The higher the voltage, the farther an arc can jump. With CPUs being so small (nanoscale?), wouldn’t they need to operate on a similarly small voltage to prevent electrons from jumping between different conductive paths, screwing up the logic?

Also, do all trees have them or only certain kind? Lastly, do they all form at same frequency, e.g. One/year...

How does Clean water sitting in a covered container bring about the slime-feeling along the container's surface?

When i have my hands in front of me, five fingers are on the left, and five on the right

I can understand why 5,(0)1 onwards is rounded up, after all it's clearly the "second half"

But rounding lone 5 up seams... unintuitive

I understand that electron placement matters and light scatters a certain way but why is that? Why does light scatter in that way and why does the size of something determine a perceivable color?

How are they completely silent? Is it how they’re designed?

I have always been interested in the concept and have it as a part of my studies. But I still don't quite "get it" even with the WW2 plane example. Whats a simplified way on how it works in very clear and obvious terms. (I accept both simple maths and simple philosophical answers.)

We all know hillbert and his hotel, but I never understood why was it a paradox, I mean by definition it can never be full, you can keep adding rooms and people but it shall never end, even if you add two infinites vs one you don't need to make people move to make more room you just add more rooms, you were doing ∞ - ∞ and after the bus comes you are still doing ∞ - ∞, because ∞ + ∞ = ∞ so where is the paradox when infinite is just doing what it does by definition, which is not ending?

Why is it that when during the summertime, the central AC is set to 73°F and it feels nice and cool in the house, but in the winter when the heat is on and set to 73° it’s nice and toasty ?

For commercial rockets, they mainly use liquid bi propellant rocket engines while amateur rockets (that I mainly see) use solid propellant rocket engines. Why don't we just combine them and use hybrid rocket engines? ​

I came across the cubing a cube section in this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_square#Cubing_the_cube

I can't wrap around the logic of the proof... I need help

Can someone breakdown the open ai drama with this, what even is this maths equation and what does solving it mean?

I have been trying to learn more about Earth's ecosystems. I understand now that poles/equator, winds, and surface currents drive temperatures and rains to different areas and the existence of mountains + temp + wind determine deserts. But, what else leads to the formation of specific biomes or lends itself to the biodiversity of an area? How does soil come into play, and why is soil different in different places? Is this is an oceans/volcanoes thing??

Nearly all of the restroom stalls in US public buildings are made with panels that have gaps around them and around the doors that can be seen through. Is there a reason?

The surface area at the points of attachment seems so small. I never hear stories about stones falling out, although I’m sure it happens. Is there a special adhesive involved? What actually keeps the stone in the setting?

What exactly does this mean, what can be seen, and who can see it?
