Science

The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena is all part of science. Nothing is immune to the scientific process: from charm quarks that haven't existed naturally since the beginning of time to Pluto, recently demoted from planet to dwarf planet. Questions on knowledge about the material and physical aspects of our world are asked and answered here.

Can the brown noise actually make you poop on south park?

South Park science aside. Yes, there are certain frequencies that, when delivered at the proper volume or angle or distance or all of the above, will cause a person to release the contents of their bowels. There are also frequencies that cause disorientation, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, despair and hopelessness, breathlessness, and death (all the way up to liquification/vaporization).

How much of the moon's surface is covered with water?

About 0.005% of the moon's surface is covered with water, mainly in the form of ice found in shadowed craters near the poles. This water ice is believed to have been delivered by comets and other celestial bodies over millions of years.

What is space ice called?

Space ice is often referred to as "cryogenic ice" or "interstellar ice" due to its extremely cold temperatures and formation in outer space. This ice is typically composed of water molecules that have condensed and frozen in the frigid conditions of space.

What was the hypothesis Czarnowski formed?

That flap engines would be more efficient!

What does alkalinty mean?

You mean alkalinity?

Alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. The alkalinity is equal to the stoichiometric sum of the bases in solution.

Would Stonehenge have been of value if the universe was unpredictable?

Stonehenge's value lies in its alignment with astronomical events, suggesting the ability of ancient civilizations to predict celestial events. If the universe was unpredictable, Stonehenge would lose this value as it would no longer serve as a tool for tracking the movements of celestial bodies.

What happens to the cornea after light hits it?

The light heats it up to the point where it undergoes a mini-explosion, and is then referred to as a "popcornea".

Just kidding. The cornea is transparent, and does nothing else except transmit and focus light, a function a bit like that of the crystalline lens behind it.

Can you use pertol in a rocket?

Jet engines capture ambient oxygen to use as an oxidizer for their fuel. In a sense, an afterburner is somewhat like a rocket, but it still uses ambient oxygen for the oxidizer.

Rockets are different. Since they are designed to travel out of the atmosphere, they must carry both their oxidizer and their fuel.

Many hydrocarbons will work as a rocket fuel including petrol (gasoline), diesel, and even tar. But they must all also have oxygen as a second fuel for the oxidizer.

Solid Rockets have both the oxidizer and fuel built into the same matrix, somewhat like gunpowder.

The "Oxidizer" doesn't have to be oxygen, or even contain oxygen. Nitric Acid has been utilized as an oxidizer in some rocket engines.

What is the final item placed on a wet mount before viewing with a light source?

Typically, a coverslip is placed on the specimen on a wet mount slide before viewing with a light source. The coverslip helps to prevent evaporation of the water, keeps the specimen in place, and provides a flat surface for better visualization under the microscope.

Why it is call sky juice?

Probably about the same thing as "Liquid Sunshine".

I.E. Rain, and its derivatives.

Why are lighthouses lights red?

They aren't. Most all are white. They might have a red light on the top, but the lights they put out to sea are always white, and sometimes rotate to other colors such as red or green. In any of these designs an observer, rather than seeing a continuous weak light, sees a brighter light during short time intervals. These instances of bright light are arranged to create a light characteristic, or pattern specific to the particular lighthouse. For example, for the Scheveningen lighthouse, time intervals between flashes are alternately 2.5 and 7.5 seconds. Some lights have sectors of a particular color (usually formed by colored panes in the lantern) to distinguish safe water areas from dangerous shoals. Modern lighthouses often have unique reflectors or Racon transponders so the radar signature of the light is also unique.

Will an astronaut be left behind when he steps out of his spaceship?

No.

The reason why is, the astronaut and the spaceship are traveling at the same speed.

The astronaut would have to careful though! Because, if the astronaut pushed away slightly from the spaceship as the astronaut stepped out, the astronaut would drift away from the spaceship and would continue to drift across space forever, provided the astronaut didn't bump into anything out there or get sucked in by the gravity field of a planet or a star.

That's why when they do an EAV (Extravehicular Activity) they have to either be tethered to the spacecraft or have a MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit). The MMU is kinda like a jet pack of sorts, it lets the astronaut fly around the spaceship with compressed jets of air.

How do you know if it's going to be sunny or not?

Weather forecast services provide information on whether it will be sunny or not. They analyze atmospheric conditions, such as cloud cover and precipitation, to make predictions. Monitoring the sky and observing current weather patterns can also give you an indication of whether it will be sunny.

Is it possible for an observation to be accurate but not precise?

Yes, it is possible. Accuracy refers to how close an observation is to the true value, while precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. An observation can be accurate if it is close to the true value, even if the measurements are not precise and vary widely.

What is the name of someone that studies stars?

I don't know if i have spelled it right but they are known as an 'Astronomar' if it isn't spelled right sorry but you should get the basic idea of what i have said :) The correct spelling of the word mentioned above is 'Astronomer'.

How long does it take in solar time for big dipper to return to same position in observers sky?

The Big Dipper takes approximately 23 hours and 56 minutes to return to the same position in the observer's sky due to the Earth's rotation. This is known as a sidereal day, which is slightly shorter than the 24-hour solar day we use for our daily activities.

When was the great seal first discovered?

The Great Seal of the United States was first adopted in 1782. It was designed by Charles Thomson and has since been used to authenticate important documents of the U.S. government.

What are three sources of white light?

Red, Blue and Green given out the white light for human species.

Human is "Trichromacy". It means we have 3 type of receptors response to red, blue and green light. Only 3 colours responses at different degree translated by out brain to see whole spectrum of light as it is.

For a true white light, it is the black body radiation of temperature 5000 - 6000 K and complete range of spectrum according to that temperature.

What is atmosphere compared to biosphere?

The atmosphere refers to the layer of gases surrounding Earth, while the biosphere includes all living organisms on Earth. The atmosphere is composed of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, which support life in the biosphere by providing essential elements for organisms to survive. The biosphere, on the other hand, is made up of various ecosystems where living organisms interact with each other and with their physical environment.

What causes the magnetosphere to exist?

The magnetosphere exists due to Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This magnetic field extends out into space, forming a protective shield around the Earth that deflects charged particles from the solar wind.

What does occam's razor refer to?

William of Occum was a 14th century friar and philosopher. 'Occum's Razor', essentially, states that if there are a number of solutions to a particular problem, the simplest is usually the best.

What time did the twin towers get bombed at?

The twin towers were attacked on September 11, 2001. The attacks occurred in the morning, with the North Tower being struck at 8:46 am and the South Tower at 9:03 am.

What do rockets have to do with science?

Rockets carry Spaceships, Probes, and Satellites into space, as well as carrying missiles. Purposes can be for research, civilian use, or military use.

They often require extremely precise calculations of thrust and mass, as well as cutting edge designs, especially early in the space programs before computers were widespread.

NASA has hired some extremely bright individuals which led to landing on the moon as well as sending probes and/or landers to the planets and moons in the solar system.

The term "Rocket Scientist" was colloquialised to recognize the extraordinary skills necessary to bring the space program to fruition, and in comparison of those skills to more menial skills or tasks. "I'm not a rocket scientist.... It doesn't take a rocket scientist".

How was it used when originally invented?

"It" is used to describe something undefined.

In science, you may never use "it" in an experiment because when another scientists is reading the results, they will not know what is being talked about.
