Breaking bones after hot shower

0 Upvotes

I’ve had this thought for years now but never really looked into it. Would it be easier to break a bone after taking a hot shower? Or maybe spending a decent amount of time in a hot tub?

Missing antimatter, dark matter and Fermi.

0 Upvotes

This question really feels more like sci fi, but whatever.

What would happen (simulation wise) if we considered that parts of dark matter may be extra terrestrial AI who are studying us and life like us to learn more about evolution (thereby themselves) while avoiding terrestrial gravity wells.

Then, consider that they may be placing themselves on close orbits to black holes, collecting matter antimatter pairs to use as future fuel.

With these 2 in mind, might the lack of precieved radio contact be an indication that they are traveling very fast (due to orbiting black holes) and communicate over shorter distances, or when colliding with one another, so as to be more energy efficient?

Idk if any simulations have taken all these possibilities into account, so was wondering if anyone knows anything.

  1. what is the difference between an ELEMENT a COMPOUND and a MIXTURE? Explain how they are different and lost 2 examples of each. 2. a new element is discovered that is a solid but liquid at room temperature, highly reactive and shiny where would it most likely be found on the periodic table and why? 3. If an element had an atomic number of 120 and an atomic mass of 250, how many PROTONS,NEURONS and ELECTRONS would each atom have? And how do you know?

So . . . how the hell does the Big Bang make sense?

0 Upvotes

The law of conservation of matter says matter can’t be created, but if it can’t be created where did it come from? Scientists point to the Big Bang, but then where did that from? Inertia says something had to set the explosion in motion.

Chemical?? Physical?? Both??

0 Upvotes

So, I've been mulling this over for a while and I can't come to a conclusive answer. Let's say you have some C4. You want to take out a large oak tree. You set the C4 and blow up the tree. Would this be a chemical change, physical change, or both??

Can Semen toilet paper clog toilet/shower drains. NSFW

1 Upvotes

So basically I have heard yes and no to this answer all over the internet. My toilet has been not flushing like it's supposed to for a couple of days now. I am worried I may have caused damages because of my disposal technique. I always clean up my mess with toilet paper (then wipes and cleaner etc) and flush it down. It would be incredibly embarrassing and scary if I caused any damages to my toilet or pipes. I can't really pay for the damages that the internet rumors say happen so serious answers would be greatly appreciated, if you have explanations as to why the answer is yes or no I would be very appreciative as well. To clarify I flush toilet paper with semen on it down the toilet for a year now can that cause damages or clogs. Thank you for your help.

Black holes, are they even holy

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is even possible but,

as far as I know, a black hole is thought to be a tiny point with a huge gravity well or a tear in space time. But, what if they're just suns that have moved into another stage of fusion? Could they have changed due to the massive explosion they creating heavier elements which we dont know about which in turn causes higher gravity. They could be emitting light that is caught in massive gravity and such strong magnetic fields that it can never escape.

Is this possible? Would there be a way to test if they were just different types of suns, without flying into one?

Circulatory systems

1 Upvotes

A while ago, I read about circulatory systems and then being preserved and how there’s only a few preserved circulatory systems of humans in the world on a Snapchat “Learn Fax” page. Usually, the pages usually steal or post fake bs and content from reddit, Twitter, and instagram so I’m hoping you guys are able to provide answers as to if there actually are preserved circulatory systems in the world. Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

How can you tell if a large molecule is polar or not

2 Upvotes

Hi, I know how to tell if a molecule with 2 atoms is polar or not because you just look at the electronegativity but I don't know how to tell if a molecule with more atoms is polar or not. How can you tell if a large molecule is polar or not for 100 per cent of the time?.

thanks
