| Posted: 17 Nov 2018 01:48 PM PST edit A few things to look up. Thank you for the in depth responses. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2018 01:29 AM PST With FO76 just being launched I've seen some talk about people that would not be able to survive due to radiation poisoning, when they would have to leave the vault after 25 years. How long after a Nuclear detonation would you have to hide in a vault before you could go out and live a relatively long life? And how big a difference would there be between Little Boy and Tsar Bomba if detonate at the same height? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2018 01:55 PM PST The Giant Magellan Telescope will have 7 mirror segments, each 8.4 meters across. The Extremely Large Telescope will have 798 mirror segments, each 1.4 meters across, (plus a bunch of large auxilliary mirrors) What advantage will the GMT's mirrors have over the ELT's due to their massive size? What advantage will the ELT have compared to the GMT due to it's massive number of mirrors? [link] [comments]  |

| Can you have too little epinephrine? Posted: 17 Nov 2018 12:26 PM PST Most of my research I did focuses on too much epinephrine. What happens if you don't have enough? [link] [comments]  |
| What happens to the wavefunction if we know that a particle must be at a specific point in space? Posted: 17 Nov 2018 06:10 PM PST I'm just thinking that inside a black hole, for example, where degeneracy pressure breaks down and all matter is compressed down to a single point in space, what would the wavefunction look like? I understand that the act of observation collapses the wavefunction under normal circumstances and forces the particle to assume a position in space, but for a black hole, we know that the particle must be at that single point in space.

| Posted: 17 Nov 2018 04:31 PM PST I've seen YouTubers melt pretty much everything but steel in their backyards and I'm just wondering how the crucible survives all the punishment. I also saw a video of a man picking up a space age material with his bare hands after pulling it out of the forge at >2000°f. I'm sure that's a totally separate science, but I'm just curious how these materials can withstand so much heat. I suppose the better question would be, what causes certain materials to handle more heat than others? Is there a specific trait metals, rocks, and dirt can have that makes them more resistant to higher temperatures? [link] [comments]  |

| Why prescribe different antibiotics for different illnesses? Posted: 17 Nov 2018 09:51 AM PST Hello - hope this hasnt been asked before, I did a cursory search and couldn't find it. But why are different antibiotics prescribed for different illnesses? Example: I typically get prescribed amoxicillin for an ear infection or strep, but just got metronidazole for BV. Are they metabolized differently? Do different meds work better on specific body parts? It seems like an antibiotic would just be an antibiotic, and would work the same throughout the body.

| What shape is the maxwell boltzmann (energy) distribution? Posted: 17 Nov 2018 07:32 PM PST I'm trying to generate a graph for the maxwell boltzmann (energy) distribution that ACTUALLY has numbers on the x-axis for once - no internet resources show this. I initially went to the wiki page to find a formula for the distribution and found this - labelled as equation (9), which gives a familiar bell-ish curve to the distribution. It looks kinda like a surge function or a chi squared distribution with this formula. This is also the shape you see in most chemistry text books when they use it to discuss reaction rates and such. HOWEVER when I try and couple this with my other knowledge of how this distribution works - ie. that the proportion of particles (area under the curve) with energy greater than E should be exp(-E/kT) it simply doesn't check out. A distribution with that property has to cross y = 1 at the x axis, not begin at the origin like all the texts show. Looking further I found this hyperphysics page, and again we see a distribution that's clearly just an exponential decay - no bump in the middle, No beginning at the origin. This is maddening, because the exp(-E/kT) relation crops up in reaction rates (solving the rate constant using the Arrhenius equation), yet does not check out with any of the graphics of the distribution itself at all. WHAT is going on here?!? and how could I ever plot a graph of this distribution with numbers on the x-axis like I want? Any clarification would be GREATLY appreciated here. note: looking to plot (kinetic) energy, not velocity. The reason for this is because in chemistry (where I want to use this), texts use this distribution to contrast with the idea of activation energy. It's easier to compare energy to energy than to switch between energy and velocity in a student's head. [link] [comments]  |
| How does early scientists detect or even theorise the existence of quarks? Posted: 17 Nov 2018 05:59 AM PST What prompted them to crack open an atom which itself is already a hard thing to observe, and determine whether if there is anything smaller than the subatomic particles?

| Posted: 17 Nov 2018 09:15 AM PST context: I've taken biochemistry at uni. but we didn't cover fats, soaps much at all. Basically if it wasn't a 2-4 atom reaction between Bromine, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, it just wasn't discussed. And if it was more than a couple of atoms reaction we entered the realm of medicine studies, where we skipped the chemistry of it for a big picture chart where Pyruvate wasn't seen as a sum of its atomic parts, but rather a distinct unit called pyruvate (to give an example). So yeah. That's the context of why i'm wondering some middle-chemistry between individual atomic reactions and their macromolecule interactions. Namely, Why do Soaps not just bond to eachother in solution, and then when fats are added, they just ignore the fat? [link] [comments]  |
