Ask Science@lemmy.world•Why is DNA in a helix? And since we've known about it for a while how come we can't gene edit? If a kid is 90 percent going to be not "normal" then edit the gene and give him or her the best shot?English
1·18 days agoI guess I should have said why do they not look like rungs on a regular ladder but a ladder that is twisted? And how does one side know which spot to connect to on the other side?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Maybe the wrong place but here it goes why does the US government not donate more money to the maths and sciences? When our whole country/world would be shit without scientists?English
2·18 days agoWhat is always burnt into my mind is I think it was NDT who showed a dollar bill and used a red pen/marker and the amount that goes to nasa and scientist. But as a society we cannot invest in scientific groups to better society. We just throw money at these corps and expect results. But that money goes from top down. Trust me I know it’s why I lied on my taxes for like 10 years and gave the money to my uncle who is a safety coordinator. The thing is I don’t get is how he went from a pepsi saleman/deliver for 15 years to nasa. And how they gave him a safety coordinator job.

1·18 days agoSee that’s what I don’t get. Not calling you a liar or anything cause I hear the argument a lot. But if they are aligned with the government wouldn’t it behoove the government to dump a shitton of money into these companies scientists so that way they can come up with more drugs, generic or name brand, and the companies would have about 100 year life span.

Ask Science@lemmy.world•How does gravity bend time and how come we don't feel it or realize it?English
1·24 days agoIs this why light cannot pass through a black hole? Probably a dumb question but doesn’t the light go into a singularity? And is that singularity like a fixed point in time?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Looking for science experts or person who just know a bunch about science and history to do an AMA on c/askhistorians. If you can't do it can you point me in the right direction?English
1·28 days agoCan you at least talk about your field and stuff? Like that past in those area’s. Or just willing to answer questions as best you can. We are really relaxed, we can go with any date and time you choose and will nip trolls and douches in the bud immediately. No pressure but you would be our first.

1·28 days agoDam know anything about history would love you if you contributed more than just me at !askhistorians@lemmy.world . Still getting it off the ground from a person or bot named karmabot. We are looking for people to help maybe get some ama’s going and stuff.

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Forgetting all fiction what is the current status of time travel theories? Is it any way close to what we learn in school where time is linear and that's it? Or if so does it have something deeper?English
12·1 month agoIsn’t space travel based on speed?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Don't know if putting this right. But how much forcer is needed to break gravity? Like how much does the space shuttle require to get past earth gravity and use the moons gravity to get further??English
1·1 month agoAnother question. You always hear and see jets break the sound barrier but when they put their “boost” is there a point where they can’t break the speed barrier traveling upwards? Or can you only break sound barrier within the confines of the earth.

2·1 month agoKind of off topic. But people who came up with superheros and such who fly. You always see them going out at an angle and going in at an angle. Do you think they did this much studying or is it just coincidence?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Every year A Christmas Story comes on. Every year we watch it. Please explain to me how BB gun or any gun can take out your eye? What is the science behind it.English

11·2 months agoOk. I guess I ment if a BB gun taking out your eye realistic? Or is it the same as like a back fire of a gun? If so how come we never hear it talked about with modern stuff?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•How do rapist and pedophiles work? I can kind of get the sex thing being like a release or whatever. But what about the power aspect? What is going on in the brains and chemically in the body?English
11·2 months agoHighjacking the top question. But I asked this before and it get downvoted to oblivion. It is in my opinion a decent question about the make up of a human body and serotoninc and bloodflow. What is wrong with the question? Is it taboo or just people don’t like to think about it?

1·2 months agoWell kind of the sex aspect. I was wondering how it chemically worked or biology worked in the body. It just can’t be a serotonin high. The brain still has to rush blood to the penis to get hard. But what causes that difference of such a abhorrent acts? Is it serotonin for both? If so how does it differ between places to send it? Is it a combination of blood flow and serotonin working together? Is so how so? Does our bodies do that for any other things?
My thing is I have a fear of starting it. I never did a diet and it seems to me too easily done. I just wonder how people start it. Like do they set a specific date and gorge themselves on the stuff they like before hand because they know they won’t have it again while dieting? But I am a huge pain junky. I was on Zoprazadone once and it felt like my stomach was eating itself. So I changed meds. Will power is not really a big deal as long as I can turn it into like a habit like people do with coffee and cigs in the morning.
