Could a generated magnetic field protect a spacecraft and astronauts from charged particles and em radiation? Posted: 08 Nov 2017 04:42 AM PST From my understanding, solar wind and cosmic rays are bombarding Earth constantly and are being deflected in part by the atmosphere and partially by Earth's magnetic field. Can this sort of shielding be replicated and how much energy would be required to produce a magnetic field capable of radiation shielding. submitted by /u/KillbotVI [link] [comments]

People always say that subatomic particles are just excitations of a field. But won't those excitations eventually lose their energy and disappear? Posted: 08 Nov 2017 12:29 AM PST I understand that people think that all our subatomic particles come from fields such as the electron field. They also say they are just excitations of the field but wouldn't that mean that after a period of time they lose their energy and fade back into their field? If so then how come we have never seen something like this happen? Also about the fields in general, where are the fields? How have we postulated that they are there? Are they higher dimensions? When were they created? Where do they get their energy to get excited and create these particles? Sorry about all the questions! Thanks so much in advance for the answers you may have :) submitted by /u/JackTalle [link] [comments]

Do we know why the speed of light is what it is, or just that it must be what it is? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 04:18 PM PST I spent the day trying to find a nice answer to the why, which lead me on a nice journey into zero-point energy and the possibility that quantum vacuum might be the origin of the speed of light, but didn't really get a nice answer. submitted by /u/Rodbourn [link] [comments]

What determines how electrons return to the ground state after they are excited? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 06:15 PM PST If all excited electrons must return to the ground state, then what determines if they do this in one continuous drop or several discrete ones? Using hydrogen at as the example, what determines whether an electron at, say, n=6 returns to n=1 as part of the Lyman series, or to n=2, exiting visible light, and then separately n=1, releasing ultraviolet light. submitted by /u/PantheonYan [link] [comments]

What makes Cancer so difficult to find a cure for? How far have we gotten and how far have we yet to go to find one? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 01:31 PM PST In the spirit of No-Shave-November, I want to become more aware of the science behind why cancer is so difficult to find a solution for and where we have gotten in the past few years. Each day, 22,000 people die from cancer worldwide and I think its absolutely terrible and hope we get a cure soon. submitted by /u/Wilc0x21 [link] [comments]

Why is the Higgs needed for atoms and stars to exist? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 11:56 AM PST I read "This symmetry breaking is required for atoms and other structures to form, as well as for nuclear reactions in stars, such as our Sun." on the Higgs wiki page. From what I understand the Higgs is the reason that Electromagnetism and the Weak force are two separate forces rather than one Electroweak force. And atoms can't form and combine together into stars while the Electroweak force is around. What about the Electroweak force is stopping atoms? I can't really find any details on what the Electroweak force is like. All I can find is that it has 4 version of the photon called W+, W0, W-, & B. Since they're all massless is the Electroweak force just like Electromagnetism? I also found this hypothetical, that says atoms and star could still exist if there was no Weak force. So is the Higgs like a necessary shackle on the Weak that allows us to exist? submitted by /u/googolplexbyte [link] [comments]

Were the Pyrenees Mountains in Iberia formed by shallow-angle subduction of the European plate? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 11:18 AM PST I learned that the Rocky Mountains in the United States were formed during the Laramide Orogeny when the Kula Plate was subducted at a shallow angle under the North American plate. Could the same phenomenon (shallow-angle subduction) have resulted in the formation of the Pyrenees? submitted by /u/Articulate_Pineapple [link] [comments]

What determines whether an element is a gas, regardless of atomic weight? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 08:27 AM PST Lithium, Beryllium, Carbon, and Boron are all solid (under 'normal' conditions), and yet Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine, as well as all subsequent noble gasses, are gasses, despite having a heavier atomic weight. What about them makes them gasses under average conditions? submitted by /u/Kiwispam84 [link] [comments]

Does a particle have an antiparticle only if it is charged? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 06:12 AM PST Does a particle have an antiparticle only if it is charged? Are the W and W- bosons a particle-antiparticle pair of the same field, or are there two fields? Why do we talk about antineutrino if the neutrino has no charge? Or is it the fermions that have an antiparticle, but in this case why the boson W has its own antiparticle? submitted by /u/monsieurY [link] [comments]

On small, super isolated islands, how does wildlife exist? Posted: 06 Nov 2017 08:36 PM PST I imagine small islands, like less than a square mile, can't support significant wildlife just due to space, resources, etc. But, if there are plants on the island, there would have to be some sort of insect, right? But can there be any major species (lizards, birds, rodents, etc) without the resources to sustain them? And if it is super isolated, would birds even live there? How can there be life on an island so far removed? Even if there are just very simple insects, how did they get there??? I need answers submitted by /u/justbyhappenstance [link] [comments]

How does centimeter accurate GPS work, and how does it differ from what we've had for the past decade? Posted: 06 Nov 2017 04:16 PM PST I know we've had super expensive centimeter accurate GPS for a while, for farming and construction and whatnot, but that costs thousands for equipment and subscription.

［Neuroscience］A recent paper showed weak correlations between hemodynamic signals and neural activity during resting state. Does this mean all the work on the default mode network is invalidated? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 06:13 AM PST Sorry for the long title, but I felt the context was needed. A recent paper by Winder et al. in Nature Neuroscience showed that ongoing neural activity and hemodynamic signals are weakly correlated during resting state in mouse, and that the origin of the hemodynamic signal may not have anything to do with the neural activity. Because the work on the default mode network in humans is mostly based on fMRI studies, does this mean that many, if not most, of this findings are not relevant anymore? Or am I just overinterpreting the situation? If I am, what does this study imply for the future research on the DMN? Thanks! submitted by /u/Akabana01 [link] [comments]

What is the biological process functioning behind refining a motor skill such as throwing accuracy? Could it be enhanced artificially? Posted: 07 Nov 2017 02:37 AM PST I've been playing basketball recently, and my increasing accuracy made me wonder how it takes place in the brain. Is there some kind of feedback process which rewards your shots getting closer to the hoop (like dopamine released due to satisfaction), thus increasing its likelihood? If so, is it theoretically possible to artificially enhance the process? If it's a result of pleasure guiding the unconscious processes of throwing with increasing accuracy, for example, could small external rewards for accuracy (eg, a hit of nicotine or some sugar) increase the speed of improvement? I understand that with basketball, a large part of increasing accuracy is the conscious aspects of improving your form and cementing that into automaticity. But I'm more interested in the unconscious workings. Say it was with a tennis ball instead, where you are not consciously changing your form but still getting more accurate over time - what's behind these unconscious improvements? Hope this all makes sense. submitted by /u/Olympiano [link] [comments]

Why can't we land a probe on this supposed "alien asteroid" that has visited us from outside the solar system? Couldn't we use it to freeload, virtually fuel-free, to the outer reaches of our solar system? And beyond? Posted: 06 Nov 2017 01:30 PM PST Let me add some context. One of SciShow Space's (from YouTube) recent videos was how an asteroid from outside our solar system has been flung away from its native solar system and has found its way into our own... for the time being. Why can't we (carefully) land a probe on it to freeload on it to the outer reaches of our solar system and beyond? Yes, I'm aware doing it would be extremely difficult, given its size and the theoretical planning that would be involved. But would it be theoretically possible to do it? And would we learn anything from being on it? Thanks, r/askscience! submitted by /u/Calif0rnia_Soul [link] [comments]

How fast could a processor reboot a computer if it wasn't held back by other components? Posted: 06 Nov 2017 07:50 PM PST As i understand it, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a computer system is slowed down, or held back (Bottle necked) by the other components of the same system.

Have Tectonic plates slowed down over time? Posted: 06 Nov 2017 03:08 PM PST Given all the friction that tectonic plates undergo when they hit each other, I'd imagine that they must slow down a lot over time.

How do coatings on solar cells increase the efficiency of the solar panel? Posted: 05 Nov 2017 06:28 PM PST If you have a coating with a specific index of refraction and then some sort of silicon cell with another index, how does the efficiency of the solar cell increase? I know that you generate different reflection coefficients, but how does minimizing the reflection coefficient actually increase the energy in the cell? Isn't the energy already being reflected away from the solar cell? submitted by /u/blindedsilver [link] [comments]

Over time, do the wavefunctions of the electrons in our human bodies oscillate (not particle spin, but the actual wavefunction) like standing waves? Posted: 05 Nov 2017 04:09 PM PST I'm visualizing the electrons of atoms that constitute part of our human bodes as wavefunctions that each looks like a 3D cloud of a probability density function. At each spatial-temporal point <x,y,z, t> (I know this signature is somewhat inaccurate) there is an intensity/probability-density associated with observing the particle there. My question is whether the described probability cloud of the electron shell of an atom changes radically from one moment to another? In other words, suppose you take a cross section heatmap-screenshot right through the "center" (mean intensity point of the wavefunction) a time t0, and then take a screenshot of the same cross section with reference to the particle's center (so, it doesn't matter if the human moves slightly) at t1>t0, does the wave function look the same? If no, what is the frequency and what does it depend on? The reason I'm asking is because I remember reading about standing waves in the context of quantum mechanics many years ago and because I also heard the expression time-dependent Schroedinger equation. submitted by /u/Helicobacter [link] [comments]

Solar panels, in layman's terms, absorb sunlight and convert it into usable energy. Does that mean that solar panels can also absorb nuclear energy emitted in a radioactive environment?
