 Why does hot tap water look white until it settles down but cold tap water is crystal clear?

Most home faucets have a device that mixes air in with the stream of water to reduce flow so you don't waste water when you leave the sink running (washing dishes, etc). It's called an aerator. Hot water can hold dissolved gasses better than cold water so it takes longer for all the bubbles to go away.

 oh Why is Kaliningrad and the area surrounding it (a wedge between Poland and Lithuania) part of Russia?

Historically it was known as Konigsberg, prior to WWI, it, along with the northern strip of Poland next to it known as Gdansk was part of Germany. Specifically both of those were part of the German state of Prussia. After Germany's loss during WWI, Germany conceded Gdansk to Poland to be a "semi autonomous" province under the jurisdiction of Poland so that Poland could have access to the sea, but Konigsberg was still German territory. With Germany's loss during WWII, Russia annexed Konigsberg (because Russia is desperate for any warm water port they can find) and essentially deported all the Germans from there, settled it with Russians, and kept it under the control of Socialist Russia rather than another state that makes up the USSR. Poland similarly annexed a bit more of the northern strip from Gdansk to Szczecin. When the USSR fell, Russia kept it.

 Why do mugs leave marks on the table, when the drink inside is not in direct contact with it?

The mug has a different temp than the table, either water will condense on the mug, like a pop can, or the heat from the mug will cause the water in the table to expand/evaporate. Very hot things can cause the varnish to lift as well.

 How to use a travel pillow?

When falling asleep, your muscles relax. When laying on a bed, that is fine since gravity is already pulling you down to the bed and you won't fall deeper. When sitting upright, the muscles in your neck which keep your head up will relax and your head will fall down, making you wake up immediately. The travel pillow creates a kind of horizontal platform for your head stay up by itself, preventing it from falling when your muscles relax and thus preventing waking you up again. So, blow it up and place it in your neck from behind, with the opening at the front. Sleep well!

 Why do dead batteries from a remote control work again when you rub them?

Often a thin layer of corrosion will develop on the battery's terminals. By rubbing them, you scrap off that layer, allowing for a better connection. EDIT: u/Shauntheredwolf is also correct in that a warm battery will provide more current than a cold one. That is why car batteries don't always work on a very cold morning.

 If there is microbial life in Venus, could that be from Earth?

Possible, I guess, but NASA and Roscosmos have both been pretty diligent about sterilizing their interplanetary vehicles before launch - and Venus's atmosphere would murder most terran life pretty quickly anyway. (Months in vacuum on the way to Venus would be a brutal experience too, even for a bacterial spore.) AND, even if we got a microorganism to Venus, it would have to reproduce like mad to have any impact on the atmospheric composition, so it would need a great food supply. There isn't much on Venus that an Earth lifeform could metabolize, unless the thing were photosynthetic - and if it were, and managed to secure water by some miracle, it would be producing oxygen, not phosphene. Overall, I feel like that's too much of a reach.

 did we invent math or discover it?

A bit of both. There are 2 philosophical schools of thought about numbers. One, any intelligent being will understand numbers. There's something obvious about the idea of 3. Two, certain parts of math were clearly invented. Like calculus. Ideas like the square root of negative 1, isn't even a real number. But it critical to some complicated math concepts. Zero was invented independently by the Babylonians, Mayans and Indians (although some researchers say the Indian number system was influenced by the Babylonians). The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system. Six hundred years later and 12,000 miles from Babylon, the Mayans developed zero as a placeholder around A.D. 350 and used it to denote a placeholder in their elaborate calendar systems. Despite being highly skilled mathematicians, the Mayans never used zero in equations, however. Kaplan describes the Mayan invention of zero as the “most striking example of the zero being devised wholly from scratch.”

 Where exactly is the extra energy in a pulley system coming from to lift so much weight with so little effort?

Work (the total amount of energy used) equals force times distance. A pulley does the same work with less force by spreading the work over a greater distance. In order to output five times more lifting force, you have to pull the free end of the rope five times farther than the work end of the rope moves.

 how does UV light sanitize things?

UV light is ionizing, which means it readily breaks many common chemical bonds. Bacteria and viruses require their chemical bonds to be intact, elsewise they are dead. Blast 'em with UV and they'll die. You could do this with nuclear radiation or x-rays too, but that seems more dangerous and less efficient because much of the radiation will just pass through (while UV does not penetrate very deep into materials and so it sanitizes faster).

You needed those who could march 25 miles per day, and flat footed recruits, it was thought at the time, wouldn't be able to handle that.

 - If a balloon is rubber, and rubber is an insulator then how come rubbing a balloon on your head creates electricity?

Because rubber is an insulator. If you rub a piece of metal on your head (gently of course) any charge it contacts flows through the metal and into your hand. No electricity remains in your hair. Rubbing your hairs against each other produces static electricity, this is also how clouds make lightning. Since the rubber is an insulator, the charge can't stay there, and it has to go back into your hair.

 Why do humans use a high pitched voice when they think something is cute?

Babies don't speak any language so they have no way of knowing when you're talking to them or not. Knowing whether or not an adult is talking to them is critical for a baby to learn language. Speaking in an artificially high voice is a way to tell the baby "pay attention to me now, I'm saying words to you and using body language to help you figure out what I'm talking about." Conversely, babies know to ignore you when you speak in a normal voice. This way they don't learn incorrect word associations because you were talking about one thing but pointing at another. This is also why you feel compelled to repeat simple words while gesturing over and over again when using baby speak - IE, saying "thats your hand" "that's my head" "that's the door" ect... In other words, humans have an alternate language set that they use to program normal language into babies - "baby speak." Babies, on the other hand, are hardwired to pay attention to baby speak and ignore normal language. Humans use baby speak when talking to cute animals because cute animals have many of the same physical identifiers as babies (IE, they have big eyes, make high pitched noises, act clumsy and stupid, ect...). Those physical identifiers trigger you to try to program language into cute animals and so you use baby speak when talking to them. In essence, humans use baby speak when talking to cute animals because a pattern recognition error in your brain causes you to identify them as babies, causing you to enter a state in which you feel compelled to teach them language.

 When people have medical procedures that end with devices drilled into their body (like halos and insulin pumps) how is that not agonizing 24/7?

Your body has an incredible ability to get used to things with constant contact and pressure. It is why you can have a cut or wound that only really hurts when you're cleaning it, can sometimes find objects sticking to or in your skin without noticing, and (most relevantly) exist with implanted objects in your body. Eventually, assuming the implant isn't rejected, the inflammation and feeling of the object being in any way unusual subsides for the most part, with only fleeting or minor reminders.

 How in the world do gps applications (like google maps) have all the street names?

Basically yeah, someone input all the street names and locations. Although, the GPS companies and google maps will have it mostly automated, but most countries have large government departments dedicated to mapping out the streets, land sections, assigning postal and residential addresses etc They then commonly sell that information to other government departments to use, to private companies such as google, garmin, whoever needs mapping. Mapping and software for it is a huge industry worldwide employment hundreds of thousands of people. Just the license on the mapping software my company uses, and the infrastructure for it costs a few hundred thousand dollars per year, not counting support costs and wages.

 Why we need measures when doing integration (Real Analysis/MeasureTheory)?

Suppose you want to integrate a function that only takes the values 0 and 1. The integral should be the ``size" of the set where it has value 1. Assigning sizes to sets is exactly what measures do. All the complicated stuff has to do with making sure the set of sets which you can measure is large enough to permit strong convergence theorems while still behaving sanely.

 What is a non-newtonian fluid?

The non Newtonian part refers to the liquid not following Newtons law of viscosity for liquids. This has to do with stress and strain and shear when applied to the liquid. What this means is what when a force is applied to a non Newtonian liquid it will react differently than a 'normal' liquid. So if set on a speaker the liquid will bounce and form weird shapes, not completely a liquid or acting as a whole body. If you apply a force quickly such as hit a non Newtonian fluid it may resist this. Other fun things can also happen. Here is a more comprehensive article about them. [Sciencelearn link] ( URL_0 )

 why does expelling mass from a spaceship causes it to accelerate in the opposite direction?

It's basically Newton's 3rd Law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For mass to be accelerating backward from the spaceship, there has to be a force acting on it in that direction. Therefore, the mass exerts an equal and opposite force on the spaceship, accelerating it forward. If you take the spaceship + mass system as a whole, you can also think of it in terms of conservation of momentum. There are no external forces, so if the mass is moving backwards, the spaceship has to move forward to keep the total momentum the same.

Picture a normal light being a wide spray nozzle on a spray bottle, and a laser being where you turn it so it's a tiny, powerful stream.

Short answer: The same as your black screen TV, just with transparent material instead of the black material. Less short: OLED displays have [a bit of space between the diodes]( URL_0 ) that make up the pixelsand while they need some of it for the circuits, there's still room there that can be made into glass. So if you were in person it would look shaded, but under heavy magnification you could see all of the black dots of the inert diodes. This is just the beginning. It's already possible to make flexible screens, and to make screens that don't light up. Imagine animated clothing. Imagine buying TV screens by the foot like fabric.

 What caused the great depression of 1929? How did it happen?

Overvaluation of stocks combined with a lack of government controls on trading was a large part of the stock market crash. So a person could start a business, sell stock, then use unscrupulous methods to inflate the stock price and sell it. For instance, you could put out false information about how well the business was doing to make it appear more attractive. Or any number of other shady schemes. Remember that the Securities and Exchange Commission wasn't founded until 1934, 5 years after the crash. Also there was a steady increase of federal reserve rates prior to the crash, leading to a decreased ability of banks to borrow funds, and then in turn lend cash to their borrowers. But again, the major cause for the crash was this massive over-speculation. What starts off as a few stocks plummeting was like a snowball rolling downhill. Stocks were panic sold, and shares became near worthless. Anyhow, following the crash, banks started failing because people rushed to pull out their money. Why? No FDIC back then- if the bank failed, your deposits in said bank went poof. The FDIC wasn't founded until 1933. Banks crashing = no funding for businesses = decreased production since they can not borrow to make improvements/keep things running. People hoarded their cash instead of depositing it, so surviving banks had less to lend out. The US then made several missteps- The Hawley Smoot Tariff act being the largest. Congress set large tariffs on foreign goods trying to prop up domestic purchasing. Tariffs usually cause foreign backlash, which is what happened here- US exports severely decreased as other countries put large tariffs on US products in retaliation. But there were other factors that people forget like the Dust Bowl. Improper farming techniques owing to a lack of understanding of proper fertilization led to depleted soils that were thinned out to the point of being, well, dust. The soil was shit for farming, and would easily blow in the wind. Can't grow crops, soil is flying about in large dust storms... It was ugly.

 Why are doctors handwriting so bad?

As a child of two doctors, I believe I have the answer. Day after day, doctors sign things. Their signature is need for almost every test, prescription and thing they do. Their signature, therefore, becomes very automatic, quick and unreadable. Most people don't read what they write anyway, they just need a symbol for their identity basically. This means that their handwriting is extremely "doodely", not really ment for anyone to read. Edit: they also scribble alot of notes that only they themselves read.

 Why is it harder to ride a scooter with only one hand than a bicycle?

Scooters are more inherently unstable than bicycles. The wheels are smaller and there's a lot more weight higher up. That makes them a lot more 'wobbly'. Anyone who has ridden a motorcycle then rides a scooter will tell you, they're -way- less stable.

 Why are farmers throwing away crops and milk they can’t sell when they could be giving it to the less fortunate or food banks?

Because farming is already a low profit job that has to be subsidised by the government. The farmers have to spend their own money to load up trucks with unwanted food and take it to food banks, and this can be sufficiently expensive that if the farmer does it, they don't make enough profit to pay their employees and feed their family. Plus, most farmed goods are perishable. A huge farm-load of unwanted produce is more of a liability for the foodbank than it is a benefit. Most of it will go off before they can use it, and they have to spend countless man-hours sorting it all.

Its a genetic difference. Theyre both part of the same family, but they have slight differences in how the DNA sequences are made up, and how many there are. They are essentially the same thing. But rearrange a few strands of genetic material and you change the texture, the shape and color, etc.

 On URL_0 , why does it seem like a human player with an ELO rating of 1200 is much better than a computer with an ELO rating of 1200?

I've not used URL_0 anytime recently, so not totally sure what you're referring to, but 3 ideas come to mind Are you able to see the number of games played? The bots might just be playing a larger number of games, with many of those being much weaker opponents, where the human is spending their more limited time on better matched opponents Computers are going to be good at playing against some play styles and weak against other play styles, perhaps you're playing less systematicly or are more creative about how you play. I'd be curious if everyone would feel similar to you about those ratings Are these bots or a computer trying to simulate that rating? If trying to simulate it (if not bots), again might just be weakened to your play style in the attempt to simulate it. The rating ends up increasing in value over time I believe, so maybe the simulation was programmed for a ELO of 1200 say 10 years ago, and hasn't been updated to the modern level of the game. Even then it's artificially "weakened" for that, which I can't imagine would be an exact science ever.

 - how do good open world games make us just accept the unrealistic scale of their world?

It's because they cut down on repetition. In the real world you might have 2 miles of identical residential streets in one housing area, in the game it's just two streets. So you still get the feeling of neighbourhoods, but they're all tiny versions of the real ones.

 what does it mean when a company switches from LTD to INC?

An INC is an incorporated business. As such the corporation becomes its own legal entity separate and distinct from the individual owners. In a LTD or Limited Company the owners are more closely tied to the business and have more liability in the business. The entity type is typically changed so that it is easier to transfer ownership from an individual or group to another.

 How do some people with Dissociative Identity Disorder exhibit abilities while in some personas that there real self can't do?

As for how, the general consensus is that he learned at least some of the language somewhere, and that it took off from there. There are multiple cases dealing with brain injuries that deal with complete changes in personality and sometimes complete changes in language, so an alter ( alternative personality) knowing a different language isn't completely impossible. How Regan knew Serbian while Billy didn't? It's the same as why you might know English better than someone else. Regan is technically a completely different person. So he may think and speak in Serbian as his first language and English had secondary. You have to understand that the question isn't really why Billy can speak Serbian, it's where did Regan learn Serbian from. It wouldn't have to be a lot, just enough for Billy's brain to learn more. Example: You know the French word for dog and door. You see a dog walk through a doorway. Someone says in French "the dog walked through the door", you can figure out which word means "walked". Now you know the French word for "walked". The brain is capable of amazing things. Absorbing a language isn't that hard for a brain wired to do so. That's why there are some people who can learn and speak in multiple languages easily, while someone else under the same circumstances, with the same opportunities, may not be able to learn a second language to save their life. Once the Regan personality fully developed he probably just went and interacted with Serbian people and media, which expanded his vocabulary. As to how he can be stronger while still only possessing the qualities of Billy's body, that deals with Regan's mindset. Have you ever seen people psych themselves up before lifting a heavy weight? Or someone else is yelling at them to "get mad at it"? People tend to exert more force when they're angry, even if you discount adrenaline as a factor. People tend to be stronger than they know, but without proper motivation or the proper mind set, they don't exert their full capability. With Regan being the angriest personality (he was referred to as the "keeper of hate") he would be more likely to put more effort behind something than Billy would. Therefore he'd be utilizing more of their body's capability (basically putting more "umph" into it) than Billy would. In other cases, it comes down to the simple fact that the brain is the epicenter of DPD, and the brain tells everything else what to do. It could simply be that Billy's brain is convincing his personality that he's weak. He goes to pick up something, and he can't because his brain tells his muscles that they can't handle the weight, while it tells Regan's personality that they can. When dealing with the traits of different personalities, outside of obvious answers, you start getting into unsolved neuroscience. Unlocking the brains full potential. If someone could figure out and reproduce how Regan learned Serbian without Billy really trying, they could make a whole lot of money selling that ability to people. There are cases of a personality having a disease that the others didn't. Why? Because no matter what condition your liver/kidneys/lungs/whatever are in, if your brain convinces them that they're not working, then they'll stop working. EDIT: more information

 Why are most of the herbivores mammals like elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffe, etc. so big in size? Even in the jurassic era the largest dinosaur was a herbivore.

It's a matter of resources, and how to obtain them. There is a lot of plant matter, which is relatively easy to renew; if an animal is adapted to grazing, the resources are plentiful, and once they get past a certain size, there is basically no carnivore that will prey on them (though their babies may be fair game for predators). For carnivores, it's a different story: being too large would be detrimental to agility and it may make it impossible to catch prey. There is also less to eat, according to the biological food pyramid, as carnivores are secondary or tertiary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.

 How/why does the combination of Black, Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan be able to reproduce almost all colors in printed materials?

Your eyes only have three different types of cells that can detect color (assuming you aren't color-blind). One that responds best to blue light, one that responds best to green light, and one that responds best to red light. Your idea of color is based on how much each of these three cells responds to the light bouncing off an object. Because you only detect those three colors, your eyes can't tell the difference between something giving off yellow light and something giving off a mix of red and green light- the cells in your eyes will react the same in both cases. So with just three colors of light, you can trigger the cells in your eyes to react the same way they would with any visible color. So, if your eyes see red, blue, and green, where do cyan, yellow, and magenta come from? It's because ink absorbs color rather than giving it off. The cyan ink absorbs all the reds (so only the green and blue cones get triggered from the reflected light), the yellow ink absorbs all the blues, and the magenta ink absorbs all the greens. So this particular set of colors makes it simpler to figure out how much light of each color will get reflected back to your eyes and make the colors that you see.

 Why does the vacuum of space have a temperature at all? What is it that has the temperature?

It’s the temperature that a perfect black body will heat up to if you left it in that spot. It has a temperature because light can heat up objects, but objects also emit light as they heat up. An area of space in our solar system will be receiving a certain amount of light from the sun, which will cause an object to heat up until it is hot enough that its own radiation balances with that its receiving from the sun. That temperature can be thought of as the temperature of that area of space.

 Why does someone that you love smiling at you have a greater effect than a stranger smiling at you?

Its Pavlovs experiment. He rang a bell every time he fed his dog. Dog started drooling even when he rang a bell but there was no food. You know you are loved when your girl smiles at you and all those previous positive experiences come flooding in because your brain knows you will have positive experiences when you get a smile. It a stranger smiles you know it's just a smile but has no specific positive experiences with that stranger in the past. So your brain is like yeah ok, it's just a smile, I'm not getting anything from that.

 How can completing captchas help Google train data models, when they have to know what the solutions to the captchas are in the first place?

They don't know. In every captcha there are multiple responses to be provided and they only know some of them. If the one's they're sure about are all correct then they will let you through with whatever answer you selected for what remains. They might give the same tests to multiple people to make sure the answers are consistent, but they don't know what the answers are 100% of the time. It's possible they only give the unknowns from time to time in order to keep the accuracy of the anti-bot test high. I don't know the specifics. Just keep in mind that you are providing many answers and that any one of them could be unknown to google itself.

 Why does removing a circle of bark on a tree (Girdling) kill it?

The inner wood on a tree is generally dead wood that does not transport water and nutrients for the tree. Instead it is the outermost layers and the bark (to some extent) that feeds the tree from its roots. If you take off those outside layers then everything above the area of removed bark and outer wood will die due to lack of nutrients.

 How are we sure that our estimates of half-life decay are even somewhat accurate?

We know and understand how radioactive decay works. We can graph it and the graph always looks the same. The time scale might change depending on the element but the actual decay graph ALWAYS looks like the same curve. So the curve is the key. We can take 2 measurements with a known time interval. look at the decay between those 2 and plot it on a graph. We can then overlay the standard decay curve, adjusting the time scale larger or smaller until both points line up on the curve. Once both points line up on the known decay curve, we know the time scale and can date the object.

 Why does hitting your "funny bone"trigger pain and numbness in your entire arm and hand?

The nerve that leads to your forearm, ring and pinky fingers (ulnar nerve, otherwise called the funnybone) runs on the outwise edge of your elbow joint, meaning it is partially exposed and can be stimulated with pressure. Normally a nerve knows where it's been stimulated because just the tips of the branches are touched (tips of the fingers and skin) but when you hit the entire nerve where it's all bundled at its thickest, it interprets that as all the tips have been stimulated at once. It's like having thousands of small switches at the end of a huge bundle of cables. If you flick each switch individually the control board (brain) knows which ones have been touched precisely. But if you were to short out all of the cables down the middle of the bundle the control board would detect that as all the switches being pressed at once. That's why it tingles all over your arm.

 Why does the flame of a candle go up?

The flame of a candle is about 1200 F. Hot air rises because it is less dense so this pulls the flame upward. Fun Fact: There have been experiments conducted on the space station testing flames in microgravity. Since there isn't really an "up" without gravity, the candle flame spreads out in all directions and eventually starves itself of oxygen. [image]( URL_0 )

The fourth leaf is the result of a mutation in the plant. I guess the luck myth simply comes from the fact that it is a rare occurrence, something that you must be "lucky" to find.
