| Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Posted: 03 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology 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! [link] [comments]  |
| Where is the dark matter in our solar system? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:24 PM PDT I'm reading this book on astrophysics where they explain how we discovered the presence of an unknown dark matter in distant galaxies. Planets are revolving around stars in a speed much higher than their apparent escape velocity and yet they're bound to orbit that star. Same is the case with smaller galaxies revolving around the bigger ones. So, the remaining mass that is holding those bodies in orbit is coming from something unknown we call dark matter. But, what about the same scenario inside our solar system? Newtonian laws seems to be working fine between earth and sun and we're probably sure that earth would have either escaped or collapsed within sun if we change the speed of revolution. Why there's no similar undiscovered mass or energy holding nearby planets and earth around sun where one of them might have been detected moving at speeds higher than escape velocity and yet managing to stay within a stable orbit due to that same unknown dark matter scientists claim to be everywhere? P.s: I'm no expert in this field and not sure if I was able to quote my query properly. Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |

| Do doctors learn and\or use cauterization in these modern times? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 10:19 PM PDT Other than a scar and risk of infection, what are the downsides of this strategy? And is it a valid medical procedure? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Nov 2021 09:42 AM PDT UV light travels through more skin than visible for example but not through glass. doesn't make sense to me. Is there a nice list of which em waves penetrate which matter? [link] [comments]  |
| Can a hand grenade detonate underwater? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 10:32 AM PDT Say you pull the pin, release the spoon, and toss a grenade into a pool full of water. It seems like the water would put the fuse out. Is that true? If not, why? Is the fuse self-contained or will it burn while wet? I tried looking into how grenade fuses work, but google isn't much help on this subject. [link] [comments]  |
