 Why are GMOs considered a bad thing? Aren't they modified to be better?

The intention is that they will be better. Humans have a track record of messing things up while believing they are doing good, though. That's why there is/should be concern, oversight, and testing.

 Why do eggs become solid when we cook them?

Eggs contain a lot of proteins. Proteins in normal states have a very precise structure and there are 4 levels of that structure. While proteins have their structure intact, they look like a ball of tangled string. If you heat up these proteins, they start to unwind, destroying this tangled webs of bonds and unwinding. Now, proteins are really long, while tangled they occupy a little space but when untangled they are super long and act like interlaced book pages and its harder for them to move. They change from a gel-like substance to a solid. Internal structure of these proteins lets light go trough it but once they are untangled they stop light, thats why they change from a transparent gel to a white solid. EDIT: The process in known as denaturation and occurs not only due to heat, read about it on wiki, theres a lot of info about how the process works.

 Can all substances be in all 3 states of matter? If you heat up metal, it will melt, but is there a point where you heat it enough that it will become a gas? Same goes for every substance on earth

The answer is almost entirely "yes". Strictly speaking, heating and cooling alone won't do it - you may also have to change the pressure of the substance. Carbon dioxide, for example, goes straight from solid to gas at normal Earth pressures but does have a liquid state at higher pressures. (Water would show the same behavior at lower pressures, going right from ice to vapor without a liquid state. It does this on Mars, for example, which is why Mars has no liquid water on its surface despite (a) having tons of ice and (b) sometimes going well above freezing temp.) There are also chemicals that, under normal circumstances, will break down or react long before they reach a different state of matter (for example, wood will burn before it melts). But in principle, every substance has a [triple point]( URL_0 ) where the solid, gas, and liquid phases all meet and you can go through any of the three phases by changing temperature or pressure just a tiny bit. Very strictly speaking, I believe helium-4 is speculated, but not known, to have a solid form at high pressures. But that's a rare exception in a material that interacts in extremely unusual ways, at temperatures low enough for quantum-mechanical effects to be important (at which point "liquid" stops really being a good descriptor either, as it doesn't behave like a typical liquid).

It's the squishy of fluids around your eyeball/socket. You can hear it because it's not an internal sound you're used to (your brain is constantly blocking out a shit-ton of noises your body is producing like the flowing of blood, your heartbeat, etc.) and it's _right next to your ear_.

 How do video streaming services work?

The same way that anything on the internet works, they download the files :) With streaming video a compressed video is usually broken into a number of chunks say about a half second long each. The actual entire video file is in one piece but each chunk can be downloaded and played independently. On the viewing side as long as the the player can download some basic data like how long a movie is, title, possibly thumbnails for different parts of the movie, it just needs to download chunks as it needs to play them. Now with streaming video compression there's an interesting consequence that results because not all computers will support the same compression formats. The server will usually have multiple copies of a single video all encoded in different formats and qualities to match the users connection speed and encoding needs. The player will figure out what format and quality it needs and request the matching video. With live videos the video is just uploaded to the a server right before players can request to download it. For really popular stuff load balancing gets a bit tricky because a single server can only handle so many clients at once. So usually there are a ton of servers with the exact same copies of the video in different places.

 why do games have so many dll files?

They're called library files because they contain resources for programs to work. They are accessible by multiple programs to share the data, but only when needed so it saves on memory. Each library would have a specific functionality though, so that's why there are a lot of them, but since they're only used when absolutely required they don't waste a lot of system resources.

 How do deep sea fish survive under so much pressure?

Let's imagine a fish as a little balloon full of water. I know it's one heck of a simplification, but still, bear with me. We drop our fish into the ocean. Its latex skin containing the water within. Let's imagine that the water inside of the balloon is dense enough that the thing sinks, or maybe a diver carries it down. regardless, our little water balloon gets deeper and deeper into the ocean. As it goes down, the water outside pushes harder and harder on the water inside. The water inside, being water, refuses to be squished, and so the balloon does not change shape. The little latex skin can't break simply because it has nowhere to break *to*. It's being pushed inwards - there's no reason for it to tear since tearing only happens when it's stretched. So, the balloon sinks mostly unphased by the growing change in pressure.

 Differences between liquid detergent with powder detergent?

Detergents are basically all the same. They are surfactants that help water lift and remove dirt from your clothing. The primary difference is only in the mechanism by which the detergent is stored. Powdered detergents have all the moisture removed, making it more compact and easier/cheaper to store and transport. Liquid detergents are primarily water, which means you are paying for the use, storage, and transport of water. This is why liquid detergents are more expensive. There are other subtle differences between detergent brands, mostly in the form of additives. But for a single brand (like Tide), there is no real difference in the cleaning power between powder, liquid, or tablets.

 whats bad about popping your neck?

*Once you pop, you can't stop* The sound and feeling from popping a joint is caused by compressed gas in the joint getting released. It's usually not harmful if there is no swelling or pain after popping. However, if you get used to the feeling of having your joints popped, you'll always want to keep popping them to maintain the "popped" state. This can be distracting or even off-putting if you constantly try to twist your neck when doing things or interacting with others.

 What actually happened with Julius Caesar , and what's it so important?

The short version he's was a Roman general who, following some very complicated politics, waged war on Rome, took it over, and indirectly after his death abolished the Roman republic and caused the founding of the Roman empire, forever altering the course of western civilization. Ceasar took what he saw as a divided and weakening Rome and passed a series of reforms to strengthen Rome and it's centralized power. For the most part he succeeded and was immensely popular with the middle and lower classes. His reforms meant that nearly all the political power in the Republic was vested in him, making him a de facto emperor even if that was mostly to allow him to pass his reforms and restructure the country to his will without having to compromise with the opposition. He was assassinated by the Roman senate, where some 60 aristocrats and senators inflicted 23 stab wounds to Caesar. The ensuing civil unrest and civil wars ended up dismantling the Republic and caused Augustus, Caesars designated heir, to assume the position of Roman emperor. The principle assassins of Caesar all ended up murdered, executed, or in exile.

 How is it that an individual ant is not at all intelligent, but large groups can have very complex behaviors?

It's called emergent behavior. Take something simple like a single fish, ant, or bird that follows pretty standard behaviors and group them all together. What you end up with is a mass of organisms following simple rules but together acting in larger patterns. Chemtrails for ants, current matching for schools of fish, aerodynamic patterns for bird flocks. You can even see it in mathematics. For example draw three circles anywhere on a piece of paper then draw a random dot. Continue drawing dots halfway between your last dot and any of the three circles at random. You might be surprised what complexity emerges after a few hundred dots. (Sierpinski's triangle)

 Can someone explain money laundering?

Let's say that you're a drug dealer. You make money illegally by selling drugs. You're rich, BUT you have a problem. If you want to make a large transaction, like buying a house or a car, you need to go through a bank. And the bank has to check where you got your money from, to make sure that you're not a criminal. If a bank has reason to suspect that you're making your money from crime, they'll ask the police to investigate. So, if you want to spend your "dirty" money that you made through crime, you need to "clean" it. Traditionally, a laundromat was a good way of doing this. You would buy a laundromat, or become partners with the owner of a laundromat. Then, you'd lie and claim that the money you earned by selling drugs was actually profit that your laundromat made. Now, the bank will go "You made this money legally, good for you!" and let you use that money to get a fancy house or car. Many money laundering tricks are more complicated ways of making it seem that a business is really profitable when really it's not, so that you can pretend that it's earning enough money that the banks won't get suspicious. Because if you earned $1 million selling drugs, but claim that you made it with a week's work at your laundromat, the bank will go "No, that can't be true. We're getting the police to investigate you."

 How are people able to fast for long periods at a time yet stay healthy?

Fasting can be a pretty flexible term, especially when used in a religious context. The people who “fast for 365 days” are eliminating a specific thing, like red meat or bread, for a specific duration, and many of them rotate that “thing” every week or month. So they say they’re fasting, but really they are going without bread for one month, then without soda for a month, then without red meat for a month, etc. This demonstrates personal determination and commitment, but it’s hardly going without food altogether.

 Why does Wikipedia's donation-based business model work in an Internet where the other top 10 most popular websites have advertising-based business models?

Because Wikipedia got big enough fast enough to become a cultural icon and survive. It relies on massive amounts of *free labor* and small donations. That's not something that, say, Google can rely on to make search results more accurate. And the key to getting *free labor* is to be very, very popular, to be a cultural icon, that everyone wants to be a part of. Similar to the way PBS came into existence, and relies mostly on donated television shows and viewer donations, and can never be replicated. Because the very, very fragile conditions that allowed it to come into existence and survive no longer exist. Anyone trying to create a PBS2 or a Wikipedia2 would be laughed out of the house. But because they already exist they can keep existing out of sheer inertial.

The main reason is because they jointly run a massive philanthropic network.

It's not as if their divorce itself would send markets into turmoil, it's the business implications of said divorce.

 Why is it bad to drink alcohol if you're diabetic?

1. with diabetes you have to worry about blood sugar that is too high and also too low. A little bit of alcohol may raise your blood sugar, but a lot will lower your blood sugar, possibly to dangerous levels. This can be especially significant if you've just taken your diabetes medication to lower your blood sugar. 2. When you drink a lot of alcohol, it makes your liver have to focus on processing it and not on regulating your glucose levels 3. You shouldn't drink alcohol on an empty stomach, so you may eat more if you drink alcohol. But also you may forget to eat at all if you are drinking, which messes up your blood sugar. Basically, you may not make good decisions when you're drunk. You'll need to check your blood sugar level if you're drinking a bunch, but you may forget if you're drunk or tipsy 4. Being drunk can mimic the symptoms of blood sugar that is too low, so if you do get low blood sugar, you may not realize it and you could pass out and die.

 Why does naturally occurring things like flower petals, galaxies etc are shaped in Fibonacci spiral??

They mostly don't. This is a somewhat mythical belief. Many sequences of numbers would generate similar "spiral" arrangements if plotted on a graph. The Fibonacci is the most widely known but is not very unique in that sense. Others relate the Fibonacci to the Golden Ratio etc but it is also known that there are infinitely many sequences where the ratio of sequential terms converge to the Golden ratio. It is good to understand it. But (AFAIK) the Fibonacci sequence is just the most famous of what is almost a class of sequences. [ URL_0 ]( URL_1 )

2 separate atmospheric metrics are in play here. Temperature, like we are all familiar with, and dew point: the temperature at which the moisture contained in normal, clear air condenses and forms tiny droplets (visible moisture, like fog or clouds). As you rise in altitude, starting at ground level, the temperature decreases at a rate of roughly 2 degrees Celsius, or about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit, per thousand feet of altitude, while the dew point stays roughly the same. This means that the spread between temperature and dew point gets smaller and smaller, until the point at which they meet, and visible moisture forms (ie clouds). This is why it’s possible to make fairly accurate predictions about where the base of clouds will form, and why they tend to be, a lot of times, pretty level at the base. Once the warm, rising air becomes cooled and condensed air, it becomes denser than the warm rising air beneath it, and reaches its peak altitude before settling back down. This creates a cyclical motion within the clouds that give them their puffy, pillowy look. This is obviously a simple concept that applies mostly to fair weather, cumulus clouds, which I picture when you phrased the question as you did. The truth is that weather systems are very, very complex and are worthy of some people’s entire specific careers. Hope this helps.

 if the USA has anti-trust laws to prevent monopolies, why do they allow mergers and acquisitions to happen without restraint until a monopoly is formed?

The stuff you’re mentioning does not qualify as a monopoly in its legal definition. In general, in order to prevent an acquisition from happening on antitrust grounds, you need to prove that consumers would be worse off if it happened. For some of this stuff it’s really hard to argue - does it matter to the American consumer whether Bethesda is an independent studio or owned by Microsoft? It probably doesn’t, in fact it might be better for the consumer if Microsoft owns Bethesda since they might make their games more accessible and cheaper by bundling them with other Microsoft services.

 How does "cold" spicy, like mint, and hot spicy work on our tastebuds?

Cold spicy things like mint have a chemical called menthol that binds to the cold sensors in your mouth and activates them directly. So, even if your mouth isn't cold, it feels like it is. Similarly, hot spicy things have a chemical called capsaicin that does the same thing but for your heat sensors.

 When cooking pasta, why do you have to let the water boil before putting in the pasta, why can't you do it right away?

Pasta is wheat based, has lots of plant fats called starch, which make it delicious. However, this same starch turns into a goopy glue like substance when added to water. By adding it in when the water is boiling it reduces the time the starches can turn to goop. The boiling heat seals the outside of the pasta which keeps starch from getting out. All this makes it easier to keep your pasta from sticking together.

 If zero calorie sodas exist, why not zero calorie snack foods? Whats stopping those from existing?

There are chemicals that taste like sugar, and high calorie soda is mostly water. Most snack foods are made of something, like corn, that has calories itself. You can have diet soda by putting chemicals in water. You can't put chemicals in air to make diet potato chips because the chip itself has lots of calories in it's potato cells.

 Why does a paste like mix of Bicarbonate of soda and Vinegar remove red wine stains?

Baking soda itself is sort of magic. It deodorizes, reacts smoothly with heavy acids, buffers well. Works as toothpaste, Hydrophilic, If there is a major chemical spill the first thing the government does is dump a literal ton baking soda on it. Vinegar is acidic and colorless, also polar. The way you remove something from a surface is by either goving the spill something better to stick to, of the carpet something better to stick to it. Thermodynamically speaking you need to give it somewhere nice to go. The powdered, water absorbing base, buffer salts created, and aqueous acid cover most of the bases and are all colorless. So the whine jumped at the vinegar/baking soda mix and jumped to it, then it was off the carpet and good to go. Baking soda is magic.

 why does repetitive hand movement such as typing cause damage, while repetitive use of other muscles makes them stronger?

Your fingers are controlled by tendons while your arms are controlled mainly by muscles. Tendons can possibly damage over long-term use, while muscles regenerate after microtears and get stronger. Muscles have a type of regeneration that adapts to heavier things over time. Tendons, not so much.

 How much of the Earth's total sky is visible from a single spot on Earth?

Depends on where you mean by sky. You would have a field of vision of about 3 miles to the low level horizon. However you could see a plane traveling at several times that. The "sky" is 250 miles thick so looking at that same horizon you could argue that it's roughly 253 miles away. If you're discussing seeing stars the sky is 50% roughly of what can be seen from anywhere on earth. Slightly more if you were on a mountain.

 How does the top of a baseball bat caving in affect batter’s swing?

Having the end cupped in allows for more balance to the bat and the manufacturer can use a harder or more dense piece of wood. It also takes a little bit of weight off the top of the bat and so the person swinging can swing faster. When you swing faster, you can hit the ball harder, which then causes the ball to travel faster and further.

 Why does vibrato "sound good?"

Here are a few things i can think of - vibrato hides some pitch problems. With a straight pitch, intonation is more obvious - it gives the music more "texture", so theres more to listen for - vibrato is variable (in speed, pitch distance, etc), which allows more expression without changing the notes of a piece. - this is more theoretical, but i believe that music ultimately derives from the human voice/language, so adding vibrato may sound more natural/emotional than the "perfection" of straight tones. Source: about to graduate with a music degree.

 How did we come to the conclusion that gravity has the same speed as light?

We measured it. By which I mean we measured both the gravity and light coming off a stellar collision and found that the difference could be explained by the vacuum of space being very slightly imperfect so the light wasn't going at the speed of light in a vacuum, while the gravity was. Since the collision happened 130 million lightyear away/years ago and the light and gravity arrived only 1.7 seconds apart, there really isn't any better explanation available than that they were going at basically the same speed.

 Musicians. Mixolydian scales, why the hell do they exist?

A musical scale is defined not so much by the notes it contains, but by the tones or semitones between each place in the scale. A typical major scale might be: *C major: C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F (tone) G (tone) A (tone) B (semitone) C* Comparatively, a typical minor scale might be: *A minor: A (tone) B (semitone) C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F (tone) G (tone) A* Although C major and A minor use the same notes as each other, the difference in order means that there is a different order of tones and semitones between the notes. A minor is the "relative minor" of C major (just as C major is the "relative major" of A minor) because they use the same notes as each other. C major and F major will both have the same pattern of tones and semitones between the notes, even though the order of the notes (and indeed, some of the notes) differ: *C major: C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F (tone) G (tone) A (tone) B (semitone) C* *F major:* *F (tone) G (tone) A (semitone) Bb (tone) C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F* However, when you play C major and introduce a Bb instead of a normal B, you get this new order: *C mixolydian: C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F (tone) G (tone) A (semitone) Bb (tone) C* *F major:* *F (tone) G (tone) A (semitone) Bb (tone) C (tone) D (tone) E (semitone) F* When you compare that to F major, even though they both use the same notes as each other, you can see that the pattern of tones and semitones is different. So, in summary, a mixolydian scale is different from a major and a minor scale due to the pattern of tones and semitones. Because different patterns result in different sounds which might be more appropriate for different musical purposes, you might find one or other scale slightly more appropriate at different times. *Major scale: (tone) (tone) (semitone) (tone) (tone) (tone) (semitone)* *Minor scale: (tone) (semitone) (tone) (tone) (semitone) (tone) (tone)* *Mixolydian scale: (tone) (tone) (semitone) (tone) (tone) (semitone) (tone)* It is more complicated than that, but this might be suitable for a simple explanation!

 Why should different battery types and brands not be mixed?

You shouldnt mix different battery chemistries in a device you intend to recharge as different battery chemistries require different voltage/currents when charging, and a charger will only be able to charge all the batteries as a whole, leading to some of them being charged incorrectly, which can range in severity from meh to house fire. I personally dont buy into the idea that you shouldnt mix brands, as long as they have the same chemistry

 Why do singers, actors and athletes make more money and are worshipped more than those who actually contribute to society such as scientists, engineers, doctors and researchers?

It's just a matter of what people value and what they spend money on. Our economy is a capitalist one so basically if it brings in money the person or people get paid big to do it. Teachers dont get paid a ton because people see education as an entitlement. One outlier to your argument is doctor. They do good and get paid very well, the flip side, however, is inner city doctors where they're needed the most and are under the most stress, get paid less than suburban doctors and they get paid less than rural doctors. That's just a matter of supply and demand.

 How do we know some numbers, like Pi are endless, instead of just a very long number?

Pi is an irrational number. This means pi cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. There are many proofs to show pi is irrational. but they are all pretty involved, and not really ELI5. There is a [wiki page on it]( URL_0 ). One of the properties of *all* irrational numbers (not just pi) is that they will always have non-ending and non-repeating decimal parts. The proof for this is much easier, but I'll work through a specific example, and the proof is just the general version of it. ---- Proving irrational numbers must NOT end or repeat is the same as showing that every decimal that DOES end or repeat is not irrational (i.e. is rational). EDIT to clarify 'repeating': By repeating I mean that eventually the decimals have a repeating sequence of digits, and once the repeating starts it goes on forever. So 1.9876456456... doesn't repeat in the beginning, but eventually has the repeating "456" forever (and so it rational). And 1.2222229037... does repeat in the beginning, but eventually stops (so is irrational). If the decimal ends: Say x = 14.4245. Multiply by 10^4 = 10000 to get rid of the decimal part. You get 144245. To get the original number back, just divide again by 10^4: 144245/10000. Since both the numerator and denominator are integers, the original number was rational. You can generalize this to show any decimal that ends is rational by multiplying and dividing by the appropriate power of 10 to ger rid of the decimal part. If the decimal never ends, but repeats: Say x = 14.5124874874874... (the 874 keeps repeating). Then 10^4 * x = 145124.874874... (so only the repeating part is after the decimal) and 10^7 * x = 145124874.874874... (so there is just one repeating pattern before decimal) Then subtract: 10^(7)x - 10^(4)x = 145124874.874874... - 145124.874874... x * (10^7 - 10^(4)) = 145124874.874874... - 145124.874874... x = (145124874.874874... - 145124.874874...) / (10^7 - 10^4) Since the numerator is an integer (the decimal parts are the same and so subtract away), and the denominator is an integer, x is a rational number. You can generalize this to show that any decimal that has a repeating part is rational by multiplying by the appropriate powers of 10.

 How do new currency counterfeit prevention measures work if we still accept old currency? Can't counterfeiters just make fakes of old currency?

If you make a fake of an old currency that hasn't been made in 10 years, then it would be new 'old currency' and people would be more likely to notice it was fake. Because when was the last time you saw a crisp brand new 10 year old bill. So then you have to artificially age the fake currency, but that is adding extra steps meaning spending more money and time making fake money. That makes it less profitable to make counterfeit money.

 Why is punching through a wall or smashing a glass object so much more satisfying than squeezing something like a stress ball when you're angry?

When we're angry and/or stressed, it's often because we feel as though we don't have control over our circumstances. So by physically destroying inanimate objects, we are exerting control of our own over those items, reminding ourselves that we do have power and capability, even if that power to smash something fragile doesn't actually fix the original problem.

 Why is social isolation bad for a person ?

Human brains are very complicated and have caused us to stray from our primal instincts, but our primsl instincts still have a great deal of influence in how we behave. Recent research suggests that humans are humans BECAUSE we were the most predisposed towards social interaction and cooperation. We weren't necessarily the biggest, strongest or even smartest version of "humans" but we were the ones who knew how to work together and that gave us a huge evolutionary advantage when we went through the "genetic bottleneck". Humans are what we are today because we survive on social interaction. Again, modern humans brains have developed so much that we don't always act on our instincts (nor should we), but social interaction and cooperation is in our nature to ensure our survival.

 what does it mean when food is processed and why is it considered unhealthy?

"Processed" is an umbrella term which can mean many things, so it's easier to define "unprocessed." Unprocessed food is that which comes straight from the source; e.g. an apple or an unshucked ear of corn on the cob. "Processed" means the food has been modified in some way. A few examples of processed food: * Oatmeal (it has been shelled and either cut or flattened by machinery) * Steak (it has been sliced) * Applesauce (an unprocessed apple has been cooked, blended, and possibly mixed with other things) * Wheat flour (wheat has been ground; in some cases filtered and bleached) * Candy bar (too many processes to mention) When people talk about "processed food" from a nutrition perspective, they typically mean *heavily processed* food like that candy bar. Some processes are unhealthy. For instance, cooking foods can destroy vitamins and fiber; a raw, unprocessed apple is probably going to be better for you than that same apple processed into applesauce. Some processes, like deep-frying, may introduce unwanted chemicals (high-calorie fat and some carcinogens created by high temperatures). Other processes, like slicing meat into steaks, have little to no impact on the health quality of the food. Some processes may even make food *healthier* - for instance, raw wheat is not very digestible, and raw wheat flour may contain salmonella. By processing it into bread, we create a safe and easy-to-digest product. Talking about "processed foods" is an imprecise way to discuss nutrition, and it's advisable to be wary about it. If someone says "avoid processed foods," you should ask yourself "what processes specifically should be avoided?" But again, let's not be pedants here. We know that when people talk about unhealthy processed food, they generally mean very heavily processed things with many ingredients like a candy bar.

 How does a Swiss bank account work?

As others are pointing out they work just like any other bank. What you're *really* asking about is Swiss law governing banking privacy. Swiss banks have very strict disclosure laws making it very unlikely someone will learn about it, even in a criminal investigation. It's a serious offense for a Swiss banker to disclose information on a customer. So, if you're going to (safely) park some money you don't want anyone to find out about, a Swiss bank is about the best way to do it.

Acid can dissolve things. Melting adds heat to initiate a phase change, acid acts as a solvent.

The thermodynamics as for the why is a bit harder and may be better for r/askscience

 How does "double-jumping" on a trampoline work?

Double jumping occurs when you are jumping on the trampoline with another person and the jumps are timed in such a way that the stored energy of two people landing at the same time is converted to kinetic energy and applied to a single person. Basically, both people land, applying the weight of both bodies, but one person removes their weight first, basically doubling the rebound effect of the trampoline on the second person causing them to get bounced much higher.

The hospital can send it to collections. If they think they can get any sort of money out of you they may sue you and get a court order to garnish wages or force the sale of some assets. If you're, say, a broke homeless person that won't ever likely have significant money they won't bother and will just eat the loss.

 Why do men appear to have a "stitch line" or "scar line" at the base of their ballsac?

From wiki: The [perineal raphe] ( URL_6 ) is a visible line or ridge of tissue on the human body that extends from the [anus]( URL_0 ) through the [perineum]( URL_5 ). It is found in both males and females, and arises from the fusion of the urogenital folds. In males, this structure continues through the midline of the [scrotum]( URL_3 ) (scrotal raphe) and upwards through the posterior midline aspect of the [penis]( URL_4 ) (penile raphe). It also exists deeper through the scrotum where it is called the [scrotal septum]( URL_1 ). It is the result of a [fetal]( URL_2 ) developmental phenomenon whereby the scrotum and penis close toward the midline and fuse.

 If most countries have a huge national debt, where do they go to borrow?

They issue bonds which people can buy, and which will the government will pay back at some point in the future. Because government debt is low risk and bonds pay fixed interest they are bought by investors who want low risk. That typically means pension funds, maybe insurance companies.

 How exactly do solar panels work?

Solar panels are made of many photovoltaic cells linked together. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. They do this by allowing little particles of light, called photons, to knock electrons free from atoms. When these electrons are knocked free/separate from the atom, this generates a flow of electricity. How this works is the photovoltaic cells are made of semi-conducting material (like silicone. Semi-conducting refers to how well the material conducts electricity. We say “semi” because it isn’t the best conductor nor is it the best resistor, it falls in between, which makes it more versatile). This semi-conducting material is stacked on top of each other in two layers, which together are called the photovoltaic cell. Each layer of the semi-conducting material is given an opposite electrical charge (one positive and one negative), which produces an electrical field (did you ever do the experiment in school as a kid where you took two magnets, one positive and one negative, and tried to make them touch but they pushed back? That was because of a magnetic field. Electrical fields are the same, but with electricity). Now that we have an electrical field, the sun gets added in. Light has a physical form, called photons (light particles). The photons hit the solar panels and the photovoltaic cells that make up the solar panel. When they do this, the photons don’t just go through the panels, instead they knock electrons free of the photovoltaic cells. These electrons get caught in the electrical field and pushed out of the junction of the semi-conductive material. These electrons get forced by the electrical field to conductive metal plates on the side of the solar panel. They are then transferred to wires, at which point they’re like any other kind of electricity.

 Why is it that you can bench a weight that you've been doing for a while decently enough, but when you add 5 more pounds (for the first time) you find it infinitely harder and your muscles shake and shudder even though it's just a small addition of weight ?

Imagine your NATURAL strength are like an empty glass, and water is your weight. You start by pouring in until the glass is half full. That's easy. Aw man, you say. This'll be a cinch. Right off the bat, I can already pour SO MUCH WATER into the cup. Next day, you pour even more in. It's starting to get full, but you can still handle it. The next few days go by more and more with stable progress. All's going well so far. That is, until you hit the height of your natural strength. Now, your glass is full. Even the smallest drop will make it overflow and dribble down the side. But I could fit so much water before! you wonder. Well, no. Because _now_, you're trying to lift more but you've reached yout natural peak. So unless you make the glass itself taller, and deeper, you can't just start dumping in water like you did before. And lengthening that glass takes a LOT of effort and time. Your muscle strength will grow, over time, but only proportionately. Once you reach your weight limit, you won't just be able to chuck on weight like you did before, and any tiny increase will spill over and make your nads shake.

Fasting before the blood test is necessary so they do them in the mornings as you aren't eating at night and don't have to fast during the day. I have about as much knowledge on this as the average Joe but I'm assuming this is the reason

 why is the "time spent in America" different for fathers and mother when trying to give their foreign born child U.S. citizenship?

The reduced requirement for unmarried mothers was intended to reduce the number of children born stateless. If a child has one US citizen parent who has spent little time in the US, it is likely that the child was born in the other parent's home country and will be eligible for citizenship there. Congress did not wish to grant US citizenship in this situation unless the citizen parent had demonstrated a strong connection to the US. However, children born to unmarried parents were likely to be ineligible to inherit their father's citizenship in many cases, leaving them stateless if the US was unwilling to grant them citizenship via the mother.
