| From a physics standpoint what is information? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 07:20 PM PDT If it is constantly being created it can't have mass right? So is information just instructions that are "coded" onto everything? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the biochemical origin of caffeine dependence? Posted: 23 Jun 2018 07:16 AM PDT There's a joke that if you've been drinking coffee for a long time, when you wake up you'll need a coffee to get you back to the point where you were before you started regularly drinking coffee. But, if you stop for a week or two, your baseline goes back up. What happens to regular coffee drinkers to lower their baseline wakefullness, and is it chiefly neurological or psychological?

| Posted: 22 Jun 2018 06:03 PM PDT Is it just the way our brains interpret it? It seems to me that when you see the wavelength between blue and green, your brain 'displays' this in your mind as a combination of blue and green, whereas when you see the wavelength between red and green, your brain creates an entirely new color (similar to the way that your brain creates purple when you see red and blue simultaneously). I say this because yellow doesn't seem to have any relationship to red and green (or at the least its a weak one), whereas cyan seems to have a strong relationship to blue and gree. Let me know if you disagree, and why. I would also talk about orange but I think orange does have a connection with red, at least a stronger connection than yellow has with either red or green. I flaired this as neuroscience I hope that's correct. edit - to be clear, I am aware that all colors are an illusion created by the brain, my point is that the brain created this illusion in a very different way when it comes to yellow as opposed to cyan as I explained above.

| Posted: 23 Jun 2018 01:17 AM PDT To start, I'm (rightly or wrongly) convinced that I can hear the difference between boiling and cold water being poured into a cup. I also spend a lot of time walking in the city and for the last few weeks it's been pretty warm in the UK. I feel like when the weather is warm (circa 25 degrees and upwards) that the sounds of things like traffic or construction sound different than in the winter. To my ear, it feels softer/warmer but I wondered if this is a real thing I'm observing? Or am I, as my wife believes, talking rubbish? My only thoughts so far is maybe the viscosity changes? But does viscosity apply to air? Edit: typo [link] [comments]  |

| Does the infrared light emitted from the ISS radiators produce measureable thrust? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 11:23 AM PDT Do they have to account for radiator positioning when doing calculations for a stable orbit? [link] [comments]  |
| Are redshift and blueshift noticeable to the human eye? Posted: 23 Jun 2018 07:02 AM PDT Doppler shift in sound is easy to hear when a car or ambulance goes by—but can the car actually change color due to red/blueshift, the light version of Doppler? Is the difference noticeable to our eyes on an everyday scale or even at all? [link] [comments]  |
| Can an entire population become psychologically traumatized? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 05:01 PM PDT For example, after a major conflict like World War II, a terrorist attack like 9/11, or a mass-casualty incident like the Las Vegas shooting, could the entire population of a country or society become psychologically traumatized? Could that population display symptoms of PTSD even if it didn't experience the traumatic event firsthand? If so, does the widespread publication of graphic photos and videos from these events (like 9/11 and the Vegas shooting) facilitate this? [link] [comments]  |

| Is consciousness independent or dependent on sensory input? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 01:38 PM PDT Does our sensory input feed into consciousness (independent), or is consciousness a product of sensory input (dependent)? [link] [comments]  |
| What happens when a very fast-moving atom collides with the human body? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 09:12 AM PDT Since "very fast-moving" is ill-defined, suppose the atom were moving at close to the speed of light, like in particle accelerators. Specifically:

| Are there any animals that can't be albino? Posted: 22 Jun 2018 05:06 PM PDT Are there any animals that can't be albino? Additionally are there any animals (especially mammals) that can be albino but we have never seen an albino version of? Is there a list? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
