| How do you optimally place two or more Hot Pockets in a Microwave? Posted: 11 Nov 2016 04:30 AM PST Not joking. Given two or more Hot Pockets, what is the optimal configuration to insure they all get cooked evenly? [link] [comments]  |
| How stable are USB thumbdrives for long-term storage? Posted: 11 Nov 2016 07:10 AM PST If I get a high-quality USB thumbdrive and put some files on it, will they still be there if I don't touch the drive for 5-10 years? Does the memory lose charge over time and eventually corrupt data? Should I plug it in to refresh the data every few months? [link] [comments]  |
| Can we stand on both the ceiling and the floor of a ring shaped space station? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 08:47 PM PST If there were a space station in outer space where it has a ring that spins around to create gravity (like the ones in the movie The Martian or ones from the game Elite Dangerous) would it be possible to stand on both the ceiling and the floor due to the centripetal and centrifugal forces?

| Posted: 10 Nov 2016 05:05 PM PST Is it to do with the amount of electrons on the outer shell? Because that would make sense as to why it's always helium. Just curious. [link] [comments]  |
| How does music recognition/identification software work? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 09:03 PM PST I am curious of how music recognition apps, such as Shazam and Grooveshark, work. If someone could shed some light on the process that they go through from when they hear a song, up until the point where they determine what song is playing. Thank-You. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Nov 2016 07:42 AM PST Does a strong permanent magnetic such as a large rare earth magnetic have a strong enough magnetic field that moving it close to a processor would damage it? Alternatively could a large magnet near a cpu cause errors during its operation? [link] [comments]  |
| How close can an object be to a black hole when orbiting it, without eventually getting sucked in? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 08:54 PM PST Assuming a black hole is a singularity, under classical mechanics, an object can get arbitrarily close to the black hole and still remain in stable orbit, provided it is traveling fast enough. What exactly breaks down at large scales? Does the necessary orbital velocity reach the speed of light past the event horizon? What would it be like to be on a planet currently orbiting near a black hole, according to special relativity? Also, does general relativity cause the orbiting object to lose momentum, in some way, from its own gravitational effects? (Forgive me, I don't know anything about general relativity) [link] [comments]  |
| Can metabolic activity of cells be measured in the used media after the cells have been cultured? Posted: 11 Nov 2016 04:15 AM PST As far as i am aware the most common ways for testing if cells have been metabolic active is to perform tests on the actual cells themselves. Is there any noticeable or measurable changes in the media after cells have been cultured in them? [link] [comments]  |
| [GEO] What could cause these higher elevation mountains to be the warmest place in New Mexico? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 05:22 PM PST According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Map the warmest spots in New Mexico reach zone 9a (compare to central Florida). These are elevated areas at 6000-7200 feet above sea level--the Las Uvas and Florida mountains, respectively. The surrounding plains of southern New Mexico at 4000 feet above sea level are zones 7b and 8a (compare to Arkansas). What factors are causing these mountains to remain so much warmer than the rest of the state? If a resistance to inversion is to blame, why are those two mountainous areas the only places resistant to it? [link] [comments]  |

| How often are wild animals born nearsighted or farsighted compared to their species norm? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 09:09 PM PST It sure seems like a lot of humans are, so I was wondering if there'd been much study of wild animals (especially primates I suppose). [link] [comments]  |
| [Physics]Does beta decay violate the law of conservation of mass and/or energy? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 02:54 PM PST A proton has a mass of "1" amu, a neutron has a mass of "1" amu, and an electron has a mass of "1/1836" amu. Using these values, beta decay would violate the law of conservation of mass. Where does the mass of the electron come from? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Nov 2016 01:44 PM PST I am trying to research why certain amino acids (serines) are post translationally modified (glycosylated, lipidated, phosphorylated) while the serines in other same terminus are not affected at all. The same goes for glycosylation of asparagine and lipidation of cysteine. The prompt is specific to ADRB1 (adrenergic receptor beta 1). Any response is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2016 12:51 PM PST I was playing with some cards. I wanted to know how many perfect shuffles it takes for cards to go back to order. I then started with a low amount of cards and did more and more. but didn't do more than 14. A perfect shuffle is taking half the cards and then putting one behind the other if i have 4 cards- 1 2 3 4 (works best with even number of cards) i take 1 and 2 and shuffle them. 3 1 4 2 then again till it goes back to order. *why does 14 cards only take 4 shuffles?

| How is the enzyme Lactase produced within a cell? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 07:36 PM PST I tried researching it a bit but couldn't find a good source of information. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2016 03:40 PM PST For example, if I focus on studying electrical engineering as a hobby for five years, then switch to studying chess for the next year, will I "lose" my skill at electrical engineering? Or will my brain retain everything I have studied in both areas? Does studying more topics as hobbies simply help your brain become more well rounded? Or do you only have a finite amount of brain power (seems likely unfortunately) and in your day to day life you must choose how to allocate your brain's limited resources? I feel like this is crucial question for all of academia in general. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| What difference does it make whether time is discrete or continuous? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 09:09 AM PST I'm very curious on whether it is but wonder what the ramifications would be. [link] [comments]  |
| How is this a Taylor expansion? Where does the integral come from? Posted: 10 Nov 2016 09:30 AM PST I found this in a paper. phi is some function, and phi_j is the value of phi at some point x_j. x is a 3d cartesian coordinate. D represents a derivative. I get the first bit - it's the first order taylor expansion, it's just a form of y(x+h)~hy(x)dy/dx. The second term looks vaguely like what I'd expect - it's got a second order derivative, and a (1/2) term in there. But for some reason there's an integral over a new variable s in there? It's not mentioned any time before in the paper - it's apparently assumed the reader recognises that this is part of a Taylor expansion. Any idea what's going on here? [link] [comments]  |
