If you lock up a very fat person let's say 150kg (330lbs), provided (s)he has access to fresh water, will (s)he come out skinny after a while or just die?	[ "There have been studies where exactly what you suggested was attempted (with consent of the patient) for two months or sometimes even longer for very obsese patients. It worked fine, provided they supported the patient with electrolytes and vitamins. _URL_0_ There is one BIG caveat, though. In some patients, fasti...	[ "The captains basically saw two ways to pack slaves. One way was to transport fewer slaves than the ship could actually carry in hopes of reducing the disease and deaths among slaves, this was called \"loose packing\". The other that you inquire about was the cruel way, \"tight packing\". This way meant that the sl...
Is there a point as the temperature drops that it stops feeling colder? in other words, once a certain temperature is reached does it all just feel the same after that?	[ "You don't feel temperature directly, you feel the rate at which heat leaves your body. So it really depends on the material's heat conductivity and how it's arranged as a heat sink. Generally, the rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to temperature, all else equal, and since you can't reach absolute zer...	[ "Imagine that you want to make a long trip and decide to always go north. It's easy: you know how to use a compass, you just have to follow this direction. But then you reach the North Pole. Some people have warned you that the concept of \"north\" is a bit singular there. Your compass isn't indicating anything use...
In his day was Leopold von Ranke (and his ideas about history being science) as harshly criticised as he is nowerdays by my history department?	[ "My knowledge of this is pure historiography, so maybe a historian of the period can elaborate, but the answer is no. Leopold von Ranke is largely credited with creating the discipline of history itself, so for much of his career he was unassailable. Late in his life there were some critics of his methods, but he w...	[ "[Ptolemy's map](_URL_1_) was one of the first maps of the world. Ptolemy's Geography (written 1st century AD) was a description of the world at the time; this was a text, not a map. There were attempts to translate Ptolemy's Geography into a map in the 15th century, and the result is the image above. There was a s...
Why are countries so hesitant on closing their borders and preventing mass immigration from crossing their borders.	[ "A closed border is more than just a state of mind. It's armed military patrols, it's shooting unarmed civilians, it's an expensive program of detention and deportation that makes your country look ugly and authoritarian to people living within and without. France is getting refugees from the war it started in Liby...	[ "Let's say you have a 7 lane interstate. At each end there is a toll booth. In the past payments were processed manually and there was a receipt that had to print, but the printers were slow. Only do much traffic could get through. Fast forward to the future where you pay with the touch of a button and get an insta...
Very confused about how English Longbows were drawn.	[ "It means that instead of pulling back on the bowstring the archer would push outward with his left hand, keeping the bowstring in its drawn position. By pushing the actual body of the bow forward with his body and not bothering with pulling back the draw you can partially compensate for the rather absurd draw weig...	[ "Ease of use. Becoming proficient with a bow could take years and requires a certain amount of strength. You could teach someone to use a musket in a fraction of the time." ]
What is laminar flow?	[ "All fluid flows can be characterized by the Reynolds Number, the ratio of inertial forces to viscous (think fluid friction). If the Reynolds Number is below a threshold (generally used thresholds are 2300 for flows in a pipe, and 5x10^5 for external flows (like air over a wing). If the Reynolds Number is below the...	[ "The same temperature air comes out either way, it is just the fast air mixes with the cooler surrounding air and also blows away the warm air near the skin." ]
Is it likely there will be a cure of tinnitus in the next 50 years? (tinnitus is a constant ringing in the ears)	[ "It is hard to predict any breakthrough over such a long period of time. Tinnitus is a symptom, not an affliction itself. Depending on the cause, there may be a many different methods to treat it. To me what seems the most likely permanent fix for fifty years of R & D is the use of a [cochlear implant](_URL_1_), on...	[ "In pharmacology the figures of [EC50](_URL_3_) and [IC50](_URL_2_) are measures of how much of a substance is required to induce a desired effect or to inhibit function. These numbers vary a lot depending on the site of action, nature of the pharmacological compound, type of interaction, etc. It is all covered und...
why is making the bottom of a soda can a dome makes it use less metal?	[ "By making it a dome the force of pressure inside is born by the compressive strength of the metal and not by its resistance to bending. This allows a thinner metal to be used." ]	[ "School collects box tops & sends them to the company. The company sends the school money. The idea is that people will buy more products from the company if they know it'll help the local schools. It's just an advertising campaign." ]
Why does it hurt when someone touches my belly button?	[ "This is the best explanation I've ever read: _URL_0_" ]	[ "You should get your blood sugar levels checked. You could be pre-diabetic or hyperglycemic, if you're having that kind of reaction get it checked soon." ]
Why are surfboards so expensive?	[ "Life insurance premiums for board makerscare huge. They breathe in tiny fibreglass particles and sniff chemicals all day. Life expectancy is 55 max. Plus, it takes a long time to make one." ]	[ "Here's a pretty good explainer. _URL_0_ Basically it comes down to different memory, different promises (reliability and service life), and different marketing." ]
(California) What does Proposition 10 about rent control actually will do? What are the pros and cons ?	[ "It repeals a law that prohibits cities from enacting rent control laws. So if it passes nothing would happen or be mandated, but cities would be allowed to do so. Cons are that economists generally say that rent control does not help affordability, and that what really needs to happen is more to be built. Pros ar...	[ "This is a very common question. You can use search to find [all the other really good answers](_URL_0_ ). This is instant, and faster than ust typing in your question every time. It's a way of cheating elections. Read the others, and then ask a more specific question." ]
Mixing hot & cold water	[ "When you pour in the hot water the atmosphere inside the bottle is 1) heated to the temperature of the hot water and 2) saturated with water vapor at the same temperature.

What changes have there been to British soldiers and seamen's rations over time?	[ "It might be useful if you could specify the time period you're looking for. From Elizabethan times to now, for example, or from Nelson's time to the Victorian Navy, then the question will be easier to answer." ]	[ "Can you specify which law you are referring too? (There are several) As to their ability, in the U.K. there isn't a Bill of Rights like in the US. Parliament can pass pretty much whatever it wants and it is only the unwritten understanding of what are fundamental freedoms that would keep them restrained. Also, in ...
Why is it, that when we eat something spicy, like a Jalepeno, we have a harder time eating food that is hot (temperature wise)?	[ "It's because the nerves that detect heat also detect spicy hottness and pain. So if something is spicy lets say 50% of these nerves tell your brain 'hey i detect something here' -your brain obviously knows that these are the hot/spicy/pain guys and thinks\"oh it's probably something spicy\" But when it's also hot ...	[ "The temperature sensors in your skin can only detect relative changes in temperature. Not absolute temperature. You can show this by doing a simple experiment with three cups of water. one cup of ice water, one cup of room temperature water, and one cup of hot water. Place a finger of your right hand in the ice w...
On earth you can reach a stable temperature about 20m underground (I think), would it work the same as on mars?	[ "What you are looking for is Mars Geothermal gradient A brine and clathrate (aqueous liquid) can exist at around 250K the mean surface temperature on Mars is around 220K The vital isotherm for our briny clathrate aqueous liquid is 250K, Isotherms at this tempurature would be found (according to our current, but no...

The form of astrology seen in present-day newspapers was invented in 1930, but "astrology" in general is much older than this. What was astrology like in Europe in 1900? In 1500?	[ "Well, I can't tell you what day-to-day astrology was like for the average person, but I can tell you something about astrology in the 17th century. [This](_URL_0_) is a nocturnal. Basically, you can use it to tell you what time it is using the stars, and a rough idea of your position. That particular nocturnal i...	[ "A solar year lasts 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes. We add in the 5 hours 49 minutes with leap days, but there's still a missing 11 minutes. We had been using the calendar for 1300 years, so those 11 minutes extra added up to 10-12 days or so. In 1752 all the western countries finally switched over to the new, mo...
Was the StG-44 actually the first assault rifle?	[ "So first we really need to define what an assault rife actually is. The most common definition one usually hears is magazine fed, intermediate cartridge and has the ability to fire in single shot and some manner of automatic.

Why is 440 hertz the standard for tuning? If it’s so important, why isn’t “A major” the default music key instead of “C major”?	[ "Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember, back when these conventions were being made the minor scale was actually more predominant than the major scale in music. So when music gradually shifted to being major dominant the \"default key\" shifted from A minor to C major." ]	[ "Science. The food manufacturer doesnt know how long it takes for your oven to heat up. But they do know that when its 400° its at 400°. They know how long it needs to cook for at specific temperatures.

How does crude oil price affect the world economy so much?	[ "It is one of the primary sources of energy for humans. It is part of the cost of manufacturing and transporting just about everything, so the price of oil affects the cost to manufacture and transport things." ]	[ "Badly... People would use it as an excuse to do stupid things like steal, kill and commit other crimes." ]
Why does being wet make us sensitive to wind?	[ "Evaporation sucks up heat. Wind/moving air increases the rate of heat transfer between two objects, and so it makes the water evaporate more quickly. This is why you sweat - it cools you off. But if you're not hot enough to be sweating, it means that water evaporating off your skin makes you feel cold." ]	[ "It is a matter of heat transfer. Specifically the heat transfer coefficient. Compare the coefficients of the two and you will see that your body (mostly fluid water) transfers heat energy more effectively through fluid rather than air." ]
Has anyone ever been successful in faking their own death?	[ "If they successfully faked their death, doesn't that mean no one would know?" ]	[ "_URL_2_ columnist William Saletan waded into this issue several years ago with similar questions to yours.

It's an interesting journey with commentary from psychologists, statistician...
Why would anyone want to limit or reduce the funding/laws towards the environment.	[ "Several reasons: - Personal profit and short-term thinking; - Not believing that the problems are real; - Believing that market forces will solve the problems (generally accompanied by a belief that government intervention is a bad thing in just about everything); - An expectation that technology will solv...	[ "Money and politics pretty much, NASA's budget is nothing compared to what is used to be and back then US was completing with Russia to be the first to the moon" ]
How do the web sites that charge for reverse number lookups and background checks get their information?	[ "They buy the information from other data aggregators." ]	[ "Depends on the country. Some countries have laws in place that ensure equal service for all providers using the same network, i.e. the network owner aren't allowed to diminish the service in any way for providers who \"rent\" their network. As for your particular example, they're both owned by the same corporation...
why health insurance companies have special enrollment periods?	[ "To fight off \"adverse selection\". In other words, so that you can't buy insurance each time you get sick and then drop it each time you feel better. An alternative to that would be to exclude pre-existing conditions coverage, but that is hard to enforce because it is much harder to say your didn't know your hou...	[ "You pay extra for HBO.

Are diode lasers considered solid-state lasers or semiconductor lasers?	[ "They mean the same thing. Or rather, semiconductor lasers are a subset of solid state lasers." ]	[ "* LED: Standard display using LED backlights to light up the display screen * OLED: Does not use backlights, the physical screen produces the light * AMOLED: Each pixel can be turned on/off individually, thus saving power * SuperAMOLED: The screen has a touchscreen built in, rather than being a separate layer on t...
What is it in most animals that makes them "shut down" with a blindfold on?	[ "You try walking around with a blindfold on and see how long it takes for you to hurt yourself. Now amplify the fear you should feel by a million because animals don't have hospitals and minor injuries can easily be fatal. Also, there are things that will eat them. There aren't things that would eat humans really....	[ "Your brain cells require a lot of energy to work at full capacity, and your visual processing center is a fairly large portion of your brain (relative to the amount of space your eyes take up on your body). Put simply, your brain can choose which incoming sensory information is worth dedicating chemical energy to ...
When running, what causes a stitch?	[ "It's breathing on the same time that one foot hits the ground- that can cause your diaphragm to cramp since one side is constantly stressed. Try and vary your breathing so the same side isn't striking the ground and it should be fine" ]	[ "How do you know you don’t have exercise induced asthma?" ]
Where do bugs like Fireflies go during the 9 months of the year that I don't see them?	[ "Fireflies come out in early summer to mate, then lay eggs in the soil. The eggs hatch in late summer as glowing larvae (known as glowworms) which forage through the rest of the summer and hibernate through the winter (some species hibernate through several winters). In late spring they pupate, emerging as fireflie...	[ "Although flying in a straight line may be a more energy efficient path, the erratic flight patterns mean that their movement is less predictable by predators such as birds. Overtime this evolutionary advantage has stuck." ]
Taiwan is proposing to increase voltage from 110 to 220 volts for new buildings to conserve energy. How does voltage increase conserve energy?	[ "By increasing the voltage you are reducing the amount of amps which will flow, as voltage is proportional to the current. Volts = Current x Resistance (V=IR) Power can be calculated by the following equation. Power = Current Squared x Resistance The resistance in powerlines can’t really be changed too much, so i...	[ "Fluid Mechanics guy here, When you feel cool, it's because you are losing heat. In a fluid such as air, heat is transferred via convection. All things held equal, the amount of heat transferred through convection depends on the differences in temperature and velocity between the fluid and your body. The faster and...
How can a picture taken with a camera look better than with human eyes?	[ "You're probably looking at a picture that has HDR techniques applied to it - essentially they take several pictures - some adjusted to bring out the details in the shadows (but bleaching out the highlights) and some to bring out details in the highlights (but voiding out the shadows) and then all the exposures are...

Why does squeezing a stress ball make us feel better?	[ "Alright, so a theory dictates that when someone is under stress, their brain takes in information in two ways: your primal sensory channel (touch, sight, sound, etc.), and your intellectual channel, which is how your brain tries to make sense of everything and put it into words. Researches conducted showed that w...	[ "Talking completely out of my ass here, maybe it has to do with some instinctive grooming drive that we inherited from our ancestors.

Why does having a window down when you're nauseous help keep you from vomiting?	[ "So, one of the reasons we get motion sick is because the brain cannot rationalize the movement of a car with our bodies movement. Basically, we're moving, but the brain can't figure out why because we are not physically moving. This sort of disorientation in our equilibrium is attributed to poison or toxin by our ...

Why is there only 1 species of human left and can we still evolve into a new species?	[ "We are the only currently surviving species. It's unlikely in our present state that we will evolve into 2 different species of human. However, if everything does stay how it is now we will eventually evolve so that we couldn't interbreed with someone who you froze today and then thawed out one day in the future....	[ "Actually this probably wouldn't have to take thousands of years, with the way we breed horses.

Why do printers do "something" for 1-2 minutes each time I want to print a paper that prints in 5 seconds?	[ "When you let an inkjet printer sit idle for a day or more, the ink that is on the ends of the ink jets tends to dry out and get gunky. When the printer turns back on, it rubs the ink jets against a small sponge to get the gunk off. Also: sometimes, the print head contains a little sensor that says \"I've bumped in...
