How are chopsticks and science related?

There have been many great scientists from China and throughout the Orient. Answer There are two principles that come into play when using chopsticks, both follow Newton's third law of motion "To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction". When the chopsticks pick up a portion of food i.e meat, the chop sticks are forced against the meat to be able to pick it up. At the same time the meat is forced against the chop sticks with the same amount of pressure. Chop sticks are also used to do work. When the chop sticks are raised upwards towards the mouth work is being done, though the amount of work is negligible.

What are the seven primary smells that humans are able to smell?

A scientist named Amoore supposedly discovered 7 primary smells. In reality, there are no primary smells because no consistent relationship has ever been found and replicated between chemical structure and smell perception. For instance, two chemicals that have similar structures may smell very similar or very different. In addition, two chemicals with very different structures may smell very similar or very different. Further, smell undergoes much top-down interference via verbal labels and visual cues. For instance, you can confuse wine experts by coloring white wines red. In sum, the idea of 7 primary smells is unfounded and only supported by Amoore's findings. Look up experts such as Stevenson, Wilson, and any others you can find on any legitimate online database such as JSTOR.

How can you eliminate marijuana smoke odors?

Burn incense and open windows to get rid of the smell in a stinky room. It works really well because the incense smell mixes with the marijuana smell and neutralizes it. To get it out of fabrics, just toss the thing in the laundry. To get pot smell out of your hair (especially if you have long hair), take a long shower and wash your hair. If you're talking about eliminating smell while you're smoking, use a vaporizer or just keep a fan going or incense burning to circulate smells. and keep windows open. pretty simple, good luck. == You may be able to mask the smell, but if your neighbor is allergic, you will still make them sick. Incense just sticks in your receptor sites and prevents you from noticing the smell -- it's still there, and it will come out of your pores in your perspiration later, even if you wear perfume.
