 How does charging a battery work?

A battery has an anode, which has excess electrons that it wants to give up. And it has a cathode, which wants more electrons than it has. If you connect the two, current will flow from the anode to the cathode. Eventually you'll reach a point where the anode has given up all the electrons it had to give, and the cathode can't take any more electrons, so now the battery can't make current anymore. This is when the battery is "dead." Rechargeable batteries can be connected to external current that is strong enough to force electrons to flow the other way - away from the cathode and back to the anode. This essentially "resets" the battery - after charging, the anode is stocked up again with excess electrons that it's ready to give to the cathode.

 Why the international tickets fares at airlines' websites are usually displayed in a currency of a city of departure and not the currency of the country of the airline?

They're not. They're almost always displayed in *your* local currency. If you're in the US, airlines everywhere show prices in US dollars. Meanwhile, a person in China can buy flights on American Airlines in renminbi, and a French person can buy using euros.

 Why do we see Sine Waves in nature so often?

Wave phenomenon appear all the time in nature but I'd disagree sinusoids in particular are showing up a lot. What distinguishes sinusoids from other waves is their mathematical convenience, being tied to a simple, linear differential equation and exponentiation with complex numbers. That mathematical convenience means we're often expressing non-sinusoidal waves as sums of sinusoids or outright approximating a non-sinusoid with a sinusoid, often via simplifying assumptions. For instance, a pendulum swing isn't actually a sine wave, it's just common practice to take the ODE governing a pendulum's motion, which has no explicit solution in elementary functions, and literally replace it with another ODE that has a sine wave solution, justifying it by saying something about a small angle approximation. To catalog the pendulum's swing as a natural occurrence of a sine wave is to not critically examine the simplifying steps we took in our analysis.

 What happens when a flying bullet hits another flying bullet?

This has actually happened. There's classic pictures of two bullets from the 1915 Gallipoli battleground with one jammed through the side of the other, and of two bullets from a Paris gunfight which are smooshed because they hit dead-on. Different effects come from the angle in which they hit, how close to the centre of each other that they hit, and the material the bullets are made from. A glancing bow will scar the bullets and change their direction. A more central contact could jam one bullet into the other if coming in from the side, or shatter a "brittle" metal bullet into pieces and create sparks in the process, or squish and flatten one that is more of a bendable soft metal like lead when you hit it head-on. So, lots of different possible results.

 how do “smart” products save on electricity bills if they are always on?

The amount that these devices consume for the purposes of waiting for a signal is very small. The idea is that the amount of energy saved by the primary utility of the device (the light bulb, or the device plugged into the smart plug) being on less because the smart circuitry turns it on and off as needed far exceeds the amount of energy that is consumed when the device is not operating but is communicating with the controller. In other words, you might spend an extra two cents in "smart controller" power to save 30 cents on power consumption.

 What's the difference in frigates, cruiser, corvette, Battleships, destroyers, and dreadnoughts?

A battleship is a large, heavily armored warship with big guns. A dreadnought is just a name for a type of battleship that was popular from 1906 until the interwar years based off the British battleship HMS Dreadnought. Battleships have been obsolete since the end of WWII. There are none in service now. The difference between the others is less clear cut. There's no single definition, and each navy calls its ships different things. Generally, corvettes are small-ish ships that don't operate on the open ocean but are mostly used for things like coastal patrol and defense. Frigates are a step up from that, being somewhat larger and better armed. They might operate on the open ocean alone. There's overlap between what you could call a frigate and a destroyer. For example, the French and Italian navies' largest surface combatants are called frigates, despite being comparable to what other navies call destroyers. There's also significant overlap between what you could consider a cruiser and a destroyer. Only 2 navies in the world operate cruisers. Traditionally, cruisers generally were larger and focused on anti-air, and destroyers were smaller and focused on anti-submarine warfare. Nowadays, the distinction is mostly moot, with modern destroyers and cruisers being similar in size, armament, and capability. Destroyers and Cruisers are generally the largest surface combatants of a navy with the ability to operate alone on the open ocean or as part of a carrier fleet, and have the ability to engage just about any kind of target with a wide variety of guns and missiles.

 Why does Easter change dates every year?

Because it follows the moon and equinox (which aren't what our calendar is based on any more). Easter Sunday is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (which was later fixed to March 21st). Since full moons can occur on different dates every year, the following Sunday can also occur on different dates every year. To further complicate matters, the Orthodox church uses a different calendar (that doesn't reflect a Pope's changes to better match the actual year length, so their Easter often falls on a different date (occasionally considerably after the Western church's Easter).

Imagine youre a kid and you have a lemonade stand, and you’re making $5 a day. Pretty great right? But you’ve gotta get the lemons, sugar, etc, you’ve gotta make ice, and spend time selling it every day. Now imagine someone offers you $500 to take over. You don’t have to work anymore, you get a lot of money up front, and you can just enjoy your money. Same kinda deal with huge corporations selling...you lose the small steady income, but you get a lot of money and a lot of freedom now.

 What are the main differences between Blues and Cool Jazz?

Jazz comes from a merging of French/European classical and chamber music, and street music with African and Caribbean roots. Blues music comes from Gospel and also African roots. The key thing with The Blues is the 12 bar turn around. It's a note progression that every person has heard but might not have known what it was. It was one of the basic blues progressions and was borrowed by rock and roll as well which was blues mixed with country and blue grass music. [Little Richards "Tutti Fruti"]( URL_0 ) is a great example of a 12 bar progression. Notice what the piano and horns are doing. They play a set of notes, go up for the next set, then back down for the next, etc. This is done in the 12 bar pattern and is very easy for other musicians to sync up with and jam to because they know all the chord changes in advance. It can start on any note but the relationship between the notes doesn't change. For instance "Blues in G minor" Jazz on the other hand is more improvisational with individual artists playing in harmony through the use of many different scales. Where as blues tends to stick with Pentatonic Blues scale with diminished fifth. To coin an analogy, Jazz is like having several artist paint a picture together where there is a common theme to the colors they choose but the individual artists can choose any color they want, as long as it compliments the other colors. Where as the blues is more like those same artists choosing instead to follow a common pattern in the painting vs being able to pick any color they want.

 what is the difference between disk capacity and density with a SSD?

Capacity is what you really want, that's how much total storage the drive provides Density is about how much storage we can fit in one flash chip. Higher density chips enable higher capacity drives in the same size, or drives with the same capacity but fewer chips Density matters in the long run, it's what has enabled us to go from 256 GB 2.5" SSDs to 2 TB 2.5" SSDs; but when you're building a machine you only care about what you can get right now and that's capacity

 Is there a specific reason as to why printers use cyan as opposed to just blue?

There are three primary color, Red, Green, and Blue. Paints work by absorbing certain colors, and reflecting the rest. If you take away all the Red, you are left with only Green and Blue. Green and Blue make Cyan. The Cyan paint is basically the paint of Not Red, it absorbs all the red light and reflects the rest. Like wise take away the Green, you get Red and Blue combined. Red and Blue make Magenta, the paint of Not Green. and Take away the Blue, you get Red and Green combined. Red and Green make Yellow, the paint of Not Blue. Mix these together and you can absorb the color's you don't want and reflecting the colors you do work.

 How can large bushfires (I think called wildfires in most of the world) have their own climate systems?

What you’re asking about is called “fire weather” and it’s an entire field unto itself that people literally spend years studying. So it’s hard to simplify. Having said that, the basics arise from multiple points: the fire consumes oxygen, which draws more air toward the fire. When the fire is big enough, that creates lots of wind towards the fire. The ash and soot can only be carried so far up, and can form a “ceiling” that other ash and soot collects under. Since it can’t go up it will build out. It eventually will form clouds that are big enough to turn into thunderstorms. When a fire starts forming storms, that draws even more wind towards the area. This is all in a delicate balance, because if the fire burns all the fuel then it will die and the fire weather will change, and sometimes the storms it forms will collect and drop rain, which will slow the fire enough to spiral down the whole situation. I know, long answer, but it’s a complicated subject that isn’t totally understood because it’s so difficult to study. (It’s also been a while since I took my wild-land fire class in college, so i do t know if o got everything right). Edit: Bonus content: [fire whirls]( URL_0 ) are the ultimate crazy fire weather. Literally a flaming tornado.

 Chemically, what's the difference between "nebulizing", "diffusing", "atomising", "aerosolizing", "aromatizing", "vaporizing", and just spraying?

Hopefully someone will give you a fuller explanation, but at least for some of these the difference is droplet size. So, for example, droplet transmission vs aerosolised virus. Droplets are generally bigger than 5 microns in size, where a micron is a millionth of a meter (a.k.a. a micrometer), or at least 0.000005m. Aerosolised particles are much smaller than this. This also means they can hang in the air for longer, and potentially travel further, than droplets. Droplets will fall to the ground pretty quickly, like within seconds. But aerosols can hang about for hours, and could end up in ventilation systems etc. So whether a virus can be carried by droplets or by aerosols can make a *huge* difference in how to handle it.

 How do the economics of a grocery store work?

Kind of a bit of both. I worked cashiering, grocery, dairy, and frozen, but not deli, produce, or meat, so I can't address those last 3. Certain items (beer, soda, chips, bread, tobacco, magazines) are brought in and stocked by the manufacturer via direct store delivery. They handle all the stuff with their products, including damaged/outdateds. The store takes a cut from what sells. Normal grocery items (like a box of mac & cheese, or a can of beans) come from a distributor. The store's stockers unload the truck, stock the stuff, reorder anything that is low on the shelf, and handle scanning out damaged or outdated items. The store pays the distributor for the delivery (minus the store's cut) and the distributor who takes a cut and pays the manufacturers. For 'shrinkage' (damaged/stolen/outdated) stuff, the store takes the loss - they have paid the distributor anyway. Distributor contracts usually have a clause that stores have to occasionally take extra stuff they didn't want to order. So when the distributor needs to clear space in their warehouses, they can send random stuff to stores who then have to figure out what to do with it. This is why you sometimes find odd stuff like a display of tennis shoes in a grocery store. Usually it's just extra groceries of some kind though. The stores get this stuff at a discounted rate, so they could make more profit off of it, but often they sell it discounted as well in order to get rid of it. Frozen, dairy (butter, yogurt, cheese, etc.), milk, eggs, and bottled water all mostly work similarly but may each have their own distributor/shipments. Some brands may do DSD while others go through distributors. The endcaps and special displays are part of 'merchandising' - different brands bid on shelf space that will catch the most eyes/get the most sales and/or for promotional deals. There's another layer of merchandising going on at the corporate level where they bid on who gets the most normal shelf slots and who gets the eye-level shelves vs. being stuck on top or bottom shelf. Wal-mart is its own beast though because it has massive power to negotiate whatever deals it wants, warehouse and distribute, etc. that a typical grocery store chain doesn't have. So it might work differently there.

 Why does UV from the sun cause skin to 'burn'?

It's because the UV light carries a lot of energy, more so than visible light, which is absorbed through our skin when it "bounces" off us, i.e. when it is reflected it leaves the energy behind (as with visible light). Because the energy is so high, the transfer is higher, which agitates the cells in our skin. This is why our skin is cooked / burned when exposed to UV light. The UV light is in a way cooking us alive 😁

 Why is sugar able to dissolve into water so easily?

An oxygen hydrogen bond has a slight dipole meaning that the oxygen pulls more electrons than the hydrogen and leaves it partially charged. The slightly positive H is then attracted to slightly negative O and water arranges itself like that. Sugar has large amounts of OH bonds hanging off the sides of it and actively participates in this 'H-bonding'. This is not a bond in the proper sense, more of a temporarily comfortable position of opposite charges attracting each other and makes it easier for the sugar to separate into the water, increasing solubility. Compared to oils that largely lack these OH bonds and will aggregate to minimize contact with water and form a separate layer. So because the water can sort of 'play' with these slight charges bc the have the same quality (being H-O-H and having its own partial positive and negative regions) it doesn't want to aggregate to minimize water contact. Does this help? Source: Biochemistry BS

 Why does it feel good to rub your eyes when you’re tired?

URL_0 > Rubbing your eyes can also be therapeutic. Pressing down on your eyeball can stimulate the vagus nerve, which slows down your heart rate, relieving stress. That might explain the "feel good", but read the rest in the article about potential damage to your eyes by rubbing them too much. Your eyes have an inner fluid pressure, and you don't want to continually increase that pressure. URL_1 > Even a light rub doubles [eye pressure]. Removing eye make-up or wiping away tears increases the pressure a little more. But scrunching up your eyes then using your knuckles to gouge really hard shoots up your eye pressure more than 20 times. Read the rest, about dangers if you have certain eye conditions. Also, from the first article: > Most worryingly, studies have shown that continuous eye rubbing in susceptible individuals can also lead to thinning of the cornea, which is weakened and pushes forward to become more conical. This is known as keratoconus, and is a serious condition that can lead to distorted vision and ultimately the need for a corneal graft. So basically don't rub too hard or too often. Also if you are rubbing because of an allergy making your eyes itchy, it actually make the itching worse, because rubbing also releases "histamines" (the stuff that makes you itch & sneeze etc. when you have hay fever or other allergies). That's why you might find that if your eyes itch, the more you rub them the more itchy they get! Eyeballs are complicated things. ed: Bit of trivia: Eyeballs are technically *part of your brain*! The retina (the light-sensitive bit at the back of the eyeball) is formed from the same tissues as the brain so it's considered part of the brain. Our brains are literally peeping out of our skulls to see things. :)

Metal is a better conductor, so it saps YOUR heat faster than wood, which is an insulator. Thus, at the same base temperature, metal will cool YOU off faster than wood making it seem colder. Hope that makes sense.

 How do lungs manage to heal themselves when someone has quit smoking after being a smoker and inhaling tar for multiple years?

The tar is constantly being cleaned by cilia and mucous, so the cleaning part isn't really a major surprise. The body finally wins when the crap is no longer constantly added. The "healing" part though is not quite true. Lots of damage cannot be repaired. You won't regain elasticity to lungs that lost it, and the scar tissue won't ever get returned to normal. Sometimes it is too late when the smoker quits.

 How are 2-D cartoons (like Spirited Away or Spongebob) animated today using computers?

Drawing is still mostly what is done to this day. It is mostly drawn with computers these days, but nonetheless there is still quite a bit of work that comes in to do with 2D animation. It's a long process from the initial idea to the finished product but when the animation part happens, most often what they will do is have a skilled animator draw "keyframes." These are somewhat important frames, similar to how a comic book or manga will have, but more plentiful. From one keyframe to the next, it is obvious what motion will take place and this is when less senior animators will draw the frames in between to make it fluid. They will often use a computer overlay of both key frames along with any drawn frames to make the motion make sense (this is a big part of what "Toon Boom Harmony" does for example). And note, the process is divided up in each frame, there will often be a static background upon which a second layer of characters and what not is drawn on. But yes, it is a long, tedious, and often expensive job. Spongebob is a bit easier in terms of animation, it is considered more cartoony and what not, and as a long running series, they can very easily reuse old frames, backgrounds, and character poses to make this process quite a bit faster and cheaper. Things like Spirited Away also have this capability to some degree, but not much. But when copy pasting can be used, it is. The big issue is that we can easily replicate real life physics by using computers, but this generally involves going into the realm of 3D animation and there is no standard physical way to do 2D animation since these physics laws do not apply there and as a result, humans are the ones who decide this in real life. 3D animation seems to work really only when realistic things are portrayed, not the single tone/dual tone faces and large eyes of anime.

 Why curve a bowling ball?

Wikipedia's reason: hook in ten-pin bowling is a ball that rolls in a curving pattern (versus straight). The purpose of the hook is to give the ball a better angle at the 1-3 pocket (right-handers) or 1-2 pocket (left-handers.) When a ball is rolled straight, hitting the pocket must be precise. By hooking the ball, the ball will hit the pins with more force, producing better carry - especially on the 5-pin during a strike ball. Straight roll - even when it hits the pocket, will tend to leave a tap, such as the 5-pin on a light hit, or the 10-pin if the ball was just slightly right of the head pin. A hook ball can create strikes with less precise hits at the pocket. A hook ball can also help the bowler shape the shot on challenging oil patterns.

 Why can a PC not just close a program? Sometimes, especially with poorly optimised video games, they will freeze and crash, but you can’t close them with keybinds or a task manager.

An important thing to know here is that programs are based on a foundation of "tasks" that run in the background. Some tasks are little pieces of software that feed the program information and keep it moving smoothly, others are the whole program running as one whole mechanical engine. Some programs need just the one big task, others have multiple smaller tasks that work together. Most games are single-task, meaning that this big gaming engine is being run through one stream of information. When a game "crashes", what it really means is that that task, or that stream of continuous information that keeps it running smoothly, has stopped running as its meant to run. This usually means that the window of the game freezes or even disappears, but under the hood, that task might still be trying to do what it's been programmed to do. But since it's "frozen" (not responding to commands), it can't respond to any new input. And so it doesn't understand that you (or the task manager directly) have told it to stop. Sometimes, these invisible frozen tasks can even prevent you from reopening your game without problems. They can lag your system or cause other issues. Usually these frozen tasks have a time-out that eventually tells them to stop, at which point it finally closes. edit: Fixed a spelling mistake

 According to this graph (in text), Heroin has a higher potential for a abuse and lethality than morphine, why is this the case when the active drug in heroin is morphine?

Morphine has a structure containing two hydroxyl (-OH) groups. That makes it somewhat water soluble as the hydrochloride or sulfate salt. Acetic anhydride converts thes two hydroxyls into acetyl groups making the diacetyl morphine (diamorphine) molecule less polar, so more soluble in fats and oils. The difference in polarity changes the way it moves round the body and the ease with which it passes from blood into other tissues.

> I learned that glass is only see through because its somewhat liquid. This is not correct. First, [glass isn't actually a liquid]( URL_0 ), and second, plenty of solids are transparent. Lots of plastics and minerals are transparent despite being solids. Heck, you can even manufacture [transparent aluminum]( URL_1 )! The difference between something being transparent and opaque comes down to its molecular structure. Diamond and graphite are both carbon, but the carbon atoms are arranged differently. In diamond, the atoms are aligned into a grid pattern which allows light to pass through. In graphite, the same atoms are arranged in a layered hexagonal pattern which blocks light.

 How do dietitians' scales measure body composition?

They don't. Or at the least, they do so badly. In theory, they work by sending a small electrical current through your body. Muscle and fat have different electrical resistances, so by taking your height and weight into account, it can estimate how much of that weight is fat. In practice, this is highly inaccurate and can vary greatly from day to day. To get a reliable figure, you have to do an immersion test (comparing weights in and out of water) or a volumetric test (measuring volume by sitting in an enclosed space and changing the air pressure).

 Elements want 8 electrons in their valence shell to become stable. Why do atoms want exactly 8 valence electrons, and why is it impossible to have 9 valence electrons?

The reason is to do with the quantum mechanics of how an electron bound to a nucleus behaves. The electron's wavefunction has to take the shape of a set of mathematical functions known as a spherical harmonics (you can Google these to see what they look like). The reason it's a spherical harmonic is that is has the right spherical symmetry. Spherical harmonics are labelled with three numbers, which are conventionally called n, l, and m, where 0 < = l < = n, and -l < = m < = l. At n=0, the only possible state is n=0, l=0, m=0 (I'll shorten this to (0,0,0)). At n=1, the possible states are (1,0,0) (1,1,-1) (1,1,0) (1,1,1). Electrons have one additional property: spin. An electron can be either spin up (↑), or spin down (↓). You'll hopefully notice at this point that means that for n = 1, there are 8 possible states, the four spherical harmonics * two spins. This is where the number 8 comes from. The 'n' parameter is what chemists would call the number of shells. You'll notice that for n > 1, you'll have even more states available, this is why things start to get more complex. Chemists call l = 0 the 's' orbital, l = 1 is 'p', l = 2 is 'd' and l = 3 is 'f', and the addition of these extra possible states makes chemistry of these things more interesting. You should also note that this structure of states is what creates the shape of the periodic table, getting wider as you go down it; that's all to do with more spherical harmonic states becoming available.

 Why are reflective things reflective?

The reason why anything is visible is because it reflects light into our eyes. Colours happen when a material absorbs certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others, hence you only see the reflected wavelengths. As for why certain materials are reflective (eg. mirrors, glass, polished metal) while others are not, the answer lies in the texture of the surface at the microscopic level. A rough uneven surface causes reflected light to scatter, while a smooth and even surface allows light to be reflected in mostly the same direction, allowing a cohesive image to be transmitted.

Have you seen the movie inception? The main crew keep a small item to test if they are in reality or not. When they aren't sure, they use it to confirm. Like spinning a top, or such. If you haven't seen it, it may provide some perspective and mental tricks to help.

 What is happening when something gets "sun bleached"?

Ultraviolet rays cause damage over time, leading to breaking down the actual molecules of ink/dye/paint/etc that give something it's colour. Eventually all of the colour molecules are broken into smaller pieces and all colour is lost.

 If a rocket is re-entering Earth and is about to land, how can we hear the sonic booms even though the rockets were slowing down?

Took me a little while after reading your question to work out what is unique about a booster landing versus a fighter jet or Concorde. When a fighter jet is flying overhead at a constant speed much faster than the speed of sound, you hear a sonic boom. The sonic boom travels out as a cone. When that cone of boom hits you is when you hear the sonic boom. Closer to speed of sound the flatter cone. What’s the difference with a reentering booster? The cone is pointing vertically... ie. you are coming back in from space... there isn’t a point where the cone intersects the ground (well, the cone is travelling in the direction of the booster so does wash over you once the booster has already landed) Also the boosters speed isn’t constant so doesn’t build up into a single cone of boom. So with the landing booster, you will probably only get the single crack of it slowing past the sound barrier followed by the roar of many imperfectly formed sonic boom cones hitting you. (Actually you also get several cracks because about 3 or 4 different points on the booster are creating sonic booms)

 How come when you massage your temples it helps your headache?

Massaging your temples or another temples to soothe a headache can help with the pain in several different ways: distraction from the pain and also maximization of circulation and optimal myofascial (muscle/connective tissue) function. This answer is mainly directed toward someone with a headache in the temple region, outside of the eyes. The answer may be different for someone with a headache in a different region of the head. When you massage the temples, you can do several techniques: mainly friction (rubbing across the skin) or various methods of kneading (rubbing into the skin and underlying tissues). Friction mainly is for draining pain-inducing chemicals from the tissues, to be resupplied with fresh blood supply, which essentially "cleanses" the tissue of pain and result in inflammation. Kneading (like the circle patterns we usually do) is to break up areas of myofascial tension and adhesion to underlying structures via repeated tension cycles. This will be for several goals: to break apart connective tissue that is cutting off blood/lymph/nerve supply and also to stimulate and reset optimal fluid flow in the tissue. Now, if you apply constant pressure to trigger points in the temporalis muscle, you will get relief from tension in the following areas (of red/referred pain): The tricky part is that these areas can be referred and triggered from other areas, which is a whole other question. But, it does feel good to release these points if you have a tension headache. If one has a true migraine, they may release part of the tension headache component with this, but the true migraine is unfortunately a different beast. It requires much more complete and systemic measures to address. (source, URL_0 )

 What is a good and simple analogy for the big freeze theory?

Imagine you put 1000 ants randomly onto a little patch of soil 1 foot square. They're close together, they can work together to achieve things, maybe they'll even establish a new colony. It's thriving with activity. But now imagine you can magically grow that square foot of soil at an ever-expanding rate. After an hour it's now 10ft square. The ants can still cross the distance and cooperate, it just takes them longer and uses more energy. After two hours it's a mile square. Maybe some ants are still working together here and there but most just got separated by distance and are wandering around alone. After three hours it's a thousand miles square. Now each ant is so far apart from it's neighbors that they'll likely never meet except in rare circumstances. After four hours it's a million miles square. The possibility that any two ants will ever meet and be able to do work together is vanishingly small. After five hours it's a hundred billion miles square. Each ant couldn't even cross the distance to the next ant if it walked for an entire lifetime. After six hours, all the ants are dead. Each one ran out of energy and just lay down on their separate, lonely, vast islands of isolation and expired. The whole scene is still. What was once thriving activity is now completely static and lifeless.

 How do researchers test survey particpants for their awareness on a certain subject?

By making the survey questions open ended without mentioning the thing you actually want the data on. So if I wanted, say, to know the awareness level of a given product, I would ask a question related to like products and then see if the product I want data on is mentioned by the respondent. This helps me gauge the level of awareness the test group has on the subject I'm testing without letting them know it is this subject I want data on.

 Can someone explain what the grey market is? In simple terms please haha

White market is the market as we know it.(example: mall, everything is new, all from official store). Black market is the illegal market.(example: underground market). Gray market. is usually the second hand market, or who import but not an official seller. (most seller here are individuals and small businesses). though this is the case from where i live, i cannot guarantee that it would be the same in yours. edit: i felt like i should add the “white” and “black” market just to make a contrast (no pun intended) between it.

 How does the Mandela Effect work?

Faulty memory and delusions of the past. Human memory is faulty. You eat your chicken sandwich. In an hour you'll remember eating it, then maybe you'll remember it again later. At each instance you're not remembering the chicken sandwich, you're just remembering your memory of it. You save and overwrite your memory each time. That memory is subject to change. Maybe one time you see a misspelling or something else, so you incorporate it into your memory, and now you have a false memory. Maybe you saw someone spell Chick-fil-A incorrectly, incorporated that into you memory, now you're remembering an incorrect memory, and due to bad memory, paranoia over conspiracies, age, and delusion, you think the name changed or you're going insane. Since the internet allows insane people across the world to congregate, then a bunch of people can think they're collectively insane, therefore a conspiracy, therefore < insert whatever theory it is > .

 When Europeans first came to America, a lot of native people died of diseases from Europa. Why didn't the same happen to the Europeans?

They did not. I'm sure some of them got diarrhea or something, but there was no equivalent of smallpox for Europeans. Europeans came from a much more diverse region, with greater genetic variety, more domesticated animals, and more opportunities for contact with foreign cultures. The Native Americans, by contrast, had not been exposed to foreigners and had comparatively little exposure to zoonotic diseases.

 What differs Minors and Majors from Bachelor's degrees and Master's degrees?

A major is your primary field of study and is a specific field you take ~2/3 of your classes in. So if you were a computer science major most of your classes would be in the computer science department. A minor is a “secondary” field of study, you can optionally choose to take in addition to your major. So maybe you’re also interested in business, and you take 4-6 classes on business in addition to your major. So you’d have a Bachelor’s in Computer Science with a Minor in Business. Your masters/phd comes after that. If people in different majors take the same classes it’s probably for general education requirements, electives, or maybe one or 2 of their major classes overlap.

 Could two different passwords have the same hash? Would this seriously affect password security?

Yes, this is called a "hash collision." How common collisions are depend on the algorithm. With typical algorithms it's quite unlikely that two users would actually pick passwords that end up with the same hash. The real problem with collisions is that it makes it much easier to crack passwords: there are multiple correct solutions that correspond to a stolen hash, instead of just one. Hashing algorithms where collisions are relatively frequent are not safe for use in password security.

 why flies and other bugs love to land on people and fly around their heads?

They don’t have the cognizance/brains to understand the connection between flying around you, your hand, and its connection to you. Aka they’re too dumb to know you’re trying to swat them, they’re just trying to avoid a giant hand. Also they probably think you smell nice. Nice is subjective. Wasps like meat, flies like poo or any sort of strong smell like food. If you smell like those things, you might attract them. Bees and butterflies like nice smells like perfumes and fruit and flowers, so you might attract them if you smell nice. Bugs don’t know they’re being annoying, they’re just being bugs.

 Is sleeping in intervals as good as a full night's rest?

Actually, there's historical evidence to suggest that sleeping in two blocks of about 4 hours with around an hour or so in between is *better* than sleeping in a single block of 8 hours. People would even do things like chat with their neighbours and have a meal in that hour between sleeps. The 8 hour long rest thing was invented during industrial-era Britain iirc, because the factory and mine owners wanted to find ways to increase the amount of time workers spent working. It became so prevalent that humans now naturally take up that sleeping pattern. So, if you're going to adjust, I'd recommend trying to adjust to a sleeping in 2 lumps thing rather than a solid 8 hours.

 Does the sun have conventional weather? Is there such thing as "rain" or "wind" on the surface of the sun or is it just a big fireball?

There are massive thermal forces at work. Areas of relative hot and cold, but you have to realize the sun is a giant fireball of nuclear fusion. There is no surface. There is no water or any other liquid. As such the "weather" is just the way the fluid of gas behaves due to thermal forces.
