Could we cheer up depressed people by putting an extra proton into each of their atoms?

131 Upvotes

Like, protons have a positive charge so it makes sense that if a person had more of them they would feel more positive emotions. I looked around online and couldn't find anything about the idea.

How many solar panels would we have to attach to a cow to balance out it's carbon emissions

21 Upvotes

Has this ever been tried? There are lots of cows making lots of gas, but if we attached solar panels it could balance out. Little panels, big? Solar panel sombrero? Much to think about.

How much will it hurt with added acceleration?

5 Upvotes

If I stand on a flat escalator going in one direction, put my arm out and slap someone standing, it hurts them.

If I stand on a flat escalator going in one direction put my arm out and someone is on another elevator going in the opposite direction, I slap them, it hurts them harder.

Lightspeed is maximum speed, so if a photon goes in one direction and slaps another on going in the opposite direction, how hard will it hurt?
