| Does Global Warming Make Ocean Less Salty? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 04:08 AM PDT I mean, with the huge amount of ice melt, it mean amount of water on the sea increase by a lot while amount of salt on the sea stay the same. That should resulted in ocean get less salty than it used to be, right? and if it does, how does it affect our environment in long run? [link] [comments]  |
| What gives water it's high heat capacity? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:26 PM PDT What gives water it's high heat capacity? I am aware that the hydrogen bonds between water molecules require large amounts of energy to break but it does not make sense to me why the molar and specific heat capacities of water are so high when covalent bonds in other materials are stronger and should require more energy to break.

| Are capsaicin analogues like olvanil, arvanil or phenylacetylrinvanil also spicy in taste? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 01:53 PM PDT These compounds are much stronger TRPV1 agonists than capsaicin, but according to various sources "lack pungency". If they indeed aren't spicy, how does it work? Paper about phenylacetylrinvanil: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8358258_Development_of_the_First_Ultra-Potent_Capsaicinoid_Agonist_at_Transient_Receptor_Potential_Vanilloid_Type_1_TRPV1_Channels_and_Its_Therapeutic_Potential [link] [comments]  |

| Are we already certain that organic compounds and water is out there in the universe? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:32 AM PDT I recently read some news about a comet that passed by Earth around 3 years ago. The article said the comet contained water and organic compounds, such as methanol. In my head, organic compounds and, mainly, water, weren't things we would see in space and not be amazed. I thought the presence of such materials in outer space would be astounding and revolutionary. If there ARE organic compounds and water out there, then it's extremely likely there's also life. Isn't it? Edit: the comet I read about is 46P/Wirtanen. It passed near Earth in 2018. [link] [comments]  |
| How did people measure average global temperature in the 1800s? How do we measure it today? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 06:32 AM PDT Measuring the actual temperature of the earth seems like a massive feat and it looks like we've been measuring that since the 19th century. This site says that it's done by dividing the earth into 2,592 squares and measuring the temperature of each and every one, every day. This definitely sounds possible today with modern technology, and there might be even easier ways to do that with satellites, but I have a hard time imagining how a 19th century industrial world without radio communications would be able to execute this to the same level of precision. Are temperatures from the 19th century and early 20th century taken with a grain of salt from the climate science community, or did they really manage to accurately pull this feat off? I'm also not sure how they do this today so that would be cool to know too. Edit: I just realized that they could also record temperatures from the 19th century retroactively. How is that done, and can they collect enough to data from this to get an accurate measurement? [link] [comments]  |

| Can one be allergic to milk without being allergic to casein? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:01 AM PDT Or do they go hand in hand? I saw an article about a new way to make cheese that will hit in 2023 using casein made by inserting DNA sequences into microbes. If it's possible to be allergic to milk without being allergic to casein, would this be an incredible breakthrough or is anyone allergic to milk still going to be unable to try or enjoy this?

| How is earth's relative rotation position determined? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:21 PM PDT The earth's rotation duration isn't constant but rather fluctuate ever so slightly, but... based on what? If location is relative, then where are we basing our rotation complete marker at? Kinda like how a solar day and a sidereal day differs, but how to tell, and to the milliseconds at that? Somewhat related though, how is a new bleeding-edge accurate clock's accuracy determined, if nothing else that we know of is more accurate? How can one says if this new atomic clock only loses a second over a billion or a trillion year? Relatively to what? [link] [comments]  |

| Why is the charge of a battery non-linearly proportional to the bounce height of the battery? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:00 AM PDT A fully-charged battery hardly bounces when dropped. Where as, a half-charged battery jumps as much as the same as a battery with no charge at all. Why isn't the relation of charge with bounce height linear? [link] [comments]  |
| Does purpose / meaning help one overcome adversity? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:23 AM PDT From many anecdotal accounts, having a purpose / having meaning in life can help one overcome adversity. One example is Viktor Frankl, who explained in his book "Man's Search for Meaning" that having a sense of purpose helped him survive a concentration camp. [link] [comments]  |
