| Posted: 03 May 2017 03:19 AM PDT The water moves up the napkin and eventually soaks it upwards, what is making the water and moisture move upwards? Where does the energy lifting the water up come from given energy cannot be created or destroyed? Might be a dumb question, but it's bugging me. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 May 2017 06:09 PM PDT I realise that the effect of centripetal force is incredibly minor, but is it a smaller effect than the change in gravity between those two places? [link] [comments]  |

| Are all the planets in our Solar System rotating around the sun on the same level (plane)? Posted: 02 May 2017 04:48 PM PDT All pictures show the planets on the same level or plane. Is that true or is it simplified for the general public? Or do the planets circle the sun with each planets orbit following it's own path? If they do orbit the sun on the same level is that because the sun causes them to rotate along a certain axis? Sorry if it's been explained before but I couldn't find the answer to my actual question(s). Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| How do black holes get larger? Posted: 02 May 2017 09:01 AM PDT When an object moves towards the event horizon of a black hole, it experiences increasing time dilation from our perspective. If it takes an infinite amount of time for matter to "cross" the event horizon then how can a black hole grow in size in any meaningful time period? Wouldn't all the new matter just run into the old matter outside the event horizon as it hits slower and slower time "areas"? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2017 03:22 PM PDT As well as this, how is osteoporosis induced from microgravity treated differently to other types of osteoporosis? [link] [comments]  |

| If salt is dehydrating, how is it used in sports drinks to keep you hydrated? Posted: 02 May 2017 12:35 PM PDT I understand salt helps retain water, but then why do they say that eating salt is bad for dehydration? [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any animals that are known to celebrate events? Posted: 02 May 2017 12:32 PM PDT Humans celebrate all sorts of things, from events like birthdays to achievements like getting a raise or winning a game. We typically perform some sort of celebration that involves other humans. Are there any animals which do similar things and if so, which ones and why? [link] [comments]  |

| Can frequent use of Benzodiazepines such as Xanax cause permanent brain damage? Posted: 02 May 2017 03:23 PM PDT I recently came across this study, which indicates that frequent use of Benzodiazepines can result in "permanent [cognitive] deficits or deficits that take longer than 6 months to completely recover." Another study, however, found that patients who have ceased Benzodiazepine intake have eventually restored cognitive function after several years. I'd like to know if there have been more conclusive studies done on this subject or if there are any experts here that could shed light on whether a frequent user of Benzodiazepines can eventually restore their former cognitive function. Side note: I am asking this as a former user of Xanax. Although I personally have not noticed any cognitive impairments as a result of the taking the drug, I've come across many patients who have complained about impaired memory. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any wildlife unique only to North Korea? Posted: 02 May 2017 10:44 AM PDT Given that North Korea is the most isolated country in the world, and has a large area it stretches on, are there any forms of life unique to North Korea? If so, is there any collaboration between North Korean biologists and biologists from other countries? [link] [comments]  |

| How do AC to DC adapters work? Posted: 02 May 2017 10:15 PM PDT I've been studying AC transformers in my class, and it got me thinking about adapters used for phones, laptops, etc. I know the principle of transformers don't work with DC and the adapters have something to do with diodes. Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2017 11:21 AM PDT Hello everyone, I'm a biologist with a specialization in aquaculture. After a conversation with an entrepreneur in the field, I've been researching eDNA as a possible detector for unwanted organisms close to fish farming sites. From what I've read (skimmed through a couple of articles) it should be possible to detect the presence of a specific organism in the water column, but what I'm trying to figure out is if its possible to measure the actual level of this unwanted organism in the water column. Though I'd ask here before I waste my time doing research in the blind. [link] [comments]  |
