    Please Help with bonding frequencies

    Hi I need all the bonding frequencies for all the elements in the human body, IE: carbon-carbon single bond frequency of 1300 cm - 1. It is very important to have the single, double and triple bonds because I am doing something that will require them all. It would also be helpful if someone...

    I Moment of inertia of human body with limbs at an angle

    I'm trying to find the moment of inertia of a human body with (say) the upper arm at angle alpha to the torso and the lower arm at another angle beta, where beta is the angle between the lower and upper arms. I model the torso as a cylinder of radius R, mass M and the parts of the arm as...

    Surviving in Space: The Truth About Human Adaptation and Evolution

    I want to know the answers to the following: 1. What REALLY happens to the naked human body in the void of space (the areas far between galaxies, where nothing really exists)? 2. Can humans evolve and adapt to survive in space? 3. (Adding on to the previous) can we slowly depressurize (akin to...

    B What Would Happen to the Elements in the Human Body If Teleported to the Sun?

    The human body is made up of mostly oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus. Less than 1% is sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. If a human body was teleported to the surface of the sun, what would happen to these elements? Which ones would cease to exist...

    Is there a way to use the hydrogen in the human body?

    I recently read that there is enough hydrogen in the human body to lift 195 lbs off the ground. I know this sounds super-silly but if we ever develop nanites; could they manipulate the hydrogen and allow us to float?

    Can the human body produce EMPs?

    I'm sure this is a strange question, but I am really curious as to whether the human body can produce electromagnetic pulses. And particularly, whether an orgasm is a type of EMP. Wikipedia says an orgasm is "a sudden discharge of accumulated sexual excitement". So is this discharge of...

    Human body growth in the absence of a brain

    Hi, Does the brain control the physical growth of a human baby? I think if, for some unfortunate reason, the brain is absent, the growth would still take place normally but more like a vegetable. I don't think if the brain is absent, one can even blink the eye or move a finger. But the...

    What is the impedance of the human body and why does it vary?

    I was researching what the total electrical resistance of the human body was and got some quite far ranging values. It seems to range from 1, OOO to 1OO,OOO ohms. Some quite elaborate ways of testing it too. Then I thought I'd just get the old multimeter out. I have two and both measured about...

    Understanding frequency calculations of an object (e.g human body)

    Apologies for the noob question. The frequency of the human body can be calculated based on weins law as follows: Wavelength = 0.002898/310 = 0.00000934838 m Plugging this into the equation λν = c we get frequency = 299792458 / 0.00000934838 = 32069 Ghz Elsewhere, I see that the resonant...
