| Posted: 12 Jan 2018 04:50 AM PST Is the battery simultaneously being charged and discharged or is it bypassed when plugged in to a charger? Does using the phone while plugged in extend overall battery life? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 11:48 PM PST I read about relatively recent findings that the space between galaxies may actually hold a lot of our universe's baryonic matter. I also vaguely understand that the left-hand side of the Friedman equation is cited as reasoning behind the theory that the universe is infinitely expanding, with the amount of matter available being insufficient to stop it. If there really is baryonic matter in-between galaxies, is its presence, and subsequent mass, enough to allow the possibility of an eventually static universe? [link] [comments]  |
| What does a surgeon do to reform bone after a surgery? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:59 PM PST I'm thinking of brain surgery where a surgeon will have to actually cut through the skull to work with the brain. After the surgery is complete how to they put the skull back together? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Jan 2018 02:20 AM PST According to wikipedia, domestic dog is synonymous with Canis lupus familiaris, a subspecies of Canis lupus which is synonymous with gray wolf, meaning all domestic dogs are members of the species Canis lupus meaning they are gray wolves. This sounds pretty strange to me and probably any layman, but the lead-in to the gray wolf article just makes it sound like they're talking about what I would know as wolves, and the "taxonomy and evolution" subsection - though I only skimmed it - treats dogs and gray wolves as separate categories at several points, rather than one as a subcategory of the other. (The gray wolf article doesn't specify 'domestic' but it hyperlinks to the article 'Dog' which appears to be exclusively about the domestic dog.) There's also a "Comparison with wolves" section, which says "there are a number of diagnostic features to distinguish the gray wolves from domestic dogs". What's going on here? Is wikipedia just being sloppy or is the terminology sloppily applied in the literature too, or am I just misunderstanding something? [link] [comments]  |
| At what time of sleep do we really dream? Posted: 12 Jan 2018 12:16 AM PST Googling pretty much tries to tell me that dreams happen during "REM phase" which is "stage five" after falling asleep, which supposedly is supposed to happen only after being asleep for quite some time. Now I dont know if this is just me, but if I drowze off for just 10 seconds to few minutes, I almost always wake up with a clear memory of a vivid dream. And I wouldnt classify these just as hallucinations. I could be sitting in classroom and close my eyes for just a few seconds, and suddently im an admiral commanding a fleet in the pacific. Then I wake up for 20 seconds, and fall asleep back to a compleatly different dream. If im not sleepy, nothing like this ever happens. And if I take a 10minute nap during the day, I always wake up from a dream. [link] [comments]  |
| Shouldn't most stars have multiple planets form around them? Posted: 12 Jan 2018 06:37 AM PST Due to how we know stars are formed, shouldn't the vast majority of dust rings eventually become planets as particles combine and eventually clear their ellipses? I know that we can only see ones that have the right profile to allow us to see the planets transit across the star or that have planets large enough to currently see. But how common would a planet-less "system" even be given what we know? I asked this previously but received no reply. This will be my final attempt to learn the answer here. Last time was under an astronomy flair, here goes a planetary science flair. [link] [comments]  |

| What physical properties make Iron, Cobalt and Nickel ferromagnetic? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:00 PM PST I'm currently studying magnetism and I was curious about the things that make a material "more magnetic" than others. For example, Gold doesn't let magnetic fields through as well as Aluminum (one is diamagnetic and the other is paramagnetic if I'm not mistaken). What properties establish this differences?

| Can someone explain the equation on this conditioner? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:00 PM PST It looks like: E = -mu(vector) • B(vector) I can't figure out what this is but desperately want to understand the humor of the conditioner bottle. Any ideas? [link] [comments]  |
| Why does decoherence produce probabilistic outcomes? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 11:56 PM PST I am reading the book The Fabric of The Cosmos, and Brian Greene explains that when the wavefunctions of a large number of particles interact with a small particle, the wavefunction of the small particle transforms into a sharp spike. What I don't understand is that, since Schrödinger's equation is totally deterministic, shouldn't the result be deterministic as well? Why would we have probabilities of finding the spikes in different locations? I think he must have missed some important details in the book. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| How does fatigue affect eyesight? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 04:34 PM PST Some days when I really feel tired I also notice that I can barely see clearly, and I'm forced to wear my glasses. But other days when I get a good night's sleep and I feel awake and energetic the next day, I have no problem seeing clearly and don't feel like I'm straining or squinting my eyes. How is this so?

| Does the danger of nuclear waste increase with the addition of more nuclear waste? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:58 PM PST For example, if you have some waste (spent fuel rods or whatever) from a nuclear reactor and they have a danger zone of say 1 mile. If you keep on piling up more rods, does the danger zone increase? [link] [comments]  |
| How do the organs of people who are paralyzed from a spinal injury continue to function? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:37 PM PST I recently watched a documentary about a man who was paralyzed from the neck down due to a spinal injury. His muscles were obviously paralyzed but I couldn't help but wonder how his heart, his lungs, and all his other internal organs continued to function with a spinal injury? [link] [comments]  |
