 Why does chocolate milk last longer than regular milk?

If you take a look at the ingredient label on chocolate milk, you'll not that it's nit just "Milk" and "Cocoa". There's a whole bunch of other things in there. This changes the environment in which bacteria could develop, which is what makes milk go bad. There's also so much sugar in there that, frankly, you might not *notice* if it goes bad.

 How are well known illegal TV streaming sites able to stay up?

These sites do one of two things. They operate in a jurisdiction where it would be difficult to shut them down. If they are ever actually shut down, they simply create a new site and port everything over. It's usually a game of whack-a-mole. With law enforcement trying to shut them down but the sites simply coming back up with a new domain name.

 What does 'dry aging' meat actually do?

It's essentially controlled decay. By letting the meat age in a controlled environment, the meat itself begins to break down in advantageous ways. Collagen is broken down by enzymes that affect flavor and feel. Longer the meat ages, the more moisture is drawn from the meat. The more moisture that is drawn from the meat, the more 'flavor' will be left concentrated in the meat that is left dehydrated.

 How do snake bellies stretch so much when they eat?

Snakes have between 200-400 vertebrae with as many ribs attached! That is what makes them so flexible and helps them move along! All those bones and the strong muscles protect the internal organs. The throat of the snake takes up the front one-third of the body. It leads to a really long stomach, which, like the throat, will stretch to the size of whatever the snake is eating.

 what are the typical day-to-day roles of a Vice President of the United States?

This *really* depends on the administration. On paper, the *only* actual responsibilities of the VP are to cast a tie breaking vote in the senate, and to step in for the president in the event of death or illness. That’s it. Historically, VPs have done many varied things. Gore did quite a lot of environmental work. Cheney was basically shadow president, calling a lot of the shots. Biden assisted with foreign policy and with the Ebola epidemic a lot. Pence has been mainly a policy communicator.

 how do we know what's under the crust?

By looking at the stuff that bubbles up through features like volcanoes. We can also use data from seismic measurements around the world. As the energy produced by earthquakes moves it will deflect as it goes through areas of different density. By collecting data from all over the world we can get a pretty good idea of the depths of different layers. We can also measure meteorites in our solar system older than the earth's crust to get an idea of the likely composition of the earth.

 Does one experiences pain if he is shot on the head(brain) before he dies? Similarly if one beheaded does he feel pain at all? Could the severed head see body and the sorroundings?

Whether a person can stay conscious after being decapitated has been an open question for a long time. There was a scientist who was decapitated in France and arranged with a friend to blink his eyes as much as possible post guillotine to prove that a person was still conscious. That was Antoine Lavoisier. Allegedly he blinked a lot. But it’s somewhat dubious. Then there was Henri Languille’s case. He allegedly responded to his name and looked conscious. But this was just one guy’s observation. There’s no good data or proof. Any consciousness would likely be for only a couple of seconds because the sudden drop in blood pressure in the brain would render a person unconscious immediately or almost immediately.

 How did currency exchange rates form in the very beginning?

Countries often initially had their currencies locked to a precious metal (typically gold or silver). For example pound sterling (GBP) derives its name from when 20 shillings was literally a pound of sterling silver, under Anglo-saxon rule. These are pretty easily exchangeable because the international value of that coin is its metal content.

 What is object oriented programming all about and why is it so good ?

All programming languages fall on a scale from "computer logic" to "human logic." Machine code, for example, which is essentially binary (1's and 0's) and assembly language are as close as you can get to a computer's "native tongue" of sorts. On the other hand, a scripting language, such as python or ruby, follows a human-centric understanding of how things are processed, by going from task A to B to C and so on. The closer you get to the "computer logic" side of programming, the easier and quicker a program will run, but it's harder for a programmer to wrap their head around the process. Object oriented languages is a sort of middleground if you will that makes programs run relatively fast while still being somewhat intermediate in terms of difficulty. The way OO languages work is by compartmentalizing processes, called-tasks, and constructors into their own "objects" within the code. The first "object" that runs by default is called "main," and it can call other objects to run within itself, which can use variables as arguments so that a different result can be passed through the same object process. Think kf it like a calculator: every type of process from multiplication, subtraction, and so on is called from "main" once the "equals" button is pressed, and the arguments are the numbers in the equation. Hope that helps, OP! Bachelor's grad in CIS/App Development here.

 What are nanotubes, and what are Their purposes?

They are incredibly small structures in the shape of tubes or pipes, made of various nano-scale components. They're used for pipes to transport other nano particles, or in electrical insulation and conduction. Some are very strong due to their shape and composition, far stronger than the same materials in a less organized state. Structures made of them would be vastly stronger than current materials, to the piont where we could build things in a way that are impossible at the moment. They are currently extremely expensive to synthesize in large amounts, and its not economical to really use them for any practical purposes. Some can form naturally, but never in a way that is especially helpful.

 Irrational Numbers - How do we know?

An equivalent statement to saying a number has a finite set of digits or has a repeating decimal expansion is to say it can be represented as a fraction. It can be proven that a number can't be represented by a/b where a and b are non-zero integers and a and b's greatest common factor is one (that is, where a/b is a fraction that is fully reduced). Take the square root of 2 for example. If we assume that there exists some a and b such that a/b meets the definition above and equals the square root of 2, [it can be shown]( URL_0 ) that a and b must both be even. If a and b are both even, their greatest common factor is 2, not 1. This means that two of our conditions, that a/b is a reduced fraction and that a/b equals square root of two contradict one another. No a and b can satisfy both conditions (square root of 2 is irrational).

Body cells dont work that way. Our cells have their own internal systems which maintain the concentration of different molecules which enter or leave it. Just like a human would not turn salty just by being in the sea for a day. Same with every living organism. The cellular composition does not change courtesy of ionic pumps that maintain ionic concentrations at the physiological levels in the cell.

 Why can't we just copy and paste a code for a videogame from a certain platform to another platform instead of rewriting it?

Code languages are an abstraction, a way to tell another program called a compiler what order to put the 1s and 0s in when actually writing and executing the code. Different hardware has different compilers which handle things differently. For most applications this doesn't matter, but for video game consoles which are trying to maximize game experience for minimum cost, the limitations of the hardware matter a lot. A game meant to run with a certain amount of dedicated graphics processing just won't work with less, and might not work with more if the more is structured differently.

I am a mailman. I know the guy that delivers to my house. He's handed me some of my mail before. Mailmen have 2 main types of mail. Sorted letters and unsorted letters/magazines/whatever. When you're in the office you sort all of the loose mail into a case. When you're on the street you're putting the presorted and self sorted stuff into the boxes. The majority of mail is presorted, so you'd be at your box anyways before you saw it.

 If you can get the same degree from any college, why does it matter which college you go to?

You're paying for 3 main things in my opinion. The quality of the educator. Your professors at a lower tier school may just know how to regurgitate the information they know back at you where a top tier school will have you being taught by professors and doctoral candidates who are currently contributing to the field. The quality of the labs/facilities. I can get a physics degree from Sacramento State and UC Berkeley but only one of those schools owns a functioning nuclear reactor. The relationships you will foster while attending the school. The more prestigious the school the more prestigious the people who you will be attending with. My degree from Sacramento State will get me work sure, but I did not meet anyone important with connections in government/industry. The people you will meet at a top tier school can get your foot in the door if your grades don't exactly set you apart.

 Why are simple things such as popping your fingers so addicting?

I mean for me, popping my fingers relieves a little bit of tension in them. I can *feel* that little bit of pressure that makes my fingers stiff to move, and popping them relieves that pressure. That audible pop is satisfying too. Little things like that are addicting because its removing discomfort and rewards us with a little teeny bit of dopamine. I've also noticed that if I'm feeling extra anxious or stressed I try to crack my fingers *a LOT* more than usual. Probably related.

 When people die of old age, what causes their body to shut down seemingly spontaneously - what is the trigger that results in the body deciding that this is the end?

Death from old age is a legal classification, not a medical one. It means than an elderly person passed away without any suspicious circumstances, and no purpose is served by investigating further. They die of *something*, heart failure, stroke, asphyxiation, it is just not terribly important to figure out exactly what.

 How does a breathalyzer test accurately measure someone's blood alcohol content? Since a breathalyzer is an oral test how does this device measure the content of alcohol in your blood?

The key to a breath test is Henry's Law. While Henry's Law doesn't have to do, specifically, with alcohol, for the purposes of alcohol breath testing all you need to know is that Henry's Law basically says that at any given temperature, the ratio between the concentration of alcohol in the blood and that in the alveolar air in the lungs is constant. The easy way to think of Henry's Law is a can of soda. At a given temperature, the space above the liquid in a can of soda will fill with a certain amount of carbon dioxide that escapes from the liquid below. With an alcohol breath test, think of your blood as the soda, and the air in your lungs as the "space above the liquid" that the alcohol in your blood escapes into. This ratio is pretty much universally set at 2100:1 in all breath machines - meaning 2100 parts of lung air contain the same amount of alcohol as one part of blood. The breath machine detects alcohol in your lungs, and then calculates how much would be in your blood based upon that reading. There have been some studies that show that this ratio is not the same for everyone, meaning that a breath test could possibly overestimate or underestimate someone's actual blood alcohol content. But for the most part, it's accepted as close enough to accurate, and that in most cases it actually underestimates blood alcohol content rather than overestimates it. There are plenty of other issues with alcohol breath testing, and I didn't get into HOW the machine reads the amount of alcohol in your breath, but this is basically how the machine takes alcohol in your breath and correlates it to alcohol in your blood.

 Why did Lehman Brothers go bankrupt while other banks its size survived the 2008 financial crisis?

Because it was not obvious the government had to bail out the financial system when Lehman went bankrupt so it was not bailed out. They thought they could let it go bankrupt and stay out of it and the financial system wouldn't collapse. By the time they realized it was a problem Lehman was already officially bankrupt and it would have been problematic to undo. Once the government realized what was happening they started bailing out banks/AIG/confiscating Fannie Mae/arranging buyouts at discounts.

 Why does string theory require that there be 10 dimensions?

Imagine a room with some 3-dimensional objects in it, like a sphere, a cube, a cone, a pyramid, etc. The room and the objects are uniformly white in color, and there's no light except for a flashlight that you can shine into the room from different locations. Every time you shine the light inside the room, you take a picture. After you've taken several pictures, you sit down and look at the results. Soon, you start classifying various shadows that you've seen. You have a bunch of shadows that are crescent shaped, a bunch that are sort or rectangular, etc. You compile a whole huge book of these shadows, and it's pretty impressive, but it's really hard to explain it all to other people because the location of the flashlight and picture make all sorts of subtle differences in the shapes of the shadows. Then, a breakthrough! Someone says, hey, those are shadows from 3-dimensional solids. The crescents come from a sphere, the rectangular ones from a cube, etc. Now, all of a sudden, you've got an easy way to classify all your 2-dimensional shadows simply by referencing 3-dimensional shapes that create them. This isn't what's happening in string theory, but the principle of being able to explain more with less by adding dimensions is similar. A great deal of what we know about light, heat, magnetism, and so on can be explained more simply by a universe with more dimensions. In this 10, 11, or 26 dimensional universe, everything we see is just one special case of a more general set of rules.

 How do electric cars reduce CO2? Doesn't the energy for the electric cars have to come from somewhere?

You are generally right. And if someone lives in a place with 100% coal generated electricity it might be a bit worse. Howeve, electric cars are one piece of a potentially cleaner infrastructure. They have some current benefits even if powered by fossil fuel plants: 1) it is easier to put carbon capture technologies and efficiencies in place at a power plant than it is on each and every car. Individual small engines (and heck, any engines) are pretty bad generally at turning the mechanical energy of combustion directly into forward energy of propulsion. 2) electric cars essentially switch off when stopped rather than idling, saving power in stop and go life. 3) electric cars reduce local smog and improve air quality on the ground. 4) electric cars in areas with some percent of renewable electricity is being used reflect that (with some i efficiency due to transmitting over lines and storage), whereas all gas cars do not. 5) electric cars are often able to recapture some of the energy lost to braking. More importantly, it is putting infrastructure in place as that as grids get progressively more and more renewable and cleaner, those efficiencies are immediately translated to all electric cars in that area. When advances are made in car design, by comparison, it takes a decade or two for existing cars to come off the road and to be replaced with those efficiencies. In geneal, the push to cleaner energy is going to be a step by step process. People often like to poopoo any one thing because it doesn't solve all the problems either now or even in theory. But that isn't the way it is going to work. It is going to be incrimental steps, improvements, choices, investments, more steps, improvements, choices and investments.

 How do MLM schemes work?

The creator of the MLM business invites some people to attend a seminar about how they can make money fast. The creator says, "it's really easy, everyone loves make-up right? Well, just buy these starter kits and sell the products to your friends and family and you'll make money in no time!" The people buy the starter kit, have little parties with their friends, and try to sell this make-up to them. If they're lucky, they sell the product. If they're not lucky, they're out the cost of the starter kit. In either case, they paid a lot more for the products than they were actually worth, meaning the MLM creator got a lot of money selling something to the participant who barely gets anything. And sometimes there are kickbacks where the first wave of participants recruit their friends to buy and sell products for them. So then they become the advertisers and recruiters and the people under them try to sell these products no one wants. The scheme itself makes money for the people at the top because they are selling marketing techniques and cheap products at high prices to participants who think they will make a lot of money off of it.

 Can Housing Ever Be A “Free” Market if Renters Have No Choice in the Matter?

The sense of "free" is the ability to select among a variety of options. If you consider something like food, while everyone must eat and acquire food, it is a free market if there are many alternatives to choose from. The other degree of freedom (which is easy to say but harder in practice) in renting is whether to live in that particular area or not. High rents might induce people not to live/work there. Having decided that one wants to live in a certain area, then the cost of rent should have factored into the decision beforehand. To be uncharitable, if the decision process was "I want to live in ABC" without considering the pros and cons, it is not the responsibility of the market to accommodate that desire.

 How come baby seals have fur, but lose it when they grow up?

they have fur because when they are born, they don't have a thick layer of fat (isloation in cold water), so thats one thing. The other and maybe more important thing is that when they are young, they could get eaten by a polar bear so they have to be white and resemble snow/ice as camouflage -- > white fur makes perfect sense. When they are grown, they have to be able to move fast in water and be able to hunt fish -- > dark smooth skin makes perfect sense.

 How do full time political activists, such as Greta Thunberg, make enough money to survive?

I don't know Greta's specifics, but many political talking heads in the US have a Super PAC. A Super PAC allows you to live on other peoples' money and you really don't have to report it (you do, but, realistically you can get away with not doing it). Sarah Palin gets her money and travels around with her Super PAC, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, anyone who isn't actually a candidate for office. Once you become a candidate for something, you have to distance yourself from the Super PAC (sort of, it's REALLY easy to get around that requirement).

It's a bad movie with a bad script and, somehow, actors usually considered good.

 If everyone wants financial success, how does a "Great Depression" happen?

The economic crisis/crash isn't a singular event. It happens gradually and in a few steps. Usually follows a major event. For example, when the coronavirus started to hit our shores, travel was banned first. So many people from the hospitality and tourism industry were laid off. Demand surged for medical industry & things like masks/sanitisers. Airlines were hit HARD. So what happens is, there are a lot of people unemployed suddenly and stock prices of things like airlines drop. Trade also slows down as people try to 'predict' what will happen. In any crisis, people spend less. People spending less = less money in the economy. Less money = more layoffs unless the crisis reverts or there's government intervention or something of that sort. In short, everyone is not working as usual. Certain jobs start to be irrelevant and more people are unemployed leading to the weak economy.

 If stars constantly convert mass to energy in the form of light, wouldn't the universe eventually run out of matter?

Yes. That is what's called the "heat death" of the universe. That is, light energy from stars ends up a lot of places. For instance, on Earth plants use that energy for photosynthesis, which binds that energy into chemical bonds. That energy is later released by mitochondria to perform cellular functions. Other energy from the Sun is used in photoelectric cells (solar panels). Light also has a pressure, so it can push on matter *very* slightly, converting the light into kinetic energy. Those particles sometimes smash together. Light also ends up in black holes. It will eventually be released as Hawking radiation. However, no matter how much the light gets recycled into *work* (that is, a force applied to something, more or less), some energy is "lost" to heat. Heat isn't really useful unless it's concentrated in one place and then allowed to flow to somewhere with less heat. For example, in a [stirling engine]( URL_0 ), you provide a heat source (fire) and it expands the air inside a piston. The piston is pushed, and as it does it cools the air, dissipating heat into the air *outside* of the piston. The air inside contracts, pulling the piston back, where the air is heated, etc. That can't work if the outside air is hotter than the air inside the piston. The heat has nowhere to go, so the air inside the piston stays hot, and stays expanded. That's how energy throughout the universe works: it only does work when it's flowing from a high concentration to a low concentration. Eventually, regardless of what that energy started as, it ends up as *heat*, and low-energy photons like super long wavelength radio waves that no longer have enough energy to affect matter in a meaningful way. Even outside of stars, particles decay. *All* elements have a half-life, some of them are just such a long half-life that it might as well never decay...except that the universe goes on forever\*, so eventually they will. There is energy bound in the atoms. That energy becomes heat and low-energy photons, too. Even the most fundamental particles like protons *might* decay, although that's contentious. If they can, the universe can have meaningful interactions for a lot longer because the decaying protons will release energy, which can do work - although, by that point nothing else except protons and other simple particles will be left so take "meaningful" with a grain of salt. Otherwise, all energy ends up as heat. The energy in the universe will be so evenly distributed, so random, that nothing else can happen. Nothing *will* happen. Particles will float aimlessly in the void, never interacting because there's no ~~energy left~~ edit: no concentrations of energy left to cause an interaction, because it's all evenly distributed. And, as you suggested, there won't be any *matter* left (assuming protons do decay; if they don't, there will be matter, but it'll just be protons and nothing else). \* Maybe.

 How do different types of alcohol give you a different kind of buzz?

There are lots of factors at play. Firstly, there's alcohol per volume. Hard liquor is less filling and high alcohol, therefore it is easier to get drunker quicker than beer and is more dehydrating. Next is chemical composition. Wine for instance has antioxidants that can change your mood/feeling. There is also mood/culture surrounding the alcohol. For example, tequila is usually drunk socially as shots when everyone is in a festive and fun mood. Whiskey isn't used as much as a party drink. Wine is typically drunk to unwind. Lastly, it can also be all in your head or your reaction to the drink. If you don't like the taste/burn of whiskey, or the dryness of wine, it can sour your mood. There is also suggestive cultural influences, which relates to the above paragraph. Your expectation is that wine hits differently and so you "feel" it. For the most part, though, it appears to be psychological and the alcohol content. Yes, the chemical composition could play a role, but it is debated whether or not they contribute significantly enough. Alcohol is alcohol at the end of the day and the overall effect will be the same. But your mood or expectations as a result of the context of the drinking and how the drinking makes you feel seem to matter the most.

 Why do people perceive colors differently depending upon surrounding colors? E.G. Why do my son's blue eyes "pop" when he is wearing his blue snowsuit, but not his other colored shirts?

It's... complicated. I went to college for animation and took courses in color theory, and the question of *why* color theory works the way it does is not really that well understood scientifically, as far as anything I learned has taught me. But the basic idea is that certain colors and color combinations cause a contrast that causes one color (or both) to stand out. Like if your son's eyes were contrasted by a red shirt, for instance, red and blue are obviously different, so you just see red shirt and blue eyes. But the blue snowsuit is probably different from your son's eyes as well. Maybe it's darker, and it makes his eyes appear very bright and vibrant by contrast, since you're seeing the dark blue contrasted with a similar hue but higher brightness. I'd be interested to see the results if you can get a dark orange shirt on the kid and see how that affects your perception of his eyes, since orange and blue are, in theory, complementary, but orange can be a tricky color for some reason... Interestingly, if you stare at this sort of thing for too long, you start to lose your sense for it. A big part of my school work was remembering to take a break every couple of hours of working on a piece and to at least somewhat focus on a neutral grey for a few minutes to "reset" my eyes to see those contrasts more clearly again.

 Dentists always advise to floss or use interdental brushes (in addition to brushing, of course), but no one recommends mouthwash. Does mouthwash make a visible difference?

I'm a registered dental hygienist. There's different mouthwash for different needs. There's fluoride mouthwash, which gives you am extra bit of cavity protection. There's anti-gingivitis mouthwash, which helps to kill even more germs in your mouth than brushing and flossing alone. There's even whitening mouthwash, which are typically peroxide based. When my patients ask me which brand is best, I tell them that the brand usually doesn't matter. You look for what the mouthwash is doing for you (for example, after rinsing with a fluoride mouthwash, avoid eating and drinking for a half hour afterwards). Do I recommend mouthwash to everyone? No. Only if I feel it could benefit them and their particular needs. And yeah, they make your breath fresh too! But cleaning your tongue thoroughly will help with that too (use a tongue scraper!)

 Are these “new” Murder Hornets the same as Japanese hornets we’ve had in the USA for decades?

No, this a completely novel introduction of a species which has potential to do ecological harm, though the largest threat it poses is perhaps to commercial beekeeping. European hornets have been present in the US since the 1800s and have long since well established themselves on the east coast. They are quite commonly mistaken for Asian hornets due to their similarities. While their diets and general behavior (though many-myself included-consider European hornets to be a fairly docile species) are somewhat similar, the giants have a penchant for feeding on other eusocial insects. Their large heads power strong muscles, allowing them to prey on other hard-shelled Hymenopterans. In their native range a large portion of their diet consists of bees and wasps.

 why 1 by 49...499999 results in powers of 2?

This is a fun quirk of the **formula for the sum of a geometric series**. Sum (a r^n ) as n - > infinity is a / (1 - r) when the absolute value of r is less than 1. Set a = 2/100 and r = 2/100 and you get (2/100) / (98/100) = 1/49 or 1/49 = 2/10^2 + 4/10^4 + 8/10^6 + 16/10^8 + .... Set a = 2/1000 and r = 2/1000 and you get (2/1000)/(998/1000) = 1/499 or 1/499 = 2/10^3 + 4/10^6 + 8/10^9 + 16/10^12 + .... Setting 'r' to a small multiple of 1/100 or 1/1000 or whatever makes the sums look really cool in decimal form.

 How and why does only one spermatozoid enters the egg?

The egg first initiates what's called the _fast block on polyspermy_, which is essentially a hardening of the outer surface of the egg. It then undergoes a _cortical reaction_, which further secures the egg from further attachment. Having more than one sperm attach to an egg causes faulty chromosome formation and thus an inviable zygote.

 What would happen if we really "nuked" hurricanes?

We'd have a hurricane with a fair amount of radioactive fallout in it. Very little else would happen; hurricanes are very large, and already output the equivalent of megatons of energy each day *at the least*. You would do less harm and have as much of an effect by literally pissing at one.

 What constitutes in being a banker?

An analyst is someone that takes raw data and turns it into useful information that decision makers can base decisions on. For example, if you have a detailed sales and expense history of a particular company, and you have detailed supply and demand market information for the products that this company makes. Then you can combine those information sources, along with projections of market demand for that product to come up with future revenue projections. Those projections might be used to obtain the expected value of that company for the purposes of investing in it or acquiring it. Frequently the job of analyst is very general or very specialized. My cousin is an analyst who works for a large oil company. She works exclusively on natural gas on the east coast. She knows a shit ton about where the gas is produced, how those gas wells are performing, what companies are exploring and where, what the expected outcome of those explorations is, what gas plants are online or offline, what plants might be coming online, how much gas they are using and so on. She knows a very high degree of detail about natural gas and the intent is that she is able to use that information to help predict the future price of gas. Her company uses her work to know how much gas to produce and how much they will sell that gas for. They can then use that information to create revenue projections, budgets and so on. Imigiane that this company expects the gas price to double next month (not likely, but a decent example). They would want to expand their own production and that might involve moving equipment, hiring people and lots of logistics that need to be accomplished in order to be actually extracting gas during the price increase. So my cousin has access to lots of raw data about historic gas prices, usage and outputs. She also has projections made by other analysts in other places about future usage patterns and outputs. She also takes into account if a particular plant is down for maintenance or if a pipeline is not functioning. She turns all of that raw data into information about where she thinks the price of gas will move. Her bosses then use that information to make decisions. An important distinction is the difference between data and information. Information has context and is readable by a human, data is often just a long list of numbers that are hard for a human to gain anything useful from. Most analysts take data and turn it into information. The term "banker" can be very broad. There's traditional banking like you or I use to deposit our paycheck. Then there's investment banking, or other types of large commercial banking. Banking often has a lot of data about prices of things and they need to take that data and turn it into information so that they can make decisions such as when to lend money, or what price to issue a stock at. So while not all bankers are analysts, there are lots of analysts in the banking sector. Often analyst is a kind of mid entry level position in the banking sector. So you might be a new grad with an MBA and get a job as an analyst at Goldman Sacks. From there you move up the ranks into a role where you have actual decision making authority rather than just supplying decision makers with information.

 why is it when a plane turns (using ailerons not rudder) is nothing inside affected?

When a commercial airline plane perform a banking turn the pilot keeps the plane roll rate & rate of turn that closely matches the g-force to 1g with centripidal force to keep it comfortable for crew & passengers & prevent it becoming a problem in cabin & cargo bay If the pilot need to perform a turn that will increase or decrease the g-force beyond +/- 0.2 g they will illuminate the seatbelt sign

 Why do we study Limits in Calculus?

Calculus, both integral and differential calculus, is based upon limits. We don't actually reach our answers but we get infinitely close to it. You can't calculate instantaneous rate of change (the value of the derivative) without using two infinitely close points. Well, you *do*, but not without using limits to derive that ability. The rules of differentiation can be derived (no pun intended) by taking the limit as delta approaches zero blahblahblah you know the rest. Similarly, when calculating area, you're actually calculating the sum of an infinite number of rectangles. As you approach an infinite number of rectangles, you approach the actual area under a curve.

 why do we never remember falling asleep?

Occasionally I can't fall asleep without being aware of the whole thing. On normal nights I watch random objects and people appear in my mind just as I drift off. On bad nights I have a 5 second long terrifying nightmare and spontaneously wake up 4 hrs later. It's like imagining a story or a place you were and it gradually becomes a dream your in.

 - What's happening when you can see the emotion in someone's eyes?

Part of it is that our eyes are pretty constantly moving even in very tiny ways. When you're dead, they stop. Also, for some people, when they're thinking heavily, or lost in thought, their eyes unfocus and they're not actively looking at anything. So when someone has their eyes open, but not actively using them (which we are the vast majority of the time), it can look disconcerting.

 Why are highway miles preferred over city miles when it comes to buying/selling used cars?

Highway miles are easier on the car. It's driving at a constant sped, no stop-and-go traffic, with constant airflow through the cooling system keeping this engine cool. City driving is constant stopping and starting, constantly varying speeds (which means constantly shifting gears) with periods of idling in the mix where airflow through the cooling system is limited, allowing the engine temperature to fluctuate. All of this adds up to increased wear and year on the engine, drivetrains, breaks, etc.

 How does stuff absorb water?

All substances have gaps between their molecules, due to the way they are arranged. As water is a small molecule, it slips between the gaps. Due to imperfections, these gaps are unevenly spaced, ensuring that the water doesn't just slip through to the other side. Once inside the gaps, a force of attraction is created between the substance and the water, called adhesion. This prevents the water molecules from falling back out.

 How exactly are emails sent, like the actual process of the data getting sent to another device that’s for example on another continent?

There are a bunch of standard communications protocols that make up what we call "The internet," like **H**yper**t**ext **T**ransfer **P**rotocol (http) which transfers webpages from their server to your device. When you send an email, your computer converts the text and the relevant formatting information into a message, which it transmits to the recipient's mail server using a protocol called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP.) When a user "checks their email," they download messages from the mail server using one of two protocols - Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3.) Essentially the process is - you compose an email, SMTP sends it to the recipient's mail server. Recipient downloads the email from the server using IMAP or POP3.

 How come I'm still dehydrated eventhough I drink a lot of soda, coffee and tea which contains water?

Even though the caffeine in Tea, Coffee and some soft drinks is a diuretic there should still be enough water within the drinks to offset any caffeine effects. It could be worth looking at underlying health issues. Diabetes causes increased urination if you have sugary drinks. So maybe assess the colour of your urine. If it is a dark colour, especially first thing in the morning, might make it worth getting a check-up.
