| What have been the implications/significance of finding the Higgs Boson particle? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 04:04 PM PDT There was so much hype about the "god particle" a few years ago. What have been the results of the find? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 23 Sep 2017 03:39 AM PDT Say you have a tube in the shape of a T, where there is an opening on the left and right, but the bottom part is closed off. We have wind going into the right tube and exiting the left tube, or vice versa, but no wind is entering or exiting the bottom tube, because it's a dead-end. Does the wind in the vertical tube get blown around randomly from the residual wind that doesn't go straight from the entrance to the exit? Or is the wind mostly still because there's no path for the wind to take outside? Does the pressure become higher or lower in the dead-end path? Does it become windier or less windy? And, of course, why does this happen? Is there a place to learn more about this type of behavior in other types of tubes, like an X-shape where two paths are dead-ends, etc? EDIT: Also, does the behavior change at all if, for example, the dead-end becomes the left or right side instead, such that the wind's path is no longer straight, but requires a right-angle turn?

| Is there a maximum size for a raindrop? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 09:49 AM PDT My 9yo joked about a really big raindrop and asked me what I thought about that. When i thought about it, I didn't had the answer to a maximum raindrop size. [link] [comments]  |

| How real is the threat of human extinction by gamma ray bursts? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 07:31 PM PDT Recently watched this video https://youtu.be/qqw41X3tai0 and now I'm terrified, should I be terrified or am I overreacting? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2017 09:45 AM PDT I noticed that I had an easy time reading in one language and listening to a talk show in another language while being able to focus on both things, but this was harder when I tried to do the same with the same language. This lead me to ask the stated question, as this seems to be only explainable via a model where languages are not simply additive (by this I mean there exists a model of something in you brain, like a chair, and the word for chair in the language you are learning is simply another reference added onto the list of words that refer to chair, like what we do within a language when we learn of synonyms). I put "separate" in quotations because I do not literally mean a new brain part, but something along the lines of a separate disassociated network. [link] [comments]  |

| Why does the spin of a Black Hole affect how it looks? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 10:16 AM PDT I was reading another post on here about black holes and Interstellar, and stumbled on this article. There is a difference between how a non-spinning black hole looks and how a spinning black hole looks. No matter whether it's spinning, the black hole still has the same density and gravity right? If so, how come it bends the light differently in both instances? [link] [comments]  |

| Assuming that Moon used to be part of the Earth, what made it so different? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 09:31 AM PDT I know that there is not fully accepted hypothesis on how Moon originated, but it seems like the theory of Moon forming after a major body impacted Earth is the leading theory. So if we assume that this theory is true, what caused Moon to be so different to Earth? I am mainly talking about much higher albedo that allows Moon to reflect sunlight. [link] [comments]  |

| Can characteristics of same plant species vary from one place of growing to another? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 07:25 AM PDT I'm just reading about some plant healing effects, how it's less effective if it was grown in Europe instead of Egypt, and I find this absurd. [link] [comments]  |
| Where does the energy released during nuclear fusion come from? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 10:43 AM PDT Nuclear fusion is a process of nuclei being fused together to form heavier elements, which releases massive amounts of energy. What I'm wondering is whether this energy is present in those nuclei, and fusing them just releases it, or whether energy released at fusion comes from the energy used to fused those nuclei? On a related note, how likely it is that nuclear fusion reactors on Earth are even possible, seeing how stars fuse nuclei through gravitational pressure, something that we can't exactly replicate on earth?

| Is it possible to make artificial cells such as cones or nerve cells? Posted: 22 Sep 2017 08:31 AM PDT So I'm only a sophomore in college but I have a strong interest in neuro-ophthalmology and I was wondering if nerve cells and other cells such as cones in your eyes can be artificially made. I understand stem cells are a possible way to regenerate but is there a way to artificially create those types of cells given the knowledge of biology and chemistry? [link] [comments]  |
