May be a dumb question, but do stars of the same mass also have the same volume?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 07:52 AM PDT

Given that stars are mostly made of the same stuff (hydrogen and helium) and gravity is only dependent on mass, I figured equal stellar masses would have similar densities.

Can a bone marrow transplant transmit leukemia?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 07:50 AM PDT

I understand that a bone marrow transplant is a common treatment for leukemia.

I also understand that there is screening for any issues with the donor tissue.

For the purpose of this question, if a person who is getting a bone marrow transplant for a non-cancer related issue (such as aplastic anemia), could this transmit leukemia from the donor to the recipient?

How do mammals deal with placenta and the umbilical cord?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 05:25 AM PDT

With humans, if the placenta is left in the woman it can cause harm so it is removed. However, animals can't do this.

Similarly, whilst not life-threatening, the umbilical cord can still be a danger if left unattended.

Can different water types increase how wrinkly your hands get after a bath?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:00 AM PDT

Coming for summer break back home, I noticed my hands got super wrinkly after a 20' bath, something that doesn't happen as fast and intense at school. Now I'm guessing water isn't wetter than in the Netherlands, but something surely is different.

Can it be from different substances in the water treatment? If so, which ones? If not, why?

Radio, X-rays, and visible light are different wavelengths on the same EM spectrum. Could a modified chlorophyll molecule perform photosynthesis from a radio source instead of visible light?

Brood parasitism in wasps?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 07:56 AM PDT

There's a ton of brood parasites in solitary bees, it's been estimated to have 15 origins. But in apiod wasps it's only developed twice in the Crabronidae family. Why is there such a huge discrepancy between the two when they are so closely related?

What is the difference between the old idea of an electromagnetic ether and the theory of quantum fields?

Posted: 08 Jul 2022 07:26 AM PDT

Is the idea of an ether resurgent now that quantum studies argue for quantum fields? Are they at all similar?
