Is anyone lost in space? A total of 18 people have lost their lives either while in space or in preparation for a space mission, in four separate incidents. Given the risks involved in space flight, this number is surprisingly low. The two worst disasters both involved NASA’s space shuttle. What are the risks of […]

Can Methanol hydrogen bond with itself?
Can Methanol hydrogen bond with itself? Methanol is certainly similar to formaldehyde in some ways. It is these strong hydrogen bonds that are responsible for the relatively high boiling point of methanol; there is so much positive charge on the hydrogen of the OH group that it can essentially form a real bond with the […]
Can light be a reference frame?
Can light be a reference frame? In all reference frames that actually exist, light travels through space and time in a normal way just like any other object. According to Special Relativity, as a frame goes faster, it shortens more in the direction of motion, relative to the stationary observer. How did Einstein know that […]
Which is the densest of all layers?
Which is the densest of all layers? inner core What are the 4 layers of earth? Starting at the center, Earth is composed of four distinct layers. They are, from deepest to shallowest, the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust. Except for the crust, no one has ever explored these layers […]
What are the sources of error in this experiment?
What are the sources of error in this experiment? You are measuring against a standard, using an instrument that can never perfectly duplicate the standard, plus you’re human, so you might introduce errors based on your technique. The three main categories of errors are systematic errors, random errors, and personal errors. What is meant by […]
What are the negative effects of the atmosphere?
What are the negative effects of the atmosphere? Acid rain, climate change and smog all damage the Earth surface. Contaminated water and gases seep into the earth, changing the composition of soils. That directly affects agriculture, changing crop cycles and the composition of the food we all eat. How do humans affect the atmosphere? Humans […]
Why does rain make me feel safe?
Why does rain make me feel safe? Studies have found that when rain sounds enters people’s brain, brain unconsciously relaxes and produces alpha waves, which are very close to the state of brain when human sleeps. Rain sound is generally between 0 and 20 kHz. It is not upsetting. On the contrary, this sound makes […]
