 how does our body to know how much blood it should produce? How does it know if we lost an arm or leg?

Your kidneys have cells that can detect hypoxia and blood pressure. When your blood oxygen is too low, these cells release a protein signal called erythropoietin, which travels to your bone marrow through the blood stream and triggers stem cells to become red blood cells. If your blood pressure is too low, your kidneys release a protein called renin, which indirectly causes your veins to contract and your kidneys to secrete less water into your bladder. Both of these systems work the exact same way in a person who has an amputation and permanently lost some of their total blood volume. If their blood pressure or blood oxygen is too low, the kidneys secrete signals that compensate. Over time, this equilibrates to a 'steady state' where their blood pressure and % of red blood cells are the same as before their amputation. A lot of biological systems operate based on [feedback loops]( URL_0 ). These systems can push themselves back towards a normal output even when variables like total blood volume are rapidly disrupted.

 Why did photosynthesis confine itself to only plants and single (or few) cell organisms like algae and not spread out in larger animals as an energy source?

The better question is, how **would** it spread? Photosynthesis in plants is from cellular organs (organelles) which look a lot like bacterial cells living inside the plant cells. Human cells use ones like this for some of our energy needs (mitochondria which directly “burn” sugar for useful energy). But it took quite the coincidence/lucky situation for these beneficial features to be adopted into cells from outside, and it’s only happened a couple of times in evolutionary history. Could it happen again? Maybe. Will it? Maybe not, or maybe not for a long time. Also, animals use more energy for their size and have a smaller surface area exposed to the sun/air in comparison to the energy they need. Photosynthesis would not be able to totally meet their energy needs so... if it has *any* negative effects, those might outweigh the not-so-great benefits.

 Nature favors chaos, but elements favor being stable why is this?

You’ve probably heard that entropy always increases, and people usually describe entropy as chaos. I don’t think this is always the best description of entropy, and anecdotally I think a lot of physicists and science communicators agree that it’s a poor analogy. Entropy is a measurement of the number of states in a system, which includes energy states. In more ELI5 terms, energy has a tendency to spread everywhere, and make everything more uniform rather than bunched up in one location. For example, many chemical reactions cause heat. This is because when a chemical goes from a high energy reactant to a low energy product, the old excess energy from the chemical bonds in the reactant goes into heating up the system. The energy in this heat spreads to the container, and eventually spreads into the environment. Instead of all that energy being in one place (molecular bonds) it is able to go everywhere. Stable elements are like these chemical bonds. In fusion, the deuterium and tritium atoms have a lot of energy (bunched up, low entropy) , and they can turn into helium and neutrons, which have lower energy. The excess energy from the fusion reaction then spreads out into the environment, increasing entropy.

 If we were shrunk down to the size of a bug, would dropping something like a feather be loud? Would we also have the same durability as a big if we were dropped from a relatively extreme height?

That kind of question cant really be properly answered, because it depends a lot on how all your biological systems work. Thing is, if youd shrink a human body down it'd just stop working. Most systems cant just be scaled like that. E.g. the friction and capillary forces in the tiny arteries would be way too strong for the heart, and blood circulation would stop. If we only look at the hearing apparatus and ignore the rest - well , your ears wouldnt work anyway. Hearing depends on resonance frequencies - essentially to parts of your ear being very hood at transmitting certain frequencies - and those change drastically with size. You either would only be able to hear extremely high sound, or there would be some mismatch and you wouldnt hear anything at all. The movement of the bones in your ear - which is toughly what determines loudness - would be smaller in any case. As for durability against dropping - yes that would be pretty good, as weight scales with volume (~size^3) and mechanical strength with the area (~size^2).

 When a guy masturbates, why is it if he hasn't done it for a while that he produces more semen?

So simple break down, sperm, just like other types of cells are constantly dying and being replaced. I could get super technical here, but when sperm cells are stored in the testicles, and in essence once enough of that storage is full, then the body will release it, just like any other cells. Everyone laughs at the term "wet dream", but that is in fact exactly what happens, the body releases the semen. In the medical field we call it Nocturnal Emmisions, and its literally just semen being released. Men usually release semen through regular sexual contact or masturbation. If it has been a while since you last ejaculated, then you are just simply releasing more semen because you have some stored up. If you go a long period of time without masturbating your body will still give you nocturnal emmisions, but in small amounts that you most likely would not have noticed. To the opposite men can ejaculate several times a day, however not back to back to back because the testicles won't have enough semen stored to continue sending out. So summary, you are producing the same amount of semen all of the time, you will only really notice a change in output if it has been a while and then all of a sudden a larger than usual amount comes out. I can explain this in more detail if you would like. Source: I am both a Man, and a Medical Doctor.

 If you go small enough, even a line drawn on a paper has depth. Does true 2d actually exist on our world?

If we're arguing semantics then from a pure math perspective 2D doesn't technically exist. However it starts to reach a point where something gets so flat or narrow that it might as well be considered 2D for all intents and purposes. Graphene is a common example of this - a material which is one atom thick and is about as flat as it's possible to get in the real world.

 Is pouring stuff down the drain environmentally more wasteful than putting it in the trash?

It is really important to not pour stuff stuff down the drain. Oil and fat will block the drains. They can create "fatbergs" which can be hundreds of meters long, cost huge amounts of money to clean up and destroy infrastructure. Paint, thinners and other chemicals can kill fish, aquatic animals and insects. Chemicals can cause algae blooms, they can pollute the surface drinking water supply and underground aquifers. Flushing face wipes, female sanitary products, and condoms can block the sewage pipes and bind the fat into the "fatbergs" and damage sewage water treatment plants.

 Since the police can't hold someone for too long without charging them, can they keep calling the person back to the station?

The holding period is the time the state has to gather and show evidence of probable cause to move forward with a charge or an indictment. This time limit stems from the Due Process Clause of the Constitution which limits the state (or federal) government’s ability to take away an individual’s rights in the course of conducting its legal proceedings. Holding a person by calling them back in without cause would violate their rights; the only reason to call someone back in would be upon discovery of new evidence (of a substantial nature). Can you imagine a world where police and prosecutors don’t have enough evidence to bring a charge but get to call people back in endlessly? Time wasted, potential false confessions, and no more protections for individuals. Also, most likely, anyone who was being continuously questioned would ask for a lawyer, which is another Constitutional right. I’m sure there are instances where a person is clearly guilty of a horrible crime but the state can’t produce the evidence to charge him/her and that sucks but the alternative of having no limit on state and police power is much worse and, realistically, for most crimes, where the suspect in holding is guilty, the state will be able to produce the evidence to bring the charge.

 Why do some online services (banks etc.) require passwords of a specific length. For example my online banking requires a password that is exactly 6 characters. This seems less secure than allowing any length. Why do they do this?

There is no explanation other than an antiquated system they can't be bothered to upgrade. I cannot stress enough just how pathetically weak a 6 character limit password is. Every bit used in a password causes a doubling of the number of possible combinations. So 1 bit is 2^1 = 2, because you can have a value of 0 or 1, but two bits is 2^2 = 4 because you can have 00, 01, 10, and 11. 6 characters, assuming 8 bits per character, that's 2^6*8 bits = 2^48 bits that's 281,474,976,710,656 possible passwords. But not quite... Can we figure out a way to get the number of possible passwords down? Yes we can. Because you speak English, I presume the bank is in the US or another English speaking nation, can we speculate the majority of the users are English speaking as well? We can then reasonably assume UTF-8 or ASCII encoding - these are standards in computing that dictate which combination of binary bits represent which character. For example, in both, the character for 'a' is represented in binary as 1100001, but 'A' is 1000001. ASCII only uses 7 bits, so that's 2^6*7 bits = 2^42 bits = 8,796,093,022,208. Holy shit we got that down in a hurry. But it gets even worse. Not all 7 bits are visible, printable characters; indeed, a fair few characters are used for text terminals to manipulate the cursor position or cause an audible beep, things you'll never type into a keyboard, let alone use in your password. There's only 94 characters on your English keyboard you can type into a password field. There are binary patterns in 7 bits you'll never use, 33 of them, actually. So that's a mere 94^6 = 689,869,781,056 possible password combinations. We can get that down even further if we start making other reasonable assumptions about password complexity. For example, do you really expect people to use any other punctuation mark than a period? You mean you think people are going to *press shift* and reach for the top row or obscure marks?!? If we do that, then we can assume 64^6 = 68,719,476,736 password combinations, for letters - capital and lower, numbers, period, and space. That'll get you the lions share of user passwords. That's an absolutely pathetic number. Even assuming the limited number of characters, if your password was 64^33 characters long, you'd get 401,734,511,064,747,568,885,490,523,085,290,650,630,550,748,445,698,208,825,344 possible passwords!!!!! And how hard is it to write a password that long? Well, how about "She sells sea shells by the sea shore."? That's 38 right there, and it's easy to remember. --- Now, as u/tyler1128 said, passwords are stored and communicated in "hash" form - this is where you map an arbitrary input into a finite space. For example, taking the remainder of division by 7. Take any number you want, any size, divide by seven and take the remainder. No matter what number you pick, it will always be between 0-6, a finite range. Another property to observe is that there's no going back - given the numbers 0-6, I've no idea what number you picked to start with. Also notice lots of number inputs - your password, make the same hash output. Remainder 7 makes for a lousy security hash. You want a hash algorithm that is hard to find duplicates, because that's a security concern - with a finite output, there are an infinite number of inputs that can produce the same value. You want to make it too computationally expensive to hack a password by finding collisions. This is why MD5 was retired in the late 90s as a security hash - which it was never meant to be anyway; it got easier to find collisions than it did to find the original password. When you login, you generate a hash from your plain password and send it over, that is compared to the hash they have on file. No one knows what your original password is, no one knows how to reproduce it without computing every possible combination until they find a collision (possibly the original). So what hackers do is they use an exploit to break into a system, a topic for another time, and once they gain administrator privileges, they'll copy the password hash file. This is a table of usernames to hashes. They'll have already generated a gigantic - terabytes, exabytes - table of hash keys to plain text passwords. This is called a rainbow table, and it can take months to generate, and so large it's distributed across the internet. The hashes from the password file are the inputs, and the plain text is the output. Now they have a map of username - > hash - > plain text password. Now, until someone at URL_0 notices, they can use legitimate users for illegitimate means, whatever that may be.

 How do elderly people gain money? Is retirement money and savings the same?

Savings is a very broad term. Retirement savings is a more narrow thing, with special tax incentives to encourage retirement savings. Retired people often have income from pensions and Social Security, as well as interest from their savings.

You don't need both as far as I'm aware; either one is fine. They're required because they implement certain copy protection / DRM features in hardware. Netflix sends encrypted 4K streams that require these features for decryption and display. If your smart-TV can stream Netflix at 4K it also implements these features using its own hardware.

 How does a Thermoelectric Generator work?

What is really being asked is how the thermoelectric effect works, so I'll try and explain that. Imagine you had a metal wire that has either end held at a different temperature. The electrons in the metal act similar to a gas, where the electrons at the hotter end are moving faster and spreading out more. This causes a higher concentration of electrons at the cold end, which causes a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire. Note that different materials will generate different voltages, even under identical thermal conditions. A thermocouple or thermoelectric generator uses two dissimilar materials, with the hot ends attached together. This guarantees that there is a voltage difference between the two cold ends, which can either be used in power production or as a measurement signal.

 How can companies say their energy saving light bulbs will last 20 years?

LED's have been around since the 1960's. they've been used in all kinds of industrial and commercial applications as instrument signal lights. using LED's as lighting instead of signaling has been around for a decade already in industrial and commercial. it's only recently in past few years that it's reached consumer. as for testing, it's not needed to leave them on for 20 years. you run thru an accelerated test for 30 days, then project the component wear results. if the projected time of failure is beyond 20 something years, that's good enough to say it'll be guaranteed for 20 years.

 If wealthy people can avoid paying taxes through loopholes in tax codes or laws, how would taxing people who make over 400k be different from whatever the cutoff is now?

It's not cost effective to have a team of accountants and tax pros for most people. It makes financial sense for corporations and the people at the top, but it's not worth the trouble for the vast majority of people making $400k to the low seven figures. Some of them will avoid the taxes, but many more will just pay it. This also comes with the assumption that some loopholes and deductions will also be removed to prevent people from avoiding large amounts of taxes in the first place.

 Why do diesel engines seem to outlast gasoline engines? Shouldn't they be built with the same stress safety factors built in and fail at around the same rate?

Gasoline engines usually operate at 25-50% higher RPM and have longer piston strokes further increasing piston speed which causes increased wear on pistons and cylinders as well as stress on the connecting rods. Both rods and pistons also have to be lighter to accommodate the higher speed. Diesel engines on the other hand have to be built stronger to allow higher compression ratios that can auto-ignite the fuel. That being said I doubt you will see very significant differences in lifespans of modern engines that are properly maintained. Maintenance is probably the biggest factor that increases lifespan of commercial vehicles that have to regularly undergo it while passenger vehicles don't necessarily do so. And this is probably where the greater robustness of diesel engines might allow them to better cope with lousy maintenance.

 Why don’t soldiers wear full-body bulletproof suits?

On top of being very heavy as mentioned by u/alexefi, current body armor is either ceramic or kevlar (for helmets, crotch guards, joints, etc). Once the ceramics have been hit, the vest becomes mostly useless very rapidly. Kevlar doesn't usually have that problem, but it can't stop anything better than a standard 9mm/.22lr with any real success. If full body armor were a thing, you'd be running around in a combat situation with several hundred pounds of extra gear that became useless after the first time you were hit with a .762 (the AK47, which is the most common rifle in the world, is .762) would just be a terrible waste of resources and weight. Soldiers need to minimize their carry weight, especially in combat. The gear they wear already weighs around 80 pounds, adding to that would reduce combat efficiency.

 How do mirror neurons work? How do they know to mirror other people?

I believe a mirror neuron (how we send signals in our body) fires when a person watches someone perform an activity without actually performing the activity themselves. What I believe happens is that the neuron increases myelination (the fatty coating around a neuron) so that when the observer goes to perform the task themselves they can try to coordinate similar movements... BUT! I believe that the individual would have to perform the task once themselves so that they can myelinate (fatty coating) an existing neural pathway... Basically saying if they perform the task then by watching others it helps to slightly strengthen their ability. But obviously actually engaging in the task will have larger benefits. & #x200B; Source: Me, a biology teacher/Kin grad, not an academic resource :)

Presidents have an unimaginably wide range of responsibilities.

To answer your question, Kushner has as much power as President Trump delegates to him.

 I'm allergic to penicillin/amoxicillin. Could there be a point where giving it to me anyways and dealing with the symptoms is a better option than not?

Possibly. A common headache in medicine is seeing "penicillin allergy" on a chart. Research has found that only a small fraction of people who say they're allergic actually are. While we have lots of antibiotics, there are times when a penicillin or related antibiotic is crucial. Drugs with the beta-lactam structure (including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems) are just plain better at killing bacteria than other types. For run-of-the-mill infections, an antibiotic that simply stops bacteria from growing is fine. If you're critically ill from a bacterial infection, you need a drug that kills. (Historically, it's been said that ten percent of people with penicillin allergy will also react to its beta-lactam cousins, but that's likely an exaggeration.) Mostly, you can get by with alternatives to penicillin. For syphilis in pregnancy, you carefully desensitize the mother with increasing doses. In general, if you really have to give a drug someone is allergic to, you can pretreat them with steroids and antihistamines to blunt the effect.

It peels b/c it dies. Only the top layer peels, as the new skin grows from below it. You do shed small bits of skin all the time, but after sunburn large chunks come off. please use sunblock, or wear a hat, collar and long sleeves. Or stay in the shade during mid-day. Skin cancer is not fun, and you will likely live long enough to get it.

 Why is the golden ratio common to so many things of different nature?

Say you have a seed. Deep down in the genetic code of the seed is the simple genetic code that says "have these cells build more of themselves." If you let all those cells grow, the ratio between old cells and new cells will usually be the golden ratio. The golden ratio is so common in nature because it is the product of such a simple idea: the ratio between the first thing and the second thing is the same as the ratio between both those things and a third thing. It's what you always get when you tell cells or leaves or branches or scales to just "grow more of yourself."

There were cell towers, there were just fewer of them and they weren't available in as many geographic areas.

A friend of mine operates these games they pay out 30-50% depending on how they are adjusted. the main mode of adjustment is the side holes where money falls into and goes into the bottom of the machine (this is the oeprators profit) can be opened and closed to adjust the payout, if the hole is mostly closed they will pay out close to 50% of what they take in, if itss open they pay out around 30% there isnt much trick to how you put in the quaters are far as i know. also the angle of the lip will adjust the pay out as well.

 Why can't we run out of certain types of energy, like wind and geothermal?

> When we harness wind power, for example, aren't we taking energy out of the system? Sure, but the same happens when you plant a tree or build a house. Every time the wind hits an obstacle, it takes energy out of that system. The thing is that there's *a lot* of energy in the wind, and it is constantly renewed by temperature fluctuations. Wind is created whenever there are temperature differences between areas, as the air expands in the warmer area, and pushes into the colder areas. And the sun makes sure that this is constantly happening. So as long as the sun exists, wind power is constantly renewed. > If we had enough wind farms running for long enough, would wind on Earth come to a halt? ~~~The wind isn't what's causing the Earth to spin.~~~ Sorry, I misread that one. As I said above, any obstacle the wind hits takes a tiny bit of energy out of the wind, so sure, kind of, if the entire atmosphere was covered in windmills (not just ones standing on the ground and reaching perhaps 100m up into the air, but covering the *entire* atmosphere, all ~100km up), then yes, that would reduce the wind to almost nothing. (But only *almost*, because the sun is still there, and it would still heat up air and create new wind. That wind would just again dissipate quickly as it constantly bounces into windmill after windmill) But for that to happen, it's not enough to just cover the surface in windmills, because even if we did that, there'd still be plenty of wind above them, and that would also drive wind downwards into the windmills. > Does the same thing apply for geothermal power? If we keep pulling heat from the Earth and turning it into electricity, won't we eventually freeze the core? Heat is leaking out from the ground no matter what we do. Geothermal power just makes *use* of this while it's happening. It doesn't pull *more* heat out. It's like if you stand next to an oven while it's on. That warms you up, but you're not pulling heat out of the oven. You're just making use of the waste heat that leaks out regardless of whether or not you're standing there. Walking away doesn't eliminate the waste heat. (ok, as a commenter pointed out, we technically do drain a teensy bit of power from the outermost layer of the Earth. But we only drill a few hundred meters down and so we're still only touching the surface of the Earth. In the oven analogy, you can think of that as putting a wet cloth on the oven door. Yes, it'll cool down the oven door ever so slightly, which will drain a liiiiiittle bit of heat from the oven, but the effect is minuscule) But yes, eventually, in a few billion years, the Earth's core will cool down. But that will happen regardless of whether we use geothermal power. That heat is primarily generated by the decay of radioactive elements, and one day, those will have decayed so much that very little heat is produced. So yes, they do have vast reserves of energy, far more than we'll ever be able to use, but they're also constantly being replenished (although in the case of wind, it'll only be replenished as long as we have the sun as a source of heat, and in the case of geothermal, only as long as there's enough radioactive material in the center of the Earth to release energy as radiation. But we should be good for a few billion years, and crucially, neither process is sped up by us trying to harness the energy. **Edit:** Updated with a few caveats. :)

Curling of any material is due to different parts expanding & shrinking at different rates. With cooking meat, the outer edges harden 1st & therefore change size much less than the inner portions. This causes curling due to bacon being fairly thin.

 Why are PC games released late?

Sometimes this is because the studio developing the game has singed an exclusivity agreement with that console's marketing department. Often times these agreements have some sort of expiration date after which they can release the game on other systems. There are pretty much never such agreements for a PC game, which means that either the game will drop on all platforms at once, or it will drop on just one platform, then wait many months before it goes to others if at all. On the other side of the coin I actually play a game where the PC updates are released as soon as they're done, but then the update for consoles has to go through the QA process for those console's stores, so the console update can be weeks to months behind the PC update.

 How does Aldi sell solid products for so cheap?

The whole operation is set up to keep costs low. 1. Big barcodes for faster scanning, cashiers can serve more customers. 2. Low staffing. Store personnel is kept to a minimum reducing labor costs. They don't have to divert someone from other jobs to round the carts back up because customers have to use a coin to unlock them. 3. Generic products with minimal marketing sold at a lower profit margin 4. LED lighting on the cold cases and freezers uses less power than incandescent or fluorescent and produces less heat for the coolers to have to get rid of. There are probably more, those are just the ones I know of from having shopped there.

 Why do embers in a fire burn such a bright orange?

The color of a fire (or really anything hot) is related to how hot it is. The colors move from red to orange to yellow to white. A regular yellow flame is mostly caused by soot in the flame glowing yellow. In a campfire heat causes parts of the wood to vaporize as it burns. As a gas this mixes with air more readily and burns a hotter yellow. Embers are what's left over after the gas is burned off. Since the embers are solid they burn slower and less hot and give off an orange/red color. Also since you can't see through the solid ember, and the ember has sharp edges compared to a flame which fades at the edges the color is a lot more apparent. It's neat.

 What is a holomorphic function and what makes it holomorphic?

I’m not really sure what you are asking here. The definition is pretty straightforward: a holomorphic function is any complex function which is differentiable everywhere on its domain. That’s all there is to it. If you’re getting stuck on any particular part of the definition(or if anyone reading this is), let me know and I’m happy to go through it, but I can’t really explain more without knowing what is tripping you up.

 You can feel it, but what is the science behind the actual “build up” portion of stress? What builds up and where does it go.

Under stress, your body releases chemicals. Most notably cortisol. The evolutionary purpose of this is the prepare the body to either fight, or run for your life. Either way, that means these chemicals allow your body to prioritize for things like moving your legs to run, and slows down things not immediately needed in an emergency situation--like digestion (Which is why constipation is commonly a sign of constant stress). In the modern era, you get stressed and neither fight nor flight. Plus these stresses happen almost every day. And the body doesn't know the difference between a person cutting you off on the highway, or a tiger in the distance coming toward you. The response is the same. So then these chemicals build up in the system. They were designed to be temporary solutions to dire problems, not constant drips messing with your body every single day. That is why it's so important to get exercise, good sleep, and have a daily focus on chilling out properly.

 Why does packaging tape adhere so well to cardboard but terribly to almost everything else?

Because it's developed specifically to bond well with the fibers of the cardboard. If you try to stick another type of tape, say duct tape to a cardboard box it wont stick very well because it doesn't entangle the box fibers very well. Because packaging tape essentially relies on those fibers to form a good bond, it doesn't bond well to surfaces that can't provide something similar to the fibers.


Question: When testing a fluid sample of something to see if contains something specific, e.g. a blood test for a disease - how can we know 100% that this specific sample has the exact same contents as the rest of the liquid? I.e. are we 100% sure that every molecule has the same makeup?

Over time, the composition of a fluid will even out and become homogeneous. Imagine putting a drop of food dye in a glass of water. It starts out concentrated where you put it in, but after enough time, it will be evenly spread out. This process is only sped up if the liquid is mixed or otherwise disturbed (as with your blood). So unless you are testing a sample that unusually still, far removed from the source, or not very long after incident of contamination, you have a pretty good assurance that the sample is an adequate representation of the whole. And, if you aren't sure, you take multiple samples from different locations at different times. Wherever those samples agree, you have greater confidence that it is representative.

 Why does art usually face left?

It’s more common because the subjects face the light. The light in studios usually comes from the artists’ left (because it was easier for right handed people to work and see their work if their hand wasn’t casting a shadow). It outside, artists usually still kept the light to their left.

 what causes loss of memory from drinking alcohol?

The short answer? We don't know, because we're still not *exactly* sure how short-term memory becomes long-term memory. We know it happens in an area of the brain called the hippocampus, and we know it requires REM sleep to happen. Past that, we're fuzzy on the exact biological processes involved. Now, about blackouts. Blackouts are caused by the failure to convert short-term memories to long-term. We retain short-term memories for anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, depending on how important our brains consider that information. We know that alcohol doesn't completely prevent the formation of short-term memory (though it may impair it), because otherwise you'd be incapable of carrying on a normal conversation while drunk, and there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that people converse, travel, or even fuck while in a blackout. Likewise, alcohol doesn't prevent you from recalling preexisting long-term memories - you'll still recognize a cop car or your ex when you're plastered. So, the problem is that there's a disconnect between the two, an inability to "back up" your short-term memories (which as I said will disappear within a day) to long-term memories, which can be recalled weeks or years after their occurrence. I also said before that this back-up is thought to take place during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which occurs in phases throughout the night. If you disrupt or prevent that deep sleep from happening, you'll end up with patchy or fuzzy memories - that's why you start losing track of time if you stay up for a few days on end. Incidentally, alcohol (and most other depressants, like opiates or benzodiazepines, which can also cause memory loss) has a terrible effect on that REM sleep. You get fewer, shorter cycles of it after a night out drinking, even if you sleep for a full eight hours. The working theory I've heard is that alcohol's deleterious effects on sleep is al least partly responsible for why you can wake up passed out in someone's front lawn, wearing someone else's fursuit and little else, with no idea how you got there. I'm sure there are details I've skipped over, and probably some science I'm not aware of, but that's what I know.

 How does soap foams up when you rub your hands together and why is this process suppressed when your hands are oily?

Soap foams with water because soap lowers the surface tension of water. Think of surface tension as pulling on a rubber band. The harder you pull the higher the surface tension. Air trapped inside the water/soap mixture gets stuck because the surface of the mixture isn't pulling very tightly, so it is very easy to deform. If you were to increase the surface tension of the bubble, the bubble will burst. Oil has a high surface tension as well. So as it mixes in, the bubbles find it harder to form. --- Additional fun fact: soap lowering the surface tension of water is exactly why we use it to clean not only dishes, but ourselves too. I've heard someone say "soap makes water more 'wet' ". I don't know if that's a good way to say it, but the idea is that the lower surface tension means it is easier for water to get under debris and dislodge it from your skin, dishes, laundry, and anything else you're trying to rinse down. Soap does not kill bacteria on your hands, it simply helps the water wash it off and down the drain. You can buy Anti-bacterial soap, but that does not kill viruses. This is why the most recommended way to prevent contracting COVID19 is to frequently wash your hands and scrub for 20 seconds. You dislodge any foreign elements, and wash them down the drain.

 Why are complex numbers so important?

Complex numbers are the combination of regular (real) numbers and imaginary numbers. Quick primer: imaginary numbers themselves are just a place holder for something being multiplied by the square root of -1. So, instead of 5, you get 5i . By themselves, they're alright, but what they can represent makes them important. The cool thing about complex numbers is because they have both real (regular) parts and imaginary parts, they have lots of really convinient properties. For example, if you want to write an equation for a cirle, you can use lots of awkward hyberbolic trigonometry gobbeldy-gook, or you can very easily compress all of that info into a neat little expression of the form e^(i\*pi\*2). Complex numbers also allow engineers and mathematicians to more easily represent things like electricity, radio waves, digital information, and stuff that repeats (think springs or swings). TL;DR - Complex numbers make math more concise and easier to deal with.

 ground coffee is not soluble to water. What makes instant coffee be "made from real coffee beans" when it is soluble?

Ground coffee contains insoluble compounds, but these never actually reach the coffee you drink (unless your filter folds in on itself, hate it when that happens). So all the parts of a coffee bean that coffee is made of *are* soluble, and if you can isolate these from the insoluble parts - say by running water through some ground beans, and then using a vacuum to cold-boil off the water - you can get a solid that's fully soluble and contains.... *almost* all the parts of coffee beans that coffee is made of. Boiling off the water will also boil off any volatile compounds that give coffee a part of its flavour. I'm sure instant coffee companies do their best to try and replace them, but... Well, that's why instant coffee taste like instant coffee.

 Why us society setup for morning people?

For most of human history, work could really only be accomplished during daylight hours. While candles were a thing, that didn't provide much light for outside work, and even inside it was moderately limiting. So society ran during the day, when there was plenty of light to see. It has basically carried over from there. That and our circadian rhythm makes it much easier to have a normal sleep schedule when we sleep and wake with the sun.

 When you donate blood, how is it that medication that you are on does not end up affecting the blood recipient? Is it filtered out somehow?

Generally speaking donated blood is separated into fractions and filtered accordingly, or it's kept whole if it's going to be used for a whole blood product like a transfusion. In the first case there are a lot of drugs that just don't matter, assuming you're not donating a large amount. If you're donating more than 50mL of something like platelets, then there is a formula that's used to determine the waiting period while being off some medications. There are also lists of classes of drugs that are disallowed, or controlled, or otherwise have restrictions placed on types and volumes of donations. Most drugs don't exist in plasma in concentrations that really matter when you're talking about a transfusion, but there are exceptions. Drugs that can cause mutations of cells in fetuses, drugs, that can cause platelets to aggregate (come together) and form clots are also restricted. For a lot more info: URL_0

 Why can't we remember something extensively if we think about it?

The brain is like a tree and it needs pruning to function more efficiently. Its been 5 years since you have seen the show so your brain has effectively cut off the "old tv show I used to watch" branch to save energy because you aren't using that branch. When you started watching the TV show again you told you brain you needed that branch again so it re-grew.
