How has Hitler's "Mein Kampf" been used by historians? How has it been misused by others? | I'm going to give one, fairly well known to historians, example. A.J.P. Taylor famously did not read Mein Kampf, and discounted both its importance for understanding Hitler and any correlation between what Hitler wrote and his later actions.
I should note that this is an example of misuse by non-use. Taylor, t... | [
"In \"Mein Kampf\" (1924-25), which was written while he was in prison after his failed 1923 putsch, Hitler combined elements of autobiography with an exposition of his racist political ideology . The personal reflections contained within \"Mein Kampf\" are nevertheless inaccurate and unreliable. In the work, Hitle... |
Does conservation of momentum violate the conservation of energy? | No. Energy and momentum are always conserved, but remember that momentum is a vector quantity with a direction, thus in your example the total momentum of both objects must remain zero (10-10=0) but that the individual momenta of each object need not be zero.
It is then important to determine whether your collision oc... | [
"Conservation of momentum is a mathematical consequence of the homogeneity (shift symmetry) of space (position in space is the canonical conjugate quantity to momentum). That is, conservation of momentum is a consequence of the fact that the laws of physics do not depend on position; this is a special case of Noeth... |
Astrobiologists of Reddit, What would life in a gas giant probably look like? |
> Could life evolve in a gas giant and would it have to live on the core or could it live in the clouds?
Could life evolve? This is an unknown. We only have one instance of life to compare it to. There is speculation that it could.

"The planet is a gas giant that is about in diameter. Like most gas giants, it has a solid core that consists of metal followed by layers of metallic gases. Many of the layers of gas are poisonous, and the pressure and temperature are far above what a human could tolerate. But from approximately down from outer spa... |
how does the alpha magnetic spectrometer detect dark matter? | This is probably not going to be put in terms simple enough for strictly adhering to this sub-reddit's mantra (explained as if you were five years old). Oh well, I tried. :|

"The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, also designated AMS-02, is a particle physics experiment module that is mounted on the International Space Station (ISS). The module is a detector that measures antimatter in cosmic rays, this information is needed to understand the formation of the Universe and search for evidence... |
Is carbonated water still acidic after it has gone flat? | 'Flat' carbonated water is just water that is no longer supersaturated with carbon dioxide. It would still contain some residual CO2, depending on temperature, and would therefore still be very slightly acidic (ph 6 or so).
I'm not sure what you mean by still water. If you are talking about distilled water, it would pr... | [
"The acid gives carbonated water a slightly tart flavor. The pH level between 3 and 4 is approximately in between apple juice and orange juice in acidity, but much less acidic than the acid in the stomach. A normal, healthy human body maintains pH equilibrium via acid–base homeostasis and will not be materially adv... |
christianity | This is a good question, and this will be a long answer! I'll try to hit on all the major points, and if you have any more questions I can try to answer them later. Keep in mind, there are a lot of different Christians with a lot of different ideas, so other people might give different answers on some of these topics.

How was "detective" work, or any crime-solving endeavor, carried out in the ancient world? | Quoting myself from a previous answer to a similar question:
It depends on what you mean by police.
In Ancient Greece, city-states had publicly owned slaves who acted as a police force. They kept order and controlled prisoners, but they didn't investigate crimes. Most crimes were considered a private matter so the ci... | [
"Criminal investigation is an ancient science that may have roots as far back as c. 1700 BCE in the writings of the Code of Hammurabi. In the code it is suggested that both the accuser and the accused had the right to present evidence they collected. In the modern era criminal investigations are most often done by ... |

i bought magic the gathering and i seriously cannot figure out how to play it. youtube video after video isn't helping. | Take a look at the sidebar over at /r/magictcg - it has lots of great resources for new players.
I also think that the best way to learn the game currently is to download the Magic Duels app on your phone/steam and play that. It introduces the rules to you slowly. | [

why can we feel sound waves, but not light waves? | You can feel light waves. Go stand outside on a bright day. It's a lot hotter in the sun than the shade, no? You just feel light in a different way than sound (usually, you feel infrared light the most, which feels like heat). | [
"Sound is one of the most important senses that the blind or visually impaired use in order to locate objects in their surroundings. A form of echolocation is used, similarly to that of a bat. Echolocation from a person's perspective is when the person uses sound waves generated from speech or other forms of noise ... |
In ancient Rome, what would happen if I needed my appendix out? | First, it would be important to look at the diet in Rome (understanding that Rome's history lasted a millennium and while many things changed, including medical practices, diet would have remained relatively unchanged). Grain and cereal was a large part of the diet and as a consequence so was fiber. Appendicitis is cau... | [
"Appendicitis usually requires the removal of the inflamed appendix, in an appendectomy either by laparotomy or laparoscopy. Untreated, the appendix may rupture, leading to peritonitis, followed by shock, and, if still untreated, death.\n",
"Extirpation of the appendix, or appendectomy, is the standard treatment ... |
From our vantage point, is there anywhere in the univers that galaxies are still forming? | When we look really far away we do see galaxies forming. | [
"In 1734, philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg in his \"Principia\" speculated that there may be galaxies outside our own that are formed into galactic clusters that are minuscule parts of the universe which extends far beyond what we can see. These views \"are remarkably close to the present-day views of the cosmos.\"\n... |
how do small bands/record labels afford to send bands overseas to play live music? | Many american bands can, and do make FAR more money playing overseas than the do in the US, in fact, thats where they really make their money, in Asia and Europe. They play a ton of shows, and the clubs and festivals are willing to pay them much more than american counterparts. You might be surprised how certain bands ... | [

Why did Ned Kelly's armour work against firearms, but medieval steel plate didn't? | The response to crossbows appears to have been to make better armour. When powerful crossbows were common, the best armour was crossbow-proofed (i.e., successfully tested against crossbows).
The response to firearms was first, do nothing, since crossbow-proof armour stopped (i.e., had a good chance of stopping) bullet... | [
"Modern tests and contemporary accounts agree therefore that well-made plate armour could protect against longbows. However, this did not necessarily make the longbow ineffective; thousands of longbowmen were deployed in the English victory at Agincourt against plate armoured French knights in 1415. Clifford Rogers... |
what's so bad about germany's economy? | Germany has a stronger export economy than most of the rest of Europe. This is perceived by some people as keeping the exchange rate of the Euro higher against international currencies than it should be; a lower cost Euro is seen as beneficial to countries like Spain and Greece which are heavily reliant on tourism to f... | [
"Sinn has called the German economy a \"bazaar economy\" because the share of input from abroad in German industrial production is on the increase. At the same time he points out that this is not to be equated with a breaking off of value added in exports. Instead Germany has decimated its domestic sector via exces... |
Why isn't Rubidium yielded from U-235 Fission? | The atomic numbers of the fission fragments don't necessarily have to add up to the Z of the original nucleus. When fission occurs, the uranium nucleus splits into two heavy fission fragments, and some number of light particles, which could be protons, neutrons, alpha particles, or whatever.
So the Z of the two fragm... | [
"Uranium-235 fissions with low-energy thermal neutrons because the binding energy resulting from the absorption of a neutron is greater than the critical energy required for fission; therefore uranium-235 is a fissile material. By contrast, the binding energy released by uranium-238 absorbing a thermal neutron is l... |
Why doesn't fly spray kill humans? | Honestly it is a case of dose:body mass ratio. The weight of flies varies a lot based on side, type etc, but 10-20mg is common.

How young did Venetians typically join the navy? Was there a difference between merchant and wartime fleets? | I am not sure what you mean by "Republican period" but I can give an answer for 15th around the "peak" of Venetian naval strength.
First to briefly describe the Venetian 'navy'. It consisted of state owned galleys (few if any sail ships were such state-owned) of usually two types: the merchant 'great' galleys and war ... | [
"The Venetian navy had traditionally been a galley-based force. The first organized tactical formations of sailing ships—originally merchant vessels chartered for naval service—began being formed in the late 15th century.

what's the fuss with purified water? | They're the same thing. Water is water. Some brands add (or, more often, don't bother to filter out) minerals that are good to you, but can often have a "dirty" taste. | [
"Purified water has many uses, largely in the production of medications, in science and engineering laboratories and industries, and is produced in a range of purities. It can be produced on site for immediate use or purchased in containers. Purified water in colloquial English can also refer to water which has bee... |
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 s... | [
"An additional debate is to what extent environmental laws are fair to all regulated parties.

How did indigenous cultures, European colonists, or pre-electricity South Americans understand the power of the Electric Eel? Did they understand it as the same phenomenon as lightning, or something else? | /u/robinthebum wrote about it at _URL_0_
This is not to discourage more discussion. I'd love to see more data, debate, and questions.

"Long before any knowledge of electricity existed, people were aware of shocks from electric fish. Ancient Egyptian texts dating from 2750 BCE referred to these fish as the \"Thunderer of the Nile\", and described them as the \"protectors\" of all other fish. Electric fish were again reported millennia later by anc... |
Does heat radiation from metal radiate in all directions? | Such a complicated problem! _URL_0_ A simple quick answer for you is that since your pan is made up of two different materials, the thermal conductivity and amount of energy held by those materials is different and will be radiated off/exchanged at different rates and total amounts.
The heat capacity of aluminum is **... | [
"When thermal radiation strikes an object, part will be reflected, part transmitted, and the rest absorbed. The fraction that is absorbed depends on the nature and color of the material. A thin material may transmit a lot. A light colored object may reflect much of the incident radiation and thus escape damage, lik... |
why are feminists opposed to the thin, scantily clad, large chested female characters in video games, but not the 6' feet tall male models with six pack abs on the covers of romance novels? | Feminists focus on *female* rights. They rarely touch on male perceptions. | [
"Men in games tend to be shown as muscular and big. For instance, men in video games have chests that are about 2 inches (6%) larger, heads that are about 13 inches bigger, waists that are 5 inches wider, and hips that are 7 inches wider, than in reality. They are often characterized as overtly aggressive and viole... |
Where did the Whites and Reds find the manpower and willing soldiers to engage in the Russian Civil War after the losses in World War I? | Good question. There are a couple of factors to take into account. The first thing is that much of the Russian Civil War was fought by fairly small forces. [According to PBS,](_URL_1_) Russia mobilized 12,000,000 soldiers during the First World War, lost 1,700,000 killed, 2,500,000 captured or MIA, and 4,950,000 wou... | [
"The Whites and the Reds fought the Russian Civil War from November 1917 until 1921, and isolated battles continued in the Far East until 1923.

How does buoyancy work on a molecular level? | "Kinetic theory" may be the term you're looking for, if that helps you in future googling.
So, "pressure" is just the molecules smacking against each other, and applying forces to each other when they collide. The other main force they're feeling is gravity.
If these forces don't cancel out, then there will be a net ... | [

how are movies like the parent trap made when one actor plays multiple roles and their faces are seen together in the same shot? | One way of doing it is to shoot the scene twice without moving the camera. The first time, they shoot the scene when the actor plays the first role, the second time the second role. These two versions of the scene are then blended over each other.
Another version uses blue-screen in which one of the takes (or both) ar... | [
"In some productions, a scene calls for two characters in the same shot, both of whom are portrayed by a single actor. A body double can portray one of the characters, while the credited actor plays the other, thus enabling both characters to appear simultaneously on camera. An example of this is the identical cous... |
Why did the Scandinavian Norsemen write runes? | Despite their seemingly mundane and formulaic inscriptions, the raising of runestones in Late Viking-Age Sweden, particularly around Uppland, was a fashionable and calculated effort by (mostly) affluent locals to display their wealth, status and allegiance. The primarily Christian iconography and inscriptions of the st... | [
"Unlike Proto-Norse, which was written with the Elder Futhark, runic Old Norse was originally written with the Younger Futhark, which only had 16 letters. Because of the limited number of runes, several runes were used for different sounds, and the distinction between long and short vowels wasn't retained in writin... |
why is white pride racist, when no other "colour" pride is considered racist? | In general, the issue here is that when people say they have "white" pride, they are saying "I am proud that I am not black." as opposed to people having pride in their specific heritage. No one has a problem with people having pride in being Irish, German, Italian, Polish. Those get celebrated.
But "white" just mean... | [
"Political and social scientists commonly argue that the idea of \"white pride\" is an attempt to provide a clean or more palatable public face for white supremacy or white separatism and that it is an appeal to a larger audience in hopes of inciting more widespread racial violence. According to Joseph T. Roy of th... |
Why has Country Music remained so white? What cultural and industry forces kept the genre that so willingly borrowed from blues, gospel, norteño, and mariachi so completely dominated by white artists and tied to white identity? | The answer to that goes back to the early days of the recording industry. You're right, country, blues, gospel and southern gospel artists all borrow relentlessly from each other, and that tradition goes back to the 1800's before the genres got clearly separated out (I can't speak to mariachi or norteno as I haven't st... | [
"The musical forms and styles that are now considered the blues as well as modern country music arose in the same regions of the southern United States during the 19th century. Recorded blues and country music can be found as far back as the 1920s, when the record industry created the marketing categories \"race mu... |
During WWII, which Red Army unit was considered "elite"? Which was its most successful, and why? | The Red Army was very vast within the Second World War. Therefore there was a few different elite units. The major ones of these we're called Guard units. When an army proved itself as a well trained fighting force, they would get a Guard title attached to their title. One of the notable we're the 2nd Guard Army which... | [
"At the start of World War II the Red Army was notorious for its poor battlefield quality because a large number of its newly appointed commanders lacked initiative and skill. Kreizer was among a few senior officers who prepared his troops adequately for the requirements of the modern mobile war. In July 1941 Kreiz... |
how do kickstarter payments work? what prevents the receiver from just running away with the money? | To my knowledge, nothing stops them. In fact there have been numerous complaints of people never getting what they order off of Kickstarter. It's very much buyer beware. | [

Each person on the scheme is given an amount of money to be managed by themselves, possibly with the aid of others such as family or an external advocacy organisation. This mone... |
why do we have to put oil in our cars, why can't we use another liquid like water? | Water boils at typical engine temperatures, isn't viscous enough to actually lubricate very well, and is highly corrosive to unprotected metal surfaces. It's about the worst common liquid you could use for this job.
The oil is there to coat and lubricate all the moving parts of the engine so they don't corrode or gri... | [

why doesn't the blood in raw meat clot (as far as i can tell)? | Because it isn't blood. It's myoglobin. Red meats, such as beef, are composed of quite a bit of water. This water, mixed with a protein called myoglobin, ends up comprising most of that red liquid. | [
"Blood is the most important byproduct of slaughtering. It consists predominantly of protein and water, and is sometimes called \"liquid meat\" because its composition is similar to that of lean meat. Blood collected hygienically can be used for human consumption, otherwise it is converted to blood meal. Special fr... |
where does weight actually go when one is losing it? how can i go to sleep weighing 202 and wake up weighing 199? | > how does it actually leave your body?
Primarily through your breath. You breath in (some) O2, and breathe out (some) CO2. The extra carbon in there comes from your body "burning" sugars, converting sugar + O2 into H2O and CO2, which you breathe/sweat/urinate out, as appropriate.
Fun fact, plants use a similar pr... | [
"While health professionals almost unanimously agree that if an individual is already getting 8 hours of sleep, then another half hour won't make them lose weight; however, in cases where a person is used to getting 5 hours of sleep per night and they start getting 7–8 hours, it is common to see them start to shed ... |
how do people get away with murder in the courtrooms, even if it was obvious that they did it? | > even if it was obvious that they did it?
Being "obvious" isn't enough. The prosecution has to **prove** that they did it, beyond a reasonable doubt. Something as wishy-washy as "it's obvious" would be a *terrible* basis for a legal system. | [
"Since the early 19th century, American courts have tried over 400 murders in which the victim's body had not been found; Bonie's case would have been the first in the Bronx. \"It's like running a 100-meter race when the criminal gets to start at the 20-meter mark,\" a former federal prosecutor told the \"Times\". ... |
When nations/people moved (e.g. Turks, Anglo-Saxons), did the entire population move or just the leaders/army? | It's a matter of much debate, and historians views have varied greatly over the years. Once, pretty much all historians thought that the migrations in fifth-century Europe were all great movements of people. Now, however, many believe that many of the barbarian groups were primarily military forces. Overall, it varied ... | [
"During the period of Military Frontier, mass migrations of the population went on all the time in both directions and in several waves. First fleeing away from Turks, then those who collaborated with the Turks were fleeing after their fall, and in the second direction people fleeing from the vengeance of those arr... |
if i'm far enough from the ground holding my glasses, the lens will cast a shadow even though they are clear. if i move up like a foot, the lens shadow becomes more and more transparent. why? | First, shadows. We *should* all know by now that this is caused by blocking light, places where no light reaches a surface are darker places where the light can reach are brighter.
So in the case of when your glasses cast a shadow it means less light is able to reach the surface. The reason why this happens even thoug... | [
"Real lenses do not focus all rays perfectly, so that even at best focus, a point is imaged as a spot rather than a point. The smallest such spot that a lens can produce is often referred to as the \"circle of least confusion\".\n",

how many time does radioactivity takes to disappear ? | Never.
Radioactivity never disappears, it simply gets weaker with time. This is due to half life. A half life is a set amount of time during which half of the radioactive material decays. After decay, it is probably harmless. After 1 half life, half of the original material remains, after 2, a fourth, after 3, an eigh... | [
"This relationship between the half-life and the decay constant shows that highly radioactive substances are quickly spent, while those that radiate weakly endure longer. Half-lives of known radionuclides vary widely, from more than 10 years, such as for the very nearly stable nuclide Bi, to 10 seconds for highly u... |
where are the colors that a human can't see? is my wall secretly another color? | The electromagnetic spectrum of light is very, very long. We call colours the wavelengths that we can see with our eye. But there is a lot more in the electromagnetic spectrum than the range between 390 and 700 nm. The wavelength is a particular feature of the wave, imagine a sinusoidal wave (a nice smooth curve that s... | [
"The spectrum does not contain all the colors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations like magenta, for example, are absent because they can only be made from a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors... |

why do we refer to animals' colors not as the color they actually are? | I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I started to have small inkling, but then, where do animals come into play? | [
"Some animals are colored purely incidentally because their blood contains pigments. For example, amphibians like the olm that live in caves may be largely colorless as color has no function in that environment, but they show some red because of the haem pigment in their red blood cells, needed to carry oxygen.

why does climate change mean that climates will become more extreme, rather than just changing? | Some areas may become less extreme. But in any place the environment and our use of it is built around a certain climate. In places that are regularly flooded, agriculture on the floodplains relies on the regular flooding to provide water and silt for nutrients. Loss of regular flooding would have a very severe effect.... | [
"Because the climate system has large thermal inertia, it can take centuries for the climate to fully adjust.
