 What makes an equation/formula receive the description "elegant" or "beautiful"?

I don't think there's any official definition there, but some equations are "clean" like the famous E=mc^2 and some include numerous unexplained constants and correction factors. Take a simple chemical kinetics formula, r=k[A]^a [B]^b A and B are concentrations, a and b are the ratios of the reactants in the formula. What's k? k is some nebulous value determined by experimentation. It's an approximation of "reactability" that draws from the shape and composition of the chemicals involved, collapsing all the minute details of the reaction into this "k" It's not calculated from known values, it's a bunch of unknowns smashed into a single constant that you just have to measure. Ugly The more of those your equation has, the uglier it gets - it's skipping over understanding the underlying physics by just measuring what the answer is and backfilling the equation.

 Why does the price of everything keep going up?

Central banks, more or less, have control over how much money is in circulation and also have a fairly good idea of the amount of stuff produced and services provided. As such, modest inflation, and thus increasing prices, is a policy choice. The reason why is that it incentivizes investment (why hold cash instead of spending it or lending it to someone with a productive use for it if it will decline in value over time?) and helps avoid deflation (decreasing prices), which creates a feedback look sapping investment and spending (why spend your money now when it will be worth more later?).

 How come astronauts can do space walks even though the temperature in space is -445C?

So, first, the temperature in space isn't -445 C. I believe absolute zero as defined by Kelvin is -273 C. Space has the background cosmic microwave radiation and that's at about 2.5 Kelvin or -270 C. Space is the closest thing we have to an actual vacuum. So there are no particles to carry away the heat. The only way to lose heat in space is by radiation (radiating it away, mainly in the form of infrared radiation) and evaporation/sublimation (a tiny part of heat loss in space). If you insulate a human that is generating enough energy to keep their entire BMI at 37 C or 310 K they will have more than enough heat to keep themselves warm. In fact, if you add to your spacewalk the sun's energy, i.e. you are walking in a sunlit section of the ISS, and depending on the incident angle of the radiation, you will likely need a way to actually whisk away the heat that builds up in your suit! I'm not an astronaut or a physicist. Hopefully this helped though :)

 Where do people catch rare diseases from?

Lou Gehrig's disease is a good/bad example for your question. In that we *don't know,* by and large, where it comes from. That being said, what you are referring to is primarily specific to diseases that result from a bacterial or viral source. You don't spontaneously get the flu, you get attacked by flu viruses that came from somewhere else. This isn't necessarily the case for all diseases. There are diseases which are genetic, there are diseases which result from inhaled toxins, from foods, where you didn't necessarily contact some sort of "lead poisoning" disease but rather are suffering the effects of contact with lead. Diseases could also arise from a deficiency, like you don't eat enough healthy veggies, or impairment or injury of an organ, or even psychological trauma, in a broad sense. Not all diseases require direct contact with "the disease in some other location," in other words.

 How can a business avoid paying taxes in a state by registring their business in a Tax Haven state like Delaware?

Businesses don't register in DE strictly for tax purposes. DE has a unique Court that strictly handles corporate law (Chancery Court). As a result, there is a large volume of case law and the model helps minimize the costs and time associated with commercial litigation. It is true that DE doesn't tax corporations that incorporate there but don't do business in the State, but that mostly encourages them to incorporate there while not doing business. I guess there are some savings there tax-wise as well, since DE doesn't take a piece so long as they don't do business there. However, any business they do in the State is still subject to whatever the corporate tax rates are there. Keeping it ELI5 - each state sets up corporate taxation differently (gross receipts, nexus, apportionment, etc.). Even out of state businesses can still be found to have a tax obligation if they do business within a state. So if some brick and mortar company sets up shops in State A, even though they are incorporated in State B, they'll likely have some type of tax obligation in State A. But, like all things law - it will depend on all the state laws in place. I suppose companies might also shave some of the incorporation fees and start up costs by setting up shop in Delaware or Nevada rather than a more tax-heavy state.

 Why can’t a camera sensor have variable sensitivity across for a given image?

The ISO isn't the voltage the sensors are at. It's how far the amplifier at the end is turned up. High ISO = the "volume" knob on the amplifier is high. The thing is there is usually only one or a few amplifiers for the whole sensor. If you have multiple amplifiers, you can have variable ISO. Canon DSLR cameras have ~~two~~ four amplifiers, each handling one quarter the rows of pixels (one every 4 lines each). With modified firmware called [Magic Lantern]( URL_0 ), you can set them to two pairs at two different ISOs and basically get single-shot HDR images or HDR video, at the cost of some resolution. Edit: Four amplifiers, not two. Why four but you can only have two ISOs? Because the chip is wired that way, and because of the way the sensor is laid out: every second line only has red pixels or blue pixels (all lines have green pixels), so if you changed the ISO differently for those groups, you'd end up with the red pixels at one ISO and the blue pixels at another ISO, and that would be a mess.

 how we ended up using a "standard" tuning on guitar?

As you have noted the guitar is mostly tuned in 4ths, with a major 3rd between the G and B string. The advantage to tuning in fourths is that it makes it easier to play melodies across the fret board. But it also makes it harder to play chords. By switching to a major 3rd interval the notes on the higher strings come down a fret making it easier to reach for forming chords. If the guitar was all fourths it would be EADGCF -- the problem here is that barre chords would be tough, because you have a minor 2nd between the low string and high string which doesn't sound well. So you would have to compensate with fingering and lose the ease of being able to slide a barre up and down the neck.

 How do some metals manage to kill bacteria?

It totally depends in the situation, the metal in question, and the bacteria in question, but the general gist is that **some metal ions are toxic** to certain life forms. A common example, though technically not about bacteria, are [copper IUDs]( URL_0 ). After insertion, they slowly release copper ions, which kills sperm cells. The copper is slowly depleted, which is why they only work for \~5 years.

 Why are some orgasms more intense than others?

Numerous factors but the main thing to keep in mind that the idea orgasm is an explicit expression of pleasure is fundamentally false, the act can be very pleasurable however orgasms themselves are fairly mechanical in nature. It's similar to tickling, being tickled can be pleasurable or not depending on circumstances but your bodies physical response to the act of tickling is largely the same. This commonly comes up during rape where it is not uncommon for the victim to experience orgasm and the false link to pleasure often makes victims feel guilt or adds to the massive mental trauma such an event induces. As for why sometimes you orgasm harder than others I don't think there is an exact answer however it will be a combination of factors such as hormonal levels at the time, physical condition, the thing causing you to orgasm can also have a large effect, for instance, some sex toys are designed to enhance the orgasm such as being designed specifically for anal stimulation. This is not to say that context is irrelevant and some people find being with a partner they trust or have a strong emotional bond with a key element to reaching orgasm, this, like most things, is just a response involving thousands of complex hormonal and neurological interactions. Really the key is to find what works for in a healthy and safe way. Chances are if you have an intense orgasm and try to re-create that situation as closely as possible you would probably have somewhat equal response, that's just a guess though.

 Why do you get tired from holding a heavy object?

The short answer is your muscles arent actually stationary when youre holding something. Muscle fibers "twitch" continuously, and at a high frequency when exerting force and holding something stationary. It might not be enough to physically see but it is happening. So they are applying force over distance, just a short distance.

 How can we sleep at night without any pimples and wake up with a big one? how do pimples grow overnight?

If you look really close, we humans are covered in billions of little holes that leak all kinds of liquid, all deliberately though, our skin likes covering itself in oil and sweat, even if we think it's icky. While we are awake we sometimes feel that ick, and do something about it like wiping or washing. While we are asleep we just throw our face at a pillow and lie there for a while, so any ick that wants to come out sometimes can't because the pillow is in the way. Sometimes that seals the hole that the ick was trying to escape through, making it worse. No big deal, our skin can puff up and carry this excess ick till there's another way to get rid of it. 'Popping a zit' is basically forcing a brand new hole in your face for the ick to escape from, which is super icky and actually damages our skin, but our skin is amazing and grows a new layer, pushing that old and punctured layer off. Most dust and dirt in a home is human skin falling off the very surface of us. Sounds scary, but all part of the plan :)

 Why do you sometimes feel like you're about to cry but suddenly and involuntarily stop yourself?

I'm going to take a few angles on this. **Part 1 - Biology** Emotions can come and go quickly. It's very normal. Earlier today I was crying - grieving for my grandfather as I was recalling the night that he passed. A few minutes later I felt better and moved on with my day. It doesn't make you any less human that emotions pass through you, sometimes very quickly. I had your exact concern, and my therapist confirmed that this happens, and it's perfectly normal. **Part 2 - Culture** I'm a male from the US. I recognize you may not be. US culture has historically had a very narrow definition of masculinity. It's about being 'tough', which translates to hiding your emotions, not being emotionally sensitive, and not expressing your feelings. If you do that, you're a sissy, a girl, or < insert phrase from your childhood > . Think of all the male personas that US masculine culture centered around in the past; they are all 'cool customers', and virtually emotionless one-man armies: John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Duke Nukem, Bruce Willis, James Bond, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Jason Statham. \[US\] Culturally, for men vulnerability is seen as weakness. I think this is changing, but just speaking to historical standards. **Part 3 - Upbringing** Your upbringing can have a large affect on how you metabolize emotion. I was brought up in a household with an angry and tyrannical father figure. I learned quickly to hide how I felt, not express emotion, just say 'yes-sir' and keep my head down. Through some very long work with a therapist, I've discovered that this become my defacto way of interacting with people in my life, and of processing emotion as an adult. As in, you don't feel, you just ignore what you're body is telling you and push through. As I re-learned how to process emotion, it blew me away how much I was pushing down.

I am not sure about this, but i reckon it is because Skype/Discord uses your WiFi or ethernet which has more bandwidth.

The most impressive part of the human brain isn't what it notices and reacts to, but the things it filters out. You see everything, you've collected that information. When a car passes you see the licence plate but you don't memorize it, you can see a flight of stairs but not automatically count the steps, when you see words you read them, but you may not acknowledge their meaning or respond to it. So just getting the sensory input doesn't actually mean we truly acknowledge it and make adjustments to other automated behaviour we're doing. The information just doesn't get sent to the right place to actually stop the action we were taking.

 Why do some phone batteries have more capacity than laptop batteries?

They haven't. I'm pretty sure you are basing this on the amp-hours rating of the batteries. Let's take Apple for a second, and I chose that only because they sell both. iPhone 11 is a 3110 mAh (milliamp-hour) battery. MacBook Air is 4379 mAh. So those are close, right? Nope, not at all. Why? Because amp-hours is a rather stupid and misleading rating without more knowledge. I have no clue why it's used. Basically the amp-hours is how much electrical charge the battery stores, *but it does not say with how much energy that charge is held.* That would be the voltage. To compare batteries you need to multiply the amp-hours by the voltage to get the watt hours. Then you can compare. Watt hours being how much power it can supply and for how long, aka the energy. 1 Wh can last 1 hour with 1 Watt of power. Or 2 hours at half a watt, or 1/2 hour at 2 W. Amp-hours only works for comparison if the voltage happens to be the same. In the case of phones (3.7V) and laptops (12V), it does not work. iPhone 11 is 3.83 V, so gives 11.92 Wh. MacBook Air is 11.4 V, so 49.9 Wh. They aren't close, the MacBook Air, a really small and weak laptop, is over 4x a phone battery size.

 Is it possible to "catch up on" nutrients?

Your body requires certain micro-nutrients (basically vitamins & minerals), which it can't produce on it's own in order to properly rebuild & maintain certain types of tissues. We're fairly good at storing them, but stores will diminish & signs of deficiencies will usually occur after a few weeks depending on which one we're talking about. As to your question, (assuming daily caloric needs are met on this diet) these stores work on a ~weekly basis, so yes you could "catch up" in a sense with micro-nutrients, but eating a diet of mainly animal protein one day or fruit the next--and much more so on a weekly basis--will most likely cause intestinal distress as well as cholesterol & insulin heavy days, which could tax your system & increase your risk for various metabolic and/or heart disease. Which is why a balanced daily diet is clinically recommended and easier to maintain.

 How does graphite stay on paper?

Graphite is relatively soft, and as you scrape it along a surface, tiny bits of it crumble away and stay behind. These bits are insaaanely individually tiny and make up an extremely fine powder. Paper is not as smooth as you might think. It's covered in ridges and pores and little valleys. So as you are dragging the graphite along a piece of paper and leaving the trail of ultra fine powder behind it, you're also applying a bit of pressure between the pencil tip and the paper, effectively packing the graphite dust into all those grooves and pores and ridges in the paper. Erasers work because they're soft and also extremely porous, wich allows them to sink into the textures along the surface of the paper and collect that graphite dust up in it's own surface, taking it from the paper. As you can imagine this process doesn't work perfectly every swipe, which is why erasers sometimes leave smudges behind.

 Why did diamonds become so valuable?

Wedding rings were for a time supposed to be a women's birthstone. But that changed due to a clever marketing campaign by De Beers. They invented the famous slogan "A Diamond is Forever." De Beers had a monopoly at the time and with marketing driving up the demand De Beers was able to crank up the price on cut diamonds to ridiculous levels. De Beers marketing campaign managed to convince a lot of women that a man should spend "two months salary on a diamond ring to prove you're worth it" When in reality diamonds have very little intrinsic value. As precious stones go they are not particularly rare and are mined quite extensively. Just clever marketing.

 How do materials in an alloy create a substance that has different properties to the base materials, even though no chemical reaction takes place between the materials?

Steel is a good example. It's made of iron and carbon. Iron atoms are relatively large compared to carbon atoms. If all you have are iron atoms, they pack together, but there are small spaces between the atoms. If you add carbon to the mix, the smaller carbon atoms can fit into the spaces, making the alloy much sturdier than pure iron.

 What's with the popcorn kernels that don't pop?

Popcorn pops because of steam pressure. The inside of the kernel contains starch and water, which are contained in a hard shell. When you heat it, the starch liquifies and the water turns to steam. When the steam pressure gets high enough, the shell explodes, the starch instantly solidifies, and the corn is popped. If the shell is broken, steam won’t build up. Bad kernel If it is too dried out, not enough pressure will build up. Bad kernal

 Why do video games often crash when they have too many things on screen at once?

Wow first time I’ve been able to answer one of these. You won’t be able to generalize this to every game, but for the most part this causes the program to run out of memory. Every object on the screen needs to be tracked in memory, programs (and computers in general) have a limited amount of memory and when that limit is reached and the program tries to use more execution will fail causing the game to crash.

Your body uses acid to digest food, so it has a pretty high tolerance for acidic things when you eat it. You'll notice that most of the stuff on that chart you put up is food on the acid side. You've got a lot of systems in your body for dealing with acids (Especially ones you eat). So it just seems like they aren't as strong from that chart.

 How does fiber optic internet work?

Fiber is just a transport medium for light, just like how copper is a transport medium for electricity. Within some manufacturing specs, intrared light will travel down a fiber optical cable as it snakes and bends through (typically) underground conduits and comes out the other side without much distortion. So rather than treating voltage vs no-voltage as 1 and 0 for binary transfers, we treat light and no-light as 1 and 0 instead. And now we have a means of sending and receiving data over longer distances than we can with copper (while retraining signal integrity). Over short distances or where running lots of strands is reasonable, a single connection will be made of 2 fibers, one for transmit and one for receive. Alternatively two different wavelengths of light can be used, one on each side, and a single strand of fiber can be used in both directions. Most "fiber to the home" installations do that.

 what is the significance of the closure property in math?

It matters because with a closed operation you never have to worry about "handling" any numbers outside the set. Several mathematical operations do weird things under certain conditions: some things go screwy with negative values, divide by zero, infinity, looping around 360 degrees for trig function, logarithm of zero, etc. Several physical functions do something similar...trying to address memory addresses larger than the computer has memory or numbers larger than the computer can store causes all kinds of programming issues With a closed operation, you're mathematically assured that your results will always land inside the set (assuming your input came from inside it). That means, properly implemented, you can't accidentally get a value outside the set that will break your operation or something downstream that's using the output. Error handling is a \*huge\* deal for many practical engineering systems, having closed outputs helps a lot with cutting down how much and what kinds of errors you need to handle.

 What's the difference between value and saturation in colors?

> I understand that value determines the brightness, and saturation is about the dullness or intensity of a color Ya. That's pretty much it. ...That's it. You've got it. Brightness vs color. Two different variables. You can have bright white paint with a little red mixed in giving a bright but mostly desaturated / dull / low-intensity color. You can have pure red paint... in the dark, so you can hardly see it. Bright and dull vs dark and intense. These are two different physical properties. Amplitude and frequency. Your eye has 4 receptors. Rods for [nightvision]( URL_0 ), which doesn't have color and gets over-ridden in bright settings so we're going to ignore it. And then there's 3 types of cones. Red, Green, and Blue. They respond more to different frequencies of light (there's a lot of [overlap]( URL_1 ) with green and red). When you see stuff, the cone nerves wiggle with an intensity equal to how many photons hit your eye. The is brightness, the amplitude of the lightwaves coming in. Depending on which cone nerves wiggle, you pick up what [frequency]( URL_2 ) the lightwave has. If the red cone nerves wiggle while the other cones don't, it looks red. If they all wiggle, it's a mix (and it's a grey-white light). Color is the differentiation between the cones. And a lot of light is a mix of frequencies. (And polarity, which we can't see at all).

 Why does biting aluminum foil feel unpleasant but biting on a metal spoon or fork doesn't?

Aluminum foil is just the processed and pressed, oxidized element; where as steel is a stable alloy, and other flatware materials, like silver, are much less reactive. Due to the Al being raw-ish, when you bite down the foil, your saliva, and your teeth create a mini battery. You may get the same sensation with really cheap or plated silverware, especially if you have metal fillings.

I saw a convincing tweet that the "carbon foorprint" idea was pushed by big oil and industry as a way to distract from us banding together and passing laws to effect change.

 How does an artist go from recording a song to making money off a streaming service (like Spotify) if you can listen for free? Does amount of plays affect how much they make?

Spotify is just the platform. The artists or labels still own the rights. Anyone can put a song on Spotify. You’ve gotta think, Spotify premium is $10/month and I’m sure they have millions of subscribers, then they also have ads that play that I’m sure they make their money from. Each Spotify stream on a song will make like $.00001 or something like that. 1 million streams on a song pays out around $7000

 How early Morse code telegraphs transmitted eletric pulse to that specific sound?

The electrical pulse energizes a solenoid (basically a coil of wire) with a piece of metal inside. This causes the iron to be temporarily magnetized (called an electromagnet). This magnet draws another piece of metal to it (that has a spring attached) and when it strikes, it makes that click sound. When the pulse ends, the electromagnet demagnetizes and the piece of metal is returned by a spring making a return click. That sound is simply pieces of metal striking each other.

 Why in the winter is it still cold when the sun’s out and there’s no clouds, but if it were like that in the summer it’d be awfully hot?

Because the sun is lower in the sky in winter. That means the sun rays hit the earth (where you are) at a flatter amgle. That means more of the heat bounces of and back into space, so the area doesn't heat up as much

 How are we so sure we all see the same colors? like, the color of the sky is blue but how are we sure that the blue we see is the same?

We're not, and we don't. Take colorblind people for example, they don't see the same colours as those without the blindness. Moreover, in my personal experience people often have discussions whether a colour is for example blue or green, meaning that they either don't see it as the same colour or they have different concepts of the colours. Also, some people have an extra photoreceptor meaning that they see additional colours. In general, it doesn't matter whether you see the same colour - as a child you're taught the sky is blue and leaves are green, so whatever you perceive those colours as are now blue and green for you.

 How does a RBMK reactor explode?

Reactors use really hot water that’s maintained at a constant pressure as a coolant. The pressure prevents the water from boiling at its normal temperature. If there is change in this balance and the water turns to steam in the “primary coolant loop” the water becomes ineffective as a coolant. The reactor gets hotter and so does the water. More heat, more steam. This causes a feedback loop and eventually something in the system will break down.

 Why do major competitors such as Burger King and McDonalds put their restaurants right next to each other?

It's a state of compromise that is reached between two competitors who try to corner the same market. Look at it this way, imagine a beach with a single ice cream vendor. It doesn't matter much where he stands as everyone on the beach has to go to him to get ice cream. Now a second vendor enters the fray. They start off by taking opposite sides of the beach, and each have access to about half the people on the beach. But if one of them wants to get increase his sales, he can move closer to the middle of the beach, which would make his stall stand closer to a larger amount of people, effectively giving him an edge over his competitor. When the other guy sees his, he'll move closer to the middle as well to negate that advantage. Now they could just keep moving around daily in an attempt to try and get an edge over the other, but eventually they'll both just end up settling on standing in the middle, giving them both the same amount of access to the clientele.

These bits of light or colour are called *phosphenes*, and are normal to see when in really dark settings, or increased by just about anything stimulating your eye or optic nerve. Pressing one's eyes will cause a lot of phosphenes for example. Seeing them in the dark is also knows as "prisoner's cinema"

A dust devil is a mass of swirling air kinda like a small tornado. It gets its name from picking up dirt as it travels. Tornadoes form from hot and cold air masses spinning from the sky downward. Dust devils form from spinning air from the ground up. Sometimes they can cause damage; however, it is not common. Most will just mess up your hair and pelt you with dirt.

 Why are some people homosexual? Is it the same reason some people have an extra toe?

No one really knows. The general theory is that it's caused by genetics; this has strong backing with several pieces of evidence. Twins are much more likely than most people to share sexual orientation; families tend to have a concentration (or lack of) gay people; and girls who have the same mutation in a particular gene as gay guys tend tø be more attractive and have a stronger sex drive. It's also thought that hormones can affect the expression of this gene; as a mother has more sons, it is increasingly likely for each successive son to be gay.

 Does the size of a brain in any given species always determine intelligence?

Intelligence has a direct correlation to the size of an animals brain when compared to the size of the animal. For instance, we humans have very large brains for our bodies. That means that we have extra processing power beyond what is required for basic motor function. Many birds also have large brains. They can solve problems and simple box puzzles to get food. Dogs on the other hand have proportionally smaller brains than birds or humans. They can recognize commands that they are taught through repetition, but typically cannot solve problems on their own.

 How does wireless charging work?

A moving electrical field creates a moving magnetic field, and a moving magnetic field creates a moving electrical field. Transformers, that change the voltage of a source, work like this, and there is no actual wire connection in a transformer. The magnetic field induces a current in the nearby wire. This is how wireless charging works: it's a "transformer" that uses the magnetic field created by the source to induce an electric current in the receiving device. It's simple but not as efficient as a wired connection. The small amounts of actual energy involved make the efficiency trade-off small enough to live with.

 How do scientists know there is liquid water on planets from other solar systems?

You know how the ocean appears blue? That's because water absorbs other colors in the spectrum. Every substance absorbs light differently. How it absorbs the light is like a signature. When light passes through the atmosphere of an exo-planet, we can compare it to the direct light of the parent star, and see how the colors have changed. That tells us what's in the planet's atmosphere .

 How do chess sites detect cheating?

URL_1 has some sort of "advanced algorithm" that they refuse to release. To me, this proves that the decision is highly subjective. That said...Basically the moves of a player are run against an engine and if they match too closely for too long a period of time, it becomes progressively more likely that the player is cheating with an engine. I was part of an experiment with the creator and owner of URL_2 a few years ago. I was given a bunch of top level correspondence games and a bunch of games from banned URL_0 cheaters and was unable to differentiate the games with any statistically significant accuracy. To make this scientific I'd have to have access to URL_0 's methodology, but it was enough to convince me that cheating detection is highly inaccurate.

You're probably already leaning toward one answer. If they agree with you, it reaffirms that you made the right choice. If they disagree with you, but you disagree with their reasoning, that can again reaffirm you made the right choice. If they disagree with you, and manage to convince you of their reasoning, your choice has changed **and** someone agrees with you, so that's basically the same as if you agreed initially.

 why are we told to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth if all the oxygen gets in your blood stream in the lungs either way? Would it not be better to just breathe in and out of your mouth for the most oxygen?

The nose warms, filters and moistens the air so that it’s ready for the lungs. The mouth just draws in air without warming, filtering or moistening the air. Breathing through your nose reduces the amount of dust and crud that gets in your lungs.
