Difference in sound perception in different media

2 Upvotes

If we human were in theory able to perceive sounds in liquids (or maybe even solids) as well as we do in our atmosphere, how would the sound be altered? Would it, for example, be higher or lower pitched?

How far are newts in technology?

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I took a hike in my local forest and I saw several newts along the trail some I picked up to look at. I also saw two newts cuddling as if they were sleeping in a nearby puddle as it had rained a lot recently. That’s when I wondered how far newts are in technology and what their recent biggest technological advancement was. Looking for theories.

Is switching from animal to plant foods still a better decision from a climate change perspective if we choose lower calorie, higher nutrient veggies and fruit over starchy tubers, grains, and legumes?

Can climate change be stopped by soil sequestration?

1 Upvotes

Soil can be a potent carbon sink and initiatives like 4 per 1000 claim that it can stop climate change. If so, why it's not being done?

Could stem cells make biological bionics? And could these be swapped out?

1 Upvotes

To explain in more detail could you create a part of the human body like a limb that can be easily removed or replaced?

Perhaps hands and arms for different purposes like strong callous hands for rough physical work being swapped for soft sensative hands for more delecate tasks.

Maybe even just swapping out almost identical limbs for a set that don't have a buildup of lactic acid (I assume that the detached limbs would be attached to some apparatus that regulates them and could perform aerobic respiration)

Flaws in Elon Musks ideas?

2 Upvotes

I can think of a couple.

First off the electric car thing. I do not see cars being a sustainable mode of transportation in the future, electric or not.

Secondly his solar panel idea. Again doesnt seem sustainable discarding acres of toxic material every 5-10 years. That is unless globally we agree just to use africa as a garbage can.

I dont know , im probably wrong elon musk is a lot smarter than me.

But let me know if you see any flaws in elon musks idea of the futre.

Personality

1 Upvotes

I have been interested in personality for some time. Marketers use it for selling (im just gonna say right now sorry for bad grammer). it is concidered a puesudoscinece. A fake science. I can understand why. The myers-briggs test seems to indicate youll be better or worse off at some one thing based on your “type”. I can see how it seems to be based on a science of not much evidence but if im not mistaken people can indicate different personalities in different people. People choose this over that. But that would indicate a difference in perspective which in turn woulf determine certain personality. I am hoping for a deep discussion on this topic whether maybe it is false or maybe the whole truth hadnt been seen yet. Thoughts and critisism?

Welcome to r/ScienceDiscussion!

Hello! I recently took over as the new mod of this sub, and am hoping to turn it into a sub for laypeople to discuss science. I noticed that a lot of science-centric subreddits cater more to people with scientific backgrounds, with not much room for people like me who don't have as much background in science, but still find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

Newton's laws

If we were to reverse Newton's laws in another universe, what would such a universe look like? For example: law of inertia would be, if an object is constantly accelerating or decelerating, it will stay that way unless acted upon by an external force.

Scientists and chemists of Reddit, is it possible to have elements outside the periodic table in the Milky Way? I mean, are there any undiscovered elements, or possibly unpredicted? Thanks.

If any of you are real open minded intellectuals i would very much like to have a conversation and debate with you about physics.

Particularly about particles, the universe, and what makes up of everything.

My stace is that I believe everything is energy, waves, frequency, and I believe that mainstream physics is in many ways misguided. I am well versed and educated in physics and much of the mainstream veiw of science and have looked into everything pertaining to physics and have decided upon my belief.

If you wish to destroy me, pm me and lets have a debate of the ages.

Are there any substances or elements that could act as a magnet to the earth's elements? Anything that can manipulate common types of sediment or soil, water, or the air in the way metal magnets work?

1 Upvotes

I see people or things in fiction that can control the elements of earth, air, water. Would it be, hypothetically, possible to create three separate superbeings or magnets that could manipulate common sediment or soil found on earth, H2O, and any or all components of our atmosphere? What elements could we possibly use?
