| What are the tiny triangular creases on your skin called? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 07:30 PM PDT So if you look close, like I mean REAL close at your skin's surface, such as your arm for instance, you'll see this mural-like pattern of triangles. I suppose these are creases to allow the skin to be more flexible. Anyone know what these triangles/creases are called? [link] [comments]  |

| What does the '+' sign in specific saccharide nomenclatures mean? Posted: 07 Jun 2019 03:06 AM PDT For example D-(+)-Galactose. I know D/L define which stereoisomere of the bottom most chiral point (in acyclic form) it is and α/β means the orientation of the first OH functional group on the anomeric carbon in cyclic form but the + evades me. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2019 09:52 PM PDT I have wondered about this since I was a university student. I've taken many psychology classes and different courses studying the human mind and hypnosis has always interested me but I also think it could be just the 'power of influence' or something similar. I have even tried to let myself be hypnotized on 2 separate occasions, but, I was told I might not be susceptible to hypnosis. So that has made me skeptical whenever I further read or observed someone being "hypnotized" for an intensive psychology session, or even on stage in a hypnotist/mentalist show. Is it real and what happens to the mind/body if someone can be successfully hypnotized? Edit spelling [link] [comments]  |
| How many chicks can a chicken have? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 11:35 AM PDT I have chickens and they lay (generally) eggs once a day. If I had a rooster would the rooster just keep fertilizing the eggs and the chicken keep laying them? Is there a point where the chicken/rooster just says "fuck this" and stop? [link] [comments]  |

| If a laser can impart momentum to a light sail, does it mean it has recoil? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 01:32 PM PDT Using space-based lasers to accelerate (or decelerate) ships is a near-future tech that's often taken as granted by futurists. It sure sounds awesome, but if it can impart momentum doesn't that mean that it will be submitted to some sort of recoil? Would they need to carry chemical fuel or have a backwards-shooting laser to compensate? If so, is it a significant challenge to manage, or pretty easy once you already have high-power lasers in space? [link] [comments]  |
| Why does earth’s rotation not slow down from tidedal forces? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 02:25 PM PDT Of course it requires energy to move all this water around... where is this coming from? Something must be slowing down... somewhere? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2019 04:00 PM PDT Erosion of agricultural land was a huge issue in the US before WWII. The Dustbowl was a huge issue, but even before that, a lot of farms became heavily degraded. What's the current situation? Are we still losing more soil than we're building? Is this a sustainable situation? [link] [comments]  |
| Radiometric Dating: How do we know the parent:daughter isotope ratio was initially 100:0? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 08:23 PM PDT A few simple questions about radiometric dating:
I would gladly take articles about the last two questions with open arms if people could point me in the right direction. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| Does cherenkov radiation slow down the beta particles? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 08:27 AM PDT I've always seen cherenkov radiation analogous to a sonic boom. And in a sonic boom, there's air resistance to slow down the object and that's why it creates a sound at all. But for beta particles emitting cherenkov radiation, does the photon emitted reduce the speed of the beta particle, like in Bremsstrahlung radiation? [link] [comments]  |
| How to these pictures which show how objects distort spacetime make any sense? Posted: 06 Jun 2019 02:13 PM PDT https://i.stack.imgur.com/sXO2u.png In this image, the sun is sinking in a flat plane. I just don't understand how this image makes any sense though, as space is 3D. This model wouldn't work if the planets were orbiting on a vastly different plane, and I think it would get more confusing if you looked at the gravity of things on earth. Objects don't influence other objects gravitationally only on one plane. [link] [comments]  |
