Can I have my ashes sent to the Moon? The Luna service places the Celestis spacecraft carrying cremated remains or DNA on the surface of our nearest neighbor — the Moon — creating a permanent memorial on a distant, but constantly viewable world. How much is a space burial? Celestis also has cheaper packages at […]
Will humans ever travel to another galaxy?
Will humans ever travel to another galaxy? The technology required to travel between galaxies is far beyond humanity’s present capabilities, and currently only the subject of speculation, hypothesis, and science fiction. However, theoretically speaking, there is nothing to conclusively indicate that intergalactic travel is impossible. What is the fastest we can travel in space? By […]
What era of the universe are we in?
What era of the universe are we in? Stelliferous Era This is the current era, in which matter is arranged in the form of stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters, and most energy is produced in stars. Stars will be the most dominant objects of the universe in this era. Massive stars use up their fuel […]
How can electric force be reduced?
How can electric force be reduced? Inverse relationships are common in nature. In electrostatics, the electrical force between two charged objects is inversely related to the distance of separation between the two objects. Increasing the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. What are the 2 factors the […]
What is the impact of plastic on marine life?
What is the impact of plastic on marine life? The most visible and disturbing impacts of marine plastics are the ingestion, suffocation and entanglement of hundreds of marine species. Marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fishes and turtles, mistake plastic waste for prey, and most die of starvation as their stomachs are filled with plastic […]
What happens when a hot body and cold body are kept in contact with each other?
What happens when a hot body and cold body are kept in contact with each other? Thermal energy is moved from hot spots to cold spots by convection. Convection happens when hotter territories of a fluid or gas ascend to cooler regions in the fluid or gas. Cooler fluid or gas at that point replaces […]
What does the acronym laser mean group of answer choices?
What does the acronym laser mean group of answer choices? A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term “laser” originated as an acronym for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. What does the acronym laser stands for? Light […]
Is our food system sustainable?
Is our food system sustainable? In terms of environmental sustainability, our current global food system accounts roughly for 12.8 percent of our total global greenhouse gas emissions, and its contribution as a sector to climate change is quite significant. What are some examples of sustainable food systems? For example: Polycultural Permaculture systems that are desalinating […]
Is electronegativity affected by effective nuclear charge?
Is electronegativity affected by effective nuclear charge? Electronegativity is how much an atom pulls in electrons. If there are a lot of shielding electrons, outer electrons won’t be drawn towards the nucleus due to the low effective nuclear charge, and so electronegativity will be low. Effective nuclear charge is directly proportional to electronegativity. Does Zeff […]
Why do guys name their cars girl names?
Why do guys name their cars girl names? One theory is that the habit carried over from men’s habit of calling ships “she” and naming ships after women, most often goddesses in ancient times. Similarly, when men became dependant on motor vehicles, they were an ornament of pride and cared for with great attention by […]
