| Posted: 03 Jul 2021 03:20 PM PDT Most people have seen the video of the Pemex oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which is spewing flaming oil into the ocean. My first thought after that it looks like CGI from a disaster movie was that maybe it being on fire could be good since the crude oil is burning and won't just sit in the ocean damaging wildlife. Of course the burned oil byproducts are not good for the environment either and the extra heat I'm sure is bad too. Basically as the title states if you're going to have a massive oil spill what are the relative environmental impact differences of it igniting vs just spewing crude oil into the ocean? Edit: People have pointed out in the comments that this was a natural gas leak, not oil. [link] [comments]  |

| How is there a fire in the Gulf of Mexico? And what method are they using to put it out? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 11:39 AM PDT I have been looking at videos of the fire for awhile now. And I am just really not understanding how it's possible. I understand that there is a large fuel leak, but how would ignition even occur accidentally in the ocean? And then we see boats spraying more water on top. What are they trying to accomplish? [link] [comments]  |
| Does temperature affect sound? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 08:28 PM PDT So heat makes molecules speed up and move around faster, and (I believe) sound waves are made by particles vibrating. So wouldn't molecules moving have an effect on their vibration? Or do I just understand these events incorrectly? [link] [comments]  |

| What benefit does it bring to know a number is “digitally delicate prime”? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:26 AM PDT I read an article that Michael Filaseta, of the University of South Carolina has helped proving the existence of "widely digitally delicate prime numbers", even though they don't have an example for such a number yet. First, I thought, it would be great to have such numbers since you can then ignore an infinite amount of numbers when checking for prime numbers. However, I realized to know if a number is a "widely digitally delicate prime number" you actually have to check all potential numbers… So, what is the benefit of knowing a prime is "digitally delicate" or even "widely digitally delicate"? Are there algorithms which help to determine if a number is digitally delicate or widely digitally delicate, without having to check all potential numbers, and thus bringing a huge performance boost when searching for large prime numbers? Or is it just fun to know that such numbers exist and there is no real use to it? [link] [comments]  |

| Harmful phages: do they exist? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 08:40 PM PDT I do know that they don't attack human cells and they specialize in bacteria, but then I realized: there are good bacterias.(probiotics) Is there such a thing as an harmful phage that harms us indirectly by specializing in Lactobacillus, or Bifidobacteria, (insert the entire list of good bacteria types)? If there is, could they be deadly? [link] [comments]  |

| Why does Florida’s panhandle get more rain than central and south Florida? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:18 PM PDT Notably, what causes it to regularly rain over the full year in the panhandle as opposed to central Florida that rains primarily only during summer time. [link] [comments]  |
