Is the Large Hadron Collider dangerous? No. Although powerful for an accelerator, the energy reached in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is modest by nature’s standards. What would happen if the Hadron Collider exploded? Given the amount of energy that Nature has stored in the matter of your body, your detonation would change the course […]
What did Japan want in WWII?
What did Japan want in WWII? Faced with severe shortages of oil and other natural resources and driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia.

What are the three types of adaptations?
What are the three types of adaptations? There are three different types of adaptations: Behavioural – responses made by an organism that help it to survive/reproduce. Physiological – a body process that helps an organism to survive/reproduce. Structural – a feature of an organism’s body that helps it to survive/reproduce. How does cactus and camel […]
What is the importance of ribosomes?
What is the importance of ribosomes? Ribosomes facilitate the synthesis of proteins in cells (i.e., translation) (see Figs. 1-1 and 1-3). Their function is to “translate” information encoded in mRNA into polypeptide chains of amino acids that make up proteins. There are two types of ribosomes, free and fixed (also known as membrane bound). How […]
What is the formula for calculating thickness?
What is the formula for calculating thickness? We obtain the thickness of the solid by dividing its volume by its length and its width; that is, we divide 24 cm3 by 4 cm and 3 cm. In this example, the thickness of the solid is 2 cm. Example Exercise 3.10 further illustrates finding the thickness […]
What does the L mean on a weather map?
What does the L mean on a weather map? low pressure What symbols are commonly found on a weather map? These often include temperature, dew point (a measure of humidity), wind speed, wind direction, present weather, barometric pressure and pressure tendency (is it rising or falling?), cloud cover, and many others. What is a key […]
How do you describe an irregular galaxy?
How do you describe an irregular galaxy? An irregular galaxy is the catchall name given to any galaxy that does not neatly fit into one of the categories of the Hubble classification scheme. They have no defined shape nor structure and may have formed from collisions, close encounters with other galaxies or violent internal activity. […]
Why is the corona hotter?
Why is the corona hotter? Nanojets are thought to be initiated by a process called ‘magnetic reconnection’, where twisted magnetic fields explosively realign. One such reconnection can set off another, resulting in an avalanche of nanojets in the Sun’s corona, which is then thought to generate enough energy to heat the corona. What triggers lightning? […]
