Reply to Once manufacturing moves almost entirely into space and the workers want drugs, gambling and prostitution and wanted criminals on Earth can escape to space, the solar system away from gravity wells will become largely lawless. Who will do the policing and how? by [deleted]
Whomever stands to gain from policing the space. A mining corp might have private security, a criminal organization might want to maintain control by eliminating other criminals. But this is a science reddit, not science fiction

Reply to comment by AshFraxinusEps in ELI5: Why do so many fruits have seedless varieties but the apple and cherry do not? by JanaCinnamon
Just planting seeds isn't enough. If it was a hybrid they often don't have viable offspring or the offspring are different from parent hybrid plants.
The last stalk of silphium was given to empower Nero. They knew exactly what the plant was and they knew when it was no longer being cultivated.

we don't know for sure the identity of the plant. good luck planting every seed from every archeological site in the Roman empire to see which is silphium

Reply to (eli5)Why is Islam not banned? by Realistic_Soup8881
Islam is not bad. People of Islamic faith are, in general, not bad.
There are certainly some bad apples... Religious fundamentalist fascists governments that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to repress their people yes. Religious fundamentalist terrorists that use Islamic tenets as an excuse to perpetrate violence, yes. But these are faults of men, not Islam

Uranium. Element 92.
Since it is quite radioactive it is primarily used for nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons. Uranium isotopes with less radioctivity is used for bullets & armor. Formerly used in the glass industry to make green/yellow tinted glass

not a bomb. It's a powder form of purified uranium ,after being mined & extracted but before being refined further into fuel or enriched

Reply to ELI5: How do a bunch of lightly-electrified cells turn into consciousness? What causes the system to go from a “meat computer” to the subjective and immeasurable experience we call consciousness? by uniqueUsername_1024
I think we need to grow some full size human brains in a lab and ask them (with imaging, dissection, and every other test conceivable) before we get any real answers
Doing cool things with microbrains already

You get different mutated strains each year. You also get respiratory viruses of different types (flu, rhinovirus, coronoviruses, rsv, etc)
some people having the same illness seasonally can also be attributed to environmental or other seasonal habits (cold dry air , more indoor activities, interaction with asthma , copd etc) with seasonal temperature and humidity conditions making someone prone to respiratory infection

Fun note with structural colour: our eyes don't have any blue pigment, but we do have blue structural colour.

You don't need air to push off of. Rockets, chemical thrusters, and ion engines work in space because they spit out some sort of propellant, spitting out mass in one direction pushes the ship in the opposite direction
nuclear bombs also work in space, you drop nukes behind you and they can push your craft in your desired vector
once you have reached your desired speed, you don't need to do anything to keep going. you WILL need to expend energy or mass to slow down when you reach your destination

It's an unmanned flight that will ORBIT the moon, then come back and the empty crew capsule will land in the ocean.

Reply to ELI5: Why do you need to do breaths during cpr? by [deleted]
We don't use up ALL the oxygen in a breath of air.
There's certainly LESS oxygen available, but some is better than none.
