| Why isn’t our Jupiter a ‘hot Jupiter’? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 06:19 PM PDT What stopped the planet Jupiter from moving closer to the sun and becoming a hot Jupiter? [link] [comments]  |

| At what age do babies usually begin to understand humour/jokes? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:34 AM PDT I have a 1yo, at about 7 months he began a behaviour which I think can be described as a very basic practical joke. First he thought it was funny seeing his soother in my mouth, I figure he understood it was his. He would take it from my mouth and put it in his own. This developed into him offering his soother to me, but pulling away at the last second, putting it in his own mouth and then laughing hysterically. Obviously there is more going on cognitively than peek-a-boo or tickling. Has there been studies on how young children understand the concept of jokes, and what developmental impact this has if any?

| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 06:54 AM PDT According to Wikipedia the radiation or "harsh charged-particle environment" around Jupiter caused probes to malfunction and suffer data loss. On the level of individual particles, what is mechanism by which radiation of this kind messes with the electronic devices? Does it have something to do with magnetized particles bumping into and flipping random 'switches' within the microprocessor? [link] [comments]  |

| Is there any benefit to being lighter skinned in colder climates? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 11:22 PM PDT I always found it strange that the further from the equator you go, the lighter skin pigment people tend to have. Also that your body doesn't bother to maintain a tan unnecessarily - I wouldn't have thought it would take much in the way of energy or resources once the melanin has been produced. Is there any advantage to being lighter skinned in a colder climate? Is there a downside to maintaining a tan without the sun around (such as use of excess energy or something along these lines)?

| Is counter-vibration a real thing? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:24 PM PDT Can a small amount of impact be neutralized through sensors and motors creating an equal and opposite reaction? [link] [comments]  |
| where does the oxygen come out of in plants? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 07:41 AM PDT i know it is a process in the cells, but does the O just come out of every cell or what? [link] [comments]  |

| What is the best way to determine if an exoplanet is suitable to sustain human life? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 09:47 PM PDT Just say in some near future we send out a bunch of probes in various directions to try and find a suitable planet for permanent colonisation down the track. What is the most effective test that can be performed in order to determine with 100% confidence that a planet is suitable for us to live on? Bonus question: how do we get the message back? I'm imagining some kind of self destruct that would produce a specific frequency of RF (although that is probably not even possible). [link] [comments]  |

| Does the value for pressure at the bottom of the ocean have the atmospheric pressure factored in? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 04:58 AM PDT If the pressure that the weight water causes was just x and then the atmospheric pressure was 2x would the actual pressure experienced by a human at that depth be 3x? Or would it just simply be x? [link] [comments]  |
| How do photons of white light carry all colors if color is specific to wavelength? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 01:35 PM PDT When white light hits a prism, it splits into many different colors because white color is a combination of all colors. How does one photon carry several different wavelengths? [link] [comments]  |

| How does our brain actually store information? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:47 PM PDT From my understanding our brain is made up of tons of neurons that are all connected in a really complex network. How is it possible for us to remember images, words, or anything? Where does the chemistry interface with our conciousness? It can't simply be associating images with the firing of a specific branch of a neural network right? There has to be somewhere where that interaction is stored. For example: when you see a dog for the first time, a specific connection of many neurons fires, and you come to associate that firing with an image of a dog, but how do we associate that? How does our brain store the actual image of the dog that we can recall so vividly? [link] [comments]  |

| What exact plastic is used in recent erector sets? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 10:20 PM PDT I hope that this is the right place to ask this. I have looked everywhere and cannot find what type of plastic is used in modern erector sets. I have a set for building the White House, and I want to paint the dome. I'd like to make certain that I use compatible paint, and one that will last. Also I'd like to know how pigments caste in the plastic effect it's properties. [link] [comments]  |
| How does BCS theory and cooper pairs relate to the superconductive state of carbon nanotubes? Posted: 26 Apr 2018 09:04 AM PDT From reading into it, it seems that BCS theory only applies up to a critical temperature of 30K. Pure carbon nanotubes have shown to superconduct with a critical temperature greater than 30K, so why are Cooper pairs being used to describe their superconducting mechanism? [link] [comments]  |
