Ionic bonds are based on electrostatic attraction (differences in electronegativity). Covalent bonds are usually stronger because electrons are shared between atoms. Ionic bonds>polar covalent bonds>nonpolar covalent bonds when it comes to the differences in electronegativity of atoms but...

I believe this has to do with the difference in electronegativity. Lithium has a higher electronegativity.

The only health risk I've heard of is thinning the blood. That's only a concern when you're taking a really high dose. I read somewhere about this guy who was part of an experiment taking like five times the recommended dosage. I can't verify the accuracy or validity of the experiment, but the...

Yes. I'm undergrad right now, but I plan on going to grad school for physics too. For some reason, education is structured in such a way that math and physics aren't really taught hand in hand. I'm learning all this seemingly pointless calculus but I've realized that it's all building towards...

Side note, if you're really interested about this stuff you should consider formal education. I'm in a similar situation as you. I have all these great ideas and theories but since I lack the proper education, I have more questions than anything. If you think about it, much of the physics we...

Is the dillution rate constant? If not, then, would light from a flashlight have limited range because the photon dillution rate is much higher than the rate of the light from stars?

But then doesn't that imply that photons decay? If so then, shouldn't all photons decay at the same rate? Which means that the light from stars shouldn't be visible. Sorry, I'm a noob. I googled a lot of info but it's hard for me to find accurate and very specific answers to very specific...

Also, let's say that the object has acceleration. I know this would affect the airflow but how?

Are you certain that this is true? Could you explain the logic please? So then a supercavitation type of phenomenon would be possible but with a vacuum. Would you mind elaborating please. Thanks

No, the object is not inside an enclosure. I was thinking of any type of sealed object traveling through the sky.

What is different about the photons from a star compared to something man-made which allows it to travel so far?

If you were to destroy all the air around an object, would that give you a temporary vacuum or would the air be replaced so quickly that it wouldn't make a difference?

I believe the evidence is fairly inconclusive. ALA definitely has some benefit but it doesn't seem to be known exactly how or why.

I'm not quite sure what the question is but the speed of light is constant from every reference point. Light can only move at 200% speed relative to another photon moving in the opposite direction.

You're right. I forgot to mention algae. It is believed that algae is the reason that fish have such high concentrations of DHA.
