If a fully vaccinated person is unequivocally exposed to covid but never develops symptoms, is their immune response now greater for having fought off the virus, or reduced for having had to wage war on it?

As the title states. Trying to discover if there's a boost to the body's immune response or if the immune response is depressed each time it fights off the virus.

What is the *chemical* structure of depleted uranium?

Posted: 06 Jul 2022 11:32 PM PDT

For instance, see this picture of a 30-millimeter depleted uranium armor penetrator, which I shamelessly stole from the Wikipedia page on depleted uranium.

What's the chemical structure of the uranium compound used in that round?

I know depleted uranium has less uranium-235 than natural uranium, since said U-235 has been refined out and used in a nuclear reactor or weapon, but I don't know what all the uranium-238 left over has bonded to. Is it an oxide? A carbide? Pure uranium metal? An alloy of pure uranium metal mixed with something else?

Can the rabies vaccine give you rabies?

Can a vaccine made from inactivated virus, like the rabies vaccine, accidentally contain active virus?

Are viruses more prevalent in wild animals and how come our hunter gatherer ancestors dont suffer from great plague all the time?

Why are "other" intensities so low in compton scattering curve?

Posted: 06 Jul 2022 12:17 PM PDT

If we look at the intensity vs wavelength graph in compton scattering experiment...,we see two peaks, one due to scattering from free electrons and the other due to scattering from tightly bound electrons.

But that doesn't make the intensities at other wavelengths zero... They are there, non zero but small... I suspect they appear due to scattering from no so tightly bounded electrons.

But my question is why should they be so low? Like why is the concentration of free electron scattering and tight electron scattering so high compared to the rest(the no so tight electron scattering)...?

How were we able to eradicate some diseases, with vaccines, and not others?

Posted: 06 Jul 2022 12:20 PM PDT

The way I understand it, vaccines use a dead, or weakened, virus. Some vaccines use only parts of a virus (or bacteria). And in the case of the Covid vaccines, they use mRNA technology.

Now, the way I understand it, once this is introduced into the body, the immune system reacts and neutralizes the antigen. So, when the antigen enters the body a second time, the immune system reacts much quicker. I also understand that microbes can mutate, which has an effect on the vaccine's potency. This is why we have to get a flu shot every year, because the virus mutates.

However, in the cases of Smallpox and Polio, we have managed to eradicate these diseases by way of vaccines. So, my question is it possible that, with vaccines, we were able to eliminate some diseases with vaccines, but not others? Did these other viruses just not have a chance to mutate? How would we get to the point where we don't let the flu or Covid to mutate?

Please no "Big Pharma" conspiracies. I just want to know people's thoughts from a scientific standpoint. Thanks.

how do scientists observe what's happening inside the LHC?

Posted: 05 Jul 2022 11:13 PM PDT

With the recent discovery of tetraquarks and pentaquarks at CERN, how are scientists able to "see" what's happening inside the collider? Is it a bunch of data that's analyzed and an inference is made? And what instruments detect what's happening?
