Why does the immune system take so long (years) to defeat the HPV virus?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 10:07 AM PDT

I have a limited understanding of medicine. It seems to me however that the immune system is typically able to deal with viral infections within a few weeks to months depending on type and severity. However HPV virus sometime takes years to defeat.

Is getting tongue-tied a very minor form of aphasia, or are the causes completely different?

Why are earthquakes displayed as a single epicentre when, in truth, they are usually a rip along kilometres of faultline (why not display as a wiggly line instead)?

The Higgs field is said to have imaginary mass. What does this mean, and how does it differ from regular mass?

Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 07:00 AM PDT

Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science

Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...".

Asking Questions:

Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists.

Answering Questions:

Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience.

If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here.

Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away!

Why do soybeans curd? Why don't other legumes curd?

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 08:05 AM PDT

I was looking for alternatives for making tofu. My grocery store doesn't have soybeans. All the alternative legumes are made into a milk, reduced to a paste, and then chilled. Tofu is made like mozzarella (when using unpasteurized milk). Only soybeans can be curdled with vinegar. Why?

seismologist (earth quake scientists) can I ask a question about the earth quake in Melbourne Australia today?

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 04:04 AM PDT

I'm quite disturbed my city experienced such a high magnitude earthquake at 6.0 today.

Luckily not much damage occurred but 6.0 for Melbourne is very very unusual and I'm wondering why it happened.

One question that I really want answered is

The massive earthquake which struck Christchurch NZ in 2011 was a magnitude of 6.2 and that was a total disaster.

So what I'm saying is their was a 0.2x difference between our earthquakes but our damage was no where as bad.

Our epicentre was in Mansfield which is a country town so it was a couple of hours away from the city (185km)

But if our epicentre was in the city would that have caused much more damage? Such as Christ church.

Sorry I'm just really confused and worried it will happen again but in the city

How do radioactive isotopes still exist in nature?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:06 PM PDT

Mostly just wondering how they haven't all completely decayed. Also at some point in the future will natural radioactive isotopes no longer exist on earth?

Has there ever been a lifelong case of anterograde amnesia?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 06:17 PM PDT

Has there ever been an instance of someone never developing the ability to form memories, either due to the necessary parts of the brain not developing or an amnesia-causing event?

Does the moon reflect heat?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:42 PM PDT

If light and heat are types of radiation and the moon reflects light maybe its possible, also is a full moon night warmer than a new moon one?

Why do dogs only need one rabies shot, but humans need multiple?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 01:12 PM PDT

Why do dogs just get a single rabies shot and that's considered good enough, but for human rabies PrEP three shots are required?

I've never heard anyone say that dogs need a booster shot after being in a fight or bitten by a wild animal, but even if you have rabies PrEP, and it's been less than two years, humans are supposed to get two booster shots if they are bitten by a suspected rabid animal. Maybe dogs are supposed to get booster shots after fighting or being bitten by a wild animal and I never got the memo?
