Fwiw the national measuring system is metric, it changed in the 70s. But nobody adopted it.

Kudzu and other invasive species can have a significant impact on native plant and animal populations, so it's important to address these issues as well.

The difference is that the plant species composition in the upper basins of the Wind River Range has changed.

But, was there a banana in the bowl of Rice Krispies for scale?

The USA is best known as the country that will do anything to avoid using the metric system.

Paper this article is based on: https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/10.0016878

> Significant results include: (a) the solid rocket boosters' ignition overpressure is particularly intense in the direction of the pad flame trench exit; (b) post-liftoff maximum overall levels range from 127 to 136 dB, greater than pre-launch predictions; and (c) the average maximum one-third-octave spectral peak occurred at 20 Hz, causing significant deviation between flat and A-weighted levels.

I'm just lost on how they quantify the "crackling quality" :D

>At a 5.2 km distance, the noise was 129 decibels, nearly 20 decibels higher than predicted by a prelaunch noise model.

That's about the same level as a jackhammer ... but over 3 miles away.

Seeking therapy or psychological evaluation after traumatic experiences can help in managing PTSD and anxiety disorders.

Excerpt from the linked release^1 by AIP Publishing about noise measurements taken at five stations located 1.5 km to 5.2 km from the launch pad:^2

>When the Artemis 1 mission was launched by NASA’s Space Launch System, SLS, in November, it became the world’s most powerful rocket, exceeding the thrust of the previous record holder, Saturn 5, by 13%.

>With liftoff came a loud roar heard miles away.

>In JASA Express Letters, published on behalf of the Acoustical Society of America by AIP Publishing, researchers from Brigham Young University and Rollins College in Florida reported noise measurements during the launch at different locations around Kennedy Space Center.

>The data collected can be used to validate existing noise prediction models, which are needed to protect equipment as well as the surrounding environment and community.

>These data will be useful as more powerful lift vehicles, including the SLS series, are developed.

> 

>“We hope these early results will help prevent the spread of possible misinformation, as happened with the Saturn 5,” author Kent Gee said.

>“Numerous websites and discussion forums suggested sound levels that were far too high, with inaccurate reports of the Saturn 5’s sound waves melting concrete and causing grass fires.”

>A characteristic feature of rocket launches is a crackling sound from shock waves.

>These shocks represent instantaneous sound pressure increases that are much louder than crackling noises encountered in everyday life.

>Author Whitney Coyle said, “We found the Artemis-I noise level at 5 km had a crackling quality about 40 million times greater than a bowl of Rice Krispies.”

"The Body Keeps the Score" is a great book that delves into the effects of trauma on the body.

Like in a building or in nature?

Ah I'm finally motivated enough that my cry for help from 15 years ago can end me~

Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

In some areas, the altitude and temperature are simply too extreme for trees to grow, but this is not the case everywhere.

And multiple uses as cable. Woven into cohesive fibres that are further woven into fabric or "rope"/cable, the traditional usage. Extremely low electrical resistance means collercial scale production could lead to lower cost conductors for megavolt-scale transmission

I'm at a normal bmi. I work out and eat right... but my body loves to pack on weight in all in those key spots.. ..I'll never be thin there .

Thos is how research works. People have an idea. They do a lot of testing, and figure out a process that works. They say, "Hey, check out what we did!" Someone else, who was looking at something else, perhaps in a completely different field, learns about this and it leads to some practical advance in the world at large. Kind of like seeing salt making frog legs jump leading to lithium ion batteries.

You'll probably be dead long before you get a chance to be disappointed, so at least there's that.

More vegetation can be good, but it can also impact the ecosystem in complex ways, potentially leading to extinctions and other negative outcomes.

Back in my day we got a 1/4 orange slice at half time and we were happy to get it.

It's slowing. Education for women is key.

Like someone said, this is r/science, not r/futurism or something. This is science and is fine the way it is.

So then why are trees growing at higher altitudes.?

Well to be fair, the act of weaving is specifically for making tiny strips into long ropes. Maybe they just need a super small weaver?

Also, carbon nanotubes have utility beyond being cables.
