 Why most of the games show posion as in green colour? Is it true?

As mentioned before, the colour green is associated with sickness. Many people may also think about Chlorine when they hear "poison" - which was used for its poisonous properties during World War 1, and is a green gas. The substances used as rat poisons ages ago were also green. Modern poisons aren't necessarily green at all, they are usually colourless (poisons aren't very effective if they look obvious).

 How does encryption really work? What prevents hackers from just stealing the key and stuff?

Computer encryption works by encoding the information into a meaningless data set(the Hash), which contains the same data, except in a secret code based on an algorithmically generated number. Some encryption schemes are REVERSIBLE, which means you can use the same key, or a related key, to decrypt the hash and get the information back. Others are ONE-WAY, meaning that encrypted data is essentially gone; this is a common way to store passwords, and you simply compare the hash values; if they match, they have the right password. While someone else will have to explain the finer points of how it works(I have only a very basic understanding of the methods involved), loss of control/custody of the encryption key is a major risk in most encryption systems. Especially since in almost all systems, if you lose the key, you can't decrypt the data, so you can't just destroy it and forget about it. In theory, a very lucky hacker, or a very powerful computer, could stumble upon the correct sequence to break an encrypted message, though its vanishingly unlikely. However, as computers become more powerful every year, and many encryption standards have latent vulnerabilities that are discovered after some time, encryption must be updated frequently to preserve the safety of the data.

 How is over-caffeinated coffee made?

> I know you can decaffeinate coffee and extract caffeine from beans by using some chemicals, but how do you put more caffeine inside the beans? One way of extracting caffeine is soaking them in liquid carbon dioxide into which the caffeine will dissolve while leaving many of the chemicals which make up the taste of the coffee. Putting caffeine into beans is likely as simple as soaking them in a solution which contains higher levels of caffeine than normally found in the beans.

 Where does the sun’s fuel come from?

WHen the universe was formed, the most abundant element was hydrogen. It's the simplest element: just a single proton with a single electron. Gradually, over time, gravity caused clumps of hydrogen to gather together into balls, and as the balls formed, the gravity drew the balls of hydrogen closer together until they were so densely packed together that the pressure in the ball got really high. When the pressure gets high, the temperature goes up, and when the temperature and pressure get high enough, hydrogen actually starts to fuse together into helium. Luckily for stars, the reaction of hydrogen turning into helium puts out energy. Once the hydrogen in a star starts fusing into helium, the reaction is self-sustaining. We can do this on a small scale in a hydrogen bomb: we make it so hot that we get the hydrogen to fuse. We call that fusion. The sun is a giant hydrogen bomb that keeps fusing hydrogen into helium. After the hydrogen is all used up, the helium will fuse into something even heavier, but it needs the crazy temperatures and pressures at the center of the sun to happen.

 How does the concept of franchising work and why do so many companies do it?

1. Reality shows are 100% staged. 2. CEOs have varying levels of authority within their companies. Not all CEOs have the authority to terminate an employee. 3. Franchise businesses are independently owned by the franchisee. A franchise owner agrees to the parent company's rules, and pays for the right to use the trademarks, recipes, processes, etc. But he operates the franchise within those rules as he sees fit. Employees at your local McDonald's don't work for McDonald's Corporation, they work for Jones Fast Food LLC (DBA McDonald's), the franchisee.

 how do societies, investors or creditors make sure commercial banks really have in their possession the amounts of deposits they claim to have on a certain day?

They don't. Most banks don't hold anywhere near the total amount of their deposits on hand; this is called "fractional reserve banking" and it's how they can lend out money. Societies/investors/creditors don't care if a commercial bank has enough in their possession to cover \*all\* deposits, they care that they can withdraw money whenever they want to. Since, under normal conditions, the bank never has everyone try to withdraw at the same time, this is a non-issue and everyone's happy. The bank just needs to keep enough on hand to serve whoever wants to withdraw their money in the short term. As long as you trust that your money is "safe", you don't really have to care. If everyone tries to withdraw all at once the bank won't be able to cover it, it's called a "bank run," and it's bad; without an outside entity to intervene it can destroy the bank.

 What is music theory and how does it work?

Ooh, one of these I can actually answer! Music theory is basically looking at all the different elements that make up music - including obvious ones such as melody, harmony, rhythm etc., and less obvious ones such as timbre (the particular "quality" of sound that a specific instrument produces) - and the relationships between these elements within a piece of music. The ways these parts work together - or against each other - are what make a piece of music sound the way it does. The answer to "how does it work?" is "it depends". Different genres of music have their own set of 'rules'* regarding the relationships between the elements that make up the music. As a (very simplified) example, the classic blues song structure uses 3 specific chords°, repeated over and over in the same order to the end of the song. Artists and composers may bend these rules or ignore them completely sometimes, but on the whole you'll find that most music follows at least some of the conventions of the genre. I'm sure someone else will probably have a better explanation than me, but hopefully that gives you an idea! *unless you're writing a piece of music for examination, you should view these 'rules' more as guidelines - don't be afraid to experiment! °these are chords 1, 4 and 5 in the key that the song's written in. The key signature determines which particular set of chords form the basis of a song. Look up "12 bar blues" to learn more about the blues structure in particular.

 Why do certain foods taste bad when they are actually beneficial for us?

What is 'good' or 'bad' for us is often not determined by what it is but rather by how much. From an evolutionary perspective, we crave sugar and fats because this was the most difficult (and thus rare) thing to have, and at the same time, its the thing that contains most energy. Our bodies still 'believe' that this is the case, so we still crave sugar and fats despite its abundance. The science of what we should and shouldn't eat is a difficult one, and it doesn't help that every scientific finding or study is then bloated by mass media in articles like "If you eat xy, you will live longer" just because some rat experiment showed a marginal effect of a highly concentrated and chemically modified substance that also happens to be in xy. So you will probably find studies suggesting that eating oils in general is bad, and others stating that eating olive oil is better than eating palm fat, whilst others state that not oils but carbohydrates are the problem. Then there is taste, and that is often very individual. I for example like olive oil and could eat bread dipped into nothing but olive oil every day.

 What is CMOS technology and how does it work?

CMOS is more of a layout than a technology, we use it to make low power logic gates In something like an inverter you just need to flip the signal so if a 1 goes in a 0 comes out and vice versa. You can do this really simply with a transistor and a resistor but whenever the transistor is on you'll burn off lots of power in that resistor which isn't ideal CMOS has you replace that resistor with the **C**omplementary type of **MOS**FET thus the name CMOS. If you were previously using an n-type FET on the bottom and a resistor on top then you'd replace the resistor with a p-type FET. The end result is that when the n-type is on the p-type is off so the output is 0 and no significant current flows. Conversely if the n-type is off then the p-type is on and the output is high but again no significant current flows. Old logic gates did not use CMOS and ran hot, but most modern digital devices have their transistors laid out in a CMOS style to minimize power consumption.

 How do sailboats travel at 2X+ wind speed?

They can only do that when they're pointed "off" the wind. They can't go directly downwind (in the direction of the wind) at more than 1x wind speed. But if you're going at an angle to the wind, the keel is acting like an underwater wing to "translate" sideways force on the boat into forward thrust. It's roughly like pinching a watermelon seed between your fingers. You "squeeze" the boat between the wind force (sail) and the water force (keel) and the boat "squirts" forward. Aerodynamically it gets kind of messy, but basically the sail takes the wind and turns it into force, and the hull geometry makes it really hard to go sideways (high drag) and really easy to go forwards (low drag). Even if you're going 2x windspeed, if you're going at an angle you still have wind over the sail, so you still have lift on the sail, so you can keep going. The faster you go the more the wind "looks" like it's coming from the front of the boat so there's a limit to how far you can take it.

 Why are radio stations identified by their exact frequency, such as 103.1Mhz, whereas TV stations were traditionally identified by a generalized channel number, such as 7?

Radio signals are a single frequency. TV signals contain(ed) multiple frequencies (for the video, RGB colors, and separately for the audio), so they made a dial with "channels" instead of having multiple frequency dials and forcing people to "tune" the image and then "tune" the audio separately. That way you tune into the "channel" and the TV tunes into the sets of frequencies required to receive the video AND audio for that station.

 Why does the boiling point of water decrease with altitude but the freezing point does not?

There is less air pressure at higher elevations. It is easier for water to enter the gas phase when there is less water vapor and other gases around. Water's melting point *does* change at different pressures as well. You can see it here on this [phase diagram]( URL_0 ) which shows what phase water is in at various temperatures and pressures. At extremely high pressures it will basically always be a solid and at extremely low pressures water will be a vapor at 0 degrees Celsius. Without air pressure around pushing on the water on all sides, even water molecules in a relatively cool block of ice will move into the gas phase.

 How do flight suits or g suits work and what do they do for military jet pilots?

One of the effects of high Gs is that your blood pools in your legs - it's pushed to the outside of the curve along with the rest of your body. This causes blackouts as your brain is deprived of oxygen. G suits have inflatable sections in the thighs that squeeze the legs tight and prevent the blood from pooling there, keeping it in the upper body (ideally the brain).

 What is the difference between NVMe, M.2, SATA 3 and PCI-Express?

PCI Express is a way of connecting various different devices to a computer. It is usually used for devices inside the computer, and USB is usually used for devices outside the computer. SATA is a way to connect storage devices to a computer. It is usually used for internal storage devices, though it can also be used for external devices via eSATA. The 3 means it's the 3rd version of the standard, allowing for faster speeds than the original or 2nd version. SSDs were typically connected via SATA. NVMe instead connects them via PCI Express, which allows faster performance. M.2 is a form factor, meaning shape and way of connecting an SSD or other device to a computer. It can include PCI Express (supporting NVMe), SATA 3, and USB 3 interfaces. But devices and PCs may not support all 3.

 what does it mean for a liquid to be acidic? What is it that causes it to be so dangerous?

It means that this liquid contains something which is prone to giving away protons (hydrogen atoms without electrons). This is not necessarily dangerous. DNA is an acid. Your stomach is full of acid. All sorts of foods are acids. Acids are only dangerous in some situations. They're prone to donating their protons to a bunch of things that don't "want" them. Things like your skin. Of course, there are many acids, and the type of acid (as well as its concentration and other things) are huge factors in what they do. Most acids, when concentrated and dissolved in water, will burn people, but they won't instantly eat through an inch of steel.

 How can carshows like roadkill build vehicles with literally no exhausts while at the same time brands like Volkswagen are being sued over air pollution because of their cars?

Volkswagen isn't being sued over the pollution that the cars are putting out, they're being sued because they altered their emissions standards testing to report that the vehicles they produce are more efficient and create fewer carbon emissions. It's a case of false advertising and a "defective" product. Vintage cars, or cars not built for mass production purposes also have different standards, and may not have to meet the same requirements.

 Why are Arabs not black? Since arabia is the most sun-intensive area of earth it would make sense to have dark skin for protection.

You need to understand how the [human skin color]( URL_0 ) evolved. Second You need to understand where did [Arabs]( URL_1 ) come from. But here's the short answer you can deduce from both articles: An estimated time of about 10,000 to 20,000 years is enough for human populations to achieve optimal skin pigmentation in a particular geographic area. Modern Arabs descended from some civilization that lived in the Levant about 3000 years ago (and these originated from a whiteish background), and as a result of being white, they chose to use better clothing instead of waiting for evolution. Also there was "Ancient Arabs", they were tribes that had vanished or been destroyed, such as ʿĀad and Thamud, and we can't know if these are white or black. I hope my answer is correct as i simplified it to the max, if you read the articles and the "further information" links in them, you'll eventually get to your answer

 How did people in the past begin to accurately measure the height of mountains, such as everest?

One way is by making a cup of tea. Water boils at 100°C only at sea level. The temperature at which water boils varies based on air pressure. For every 1000 metres, the boiling point drops by about 5 degrees. Thus, with a kettle and a thermometer you can estimate altitude.

 How does the computer physically store information in the memory (RAM)?

RAM typically uses capacitors and transistors to hold onto an electrical charge. A "high" electrical charge (above half a volt) is a 1 and a "low" charge is a 0. It's much faster than reading and writing to a hard drive, but is volatile (only works while the computer is powered).

 Why every number to the power of 0 is equal to 1?

x^n / x^m = x^(n-m) , right? That means that, for example, 2^2 / 2^2 = 2^(2-2) = 2^0 Since 2^2 / 2^2 = 4 / 4 = 1 Then 2^0 = 1 Another way to look at it is to go backwards. 2^4 = 16 2^3 = 8, or 16 / 2 2^2 = 4, or 8 / 2 2^1 = 2, or 4 / 2 2^0 = 1, or 2 / 2 Does that help?

 Why do packages use TWO arrows to show correct orientation instead of just one?

The human eye is really great at noticing patterns. Your eyes are much more likely to notice a pair of things than a thing by itself, especially in your peripheral. Another benefit of having arrows all over the box is if it’s in the back of a truck, partially covered by boxes in front of it; at least you’d still see one of them.

 Why is Pi irrational? What is it about the properties of a circle that causes its circumference to never be a precise ratio of its diameter?

Here's another way to look at it. Rational numbers are ones that end with an infinite series of zeros (2.4000000...), or an infinite series of repetitions (0.1428571428571428571̅4̅2̅8̅5̅7̅.....). Now, what is the chance that any value, chosen at random, would end in an infinite pattern? Effectively zero. So you would expect that rational numbers would be the rare and unusual ones. And that is what we find. Pretty much any mathematical constant - like Pi, e, phi and the square roots of every single non-square whole number, are irrational. So Pi being irrational is nothing special. Indeed, it would be really, really strange if it wasn't.

 Why does fruit start to rot on room temperature, but can stay good for weeks in the fridge?

Cold temperatures cause the growth of bacteria to slow down, almost to a halt in most cases. Those bacteria are then cooked away, or are only present in small enough amounts that they aren't harmful. When kept out of the fridge, the bacteria grows unheeded, and can cause rotting or cause someone to be sick if they eat it.

 when sleet falls, it travels an incredible distance. Why doesn’t it hurt more?

There is a maximum speed water (or any other object) will fall at - called it's terminal velocity. This is a product of that objects shape and air resistance - as an object falls, gravity pulls it down toward the ground, but as it falls it has to push all of the air out of the way. The terminal velocity is the speed where gravity and air resistance balance out and it can't drop any faster. Coupled with that, the kinetic energy a moving object has is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity. The speed is limited by the terminal velocity, and the mass is very small, so the kinetic energy (and the amount of energy it will hit you with) is pretty small, so sleet is pretty harmless. Move up to a nice big tropical storm and the size of the rain drops is many times bigger than sleet or normal rain, so they have more kinetic energy and hurt more when they hit you. This also works the other way round too - the mass of the water emitted by a pressure washer is pretty small, but it is sprayed at a speed far faster than terminal velocity (because it is pushed out by a motor, not pulled down by gravity), so a pressure washer has a lot of kinetic energy and hurts rather a lot...

 How are ISPs able to handle internet traffic coming from so many different places at once?

Think of the photos you've seen of old manually operated telephone switchboards. Now take that, expand the size and connections by several orders of magnitude, and shrink it all down onto specialized silicon chips, dozens or hundreds of which are packed into each physical switch and router. Then, these specialized switches and routers use light, as in fiber optics, to transmit data. Then, there are many, many nodes containing all this data transmission gear distributed across a global network. There is a hierarchy, principal nodes to secondary ones and tertiary, to route the data to where it's supposed to go. All of this happens at the speed of electricity, so, for our intents and purposes, light speed. So, in summary, they use specialized switches, fiber optic cable and lots and lots and lots of both to handle the traffic. Hope this has helped!

 During sunset, the sky acts like a prism, changing color from blue to red before going dark. But it skips one color of the spectrum -- green -- why?

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. So we get blue light from all sorts of angles, which overpowers the red light that manages to get through to us. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight instead. So it isn't that it changes from blue to red, but rather the amount of blue decreases relative to the amount of red. As such, green doesn't really play into it at all.

 What causes a volcano to erupt? How does it shoot ash so far into the sky?

Magma is generated in the upper mantle by several different processes. It is buoyant relative to the lower crust so rises up until it reaches neutral buoyancy somewhere between ~3-15km depth typically. As it sits there cooling some minerals start crystallising out. This results in the remaining melt evolving. This tends to lead to increased concentration of dissolved gases like co2 and so2. Lots of things can trigger eruption but essentially it's a result of overpressure. Once magma escapes upward those gases can come out of solution to form bubbles and start expanding. That drives the material up to shallower depths and more expansion etc. This fragments the magma into pumice and ash. That also jets the material out of the vent. If enough material is ejected you also them get convection and buoyancy of the hot ash, which enables plumes of 20+ km to develop.

 Could a state seperate from the rest of the United States?

Yes and no. There is no "I want to leave" button that a state can push. However the only way to make a state stay when they don't want to is through force. Assuming the federal government does not want another civil war, they would have to simply let a state leave. That's pretty unlikely, most likely it would result in a small civil war. Assuming a state DID leave. They could simply ask Canada if they can join. Canada has no formal way of letting new provinces join the federation but it's not unheard of. Canada would decide if this is something that Canada would want to do and if it is they would impose conditions on the states. Likely LOTS of stuff within the states would change. In terms of difficulty. The states that were being talked about are generally California, Washington and Oregon, combined that's about 50 million people. Canada has a population of 35.6 million. The combined country would be 85 million with the former states being 58%. Canadians would be very concerned that they would not be allowing states to join Canada, but rather giving away Canada to the former states. As a result of those population imbalances, and many other issues, Canada would not likely look favorably on this kind of merger. In addition, while there would be some significant economic benefit, the shock of those states adopting Canadian policies on things like taxation would be a big fucking deal. Silicone valley would have problems with Canada's data privacy laws, California farmers would hate our minimum wages, Ya'll might love our healthcare but the doctors won't love their new paychecks. The new combined country would be heavily influenced by the former states. So many of those benefits that Canadians have enjoyed would likely be changed to conform to what the states currently have. Canadians would not like this.

 airplane propelled by ion thruster, how the heck does that work?

> No moving parts involved, no fuel, no propeller, no engine. > It is fueled by ions pulled from nitrogen in air . Your mistaken there. Ion engine's naturally use fuel. Namely electricity. And xenon gas in space usually. Basically, you accelerate ions down a magnetic tube spending electricity, that makes them go very very fast. Its like any regular jet or rocket engine, throw something out the back = thrust

I'm not ENTIRELY sure here, but from experience studying embalming and having seen a few corpses, I would say about halfway open and closed is natural. when you die, you lose all muscle control, and most of the time that leaves a person's eyelids halfway closed. during embalming, there are special caps used to keep the eyelids closed for service. again though, I'm not 100% sure as I'm not a doctor or anything haha

 Is there someone profiting off of my student loan payments?

When someone puts up the money to lend to you in the form of a student loan, they expect a return on their investment. People will not take on risk in the form of lending capital without a promised return on investment. It’s not capitalism it’s common sense. In reality there system is much more complex through banks taking peoples money (checking, saving accounts) and lending that money out in order to pay people interest. You have to remember that banks don’t just have piles of cash, they invest what you give them and use the returns on those investments to profit and also give you a return on your savings and even checking deposits. So yes someone “profits” but that “profit” is a return on investment, a way to incentivize people to lend money to students, and enable the student loan system to work.

 Why does ice melt quickly when you pour hot coffee on top of it in a cup, but doesn't melt as fast when you place ice in a hot cup of coffee?

This is essentially the difference between forced convection and natural convection . Pouring coffee over the ice is forced convection, which heats the ice faster and melts it faster because hot coffee is constantly in contact with the ice as it flows over it. When you put ice in the coffee, this is natural convection, where after a short while the ice is not surrounded by hot coffee, but rather it is warm coffee that has been cooled by the ice but is still around the surface of the ice because the coffee is not moving. This is like a thermal padding that protects the ice from the hot coffee (if you want to look more into it, you can learn about a "boundary layer" around the ice). If you put ice into coffee, then stir it constantly, it will melt approximately as fast as pouring the coffee over the ice. That's because stirring it will also create forced convection because there is no warm coffee "thermal padding" that can develop around the ice, the stirring ensures that the ice is constantly in contact with the hot coffee and thus it will melt faster.

 Why are Republicans having so much trouble passing this spending bill when they control both the Senate and the House?

To pass the spending bill in the Senate they need 60 votes per the rules in place since 1806. They have 51 (currently) assuming all Republicans vote for it which is making a big assumption. So at best they need 9 Democrats to vote for a bill that the Democrats have VERY PUBLICLY said they are against. What makes the situation even worse is that the Democrats were happy to pass the version that did not include the Border Wall. So this bill was passed right up until that amendment was added.

 what do C level execs do Day to Day?

“Make big decisions” there you go. C-level executives accept a significantly larger responsibility for the productivity and outcomes of the company. They are the ones who get in trouble when there is a scandal, they go to jail if something was illegal, and they make decisions that direct the company. They are both the captain and the fall guy, thats why they get paid so much.

 Why we get lot of sticky spit in our mouth when we are crying and lot of snot in nose?

There is actually a duct running from your eyes into your nasal cavity (nasolacrimal duct), and liquid can run down the back of your nasal cavity into your throat. Apparently, this means medicine applied into your eyes (like eye drops) can end up running into your mouth. Also, excess mucus can run up these ducts out of your eyes if your nose is very obstructed.

 Why do newer apps take more resources even when doing more or less the same thing as before?

To cut down time in developing apps, a developer rarely makes anything completely from scratch. Instead they use a pre-existing library of tools that's readily available, and makes developing a lot faster, and a lot less complex. As systems evolve, more and more tools become available, and these tools might take up more space, or use more system resources to do certain tasks because the task itself now requires more steps to complete. Some of these steps might be related to security, some might be to circumvent a design choice in how the system handles one resource that might be ineffective. Ultimately, you probably still could make apps that uses way less resources, but if they don't adhere to new requirements for apps (security, compliance, compatability) they're unlikely to be accepted and released on the various app-stores.

 Why was the best plan of battle on D-day to send thousands of men to almost certain death?

Ships DID bombard the shore; for many hours that morning leading up to the landing. A truly thorough job couldn't be done over the course of many days because the idea was to catch the defenders by surprise, so that all their reinforcements were out of position. For this reason, the allies spent about a week bombarding breaches further east of where the true landing took place. In the end though, the only way to take and hold ground is with men on the ground. Bombardments only get you so far, and those German positions were designed specifically to resist them.

 Why do asphalt roads get lighter in colour as it ages?

Asphalt (bitumen) is actually the black gooey substance within asphalt concrete roads. The other component in asphalt concrete is aggregate which consists of small smashed up rocks. When first paved, the asphalt concrete retains its black color from the asphalt. However, asphalt is softer than rock so it wears off the surface faster, exposing the harder gray aggregate. This turns the road from black to gray over time. Furthermore, weathering and exposure to the sun will also lighten the asphalt with time.

 How does a Venus Fly Trap “eat” an insect?

There are small hair like things in the 'mouth' of the plant. When a fly lands in the 'mouth' and moves one of the hair like things it triggers the mouth to close. Liquid of some sort is then excreted in the mouth of the plant and that liquid dissolves the trapped insect and the resulting juice is absorbed by the plant. I think

 How Is Lossless Compression So Good? (Detailed)

> Say you wanted to compress a set of 8 bits to 7 bits. 8 bits can represent 256 DIFFERENT values, while 7 bits can only represent 128 values. So that means that half of the files are IMPOSSIBLE to compress, even with 1GB files. You are absolutely correct, and this is the basic proof that not all files can be compressed by a given algorithm. Be proud you understand it, the professor who taught my data compression class did not. And it is even worse than that. Of the half that can be compressed, half can only be compressed by one bit. Have of what remain can only be compressed two bits, etc., etc. Only the tiniest fraction can be compressed to any significant degree. How can we compress anything? Because even a tinier fraction is going to be anything we would ever want to compress. There are about [36,000]( URL_0 ) ten letter words in English, from aardwolves to zymometers. But there are 141 million billion possible combinations, meaning 99.99999997% of them are gibberish. And thats just 10 letters, the longer you get, the lower the sense/nonsense ratio gets. Keeping that in mind, the chances of finding compressible data isn't nearly as astronomical as you might think.

 Why are cable and internet company options in the US so limited?

In short: monopolies. Major telecom companies took advantage of the fact that internet/cable access had not had specific legislation made concerning them (or that they had not been classified in a manner that existing legislation applied to them). This allowed said companies to section off service areas into controlled monopolies, and to lobby politically to protect their monopolies. They do not compete, so they are able to maintain high rates and not invest in improving/expanding services.

 How and/or why do derivatives and integrals work?

Calculus is the mathematics of change, and thus integrals and derivatives measure and formalize change. A simplified explanation of derivatives can be constructed as such: Imagine you have a line with slope 3. Obviously, if you move 1 unit on that line, your should move 3 units up/down. However, imagine you don't have a line, but some function, say x^2. How much do you move up/down if you move 1 unit left/right? You can't tell, can you? The slope changes, so the question depends on where on the curve you start. There is a big difference moving from (1,1)- > (2,4) as opposed to moving from (3,9) - > (4,16). A derivative says *"Ok, so what if we just move a tiny amount? how much do you move at that exact spot?"* The derivative tells you that on x^2 moving left right at some point will cause you to follow the slope 2x..... at that point. move a tiny, tiny bit to the left at (3,9), and you'll move by a tiny fraction up and down in a similar way that you'd move on a line with slope 6. An integral goes the exact opposite way. It comes along and says "Ok, if we know how much we change our position up and down at each point, what function would cause us to move that way when we move a tiny bit left/right"? So, if you know that you're changing 2x at every point, you argue that you'd be following the curve x^2 + C, because we've already seen that this is the case from our derivative case. Derivatives and Integrals are opposites. One cancels out the other.

 Why does root beer foam up so much more than other soft drinks?

From personal experience with root beer brewing at home: They don't always. Root beer is fundamentally similar to other soft drinks when store bought in terms of the base (carbonated water), the flavor (emulsified oils) and the sweetener (unfortunately usually high fructose corn syrup). However, many brands add something to give it a creamy mouth-feel like maltodextrin or pectin. These "creamifying" additives will cause the bubbles from the carbonation to be more structurally sturdy and therefor less inclined to pop. Same reason you can "blow bubbles" in your milk. E: grammar E2: fun fact, the flavor you uniquely associate with root beer nowadays is actually mint. Wintergreen is the base of most all flavors of store-bought root beer.

 How do we know animals feel emotions?

From a philosophical perspective, people have made arguments throughout history that you can't determine that even other people have emotions. It's important not to fall into that trap with animals. With other animals, and at *least* other mammals, let's look at what we *can* observe: They have physiological reactions to situations where we would expect them to be afraid (such as the release of the corresponding hormones and neurotransmitters, which leads to increases heart rate and respiration); they have behavioral reactions to the same situations (fight or flight behaviors); and they have the same neurological and endocrine structures that we do that we know mediate these responses. So, regarding fear, it's more like we should ask, "Is there any reason *not* to believe animals (particularly mammals) experience fear in a similar way to how we do?" And I think the answer to that is essentially no. Fear is the low-hanging fruit. Curiosity, defensive anger, playfulness, and even pain-induced depression may also be fairly easy to demonstrate. Mammals are also the relatively low-hanging fruit - many of the markers I mentioned above (e.g. hormones/neurotransmitters, neurological/endocrine structures) may work very differently in, say, a crab, an ant, or certainly a jellyfish. But the behavioral marker for contexts we should expect to induce fear is still essentially there. So, can we simply assume animals have emotions? I think largely yes; but we have to be very careful to limit the extent of this assumption to rudimentary and survival-linked emotional states. It's conversely very difficult to truly demonstrate a complex emotion like mirth, self-righteous anger, or foreboding dread in an intelligent mammal like an elephant, a dolphin, or a dog (although there will be people who claim that they can or have). And we also need to accept that as we move farther away from humans, and particularly outside of mammals with a neocortex, etc., the ability to recognize certain emotions gets more difficult because it isn't instantiated in the same way, and all we have to go on may be the behavior, which is much less certain evidence than multiple converging types of evidence.

 If it takes 6-8 hours for food to pass through your digestive tract, then how do some foods "go right through" and come out right away?

For the most part it doesn't; people just think it does. If you really want to test it you can put some food dye in your food as a marker and watch for when it comes out. Or just eat a big bowl of fruit loops. But if something is irritating your GI tract it can speed up motility, e.g. IBS. \*tract, not track

 What are the differences between guitar pickups for electric guitars and acoustic guitars, including those which mean acoustic pickups need a battery as well as the amplifier?

There's 2 types of pickups that I know of. The first one is the most common and uses an electromagnetic field to transpose string vibration to an electric signal that can be amplified. When the strings vibrates, it changes the electromagnetic field around the pickup. These changes depends on the size of the string and how fast the string vibrates, and are picked up by, well, the pickup. The resulting low voltage electric signal is then sent to the amplifier which makes it louder (and optionally add effects to it) and then out its speaker. These pickups are available for both acoustic and electric guitars, and come in passive or active models (active work with a battery and give more gain and control over the sound). It produces a clean, "dry" tone. For acoustic guitars, it is either installed directly under the saddle in the sound box or over the opening of it. They usually come with a small control box and are active. The second type is basically a small piezo microphone installed in the sound box. They produce a richer tone, and usually come with an equalizer in a control box embedded on the side of the guitar. Piezo mics work similarly to standard microphones but they exploit the ability of some minerals to produce electricity when subjected to pressure. They usually have a tiny quartz crystal that will be compressed on each microphone diaphragm vibration. The voltage output from the crystal depends on the pressure it was subjected to and how fast the string vibrates. This signal is then sent to the control box for sound control and pre-amplification, then to the amplifier. Hope that helps!

 Does near-sightedness give you super sight?

Basically, you have your own macro lens. You can get much closer to an object, and thus project a larger image onto your retina, while still keeping focus. I have moderate myopia (+5.5 correction required) and it is a noticeable effect. I hesitate to call it a superpower, but it's a neat trick. I can only focus to about 5 inches though, perhaps affected by my age ; 1 inch is much more impressive.
