| Has there been any measurable increase in Goiters as sea salt becomes more popular? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 10:14 AM PST Table salt is fortified with iodine because many areas don't have enough in their ground water. As people replace table salt with sea salt, are they putting themselves at risk or are our diets varied enough that the iodine in salt is superfluous? [link] [comments] |
| Why does covid hit overweight people harder ? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 09:03 AM PST Title basicly. Is it related to the lipids making it easier for it to reproduce ? Or is it their immune system as fast foods are both related to lower immune responses and well, gaining weight as well ? If y'all have videos I love to watch that too :) Edit : no clue why I keep getting downvoted, perhaps its my bad english and I thank you for your patience with my learning of this language xoxox all the best to y'all Edit 2 : thank you so very much for all the answers ! i feel like i learned much today and I'm extra motivated to keep my lifestyle active and healthy !!

| Why does adding an acid to egg whites help stiffen it? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 12:57 PM PST When banking things like chiffon or sponge cake, egg whites are usually beaten with some acid to help stabilise it and ultimately get stiffer peaks. I can only think of acids creating an unfavourable environment for enzymes but that doesn't seem relevant here :) [link] [comments] |
| Is there any non graphic proof that when n appoaches infinity, |(x^n)| + |(y^n)| = r is a square? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 10:05 PM PST I've been playing with online cartesian drawing tools. When n=1, it is a rotated square at half PI. Then it will transform into a circle while rising n slowly towards 2. Then, an interesting thing began. Any increase in n will make it more square-y but will never become a complete square. Will it became a true square when n reaches infinity? What is the proof? [link] [comments] |
| How are rabies vaccines tested on humans? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 02:55 PM PST In my understanding each vaccine, before it enters regular usage, must undergo trials. During trials one group of people gets a vaccine, the other gets placebo, so that we can compare number of infections in each group. I can see how it works with diseases like influenza, COVID or measles. But how it works with rabies? Rabies vaccines are post-exposure and the disease is always lethal. It surely is unethical to give people exposed to rabies placebo if there is a potential vaccine, even if untested? Rabies is very rare, so the trial groups must be huge to gather enough data? Is there maybe a different process for diseases like rabies? [link] [comments] |
| Will Earth suffer the same fate as Venus? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 09:34 AM PST So, I've been watching lots of documentaries about Venus. Science tells us that once, Venus was a planet that was very similar to earth. Now, it's a treacherous poisonous inferno. Is there any science to suggest that global warming will send Earth to exactly the same fate. [link] [comments] |

| Why do different molecules bind to different Helices on receptors? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 12:41 PM PST Let me elaborate my question. The LSD molecule binds to the 5HT2B receptor between the III and IV Helice. LSD is considered as a partial agonist of the 5TH-Receptors. How would the binding look with a full agonist. Additionally what are these Helices made of. I know it's a G-Protein but how can I think of it. What's the complex of Helices? [link] [comments] |
| Why does salt/lime dissolve in water and why is the amount dependent on the temperature? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 05:53 AM PST So let me begin by telling from which direction I'm coming from. After using my water boiler in the kitchen for a couple of days, lime will settle at the bottom of it. Why does this happen? As far as I know warm water is capable of holding more salts and lime then cold water. Is this right? And my question then is, why is that even the case, why is there a difference in the amount of slat/lime, water can hold with different temperatures. I was wondering that because I don't understand why the lime settles down if it more it can dissolve in warm water. Is it only because of the steam that can't hold the lime? But then, why does there is no lime at the top of my boiler but only at the bottom? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Jan 2022 06:19 AM PST I just got a new periodic table and noticed that Cn is listed as part of the transition metals rather than the synthetic suoer-heavy elements. Does anyone know why this is? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:33 PM PST Just got my booster last night and feeling the side effects. Just came to mind as I was learning a bit about how the vaccine works. [link] [comments] |
| Why does stress sometimes manifest itself as tics and twitches? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 04:27 PM PST I've always been a highly strung person, but recently I've been under a lot of stress (who hasn't?) and as well as my stutter getting worse I've developed a tendency towards random twitches. Now, I'm getting help with my anxiety, so I'm not looking to get free therapy, I'm just wondering what causes the stress to manifest in this particular way. What's going on that makes my brain say "Hey, this is a difficult situation, so let's make the left arm wave randomly or the head twitch to the side." I'm pretty sure I'm not doing it for attention because it's almost always when I'm alone. Could it possibly be some sort of learned behaviour? If you had asked me to "act like a crazy person" a few months ago, I'm pretty sure this is what I would have done as I've seen similar behaviour on tv. Writing this post has made me think about it which has caused and unusual amount of twitches in a short time, including a kind of clenched shrugging, which is new. Interesting, but quite uncomfortable. [link] [comments] |
| Is The Earth's Core Getting Hotter? Posted: 18 Jan 2022 06:11 AM PST If we can measure that the Earth's atmosphere is heating up, then does that mean the core is also heating up, and could that possibly mean that the outer surface made up of hard rock is getting thinner because of the increasing ratio of magma to solid rock? Could this lead to more tectonic shifts and volcanoes as well as speed up the sea's warming by thinning the gap between the deepest points in the sea and the lava underneath? I made a 10 minute video explaining it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV3rza7GZ6M&t=199s Is this possible and could it be happening? [link] [comments] |

| Are there any major brain differences between snakes and lizards? Posted: 17 Jan 2022 03:53 PM PST I've noticed that while both groups are from the same order, they behave very differently from one another, even outside of their anatomical differences. You can really see this when looking at a comparison between a legless lizard and a snake. I don't know much about brain anatomy, but I'm curious how snake and lizard brains may differ, and how that may impact their behaviour. [link] [comments] |
