    The Mysterious, Impossible Box: Questions & Answers

    Mass and weight are two different things, this is correct. Weight is relative. For example, something with a certain mass will have a a different weight on the moon than on the earth. Although the mass does not change, the weight does. In this case, weight is relative to gravity.

    Medical Is Drinking Liquids While Eating Beneficial for Digestion?

    That's right yes. All I could remember was the connection between low pH and protein. :)

    The Mysterious, Impossible Box: Questions & Answers

    Just my 2 cents, but if photons are massless particles, how can an increase in their concentration cause an increase in mass? I would think the box would see an increase in pressure and temperature but not an increase in mass?

    Medical Is Drinking Liquids While Eating Beneficial for Digestion?

    It's a little off topic, but I do know that drinking high pH (basic) liquids, or eating foods that have a high pH hampers the effectiveness of digestion.

    Medical Is Drinking Liquids While Eating Beneficial for Digestion?

    Saliva only aids in the digestion of food until it reaches the stomache. The amount of saliva produced would be more to do with the length of time the food was chewed for rather than if there was a presence of another liquid (although I'm just guessing). However, seeing how water is needed for...

    Polarized light filtering question.

    Hello all, I'm new to the board here. I have been scratching my head over an example in one of the books I was reading so I looked it up on google. I found an explanation differing from what i'd read, so I thought I would pose the question to this community and see what you think. I have no...
