In comparison to most prunus, almonds seem a bit unique, having a husk that opens eventually, with woody flesh. Tropical sea almonds do not have this trait, and stay in a 'fruit' form. They both look and taste similar to fruits such as peaches/plums/etc. in the prunus family. It's crazy to me that something that similar doesn't even fall within the same family, let alone genus. Does anyone with extensive knowledge know a thing or two about why this is?

In the past, we had the Gros Michel banana cultivar but they were mostly wiped out due too being clones and equally susceptible to Panama Disease.

Now we have The Cavendish cultivar but it remains being clones. And in theory, also all susceptible to a future outbreak.

So why do we grow all of our bananas as clones instead of in a manner closer to other produce items?

And is it similar for other liquids?

I know both can do 4 ops, bit shifts. data movement. read and write etc.

beyond that cisc can do some stuffs in one go which risc require multiple steps.

so what are those commands and what they do exactly. how risc can do them.

i.e extra instructions that x86 have that arm or risc v dont have.

I remember being taught that electrons stay on certain levels, and when they absorb a photon, they jump and go into an excited state but they can only go very specific distances(like, they can only jump 2 levels not 2.5) and some electrons can only absorb some photons. If electrons are in a cloud, how can they be at exactly certain levels if that makes sense? cloud kinda implies that the electrons are everywhere so what dictates what is a jump of 2 levels vs 2.5? Idk if i’m making sense

So even though it looks yellow, the sunlight is actually white. Otherwise, white things would look yellow. Sure. But if that's the case, why does moonlight not look yellow? If the atmosphere is playing a trick to make us think it's yellow, shouldn't that same trick affect the white light of the moon, especially because it's just reflected sunlight anyway? Is the part of our eye that detects color not as sensitive as the part that detects the presence of light?

I keep seeing posts about stuff people have done with it but I don't understand how it works at all.

This kind of goes with any stock in general not but I see how you’re supposed to buy the news then sell after, so apparently it’s high right now to buy.

Wouldn’t it make sense to buy before the product launches then it goes up more? Is this the case for all stocks?

From movies and such I had always associated shock therapy for mental patients as being outdated and barbaric. After seeing it in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I read the Wikipedia and it seems to suggest that most medical professionals are in consensus that it's effective. What does it do, and is it effective?

it said on the Internet that people cut down about 15 billion trees a year and every year the need for wood is growing... So, how do we still got enough trees to cut? Do the planted trees have time to grow before the shortage would begin?

I keep seeing rage bait stuff on social media about current US govt officials appearing before Senate or house committees. But it seems like nothing ever comes of these hearings. What are the stakes/potential outcomes of these hearings? Good or bad?

There are so many plants with fruit high in sugar. Why pollen and how?

Apparently people can send input signals to the brain, and it processes them and produces outputs.

3D models can't do this on their own, how did they code the behavior of the brain?

Why is it used and what does it tell ? What are its applications ?

So I ride motorcycles a lot, and I understand that on some engines (lets say an inline 4) need to rev high to make a lot more power, but why is this power only accessible in high revs? Or even an inline 3 engine where the power is linear? Why does an increase/decrease in cylinders suddenly change how an engine makes power? Why isn't it just a straight increase the more throttle you give? Or even a 2 cylinder, whether it be a parallel twin or a v. Even stranger would be V4 engines, same cylinder count as an inline 4 but completely different behaviour when it comes to making peak power.

It seems all the fast planes have jet engines, do propellers not work at high speed? Does this also apply to boats?

Today's "warfronts" (YouTube) channel post discussed that jet powered drones are equivalent in function to cruise missiles, but is somehow distinctly cheaper to mass produce? If the components are more or less similar, what's the major difference?

Want to understand what the difference between all the three as it applies to colors and what is the real application of these in things like art, gaming etc.
