| What is the inside of a nebula like? Posted: 24 Mar 2018 05:05 AM PDT In most science fiction I've seen nebulas are like storm clouds with constant ion storms. How accurate is this? Would being inside a nebula look like you're inside a storm cloud and would a ship be able to go through it or would their systems be irreparably damaged and the ship become stranded there?

| Posted: 24 Mar 2018 04:16 AM PDT Can chimpanzee babies be adapted by bonobos, and vice versa? If so, will the regular chimpanzee baby be more peaceful, adapt to a more matriarchal society of bonobo monkeys? Will the bonobo chimpanzee raised by regular chimps be more aggressive? (I am assuming that chimps are more violent, but correct me if I am wrong). [link] [comments]  |
| Why are volcanic lightning sometimes red? Posted: 24 Mar 2018 04:20 AM PDT I just watched some videos and often theyre normal blue but in some videos the lightnings are red like in movies or something. Why does that happen? [link] [comments]  |
| iss stil orbits inside the atmosphere? Posted: 24 Mar 2018 02:33 AM PDT this information could be wrong but the iss orbits at circa 400 Km while the earths atomosphere continues to 480 km, does the iss compensate for the atmospheric drag in some way or is there just so little air up there that it doesnt really matter? sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Mar 2018 04:07 AM PDT I am a little bit confused about how smooth muscle cells are stimulated by the release of neurotransmitters. I know that in skeletal muscle, Ach binds to receptors on the sarcolemma causing sodium ion channels to open generating an action potential. This action potential then travels down the T-tubules and thus trigger the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. How does the release of neutrotransmitter from the varicosities cause the ultimate opening of calcium ion channels in the smooth muscle cell? [link] [comments]  |
| In space with no gravity, which way do plant roots grow? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 09:52 AM PDT Okay I remember from high school that if you plant a seed in dirt, the seed automatically knows which way to direct its roots due to gravity. But imagine a scenario similar to the movie Walle where we are traveling through space in the middle of the galaxy without any local planets or stars influencing our ship. If we stuck a seed into a dirt container in our ship, would the roots branch out randomly, or point towards the nearest system? Another question if we were in one of those spinning cylindrical colonies (similar to the ones in gundam) in space that simulates gravity. Gravity is the attraction of mass, but could the seed tell that this centripetal force isn't really gravity? Or would it be tricked to thinking it is gravity and still plant it's roots outward of this spinning colony. Follow up extremely hypothetical question assuming the seed roots do grow normally in a spinning colony: if we planted a seed here on earth, but made a small device that spun the dirt and seed in a circle (similar to the colony in space), but the force acting on the seed was greater than earths gravity, would the roots point outward in our little device or still down towards gravity?

| How does the captcha "I am not a robot" work? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 09:24 PM PDT Couldn't you just make a robot that ticks the box if it encounters one? [link] [comments]  |
| Do all electrons form Cooper pairs in superconductors? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 11:58 AM PDT And if they don't, what percentage doesn't? Does it depend on the material or the temperature? I haven't been able to find these answers online or in my textbooks. Searching tips would also be very welcome :) [link] [comments]  |
| Applying the duet/octet rule, why is carbon monoxide stable? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 11:06 PM PDT Since Oxygen only needs 2 electrons on the M layer and Carbon needs 4; how is a C≡O triple bond stable? [link] [comments]  |

| How does preservation of bodies work(cadavers, animals for study, etc)? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 05:04 PM PDT Besides the use of formaldehyde I don't know what happens. How does this chemical 'preserve' things, are other things involved, when/is there a time limit before the body continues decomposition? Obviously there's other methods people used to use and other methods in general, and the misfortune some have in extreme conditions like freezing cold or swampy areas, I just often study near this particular chemical when dissecting.

| What is the timeline/path for new medical treatments from first reports to human trials? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 06:42 AM PDT I have read for so long now about CRISPR and extending telomeres both as possible treatments for many conditions including muscular dystrophy. In this age, I know early studies turn into sensationalized news rapidly. However, what is the realistic timeline or path these concepts take until we see human trials and/or applications?

| Why does frost form patterns on its own? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 11:29 AM PDT For example when you see frost on a car window its rarely even and it has all kinds of lines that aren't surrounded by frost etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Does all Black Holes have the same density? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 12:58 PM PDT I realize they do not have the same mass, but is the density believed to be the same? [link] [comments]  |
| Huge crack appears in Africa. Why? Posted: 23 Mar 2018 06:55 AM PDT A huge crack has appeared in Africa and could be the continent beginning to split in two. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-43501954/huge-crack-opens-in-kenya-s-rift-valley This is pretty crazy that suddenly land can just rip apart like this on a large scale. I understand it happening overtime with earthquakes and I understand when it involves ice. But this just seems crazy. Has anything like this happened over the past several hundred years or is this a first in thousands of years? What could be the cause other than heavy rain mixed with there being a fault? Can this happen anywhere or only where there is a fault line? Could a new fault line occur in a new part of the world and if so how quickly as this crack appeared almost instantly?
