 Why is low voltage, high amperage electricity less dangerous than high voltage, low amperage electricity?

As a very crude analogy: Think of a wide river flowing slowly. This represents a low voltage (low pressure differential) and high current (a lot of water flowing per second). You can pretty easily swim in it. Now consider a water cutting jet. This is a super high pressure jet (high voltage) but the total rate of water flow is small (low current). But if you put your hand in it, it will cut your hand off. Or another analogy: Take a 5 lb hammer and rest it on your hand. Now take a pin and poke it into your hand with 5 lb of weight (same as the hammer). The first has the weight spread out (low pressure; ie low voltage) over your hand and there is no injury. The other has very high pressure at the point of the pin (ie high voltage) and will puncture your skin.


Question: if I have a credit card with a lot of debt, can I get a second credit card to pay off the balance, then use the first credit card to pay the second cards balance, and keep doing this back and forth until I have enough rewards points to pay off the entire debt?

Paying one credit card directly with another is called a balance transfer. The cards usually charge fees to do this, but occasionally you can find one with free balance transfers over a period of time. Doing a balance transfer awards no points/miles on any credit card that I am familiar with. Now, that being said, there are other routes that you can use to churn up points/miles, but they all cost some amount of money to do and it is up to you to determine if they are worth it. Also, if the credit card companies find out that you are doing this (and they do check), they can revoke the points/miles, so you have to be careful.

 If the definition of a planet is something like the body must clear the path of orbit of debris, how is Jupiter a planet, considering it has like 63 moons and rings? What about Saturn with its moons and its rings?

The idea of "clearing one's orbit" is obviously open to interpretation, as in all honesty no planet's orbit is completely clear (even Earth's). Further, satellites of the planets are considered to be a "part" of that planet (from a gravitational perspective) in this context, as the relationship between those planets and their satellites is much more significant than between those satellites and *other* objects (e.g. the Sun). The point of the "cleared orbit" was more to showcase that the 8 planets **overwhelmingly** dominate the distribution of mass in their specific orbits. Pluto does not; it's just one iceball among many. Further, the reason Jupiter's orbit is not cleared (e.g. the Trojan asteroids) is entirely *because* of how massive it is. More to the point, the definition of planet was driving primarily by the need to demarcate a difference between the classical planets and the plethora of smaller objects that exist in the asteroid belt and beyond the orbit of Neptune, some of which are larger than Pluto.

 What Actually happens if the CDC detects a Superbug?

Doctor here. We already got a bunch of them. Not a lot. But definitely more than one (world, not just usa). It's probably not kept under wraps. But we are extremely careful to prevent this from happening in the first place. That's why it's important to not jump on antibiotics every time you get a cold. And more importantly for doctors to not give antibiotics just because patients asked for it. But if it did happen, they will probably quarantine the source patient if found to prevent further spread. A "nasty" stomach bug is not a superbug. Nasty is something that goes "viral" real quick ( guess where that word came from) and there are other definitions too.

 Why are there so many auto-insurance comparison sites?

Most of them actually aren't popular at all. Everyone wants to create the next big thing, and many of them probably took a gamble on buying a lot of advertising time, but I'd be doubtful if more than one of them takes off and becomes popular. If I design one app/website, even if it's great, I have to *sell* it to people to convince them it's great. If I design a hundreds apps/websites, there's a *much* greater chance of one of them taking off - and then I can invest more development time in that one.

 What does a PoE/Power-over-Ethernet switch do?

PoE means that the electricity required to power the device is sent over the Ethernet cable so you don't need to run an extension cord to wherever the device is in order to power it. This is especially useful for long-range wifi antennas that are in high-up or otherwise hard to reach places because you only have to run the one small Cat-5 or 6 wire up to it. A PoE switch is a switch that either requires PoE to power it or provides PoE to other devices connected to it.

 How are sunset and sunrise times calculated in hilly or mountainous areas?

The sunset and sunrise times are still calculated in the same way. A large part of the light during daytime does not come directly from the Sun but rather from reflection in the sky and surounding hilltops. So it is still noticably darker after sunset even though the Sun have been bellow the horizon all day. It is possible to calculate the actual sunrise and sunset using topological maps of an area and the exact possition. However this is usually not as useful to people.

 Why does a word start looking wrong the more you look at it?

It is a phenomenon known as *semantic satiation*. A word is just an arbitrary symbol for some concept. When you stare it is for a while, start perceiving it as a symbol and start seeing it as a group of letters. Those letters, in turn, are symbols for sounds, and you start seeing them as squiggles instead. Once completely divorced from the concept the original word represented, the arbitrary nature of the symbols become more apparent, resulting in a sense of wrongness.

 What is codependency? Why is it bad? Could it be good?

Imagine a fictional couple, Alice and Bob. Alice is a mess. Maybe she's mentally ill, maybe she's an alcoholic, maybe she's a drug addict, maybe she's got very poor coping skills, maybe she's just really immature. Until or unless she gets better, Alice can't cope with the real world, can't really even survive. Bob has really low self-esteem but good coping skills. Bob deals with this by looking for someone who *really, really* needs him, who can't really survive without him, and becoming that person's support structure. Mind, you, Bob never confronts Alice about her problems. Nor does he ever encourage Alice to seek treatment or counseling or any kind of education. If she got better, she wouldn't need Bob any more. Bob doesn't want that. Alice is what we call *dependent.* Bob is what we call *co-dependent.* Alice needs to get help for her problems. Bob needs to do something about his low self-esteem and stop keeping Alice from getting help.

 Why does some honey solidify, and some doesn't?

Normal store-bought honey is heavily filtered, leaving out most of the solids. Natural honey still has all of the solids, pollen, etc left in. Interesting article about a test of many store brands of honey, which determined that most store brands aren't pure honey, and can almost be considered fake. Especially when it claims to come from a region, but there's no proof, as the pollen is removed, which is traceable. URL_0

Simply because it's inefficient to do so. They are relatively small and dispersed compared to say, Tuna or Cod. The amount of work involved with catching smaller / less common fish would increase the price of the fish, and have less to show for it.

 How or why does a rechargable battery lose some of its charge when it hasn't been used?

Batteries have an internal resistance. The lithium chemistry has a much higher internal resistance than the Nicad, nimh and lead chemistry this leads to to the batteries being usable after some months since last charged. The internal resistance creates a parasitic draw which is slowly discharging the energy across the actual battery cell itself !

We do get nervous when speaking to one person. There's a number of ways they could find out we don't know what we're saying, or find a flaw in our reasoning. More people means there's more eyes scrutinizing how we look and move, and ears analysing what we say. There's more ways we can be "discovered"

 What dictates the maximum framerate of a PC game?

Animations these days aren't made frame by frame, they are made with keyframes. A keyframe is a specific pose that has been made by an animator, or obtained from motion capture. Keyframes may occur at regular intervals, or they may be irregular times. When the game plays the animation it interpolates between key frames. So say an animation was authored at 30 keyframes a second, but the game is running at 60 fps it means every other frame the animation will be half way between two keyframes. The basics of interpolation are pretty simple. Imagine in one keyframe a character's arm is out straight, and in the next the elbow is bent 90 degrees. If a game's frame happens at the half way point between those two keyframes then the elbow will be bent 45 degrees. There are more advanced ways to do interpolation, but the principle is the same.

 what is a race in biology and why humans cannot be classified with races? (besides ethical matters)

Race really isn't a scientific term. So, while there are regional variations in human genetics, and people whose ancestors come from one region are likely to have certain genetic traits, the idea that we can divide humanity up into distinct groups isn't really a scientific one. There's no clear cut "These people have the Asian gene, and those people have the European gene" going on. Any such division made is purely arbitrary, going "I think those people are similar, and those people aren't." So there's no real science behind the concept of "race" as we use it in modern society.

 Why water from the ocean is salty ?

Water that is running from the land into the ocean picks up minerals along the way. This all gets deposited in the oceans when the rivers empty into them. Evaporation off the oceans takes away the water and moves it back over land to feed the rivers but leaves behind the minerals that were dissolved increasing the concentration in teh water that's still in teh ocean.

 Scientists have recently changed "the value" of Kilogram and other units in a meeting in France. What's been changed? How are these values decided? What's the difference between previous and new value?

Previously the kilograms was based on the mass of an arbitrary piece of metal in France, and companion pieces of metal were made of the same mass and given to other countries as well. It has been discovered that all of these pieces are not as precisely the same as you would like, as well as the fact that radioactive decay is making them slightly less massive all the time. Also with only I think 5 of these in the world, it's very hard to get access to them for tests if needed. To combat these things and make sure that the mass of a kilogram stays the same forever, they are changing the definition to be a multiplier of a universal constant. The constant they selected was pretty well known but scientists were off by about 4 digits on its value, so they spent recent years running different experiments to get their value perfect. Now that it is we can change the kilogram value, and other base units that are derived from the kilogram. And since this universal constant is well.... universal, you no longer need access to a specific piece of metal to run tests. So anyone anywhere will now be able to get the exact value of a kilogram. But the mass of a kilogram isn't actually changing, just the definition that derives that mass. So instead of "a kilogram is how ever much this thing weighs." It will be "a kilogram is this universal constant times 12538.34" Some base units that are based on the kilogram, like the mole will actually change VERY slightly because of this new definition but not enough to impact most applications. And even with the change we know that it's value will never change again. Edit : Fixed a typo and change weight to mass because apparently 5 year olds understand that better then weight.......

 How can a pill that weighs couple grams at most, cost $763 which makes the box of 21 over $16,000 dollars?

A regular person can’t. Drug companies inflate the price of their drugs because insurance will either “pay” a large majority of the price, or will negotiate a lower price for the drug. The reason that drug companies feel that they are able to justify the prices is due to their R & D work and testing on the product. If they spend years developing their drugs, they feel justified in charging large amounts of money to recover their expenses. The U.S insurance system makes it so that they can work together to inflate prices, and then negotiate lower prices for the consumer.

Maybe because the chlorine/chloramine dissipates from tap water after it's been sitting, which changes the taste

 why do our brains randomly create stories that we believe actually happened to us?

Because our brains aren't meant to create perfect recreations of events in a narrative sense; they're meant to match patterns to allow us to more accurately predict when something good or bad would happen to us. It's more efficient, to that end, to reconstruct memories from learned experience rather than to hold all that information forever.

 How are developers able to program computers to be better at the game of chess than most humans?

Chess is very well understood. Early chess computers worked by assigning a value to pieces and then having the computer simulate possible moves and see which ones an average lead to having a "material advantage". They would search through branches of possible moves and countermoves, thousands of possibilities. If a branch showed too much loss the computer would ignore it to save time. This made the play style of chess computers very distinctive and frustrating. Basically they were extremely conservative. They won simply by gradually building an advantage. Highly skilled human players generally didnt lose to some impressive trick or gambit or even incredible positioning. It just that pver time they made more small miscalculations than the machine. The endgame of chess is quite different. This material advantage strategy isnt the most efficient. Instead computers were programmed with the ability to play certain known endgames. Again the advantage of the computer is that it never makes any mistake executing the endgame. Newer chess systems like AlphaZero are harder to explain. Very roughly they start off playing almost randomly. Then when the match is finished they judge how well they did and adjust. This is repeated many thousands of times until the computer learns to play very well. The results of this had been much more interesting to human chess players than traditional chess computers. They play the game in a way that feels clever and aggressive. Even better we can track the learning of the system. AlphaZero reinvented a variety of known chess strategies on its way to playing at a superhuman level. (This is pretty validating to human players, it suggests that the traditional method really did just rely on outlasting the other player) Unfortunately systems like AlphaZero dont do a good job at explaining why they make the moves they do. So to an extent we don't know why they work so well even though it is known how to design them.

 How do satellites not fall back to Earth due to gravity if they are not traveling at escape velocity?

Satellites *are* falling back toward Earth due to gravity. But because of their sideways velocity, they keep missing it. Escape velocity is the velocity and object needs to travel away from a gravitational source such that it can continue forever away from that source without needing additional boosts to its velocity. Literally, the velocity needed to escape the effect of its gravitational pull. Satellites aren't meant to escape Earth's gravity, but rather to come into equilibrium with it.

 Why do airplane seats go AC DF with no B or E?

This is done on regional planes that have 2x2 seating. B and E are middle seats. It has no middle seats. People might get upset if they saw "Seat 5B" on their boarding pass when they asked for an aisle, and then staff would have to explain it is 2x2 seating and you still have an aisle. So it's easier to just call that seat 5C and avoid the issue.

 How do scientists identify new elements and isolate them?

They mostly try to make them in particle smashers, slam two particles together and try to get them to stick. Then you track the resulting particle in the particle beam until it decays into smaller things. While there is a theoretical "island of stability" containing stable supermassive elements, no actual stable superheavies have been made.

 Why the faster the wind the colder it feels if the faster the molecules/atom, the hottest it gets?

Each and every living being emits some of it's heat into the air. We take advantage of this in winter by wearing thick filled with air jackets in which the air gets warmed by our heat. That's how a winterjacket keeps you warm, it keeps YOUR heat around YOUR body. Because what happens without a jacket, is that the warm air gets carried away by wind and because warm air naturally goes up. When the wind is blowing faster, the warm air gets taken away much faster and therefore you feel colder.

 How do humans understand how an animals vision works?

Humans know how animal *eyes* work because we've taken them apart and looked at what all the individual pieces do. We don't actually know exactly how *vision* works in any species, even our own, since that seems at least partly subjective and involve more neurons working together than we can easily measure or simulate. We do have a very good idea in general, but there are some specifics such as "what does the colour blue look like to someone else" that we really don't even know how to start to answer.

 Why does the enzyme catalase break down hydrogen peroxide?

It takes hydrogen peroxide and combines together to make oxygen and water! That's why your not supposed to but hydrogen peroxide on your cuts because the bacteria on your cut are already exposed to the air and use it to live and divide. If you put hydrogen peroxide on them, since they are aerobes, they effectively dilute it! That's why you see bubbles when you poor it on the skin, it's the oxygen! Also hydrogen peroxide acts as a mechanical cleaner of the skin so it can actually harm our skin by killing our fibroblast cells. Source: college medical microbiology

 Why does the Salt in McDonald's Salt Packets Taste Different from the Salt They're Prepared with?

It's all just salt. The difference is the size of the grains. The salt that is used when making french fries has super-fine crystals - it's almost a powder while the salt in the packets is more like a traditional table salt. The size of the salt crystals greatly influences how it impacts your taste buds.

That's part of his job duties. Choosing which bills actually make it to the floor is part of his duties, so that Congress's time isn't wasted with junk bills. If there wasn't some mechanism to filter out bad laws, flooding Congress with worthless laws to waste their time would be a mechanism that could be abused. It's just that normally, the Senate majority leader isn't a controversial figure and agrees with the rest of their party in Congress.

 What is GDP? What does it mean if a country has high or low GDP?

GDP is gross domestic product and it measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country. Basically it measures a country’s economic performance on a yearly basis but can be calculated quarterly. It doesn’t really matter if the GDP is low or high but if GDP rising or falling. Rising GDP means the economy is in pretty good shape where as falling GDP indicates the economy is in trouble. A high GDP however simply means the country is producing a lot and the citizens have a lot of total income thus are spending more. A country with low GDP won’t produce as much or have as much income but that doesn’t mean their economy is bad.

 why is gold backed currency dangerous to global financial order?

A gold backed currency isn't dangerous on its own. The US used to have a gold backed system until the great depression. Back then exchange rates were fixed bc almost everybody backed their currency with gold. Some conservatives like this idea because it prevents infinite devaluation of a currency: There is a finite amount of gold in the world, certain countries own certain amounts so they can only make as much money as gold they own. The main problem with gaddafi trying to go back to this system is that oil is traded in US dollars. Besides the US liking this way of business, countries now only use gold as a form of collateral between them as they make deals and their currencies "float" ever since the 70's which means they are traded on exchanges in the global financial system. If a country prints a bunch of money, then traders will see this and deem that currency less valuable relative to other currencies. So, besides countries not wanting to pay for oil in gold to Libya only and USD to everyone else it would subvert the global system of floating currencies by allowing an actor, gaddafi, to play by other rules. If he were able to get people to pay him in gold, he could stockpile it which would make it hard for the rest of the world to use gold in the way it does. Also see the England Tea trade with China and the opium wars of the 19th century for how asymmetrical trade balances have caused international conflicts.

I think the prevailing theory is that when someone is dying, their heart eventually stops and they pass out, so although their brain is active for another minute or two or three, they are unconsious, so they don't experience any of it. It would be like asking someone what they experienced when they fainted. They don't remember anything after the fainting part begins.

And arithmetic can be done several different ways and still get correct results, even within U.S. elementary schools let alone different countries.

 - What goes on in the brain when spacing out?

Pretty much everything is "conserving" at that point. There's decreased brain activity across the board, more or less. There's a ton of things that could cause this. Perhaps you've been focusing too long, perhaps your body has given your brain some sort of signal that it wasn't expecting, so it kinda "pauses" for a little bit to get back on track. There's hypotheses that this is part of a biological preservation mechanism, as dissociation (spacing out) can sometimes happen during traumatic events, especially in young children. Really, unfortunately, this falls into the realm of social sciences, though, which is not a terribly accurate or precise science. So, we may never know the reason "why" our bodies and brains do a lot of things.

The pipe is hollow and the plastic itself is thin enough to reverberate when struck. These reverberations are the sound that you hear.

 Can soil erosion one day completely finish the fertile soil available on our planet?

If the farmer does nothing to rejuvenate the nutrients in the soil, often done via crop rotation, which is planting crops that add necessary nutrients to the soil as they grow and when they are tilled in, rather than planting a crop for harvest. Or even leaving the fields fallow (letting whatever native species grow, rather than planting a crop) for a few seasons can help rejuvenate the soil. But if industrial monocrop farming carries on unabated without using these techniques (and others) then yes, the soil will eventually be drained of nutrients and unable to bear harvestable crops.

 Why do our legs tap up and down when we're nervous or just whenever?

When our minds and emotions have excess energy from stress or nervousness, it is common to release it in the form of movement. Sometimes it’s leg or foot tapping, sometimes it’s pencil or pen tapping (hand or finger movement), or for others it’s letting their mind race with other distracting thoughts.

Because while a calorie is a defined unit of energy, everyone's metabolism is different and uses different amounts of energy to do the same thing. You might burn only 1 calorie climbing up that flight of stairs while I burn 3. The display is a guess based on averages.

 Why are there rings around the planet Saturn?

Rings form around a planet when stuff in orbit is too close to clump into a moon due to the planet's gravity. In Saturn's case, most likely, the ring material was moons at some point, but they got ripped apart by tidal forces. (That's the same reason moons like Io are volcanically active - the tidal forces create enough friction inside them to melt their innards). Saturn has "shepherd moons" inside the rings that help define the separation between rings, but these moons will likely die soon, since they're inside the area where tidal forces are too strong. Rings are temporary. The material in them eventually falls onto the planet. Wait a hundred million years or so, and Saturn's rings won't be nearly as impressive as they are now.

 Why does the sound of an engine change when it drives past you?

The Doppler Effect is super easy to understand with a good animated diagram, that you can find easily with Google. But I’ll try to explain it in text. Imagine your annoying friend is pelting you with balls. He throws the balls at you at a constant rate, for example once every second. If he’s running toward you while throwing the balls, the balls hit you more frequently. That’s because each ball has less distance to travel. As your friend gets closer to you, the balls can reach you more quickly. On the other hand, if he’s running away from you, each ball has more distance to cover than the last, so you don’t get hit as frequently. Sound waves are like the balls, and the pitch of a sound depends on its frequency. When the source of sound is moving toward you, the sound waves hit you more frequently, so you hear a higher pitched sound, and the opposite when it’s moving away.

 What does it mean when odds are 10-1 or 30-1. How does someone know how and which way to get based on these numbers?

That for every unit staked you make 10x that if the bet wins. Or 30. If something pays 10 to 1 odds and you bet £100 you make £1000, so £900 in profit. This doesn't mean you should bet on that outcome however, since bookmakers don't assign odds that favourable to probable events. In theory, bookmakers assign odds so that they can make money regardless of the outcome.

 How was money inserted in society?

I want goats, and have chickens. You want chickens, but have horses. I don’t want horses, so you need to find goats. Goats aren’t super easy to find, so you give me a shell, telling me it’s worth 5 goats. I believe you. This is obviously a very simple summary of how we transitioned from a bartering system to a monetary system. Money is something that we just agree has value, even if it doesn’t in and of itself.

 Why do people look more pale underwater?

Water absorbs light with longer wavelengths more easily than light with shorter wavelengths. As a result, reddish tones are absorbed, and blueish tones pass through. The deeper you go, the bluer things appear, and eventually the blue tones also start to be absorbed, resulting in blackness.

 Why are there more photons per second in longer wavelengths than in shorter wavelengths of the same power?

Shorter wavelength photons have higher energy, so it takes fewer of those photons per second to achieve a certain power level. The photon energy frequency - relationship is called the [Planck-Einstein Relation] ( URL_0 ), formula E = h ν.

 Why are IPv4/IPv6/NetBIOS addresses and names needed in networking when every device has a unique MAC address?

The MAC address does not give any description of where the device is located or how you can send a packet to it. If we were all just using MAC addresses for all traffic then every router at every ISP needs a list of all the devices in the world and where to find them. This would be extremely difficult to maintain. The current system of addresses is based on the geographical and logical location in the network. A router only needs to look at the first bits of an address in order to know where it should send the package next. You can compare it to a post address. We technically do not need to write the street name, post code and country on every letter we send in the mail since most people have a unique name. However it is very helpful to the post office to know if the receiver is living on the other side of the city or in the next country. The way we have it now they can only look at the post code and sort it into rough boxes that can be sent in different directions. A post office in New York City does not need to know your street address in Los Angles and only need to know what post code range is used for the west coast cities.

 If radio waves and visible light exist on the same spectrum, why can't you tune a transmitter to get it to shine?

Your antenna isn't efficient at generating waves that small. Antennas are optimized for a certain size range. AM antennas are big and transmit around 1 MHz which is waves around 300 meters. FM antennas can be much smaller and work around 100 MHz / 3 meters. If you tried to get an antenna that's good at broadcasting FM to instead broadcast 2.4 GHz for WiFi it would do terribly and you'd barely get any signal out no matter how much energy you pumped in. Similarly a microwave antenna is meant for 300 MHz-300 GHz, trying to get it to blast out Near IR at 400 THz is going to be terribly inefficient, and trying to get it to generate blue light at 770 THz is going to be even worse You instead need to use transmitters and antennas optimized for the frequency you want to work with, its incredibly hard to build anything that can work effectively across an order of magnitude, let alone 6 (300 MHz to 400 THz)

 Why do cheering crowds always sound the same?

They don’t... have your heard the Japanese cheer at a game. Anyways the reason why a crowd may sound the same is due to a large amount of noise being concentrated at one time. What your ear hears is a combination of all these noises. In this phenomenon, sound is getting superimposed - sound frequencies are added on top of each other. This superposition of noice can sound vastly different than just one persons cheer. The superposition of sound in a crowd creates a somewhat average distribution of noise and this distribution when applied to different crowds will more or less sound the same. Not the correct way of thinking about it, but it’s kind of like the average of sound being heard from a human. So on average a crowd will sound the same.

 How could a senior executive of a company sell any of that company's stock without it being insider trading?

There are two primary ways: 1) They have transactions arranged to sell at pre-determined times well in advance, for example they want to sell $250k worth of shares on the last day of every quarter. 2) There are "blackout" periods where insiders are advised that they are not able to trade. These are typically at the end of a fiscal quarter when executives become aware of financial performance, or ad hoc when there is a material event being discussed like an acquisition. The company's legal department will advise those "in the know" when they can/can't sell because the executive meets the criteria of having "material, non-public" information about the company.

 How many layers of water molecules does it take before something is wet?

This is an excellent question without a clear answer, because it depends on what you mean by "wet". Here's some food for thought though: your body is ~70% water by weight, but that's actually not that much water. All of the various biomolecules inside your cells only have 1-10 layers of water molecules between them, so I would assume that's close to the lower limit of what chemically counts as "wet".
