Why I checked Google Map the Straits of Hormuz it looks like nothing from the west is going through it? I mean Ships go through Suez Canal then Red Sea then Yemen then Asia.
However it looks FROM THE MAP there isn’t a passing river or canal though Iraq to Hormuz? So the blockade won’t block any ship? Someone correct me.
And if it’s OIl coming from Saudi Iraq or Kuwait can’t the put it in Tankers on the other side?
From the explainlikeimfive community on Reddit: ELI5 Why is Elon musk and humanity trying to establish a civilization or live on Mars before they try it on our moon? Isn’t it going to be easier plus have salvage options should something go wrong?
reddit.comI got this post in sleep but here it is too. They say we go from stage 1-4 then REM sleep? And repeat this cycle for two or more times? So does this mean we have two totally different dreams per night or do the dreams continue from where they left off?
Also why do I dream just 15 minutes from resting
I know AI hasn’t got Qualia but can it already think and reason like we do? Yes or no?
And is consciousness required to reason?
Is there a qualifier for that Science is empiricism? In the sense that who is the actual observer? An average person? the most number of humans? What?
I mean we need not even include cases of the most obvious outliers such as the blind or colour blind. The following case shows this perfectly.
For instance Brownian motion that is particles in a Perrin dish moving jerkily due to being bombarded by molecule particles.
Now for a person whose eyes are not that sensitive, he may genuinely be unable to observe this Brownian motion. He may only see a slight general movement of the particle after a long time.
Now so from the perspective of this person Brownian motion does not exist?
So philosophically how do we treat such cases? Science is empiricism but empiricism from whose lens? The general population? From most people? Whose lens?
Nowadays since 1960 onwards there’s scuba for those interested in the deep sea. Now before this in ancient history when people wanted to explore the deep ocean what did people do?
reddit.comI have heard of this meme. Science is about empiricism and theory based on that data. Philosophy is about who has the most convincing argument. How true is this? (The latter point)
reddit.comDo scientists still have samples of SARS viruses? 2. I heard Small pox viruses there is copies kept? Is it better or not to have such copies or is to better to have them destroyed from the world?
reddit.comIf temperature is just vibration of molecules, why does compression causes heat and decompression cooling?
You see when things are more packed, they have less room to vibrate no?
Edit 1: I still don’t get it. You see just Imaging If you have a micro tweezer and hold each molecule and electron still the temperature is zero? So this compression is another way to achieve it by packing it up to even solid from fluid.
Edit:2 If the slight movement from compression is the one which leads to rises in temperature, shouldn’t shaking or stirring cause more temperature raises?
ELI5 Why can’t we invest and fertilize large swaths of the Sahara desert to bring down CO2 levels and fight global warming
reddit.comThey say heat is a form of energy? Then in daytime it is often very hot why can’t they harness the heat to something useful
reddit.comWhat if the enormous fleet used by Cheng Ho was used to conquer Japan instead?
reddit.comWhy does NAGAworld have so much heat? I made a dubious play and it’s like the whole security four and pit supervisor too will come and inspect me
Is there usually heating around?
What does it take to be a bad dive? How many conditions are there?

This is are very real life, Very practical Qs I have seen mentioned many times. Now I don’t want to start many threads so 2Qs. First. I saw many many videos when people try to jump down from the moving train, practically all of them just jump or step down gently thinking this is the safest way to
Escape without injury. Actually it is totally wrong isn’t it? You want to use ALL YOUR ENERGY to jump away from the train in the direction opposite the train is moving. So like 80 degrees towards the hind of the train. The 10 degrees is so you don’t get caught at the wheels and go under.
The next conflicting answer is when you have a solid steel under me or I am in an elevator and falling down from like seven stories, what is the best pose to take. The answers I have been getting is that it’s always better to stand so your force is absorbed by your body before the head.
However on the other hand the Laying flat on steel answer seems intuitive to me. It’s like your head is on steel already you can’t bump it on anything anymore. Like from seven stories yes the force if you stand you are going to go down with the sudden deceleration at the end and bump your head. If your head is on the steel already how to bump or hit your head?
Can Physics answer these?
How do you deal with the fear your friends, relatives are dying and those younger generation basically are strangers to you?
I mean it is a unique and strange real life scenario what is the best way to navigate this?
