What is the science behind blonde hair?
I've heard it's the same thing as brown hair genetically except the distribution of a brown eumelanin is more sparse. Is this true?
Or maybe there are other differences?
If so, does this rule also applies to red hair?
To grey eyes? Hazel eyes? Light brown skin?
I'm not quite sure, because I'm not an expert in this area.

Is there a legitimate reason that incandescent light bulbs should be banned or is it just more liberal faggot shit?

No.

The best argument for it is that they are inefficient, but given other, more energy expensive excesses, this is a rather poor argument to make.

I've broken my desk lamp's bulb twice so I am biased against them personally (it's a pretty shitty desk lamp, but I can move it around and I'm cheap)
tldr they are higher wattage

Ok thats great. But you don't just go to school just to learn. You go to school to get a degree so you can get a job and not be neet.

Yes people generalizing people is always right and works in every case. The more nonexistent the scientific prove is the righter it is.

Why do men like skinny women?
Men generally find the BMI about 17-20 the most attractive which is the typical BMI for girls about 13. What's going on?

Why doesn't gravity have recoil?
Like:
>lift weight heavier than myself
>drop it
>get flung into the air
?
Explain this one.

It does. The Earth is pulled towards the object with the same force that the object is pulled towards the Earth. This force just has a negligible effect.

I once added an infinite number of integers together and got -1/12. Clearly it's just science.

What are some *interesting* pop-sci / pop-math videos on youtube? Something laymen, as well as math/sci students could enjoy.
Please dont post pre-school shit like numberphile or khan academy. (also no wildburger)
Here's the kind of stuff I mean: (3 interesting lectures by some string theorist / math prof)

I rotted my brain and now I can't bear to look at simple grade 8-9 equations. Everything is so hazy, I know the answers from doing them decade+ ago but I forgot all the processes.
This is disgusting. Why did I forget everything? Now I have to go back and literally do Arithmetic and go up because I forgot basic fundamentals.

Why do you care? Are you at all educated or relevant in cutting edge physics? No? Then why do you need an opinion on it? Fuck off.

I'm asking because i don't want to be misinformed.

You are necessarily going to be misinformed because you don't have the foundation to actually evaluate what someone tells you about string theory. You are literally just asking for someone to give you an opinion you can copy.

Moving on from the high school algebra and precalc and taking Calc 1 next semester. I love math, and I have all of this summer to read something that can help me prepare for it & other future math courses in college (not sure if I want to go into maths or engineering), along with just further expanding my math understanding. Where should I start? A book on proofs? Some algebra problem book for fun?Help please

things that will be useful
1. getting a handle on all kinds of proof (induction, contradiction, contrapositive, ...)
2. linear algebra (this is seriously one of the best things you can master in math)
3. not useful for calc but just read about what a 'group' is, there's probably no more fundamental mathematical object
>>
>>8110386
So would you advise reading up on a proof and linear algebra book? What about Book of Proof (Hammack)?

Hello people,
Right now we have a thunderstorm here.
In 2016, do i need to unplug devices from the sockets during a thunderstorm?
I live in a small, modern, first-world-country city in a normal residential home.
Are there failsafes in the electricity grid?
Can the house itself take a direct hit?
The sockets here are not fused, afaik the only fusing is in the house's powerbox.
I have been on a farm when lightning had struck overnight, next morning all we needed to do was push the big ceramic fuses back into the powerbox and everything worked, it was unclear where the lightning has hit.
I'm not an expert on physics and electricity, but i passed my highschool exam a few years ago.
I'd say i'm safe, but i'd be guessing, so i thought i could better ask.

Even in modern buildings electronics can get fried from a nearby strike.
A proper surge protector *should* fix this.

Is the night sky nothing but a hologram? They say you dont get stars in picture of space when taken from outerspace because the sun is to bright or not enough exposure. But thats bullshit. With no atmosphere to reflect the suns light, nothing but direct sunlight at the camera would even have an effect.
We can go outside on any given clear night and get pictures of stars with a shitty smart phone but they cant point a camera in to blackness and get some stars? Im calling bullshit.
What are they covering up?
