    Chlorophyll psychological effects

    I believe that chlorophyll's pigment can act as an antidepressant, most activated during spring plant growth (re seasonal affective disorder). A lamp may be designed which utilizes the stimulation of chlorophyll's red, lower energy states to higher energy green states in suspension...

    Summarize the cellular effects of cancer.

    Hullo. I was supposed to briefly summarize the cellular effects of cancer. I was wondering if I should add anything to this: "Cancer on the cellular level is really quite simple. What happens, is that the cancer mutation forces cells to rapidly accelerate all steps of their cycle. The...

    Graviton Effects in Different Media: Investigating the Variations

    Hello everyone! How does the effects of gravitons work in different media? I know it expands with the speed of light, but since light has different speeds in different media, does gravitons aswell? I'd appreciate any answers.

    Beams of light and wave effects .

    Beams of light and wave effects... Let us first think of a ripple tank and how this is used to demonstrate diffraction nad interference- this is one wave front so when passes through small gap curves the wavefront, spreads the wave out and thus causes diffraction. We often use this analogy to...

    What Are the Origins and Limitations of Logic?

    I Know That Logic Is Limited And That We Are Enslaved In Its Confined Boundaries. I Would Like To Hear Your Opinions, My Question's Are: 1. What Is Logic And What Is It A Product Of? 2. Does It Define Things Or Is It Being Defined By Other Higher Things?

    Contraction effects at relativistic velocities

    Just an issue I want to be absolutely clear about. Scenario, WE propell a rod of iron with a dimensions of 100 meters *1 meters through space with the 100 meter length perpedicular to the direction of velocity. So the rod is traveling width edge forward. ( perpedicular to direction)...

    The Geomagnetic Reversal: Its Effects on Earth

    What are all the bad things that would happen if/when the geomagnetic field will reverse polarity? I already have, increased mutations, electronics are extreamly uneconomical, and all the solar wind, CMEs and plasma from the sun hitting earth. What happens to the sun when its poles flip about...

    Exploring the Effects of Space Time Expansion on Unbound Bodies

    It is my understanding, that space time is expanding, and that gravitationally bound bodies will stay unaffected by this expansion while unbound bodies will. but is gravity the only force that can overcome this effect? could magnetic or electro static forces hold bodies in station? I do...

    Dark Matter & Gravitational Effects on Galaxies

    My understanding is that dark matter surrounds a galaxy in a spherical formation. What I don't understand this type of dark matter can explain the non-Kepplerian rotation of the galaxy. According to Gauss's law, in a spherical shell, only the mass inside the orbit of a body has a net...

    GR Questions: Light & Gravity Effects

    I'm not sure what forum I am suppose to post GR questions so I am sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Ok my question is this. In classic phys. Newton required mass to have gravity. I read that in GR einstein required stress energy. If light has not mass or should I say a photon but EM waves...

    What Happens to Gravity Fields When They Change?

    maybe I am having dirreha of the mind but has anyone ever researched, what happens when we change a gravational field does it create someother field? like idk how'd we do this but you'd need to make a huge massive thing and then covert most of it to enegry in a matter of less then a second, does...

    String Theory's Collateral Effects: Particle Quest & SUSY

    I am pondering if the supremacy of fundamental string theory as a model for the smallest description of nature has implied, as collateral damage, a decrease in the interest for the particle quest around the Standard Model. And same for SUSY and other extensions. What do you think?

    How Does Ionization Affect the Behavior and Speed of Air Molecules?

    I'm trying to do some thought experiments involving ionized gas. More specifically, I'm thinking about ionized air. For the sake of argument, let's just imagine that we're ionizing the air by sticking a pin out of a Van de Graaff generator that's positively charged. My main question is this...

    Why Do Placebos Cause Real Effects?

    So what causes this? I was at a clinic the other day, waiting on my girlfriends mom to get out, and was reading a big-muscle-guy magazine. I was looking at the performance enhancers/weight loss formulas/muscle building/etc in there (do any of these really work?), and I noticed ads like this...

    Mass Change in Objects: Investigating the Effects

    what happens when there is a mass change in an object? the mass change is due to its change in its velocity, like when it accelerates from rest to near speed of light, there would be an increase in mass, but how does this happen? would there be a change in the atoms that makes up the object...

    Which bomb explodes first, and why?

    In the twin paradox, the twin who has gone into space and back at relativistic speeds supposedly comes back younger than the one who stayed on earth, the reason being that from the Earth twin's reference frame, time has gone more slowly for space twin. However, what has puzzled me is that from...

    Effects of Gas Release from LPG Cylinder on Contents

    The change in pressure, caused by the release of gas from an Lpg cylinder, will cool the contents. i am pretty sure that it does cool the contents. would the water vapour condense on the surface of the bottle and freeze? if the gas continues to be released.

    Effects of acceleration on black holes.

    If a black hole was sailing across the universe very near to the speed of light, what would the effects be on it? Would the event horizon change in shape, becoming more bulbous or less so in front of it, and would it live longer due to its relativistic velocity? And if you were traveling at...

    Can Gravity Deviate from 1/r² at Short Distances?

    The physics books show as that gravity deppends on distance at 1/r^2. But how we know that that is true at very short distances? Is there any proof? Could gravity deppend on 1/r^n whit n>2 at very short distances? What implications could have?

    How Does Relativity Affect the Perception of a Falling Body Near a Massive Star?
