an heavier element? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 03:30 AM PDT So i recently read about the H-Bomb out of curiosity, and from what i understand the way it works is by fusing the hydrogen nucleus, having a small percentage of its mass turn into a ridiculous amount of energy which becomes the explosion. Supposedly the reason why hydrogen is used is due to it being easier to fuse, but hypothetically, if we were able to easily fuse heavier elements, would the resulting explosion be more powerful? submitted by /u/whitekaj [link] [comments]

Do artificial flavors have any similarities other than tasting alike? Do similar tastes chemically "look" the same? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 01:11 PM PDT I forgot to add "similarities with the taste they are trying to synthesize" submitted by /u/No_Variation_6639 [link] [comments]

How is a random iridescent steel anodize accomplished with titanium oxide? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 02:06 PM PDT I understand that titanium oxide can be anodized onto steel via electrolysis. I also understand that the color of the anodize is determined by the voltage. But, I do not understand how multi-colored or iridescent finish is accomplished via this method. Here is an example. ​ How does one get a varied random iridescent finish via this method? ​ https://www.puremetalcards.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Pure-Metal-Cards-iridescent-metal-card-01.jpg ​ https://media.officedepot.com/image/upload/b_rgb:FFFFFF,c_pad,dpr_1.0,f_auto,h_666,q_auto,w_500/c_pad,h_666,w_500/v1/products/7282284/7282284_p_mind_reader_rainbow_pitcher?pgw=1 ​ https://image.rakuten.co.jp/digisto/cabinet/c50/1_z151sp_600.jpg submitted by /u/healing_goose [link] [comments]

Will global warming cause different areas of he world to have varied rainfall levels? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:39 AM PDT For example, Would an area that historically have low annual rainfall see that trend start to shit towards more rain and other areas where it rains frequently to see levels drop? submitted by /u/santman29 [link] [comments]

What is the native range of houseflies? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 07:59 PM PDT I genuinely couldn't find it by just googling, I wonder if it's something that anyone even knows. submitted by /u/thehuman2cs [link] [comments]

Can octopi survive with less than 3 hearts? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:09 PM PDT Just found out that octopi have three hearts: one for pumping blood to the body, and two for pumping blood to the gills. With these being so (seemingly) specialized, is it possible for an octopus to survive if one of the hearts becomes inoperable? If so, does it matter which one of the hearts it is (for example, can a 'gill' heart take over for the other but not for the 'body' heart)? submitted by /u/__JDQ__ [link] [comments]

Are there any living beings that can only be seen outside of our visible spectrum of light? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 07:18 PM PDT If no, is it possible for such creatures to exist? submitted by /u/seeseasee [link] [comments]

Can meat get cancer? Could it still be eaten? Would the meat taste different? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 05:17 PM PDT I don't mean does meat cause cancer in humans I mean can say cow or pig meat get cancer and is that still edible with proper cooking submitted by /u/ryannitar [link] [comments]

How do goldfish grow in proportion to their environment? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 04:33 PM PDT There have been multiple instances of very large goldfish caught in the wild in America. How do they grow so large in bigger bodies of water? My understanding is goldfish in tanks can die from over feeding, so access to resources is unlikely to be the cause for limited growth. Thanks! submitted by /u/igotthetroublemaker [link] [comments]

How does the difference in temperature between seasons work? Posted: 15 Jul 2021 05:09 PM PDT How come in the winter it could be sunny and clear but only 10 degrees and in the summer it could also be sunny and clear but be 30 degrees? submitted by /u/qdawg69420 [link] [comments]
