"How would" has no answer The question "How would wrestling change" is unanswerable. There are many different ways in which a sport could change in a new environment. As with most sports, "wrestl...
Whatever means you use, it would make sense to have two measurements: Time To Destination (TTD) relative to yourself, and TTD relative to the destination. E.g one year for you, two years for the pe...
Drastically. For one thing, pinning your opponent's shoulder to the mat is no longer possible. Very different criteria would be required to determine winning. The different objectives would in t...
Yes. Although this may be streching your definition of oil a bit. The oil product could host some sort of microfauna that cure the product by building EPS microstructures. https://en.m.wikipedia....
How would competitive wrestling change in a microgravity environment?
Theory If I am understanding this history of this correctly, in the 1920s the mathematical process of converting measurements with a certain amount of measurement error into numbers, then doing yo...
Orbital rings are a proposed megastructure intended to dramatically reduce the cost to enter or exit a planetary gravity well. The ring is a solid structure, belting around the planet like a hula h...
Utility fog is a swarm robotics concept in which a mesh of robots barely larger than a grain of pollen (5 micrometer ( $10^{-6} $ m ) bodies and 50 micrometer arms) are dodecahedrons (12 sided pol...
Looks like it may just be mechanical. According to this article, if true, you can rehydrate white glue with water and heat. https://simpleglue.com/how-to-revive-elmers-glue/
Yes, nuclear fission is reversible. Actually, it's more like fission is the reverse of fusion. Fusion is what stars do. Mostly stars fuse hydrogen to make helium. Fusing light elements releases...
Can electricity be generated directly from nuclear decay? It occurred to me that in alpha decay two protons fly off rapidly, leaving their associated electrons behind. If the alpha particle was ca...
Could nuclear energy be a basis for energy storage with foreseeable technology? One approach would be to use excited nuclear states, but I suspect they would be too unstable to ever be useful. Al...
Do {any, some, all} {unicellular, multicellular} plants require free oxygen? For example, would a cabbage asphyxiate over night, or even in daylight, in an oxygen-free atmosphere?
When water is electrolysed with graphite electrodes some of the oxygen reacts immediately with the anode to produce carbon dioxide. Does a similar reaction ever occur at the cathode, producing meth...
Two ideas, prompted by a question I submitted recently. (About the chemistry of PVA glue.) Firstly, the topics are too narrow and exclude many, quite possibility the majority, of likely questions....
What happens when PVA glue sets? I am curious about the white PVA glue that is commonly used for bonding wood and paper. Although an Internet search find lots of articles they mostly seem to be ne...
During the summer of 2022 Europe has had several heat waves. As described in 2022 European heat waves: Climatologists linked the extreme heat to the impact of climate change, and experts predict...
Tornados and the thunderstorms that often spawn them are driven by rising columns of air. Such "thermals" are stronger and more likely in open terrain, like is prevalent in Tornado Alley. Let the...
How could I modify an alternate Earth to have less tornados in the American Great Plains area known as Tornado Alley? Maybe make the Rockies lower? Introduce an east-west range of mountains or high...
For the sake of a fictional story, you should be thoroughly aware that the author is playing as a god. The laws are what you want them to be, and what you say happens is what happens. I am not awa...
Price's Law is a hypothesis that in an organization, or across an industry, roughly half the productive output is being generated by a number of people equal to the square root of those participati...
These WorldFamous companies advertise that their lenses can control myopia for kids, NOT adults. But none of these lenses are approved by FDA. How can they work for adults too? Essilor Stellest ...
While the other posts did already explain the issues with the cube-formed Earth, I just want to give a feeling of the dimensions we are speaking of. Imagine that the centre of the cube's faces are...
I was recently introduced to the South Atlantic Anomaly. As I understand, for satellites and space craft, this is a natural feature that can wreck space craft by taking even computers designed fo...
Under "Making a Good First Impression", a few mechanical notes from someone just making the transition from WB.SE to Codidact - Question titles should probably be at the top of the page, inste...
