- Why does a can of compressed air get ice cold when used?
- I learned from 'Green Planet' that many plants secrete 'defensive compounds' when attacked by herbivores, or even when 'warned' by neighbouring plants that herbivorous insects are attacking. But why do plants need to wait until they are attacked to accumulate these toxins in the leaves?
- Is flooring the gas pedal fastest you can accelerate (manual transmission)?
- How does human brain differentiate timbres of sounds?
- Difference between a Covid variant and Subvariant?
- Is it possible that there are heavier leptons than the Tau particle?

| Is flooring the gas pedal fastest you can accelerate (manual transmission)? Posted: 07 Mar 2022 01:04 PM PST I remembered that a while ago I saw a video about how NOS works. Basically it just allows fuel to burn more effectively by providing extra oxygen for ignition in cylinders. It raised a question in me:In regular gas engined vehicles the gas pedal increases flow of fuel to cylinders. Optimal ignition requires exact proportions of fuel and air (oxygen source). Could there be a threshold where pushing pedal injects so much fuel that it starts to take up so much space that could be used for air that in result it decreases power output? Is there any truth to my thoughts? Are there any mechanisms that prevent this? Edit: Just to clarify I'm thinking of accelerating when vehicle is already moving no from a full stop [link] [comments] |
| How does human brain differentiate timbres of sounds? Posted: 07 Mar 2022 11:02 AM PST Consider a speaker, all they do is produce waves that correspond to whatever you are listening to. Our brain is the thing that decomposes this complex wave into different parts and enable us to percieve multiple timbres. Do we know how this works? I guess we have a biological Fourier transformator inside ourselves. [link] [comments] |
| Difference between a Covid variant and Subvariant? Posted: 07 Mar 2022 11:08 AM PST Any viroligists who can help me understand? Like there is the Delta and Omicron variant, but also there are subvariants of each. [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible that there are heavier leptons than the Tau particle? Posted: 06 Mar 2022 09:15 PM PST The Tau particle is the heaviest lepton discovered, but is it theoretically possible that there might be heavier generations of leptons? Like, do our current theories predict that heavier generations of leptons are prohibited or is it just likely that we've never observed heavier leptons because of the high energies and fast decay times that they'd likely have?
