- What happens to sea life during a hurricane?
- If it were possible to put a pipe straight through the earth, from north to south pole and you dropped a ball down the pipe what would happen?
- If a person is paralyzed from the neck down, does that paralyzed body still react to temperature changes? Sweat and goosebumps?
- Does the Transit method limit our ability to detect planets further out from their star?
- What does it actually mean for a hurricane to make landfall? What are the criteria?
- Is there something equivalent to hurricanes but underwater?
- Because light has momentum, can it move an object with a defined mass?
- If we could somehow build a "space elevator" as depicted in sci-fi, would the piece at the top up in orbit have "Earth Gravity" or would it be similar to what one would experience on the ISS in terms of weightlessness?
- Why did it take humans so long to advance technologically?
- Can an MRI cause problems with metal objects in someone's body if the object is not ferromagnetic (eg a copper/lead bullet, gold tooth, titanium implant)?
- How fast do you have to travel around the equator to always be experiencing the same time of day?
- How did Maxwell connect the link from 'Electromagnetic Waves' to 'Visible Light'?
- Uluru is listed as the worlds largest rock. Is it truly an “individual stone” or is it attached to bed rock? How was it formed?
- Why is the East Coast of the USA so hurricane prone? Is the region more active than other areas of the world?
- Does high cortisol in the body, or a stronger than average cortisol response to external stressors, equate to a person being generally more stressed out? In other words, stress 'causes' cortisol, but does cortisol cause stress?
- [Telomere length and Longevity] Since our eggs and sperms create new full length Telomeres, why not our own?
- How did the world function before bees joined the game? How and when did the environment become so depended on them?
- Why is there a slight drop in the middle of high tide?
- Do we currently have the ability to create pairs of entangled particles? Could we ever use this ability to create entangled pairs that exist here on earth and on the other side of the known universe? How stable would these pairs be? Could we ever use them to construct physical matter or objects?

| Does the Transit method limit our ability to detect planets further out from their star? Posted: 14 Sep 2018 03:24 AM PDT I understand that the Transit method is the best current way to find exoplanets, but I was just thinking about how a planet like Jupiter takes 12 earth years for one Jupiter year, would that mean that we'd probably be completely unaware of the largest planet in the solar system (and gas giant with the shortest year) even if we've been examining it's star closely for a whole decade? Following on from that, could that mean that we've got an extremely skewed perception of the makeup extra-solar systems? Maybe systems more like the solar system are common with large planets on the outskirts but we can't really see that with the transit method? [link] [comments]  |

| Why did it take humans so long to advance technologically? Posted: 14 Sep 2018 03:15 AM PDT Modern humans have been around for at least 40,000 years (some sources say 300,000), yet the first somewhat advanced civilizations came into existence around 3000 BC. If the humans living 40,000 years ago were just as intelligent as we are now, then why did it take humans at least over 30,000 years to organize societies like the Mesopotamian civilization where they used alphabet, built sophisticated buildings, roads and weaponry. It's kind of strange don't you think? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2018 07:49 AM PDT This comes from a recent askreddit question where we were wondering if an MRI could harm a patient who had an old bullet fragment still lodged in their body, but it kind of also applies to other non-magnetic objects. I was wondering if you'd get induced current, and if those in turn could get you enough of a magnetic field to produce motion, kind of like you would see in a universal AC motor. I have no idea what sort of magnitudes are involved, though, so I don't know how significant the effect is. [link] [comments]  |

| How did Maxwell connect the link from 'Electromagnetic Waves' to 'Visible Light'? Posted: 14 Sep 2018 07:28 AM PDT It looked like Maxwell, after consolidating e-m theory into the Maxwell Equations and predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves made a blind leap to say "The speed of electromagnetic waves is close enough to the estimated speed of light, so obviously light is a electromagnetic wave." I'm not sure if this was the right reasoning, but a quick wiki search shows,
This reasoning sounds a bit illogical and seems to be bordering on numerology. Following this line of reasoning it sounds like if an airplane was moving at 330 m/s, I would call that airplane sound, simply because it was moving as fast as sound. There has to be something more about this than what Wikipedia lets on, right? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 13 Sep 2018 02:14 PM PDT We know that external stressors and/or stress generally result in a statistically significant cortisol response. Has the opposite connection been shown to hold statistical significance? In other words, stress 'causes' cortisol, but does cortisol cause stress? I'm asking this because I've come across studies in the past about this and general comparisons of stress in urban and rural populations. For example, I quickly found this study published in May of 2018 comparing rural and urban upbringings. I'm not well-versed enough to know whether this or other studies on cortisol and cortisol responses directly claim or show that more cortisol equals more stress. [link] [comments]  |

P.S. Not a science person(Wish I was, got a useless art degree instead) but got me extremely curious [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2018 05:59 AM PDT Sorry if for whatever reason this question doesn't work. I (think I) know we need them for pollination, and from what understand there were different oxygen levels when the giant lizards were crawling around. After that it's all fuzzy, how'd we come to have our survival seem to depend on theirs? Or am I BEEing silly? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is there a slight drop in the middle of high tide? Posted: 13 Sep 2018 04:27 PM PDT I collect data on water levels and every water sensor has a slight dip during high tide. What is the cause of this? Example: http://imgur.com/gallery/uFc7nwx [link] [comments]  |

| Why has rocket power not been used on planes? Posted: 14 Sep 2018 12:57 AM PDT We have guided missiles which travel quickly and accurately... would need some course corrections for g reduction, but I don't see why it isn't feasible. [link] [comments]  |
| Can brown dwarfs ever “re-form” into stars? Posted: 13 Sep 2018 04:25 PM PDT I've been reading about the interesting conspiracy on Nibiru, and the one argument many people make is that there is a "hidden sun" in the solar system called Nibiru, which is a brown dwarf. Now I'm aware that most pictures showing Nibiru are either just lens flares or some other explainable idea, because brown dwarfs don't emit light. But can brown dwarfs ever "re-form" into actual stars? Is there ever a period in time where the brown dwarf either forms into dust again and have a potential to become stars, for example? And if not, why? Mind you, I don't follow the Nibiru conspiracy, so I'm not looking to debate on it. I'd just like an answer to my question. [link] [comments]  |
