    Medical Hydrogen water, any good?

    Well, at least you can light your burps and amaze people. Just don't breathe in when you do it! :-D Seriously, though, it amazes me how scams persist because people are desperate to believe in things. The public seems to not realize that the number of self-consistent bogus hypotheses that one...

    Undergrad Why does my ceiling glow in the dark?

    You said the light had burned out. Was it a fluorescent light? They can give off very faint glows if the switch has not cut off 100.000% of the current. Of course, the lamp would be unlikely to project light into one spot, but you are already in the land of unlikely events, so I thought I would...

    Undergrad Equipment for simple spectrometer

    Well, I have at least learned something from your reply, even from the question. It never occurred to me I could have a simple spectrometer. For the next comment, can you explain to me what I will use it for? =;-D [No reply needed. How you folks have such relatively kindly replies often feels...

    Any stereo audio learning resources for other languages?

    To be clear, I actually spoke better Spanish before I met my Spanish-speaking wife. She has not been patient enough and my Spanish has actually declined due to lack of study since I met and married her! Go figure!

    Any stereo audio learning resources for other languages?

    "Needs"? Well, for basic Spanish it can be enough. Listening only to the "Learn in Your Car" Spanish series from Peloton Press (out of business now), playing their CDs and using the printed material (word-for-word) to clarify the audio content, I was able to engage in conversational Spanish...

    COVID Is it usual for vaccine injection site to hurt again during infection?

    Remember, too, that correlation is not causation. Out of the absolutely massive population of all people getting COVID, one or more might also have an unrelated problem in the location where they got their shot.

    M 4.8 - Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, US

    For the record, some of us most definitely were moved by this earthquake. I was in Summit, NJ at my dentist. Despite my reclining in a chair, I felt the building detectably sway (or roll like a particle on the ocean surface?). At first, it was more like truck or construction noise with a strong...

    New Insight into the Chemistry of Solvents

    It's clickbait. You didn't miss anything in the article. In a particular solvent, it is more energetically favorable for the solvent to move like charges closer together. The charges are still repelling each other, of course.

    New Insight into the Chemistry of Solvents

    The headline and claim that opposites don't always attract is clickbait. The particles still exhibit repulsive force. The solvent is doing it's own work and bringing them together.

    What happens to the IR radiation that the Greenhouse gases don't absorb?

    Sorry. My assumption was improper. :-b

    What happens to the IR radiation that the Greenhouse gases don't absorb?

    From what I am reading, I think you are confusing emission and absorption. The reality is that airborne and spaceborne sensors are simply measuring all of the emitted radiation that reaches them. They don't measure atmospheric absorption. That can be inferred later. Some of that radiation...

    High School Deceptively simple geometry question on SAT test

    I hope I am not supposed to hide this somehow (I don't know how). I skipped the answers, but certainly being warned this is a trick question helped. My answer is four and I am very confident on that, just based on basic principles. I bet others got this, too, but (like me) would have answered...
