Is melatonin in breastmilk stored or expressed during feeding?

Posted: 02 Jan 2020 06:52 AM PST

Just wondering. I know melatonin levels in breastmilk are higher in the evening and early morning. But, is it stored at those times or does the body secrete it during letdown? If I last breastfed at 12 midnight, will i get the same melatonin content if there was no breastfeeding or pumping until, say 8 in the morning?

At what height does it become dangerous to jump into water?

Posted: 02 Jan 2020 02:40 AM PST

I believe the high jump of most diving boards is about 30 feet.

​

So, at what point could it result in injury or even death if you jumped into water? Would a jump from, say, 50 feet be dangerous?

When you stick your arm out of the window on the freeway, how come the friction from the air rolling across your skin cools you off instead of warming you up?

Posted: 02 Jan 2020 06:40 AM PST

So i know that when your rub your hands together when you are cold, they warm up because matter is rubbing up against matter. Air is matter, so why does it cool us down when it blows across us very fast when we drive down the road, even in the summer when the air is warmer?

Are there any lifeforms that don't rely on sunlight (even indirectly)?

Posted: 01 Jan 2020 03:12 PM PST

Can any lifeforms survive without sunlight?

Objectively speaking, chemoautotrophs don't create energy from sunlight, so they don't directly rely on the sun. But according to several sources, this is misleading. I saw that the chemoautotrophs in Lechuguilla, for example, use atmospheric oxygen (derived from sunlight-driven photosynthesis) as an electron acceptor. Indirectly, they're still reliant on the sun's energy.

Are there any cases of chemoautotrophs (or other lifeforms) which have zero reliance on the sun's energy? Perhaps lava tube microbial mats, or the bacteria around deep sea vents? I'm hoping to hear about lifeforms which could survive unaffected if the solar system suddenly went dark, which the Lechuguillan chemotrophs (presumably) could not.

As an extension to this question, if sunlight-independent chemoautotrophs do exist, do they produce enough energy to provide for other animals? Is a deep sea vent, for example, home to a complicated ecosystem, with chemoautotrophs as the primary producer?

Why do we say that there was no time before Big Bang?

Posted: 02 Jan 2020 02:48 AM PST

If we observed space to be expanding, it means things were tiny once. So maybe everything exploded away from each other a long time ago. This is all about space though. It doesn't mean that time didn't when space was tiny. In fact, 'time didn't exist prior to Big Bang' also seems incomprehensible. Do people who say that have any idea what it means? That's because anything and everything exists inside time. Time is pretty much the stage where things exist. If we're theorizing the birth of time, we're pretty much saying everything just popped out of nothing.

Polarization of light with tartrate crystals in a fluid... but how?

Posted: 01 Jan 2020 08:04 PM PST

I was watching a youtube video last night about when Pasteur discovered left/right handed molecules due to the way that the crystals polarized light when dissolved in a fluid.

My question would be - how in the world would polarization work with crystals in a fluid? Wouldn't the crystal orientation be every direction possible? Is there something else going on there? I would think that anything suspended in a fluid is going to be highly chaotic.

How does gravitational time dilation cause the effect of Shapiro Time Delay?

Posted: 02 Jan 2020 01:24 AM PST

How do observers detect a time delay for light traveling through a vacuum versus light traveling through a vacuum near an object of strong gravity but the same distance? If time is passing more slowly for light as it gets closer to the massive body then shouldn't it seem to be traveling faster to the outside observers since it will be covering the same distance in less time (from the reference frame of the light)? or at least take the same amount of time to the outside observer? What am I not getting?

What might be the incidence of undetected cancer (all kinds) that the immune system stops before it becomes a clinical issue?

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:04 AM PST

Checkpoint inhibitors "take the breaks off" the immune system to enable it to attack tumors that express e.g. PD-1. This leads me to wonder how frequently an individual might have somatic mutations that are potentially carcinogenic, but the immune system destroys the mutated cell lines before it ever becomes a clinical issue.

Obviously there aren't epidemiological studies detailing the incidence of this, but I'm wondering if my line of thinking above is correct, and if it is, what might be a reasonable estimate if the frequency of this happening over the lifetime of an individual, or incidence across the population as a whole.

Does lift depend on the distance from the ground ?

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:01 AM PST

I saw a picture of the largest diamond pit mine in the world, in Russia, with text claiming that it is so large and so deep that helicopters flying over it drop, as if sucked in. To what extent does lift depend on the ground (apart from the ground effect) exhibited by flying close to the ground or water surface)?

Here's one of the sites reporting that helicopters flying over the pit get sucked in:

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mir-diamond-mine

I had learned that lift has been demonstrated to come primarily from mass flow diverted downward by a wing or rotor, and to a much lesser extent by the Bernoulli effect. If this is so, lift should not change if a helicopter flies over a huge pit mine.

Is the pit mine helicopter-sucking story real? And if so, how does that work?

How did species survive in the days just after the K-Pg Extinction event?

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 09:26 AM PST

The K-Pg Extinction event (aka the Chicxulub impact, widely known as being the impact that killed the dinosaurs) "devastated the global environment, mainly through a lingering impact winter which halted photosynthesis in plants and plankton" (Wikipedia). And yet numerous different species, the ancestors of all organisms today, somehow pulled through.

How, exactly, could anything survive this? How did plants survive without sunlight, or animals survive without anything to eat? I can understand scavenging for days and weeks on dead plant matter and decaying cadavers, but how was this sustainable for months and years? I just don't get what the means of survival were for long enough for the dust clouds to subside and photosynthesis to resume.

Thanks for any insight.

Can we filter gametes for genetic defects and use them for IVF?

I think that altering embryonic human DNA is illegal (based on coverage of that Chinese doctor who was recently convicted), but even if that's true for embryos AND gametes, maybe it's legal to just filter them.

Is that possible with today's technology? And if we could filter out defects, could we filter for desirable genes?

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 06:44 AM PST

It is often said that humans and chimps share ~99% of their DNA. How is this calculated?

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:19 PM PST

I am not asking how they gather this data. Rather, is the percentage calculated by base pairs, codons, or individual genes? (E.g. Amount of different base pairs divided by the total amount of base pairs)

I'm wondering because this has a potentially significant impact on how the same data is presented. Lets say humans have 4 genes. If we take one normative human and one human with sickle cell anemia (a point mutation) if you calculate by individual genes their dna is 25% different. If you do it by base pairs they are virtually exactly the same.

I would assume that it is by codons, and I know that this seems relatively trivial and unimportant but the answer will change how I view these statistics.

Edit: spelling

We know shell activity gives no conclusive information about core activity so most astronomers think the current change in luminosity is simply part of the regular dimming cycle. Does that statement of no conclusive information also extend to spectral analysis of the shell?

Why weren't these fossils cover by lava and ash?

Posted: 29 Dec 2019 06:37 PM PST

We are told that the last eruption of Yellowstone's Super-volcano was 640,000 years ago. The Teton Range, which borders Yellowstone, started rising up from the plain some 9 million years ago. The Tetons are full of sea fossils and petrified wood. One boulder field in particular (which sits at at about 10,000 feet elevation) has thousands of visible fossils that are from the Cambrian period, which would have been deposited on the ocean floor some 2.5 billion years ago. My question is this: if the Tetons began their appearance 9 million years ago, and those fossils started at the bottom and were then forever on the top of the Teton Range, why were all of these fossils not covered by lava and ash during Yellowstone's last eruption? Could the Tetons be younger than suspected? Or did Yellowstone blow a lot longer ago than science tells us? Give me your thoughts/theories! I have asked this to geologists, volcanologists, and paleontologists, and none of them have had an answer.

Rainbows obviously refract visible light at different wavelengths. I assume this refraction continues on the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, including infrared light. My understanding is that infrared light is synonymous with heat. Therefore, would the area of a rainbow beyond the red arc, which would logically refract infrared light, be measurably warmer?

what is snot exactly? where is it made? what's it purpose? why do I get it during a cold?

The way I "feel" it it's being secreted in my nasal cavities, but is it? My best guess would be it helps keeping the viral infection in my respiratory tract in check, is that correct? how exactly does it achieve that?

After I wake up I'm clogged with it, and it seems like it gets a bit harder and less fluid, it also changes color, from whiteish to yellowish, is it sitting in my nasal cavity and throat and "hardens" there?

when I blow it feels like it's reaching my ears, and then slowly trickels down again, is this what's happening?is it actually getting all the way to my ears?

If I suck it in instead of blowing it it then feels like a small portion of it actually gets in my throat, is that what's happening? that doesn't sound like it's a good idea to do, is it?

and what about the mucus that I cough up during a cold, is that the same as the snot I blow from my nose? that feels like it's coming straight from my lungs, is it?

What does the Partition Function actually mean in a physical sense? Why does it contain all the information for the thermodynamical properties of the system?

Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:14 PM PST

I mean this from the perspective of statistical mechanics:

I get that the partition function is the "Normalization factor" of the probability calculation for the different states. But I don't get why does that mean that we can derive a system's energy, etc. so easily from it.

Is this just a result of some algebraic miracle (that somehow the calculation for the average energy by traditional methods coincides with the one using the partition function)? Or is there some deeper meaning to the partition function that makes it as useful as it is?

How are commercial scale cooked products made safe to store?

Posted: 29 Dec 2019 05:53 PM PST

So it's pretty common knowledge that if you cook something like chicken, and leave it out on the bench at room temperature for a day or two, it may be dangerous to eat. If you refridgerate it, it's good for a few days, and if you freeze it, it can be good for a while.

I understand this is because dangerous bacteria live and breed in certain temperatures (I was always told 5-60c), and if you ingest a large enough mass of those bacteria, they'll mess you up?

I've read online that if you cook something yourself and freeze it, it'll stay good for up to 6 months. But if you go out and buy a frozen dinner from the supermarket, it usually has a use by date a year or two into the future.

The last few years the supermarkets around me have started to stock 'fresh' refridgerated meals, that don't come frozen. If I cook a curry or something and put it in the fridge, it can start to go bad after 4-5 days, but most of these supermarket meals have use by dates into the weeks, sometimes as high as 3 weeks.

Even more recently (like last month or so), I've started to see completely unrefridgerated versions of these meals. Things like chicken curries that have a use by date of 6 months (!!!).

So my question is, what technology do companies use to achieve these gains in the food storage space? I'm particularly interested about the unrefridgerated stuff, since it's appeared in my area recently. Has there been new advances in food science that the general public might not be aware of?
