Why does the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine require two separate doses instead of one combined dose?

Posted: 14 Aug 2021 07:06 AM PDT

Also why do they need to be taken weeks apart and not in the same day?

What do antibodies look like in our blood?

If you could see them when you prick your finger, what would they look like?

We all know what optical and auditory illusions are, but what are some good olfactory illusions? Or taste illusions, whatever you would call them.

How are earthquakes and droughts related?

I was reading a story about droughts preceding earthquakes and I am very interested! Have you heard of this?

Question for microbiologists. Is Naegleria in Washington rivers or is it only in the south?

How does the immune system fight off prions?

Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:50 AM PDT

I don't know much about the immune system or prions, but I have heard prions aren't bacteria or a virus and that many of them don't have any known cure or any way to defend against them. What makes them so much different and why does our bodies have such a difficult time dealing with them?

Is it possible for head injuries to affect the hair follicles in any way? If yes, does it affect hair growth?

Why is there an upper limit to solubility? Why does a substance become saturated?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 12:33 PM PDT

Take water and nitrogen or sugar and water as examples. Why can't I dissolve any amount of water I want into the air or any amount of sugar I want into a cup of water? What physically stops me? Is it simply a matter of the solvent keeping the solute suspended like dust in a stream?

My perspective is from Physics so I've been trying to wrap my head around the thermodynamics of the situation but the enthalpy angle doesn't seem to help me get a instinctual understanding of what's occurring...

How many known sounds are there in all the world’s languages combined?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 01:46 PM PDT

Pretty much the title. There seem to be so many possible sound combinations, but there must be a limited number of known sounds. If they have been tallied, how many do they total?

What makes it so that a new COVID-19 mutation is able to 'get around' our vaccinations?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 10:49 AM PDT

I apologize for the frequently asked question. I'm sure everyone wants to know.

Are the Earth's tectonic plates deforming?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 12:36 PM PDT

I've looked in the FAQ and read the Rift Formation entry and the Plate Motion entry, but I still don't understand something I saw on Wikipedia (I know, I know, not a primary source, but that's why I'm coming here for clarity!)

This image shows a simplified view of the major plates and their motions relative to each other:

I've noticed several of the plates are not moving "uniformly" in one direction. Take the African Plate, for example. The western side is pulling away from the South American plate (in an easterly direction, roughly) but the south-eastern side is pulling away from the Australian plate (in a north-westerly direction). The northern side is pulling away from the Middle Eastern plate (in a roughly southern direction).

This would suggest to me that the African plate is deforming by collapsing in on itself. Either it must be "getting thicker", or material is being pushed further into the Earth, or possibly the 2D "shape" is changing. Are any of these assumptions true? It seems this is occurring to several of the plates in this image.

Which country in the world has lowest pharmaceutical drug use?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 09:39 PM PDT

Meaning, of the countries with the infrastructure to synthesize and distribute pharmaceutical drugs, which one has the lowest rate of use? Somewhere like Somalia may be the actual answer, but I'm not counting this because they simply lack the means to do so. I'm interesting in tracking different metrics of health and this is currently what I'm after. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Is there a maximum for batterie capacity?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 10:05 AM PDT

Is there a theoretical maximum of what a future batterie could have in terms of energy density? Or will there be cars in the future that can drive thousands of kilometers on charge?

Would an atomic bomb produce two mushroom clouds in opposite directions if the bomb was released in the sky?

With a car traveling at speed, and the centrifugal force acting on the tires - would the pressure inside the tire be any less than a car at rest?
