  1. I know what it is. I'm simply asking for mathematical proof for the seemingly fantastical conclusions which have been drawn from it. The reason I'm posting so frequently, is because there is another scientific forum I'd been using up until now; currently, my posts here are reposts of currently unanswered submissions there. Once I'm done submitting them I will go through them and answer whatever comments I was not notified about.
  2. You may or may not have heard about the "Wall of Fire" discovered by V2. The basics are, interstellar winds disrupted by the heliosphere form a thick blanket of plasma between us and the Oort cloud. Here's a short summary, with some additional sources listed therein: https://futurism.com/the-byte/solar-system-blanketed-giant-wall-fire/ Here's something to ponder regarding this subject. How is it that comets from the Oort cloud remain frozen after having passed through this barrier and into the heliosphere?
  3. What specifically is the role of linamarin (aka phaseolutein) in the growth and development of cassava, biochemically speaking?
  4. What precisely is the role of guanine quadruplexes in microbiology? It's been described to me that its purpose is to prevent the misfolding of proteins, but I've yet to find a source that describes how this happens.
  5. What would the microbiology of a torus-shaped microorganism look like? Under what circumstances, practical or hypothetical, might such an anatomy be useful, if such a circumstance exists?
  6. I've always been extremely skeptical of the Copenhagen interpretation. I'm aware of its use in explaining the probability distribution of subatomic particles, but the extent to which the idea has been taken, simply seems unrealistic. I'd very much like to see a mathematical/scientific proof of some kind which more adequately affirms/debunks the veracity of this interpretation.
  7. Precisely what would happen if, suddenly, 87.5% of a given gaseous planet's mass was somehow transformed into pure oxygen, and immediately after, five small asteroids of pure caesium, each possessing a surface area exactly equal to 5% of the gaseous planet's topographic surface area, collided with the newly oxygenated gaseous planet at the same time at equidistant coordinates? Precisely what would be the effects on the astrochemistry and meteorology of the planet, and how would it effect other nearby astral bodies? It's admittedly a vague question with many variables, so I'll provide some specification; according to what we know about the Solar System, what would be the aforementioned results for each of the gas planets (individually) if they were to undergo this process?
  8. Generally, when we look at a mirror, we do not attribute a color to it. That is because we are not thinking of the mirror as we look at it, but rather whatever it is we are using the mirror to reflect; therefore, to us, the mirror is the color of whatever it is we're using it to observe. However, presume you had a flawlessly polished ball of some aluminum or chromium alloy; one would generally agree, observing this ball, that it is grayish/silverish in color. However, upon closer inspection, it would be revealed that, much like a mirror, it simply reflects all colors around it, also simply being whatever color it is used to observe. If the mirror and the aluminum alloy were to swap roles suddenly, would we unquestioningly attribute no color to the alloy, and upon cursory assessment attribute a grayish/silverish color to the mirror? Either way, what is the cause of this phenomenon, neuropsychiatrically and biochemically speaking?
  9. Question 1: Under what circumstances involving external influences could life develop on a planet made entirely of gallium? What could be the properties of these lifeforms? How would the results differ based on the physical state of the gallium? Question 2: Same question, but what if it were instead mercury? Again, what properties would this life possess, and how would the results differ between the states of matter? Question 3: What if it were a mixture of gallium and mercury? Again, what would this life look like, and how would the state of matter influence the results? Question 3.1: How would the results differ between varying concentrations of gallium or mercury?
  10. Based on humanity's current scientific understanding: If the entire universe, every single planck, even what is now empty space, was somehow converted into a single type of fermion, what would happen? What would happen differently if it were a different kind of fermion? Additionally, what would happen if it were a combination of different fermions, and how would the results differ between combinations? Would it be possible for any conceivable form of life to arise in this new universe? If so, how would the aforementioned variations effect this?
  11. It appears I cannot find anything that adequately explains Christoffel Notation and what it means. All I know is that it is used to describe the affine geometry of spacetime, and by extent in calculating spacetime geodesics; but I've yet to understand how, or how to use it.
  12. A long time ago, I was sick, and I coughed up a large mass of pale yellow goop into the sink (coughed it up, not puked it up, meaning it came from my lungs). I was curious what it was, but had no equipment of any kind with which to perform actual experiments. Regardless, I felt the need to experiment with it somehow; I got some chemicals from under the sink (namely, a solution of polyoxyethanediyl and hydroxynonylphenyl), and began applying differing amounts every day. Eventually, I started adding various concentrations of urine as well (one day that happened to coincide with this experiment, my urine was purple, and I used all of it on the goop). And none of it was in vain; it began to dimly luminesce, and later began growing some kind of red hair (less like the hair you would find on mold, and much more like the hair you would find on one's arm). There is likely absolutely no way of knowing with any amount of certainty; but my curiosity has been rampant since. Anybody have any idea what could've happened here?
  13. Well, I was once told that a "system of lipids" is involved. However, I never received elaboration on what this system is, how it works, or how differences in lipophilia and lipophobia between nutrients effects it.
  14. Biochemically speaking, how much bromelain should one take per 100 grams of protein and why?
  15. How might one manage to find the surface area and volume of the following constructs? Rotini: A geometric figure I've found to be similar is the helicoid. However, the helicoid (having been formed from a 2D plane) has an edge width equal to epsilon, whereas the edges of a fully 3D rotini-like construct would be roughly catenarian in shape. Fusillibucati/Cavatappi: The only difference between the two is length. Cavalieri's principle could possibly be at play here, but the topography could potentially suggest otherwise. Campanelle: No hints for this one, good luck. Casarecce/Gemelli: The only difference between them is the topographic helical pitch. Cavalieri's principle is more than likely at play here, but you might have to use it a bit differently.
  16. Once they are absorbed, by what mechanism do nutrients travel from the enterocytes into the blood?
  17. Biochemically speaking, how specifically does colonial algae form its gelatinous encasement?
  18. In euglenophytes; firstly, by what mechanism is the water expelled from the contractile vacuole directed into the flagellum reservoir? Secondly, by what mechanism does the eyespot effect the cytoskeleton and, by extent, flagellum, to propel the cell towards light?
  19. In the beginning of interphase, does DNA replicate before the centriole multiplies, or vice versa? How does the centriole multiply before cytokinesis? Furthermore, when the nucleoplasm dissolves into the endoplasm and the centrioles polarize, what specifically happens to the cytoskeleton, and how does it effect the location of organelles?
  20. What mechanism is responsible for the multiplication of histones in chromosome replication?
  21. Presume temporarily, for the sake of hypothesis, that there was an afterlife, and that this afterlife existed separately from time. Now, say the life of a friend or loved one meets its end, and in an effort to see them once more, you travel back in time via a Tipler Cylinder. Would the soul of the person in question reside in their past body, or would it remain in the afterlife which exists separately from time?
  22. Where does the amino acid at the acceptor stem of tRNA come from? Where are the amino acids synthesized, if not from the tRNA itself, and how does it make its way to the acceptor stem in the first place; what role specifically does the anticodon pairing play in this? And if it is synthesized from the tRNA, how does the tRNA remain unaltered afterwards, and how specifically does the anticodon pairing effect this?
