When unpolarized light is polarized what happens to light waves that exist at say 45 degrees to vertical?

Asumming the polariser is vertical, then 100% of vertically polarised light passes through it and 0% horizontal light passes through it. Simple so far.
For 45 degree light it gets weired. Each photon of light has a 50:50 chance of making it through. It is impossible to tell if a particlular photon will or will not pass through. it is totally random. If it does pass through however it will change its polarisation to vertical!
So a scientist would measure a beam of vertically poloarised light at 50% intensity.

Why is Uranus the only planet tilted on its side?
This is not actually the case. All of the planets are tilted. Uranus just happens to be tilted more than any of the others. The Earth, for example is actually tilted 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Uranus is tilted 98 degrees from the vertical, making its north pole point towards the sun.

the temperature is getting warmer.
What happens at 1000 degrees?
Metals begin to melt.
What happens when a neuron is polarized?
When a neuron is polarized, usually by the influx of chloride ions into the neuron, it is incapable of creating an action potential (incapable of firing). Only when the neuron returns to a resting potential, via pumping ions back across the membrane, can it be depolarized (sodium ion influx) to generate an action potential.
