In SPH 4U1, (Ontario Grade 12 Physics) we learn the attempts to stop the affects that the human body experiences when in prolonged periods of time in space; such as muscle decay, loss of bone density, etc. So we learn of the attempts to use centripetal force and angular motion to cause a 9.8...

Hello, I've been taught in high school that the most sensitive part of the human body was the index finger. However recently I've read that it is the clitoris... But I've a doubt if it is true. I'd like to know the sensitivity of the human eye. I don't have any anatomy book nor medical...

The power per unit area radiated by an ideal blackbody radiator is P/A = σT4, where P = power, A = surface area, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is σ = 5.67 ×10−8 W m−2 K−4, and T = temperature (in the absolute kelvin scale). How much power is radiated by the human body? Calculate the total...

Hello, Would it be possible to clone a whole new human body and then transfer your existing brain to the clones body. Would that be like having a fresh new body? Would you be able to live forever if you repeated the process? I'm sure that there would be many complications. However if they...
