Collidal silver

12 Upvotes

So today my mom showed up with a whole bottle of this Collider Silver and told me it suppossedly cures EVerYThInG but me being the skeptical child I am thought this sounded a bit MLM. I asked her where she got it from and she said that a friend gave it to her. Now since I'm going to travel soon she of course was worried about my health and thought this would quote 'kill even coronavirus'. I have enough sense to see this is most likely a scam and might even be a bit dangerous to consume. So I have come here to ask if anybody can give me an anwser on whether or not this Collidal Silver is dangerous for me to consume and if it is, to please provide me with some info so that I may explain the situation better to my mother. Thanks in advance!

Walking in train under speed of light

If you are in a train that is moving 5 MPH under the speed of light, and you throw a ball at 10 MPH, what happens?

What if someone were to get hold of a a thin, solid but light, metal rod that is long enough that if you swung it without hitting anything, the end of it would move at the speed of light?

Light speed

5 Upvotes

How can we know light speed is maximum speed, if we dont know for sure any fix point in the universe? I mean, it is possible that we can travel at twice light speed if we want to go (at light speed) to a point that is traveling to us at light speed, isnt it ?

Garbage disposal

If we suppose we have spacerockets that are cheap and reusable, could we send our garbage to the sun? Would it be dangerous in the long run? For example: distorting it's behavior, causing solar winds etc.

help me work out Snowpocolypse logic

4 Upvotes

Ok, lets say by tomorrow the entire world will cool to a temperature to allow it to start slowing world wide. like we are talking perfect global snowfall. I already know while the ocean won't be frozen over to start, it will more than likely freeze over eventually. Exactly how much snow would there be? Like what would be the world average for the snowfall on the ground.

Caught something strange in a video. I didn’t notice it while filming, or the noise it made on the IPod. It looks like something coming from the floor and meeting what passes by. It breaks apart too, it’s not solid. ???

Dark Matter ex Dark Energy

4 Upvotes

I have a few questions regarding Dark Matter, or Dark Energy.

Is Dark Energy a particle? Does it have a wavelength?

Do you believe Dark Energy would become a future rocket propellant.

How much do we know about it?

thanks

Explain why this won't work.

4 Upvotes

I was going through my old journals from middle school last night and found an entry from 6th grade natural science class. In it I said if we want to live on Mars we should take a green house full of plants and trees so they will produce oxygen and build off of it until we can all stay there. I was wondering why that wouldn't work? The teacher wrote that it was a creative idea, but didn't correct me on why it wouldn't work. I don't know enough about plants or science to see an issue. Also I'm sorry if it's really obvious and I just sound like a rambling idiot.
