Response: Could you please explain the theory of relativity in a way that is appropriate for middle school children?

Response: Sure, the theory of relativity developed by Albert Einstein in the early 1900s describes how space and time are intimately connected and are different for observers in different motion states. For example, time moves slower for a moving clock than a stationary one. These effects are observable in the macroscopic world, and also in the microscopic world where the theory of relativity formulates that the speed of light is always exactly constant, regardless of an observer's motion relative to the source of light. As a result of these aspects of the theory, the theory of relativity radically changed our understanding of the universe, overturning over basic concepts of Newtonian physics, the laws of movement and gravitation that were undisputed for over two centuries.

Response: This is helpful background but doesn't discuss the theory itself. Can you explain the Theory of Relativity in terms of the speed of light, time dilation, time and gravity, and light and gravity?

Response: The main findings of the theory of relativity are numerous. Some of the key effects are:  -The speed of light is constant regardless of an observer's motion relative to the source of light, meaning that special relativity establishes the universal speed limit of the universe in the form of the speed of light. - The passage of time for different observers in the universe tick at their own unique pace; observers that are rapidly moving relative to each other will experience time differently. For example an observer moving relative to another will appear to be moving slower, experience an expanded length of time in their lifespan, and left out of sequence with other events. This effect is called time dilation. -The effects of gravity on space and time, and the effects of space and time on gravity, are both fundamental properties, and follow from the relationship of light and space-time. This connection leads to the principle of equivalence of gravitation to acceleration in special relativity, along with the General Theory of Relativity. In the latter case, the theory of relativity describes the gravity field of a massive body as a warping or curvature in the space-time fabric. In this way, the effects of gravity on space and time can be explained as a geometric effect of a curvature in their interconnection.

Response: What is the difference between 'special relativity' and 'general relativity'?

Response: Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity are two fundamentally distinct yet interlinked ideas.  Special relativity is a set of theories in physics through which Einstein's innovations describe the effects of motion on time and space; distinguishing between an observer's frame of reference where experimentation is performed and all reference frames in motion relative to that absolute point of rest. Special relativity is based on the principle that the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless of motion relative to the light source, combined with the relationship of space and time in that spacetime is the framework in which all physical phenomena occur. Special relativity contains time dilation, an effect in which the passage of time is experienced faster or slower and the length of objects lengthened or shortened via varying velocity of the observer relative to the observed object.  By contrast, general relativity is the theory of gravitation: a set of theories in physics relating to the force of gravity, and the curvature of space and time surrounding massive objects. General relativity describes gravitation as a geometric effect of a curvature in the spacetime fabric produced by massive objects; along with the geometry of space-time there is an inherent relationship between gravity and the structure of space and time. In particular, the gravitational effect we experience as "gravity" is described by general relativity as a geometrical property of the space-time.

Response: How does this theory challenge Newtonian physics?

Response: The theory of relativity dramatically challenges and overturns the traditional Newtonian physics that held classical views of space and time.  From the simple fact that an object's mass and energy becomes greatly interrelated on extremely small scales, to the new found relationship between gravity and the shape of space and time, the theory of relativity reframes our fundamental understanding of the universe.  From a more philosophical standpoint, the theory of relativity radically challenges the classical concept of absolute time and space, which was a precept in Newtonian physics. The theory of relativity bases itself in a direct challenge to the notion of eliminating the observer, by revealing that time and space differ for all observers relative to one another on the universe scale, and that the flow of time is a deeply personal experience relative to the observer and is not a fundamental feature of the universe itself.  These insights fundamentally reshaped scientific theories of the past two centuries in a wide range of fields, laying new foundations to our understanding of the universe and the role of conscious experience within it.

Response: It is hard to just single out a few inventions from this time period.

Response: Indeed it is, and the improvements and discoveries of the 19th century are truly numerous and profound in their impact.  Many historians regard this period as a “technological explosion” due to the rapid pace of advancement in a number of different technological areas.  This era represented a marked shift from the largely agrarian society of the previous centuries to an industrial society, driven by technological breakthroughs.  As you point out, I would also emphasize that many of these developments were interconnected and interdependent, often creating new possibilities which in turn created the need for further developments and advancements.  For instance, the expansion of railroads greatly stimulated demand for the new steel technologies which underpinned their construction.

Response: Can you train cats to do anything? I've tried with mine for a while but have not had any luck.

Response: Can you train cats to do anything? I've tried with mine for a while but have not had any luck.

Response: Cats are notorious for being highly intelligent and independent animals, which means that it can be very challenging to successfully train them.  In fact, most experts recommend against attempting to train a pet cat, and instead develop a mutually respectful and enjoyable relationship based on companionship and affection.  That said, there are a number of basic training methods that can be quite effective for training cats in certain contexts, such as litter box training and house training.  Some also report that basic training can help to improve the overall relationship with the cat, by establishing a sense of trust and cooperation.  The key for these approaches is to consistently and patiently reward desired behaviors while avoiding negative reinforcement or punishment, in order to encourage desired behaviors while discouraging unwanted ones.  It is also important to remember that cats have their own unique preferences and quirks, so these approaches may or may not be successful for particular cats.  In general, there are a number of helpful training resources available for cat owners wishing to explore cat training further, which can provide additional useful guidance and suggestions.

Response: What kind of flour is suitable for making pancakes?

Response: What kind of flour is suitable for making pancakes?

Response: Hmmm that is a good question!  Basically any kind of flour will work for making pancakes, however certain flours will produce better results than others.  Here are some suggestions:  * White flour (all-purpose flour) - Highly versatile and works well for various types of baking.  However, white flour does not have as strong a flavor as other types of flour and many people find white flour pancakes to be rather bland. * Whole wheat flour - Makes a denser and more hearty pancake.  Whole wheat flour has a stronger, earthier flavor and also contains heart healthy benefits from the fibre and antioxidants in the wheat germ. * Specialty flours (almond, spelt, rye, oats, etc) - These specialty flours can be fun to experiment with since they have distinct and unique flavor profiles.  However these specialty flours can be tricky to work with as they often have different properties than wheat flour (depending on the type of flour).  Specialty flours also tend to be more expensive than regular wheat flour. * Gluten free flours - Gluten free flours are used by people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.  They


Response: What social or group behaviors do you think are unique to religious communities, and not present in secular ones?

Response: What social or group behaviors do you think are unique to religious communities, and not present in secular ones?

Response: Among other unique social and group behaviors, religious communities frequently emphasize values of compassion, selflessness, forgiveness, and communal support. Religious communities also often encourage a strong sense of relatedness and identity among people belonging to the same faith, and this strengthens community ties and sense of belonging. Secular groups may also value compassion, altruism, forgiveness, and community support, but generally without the emphasis on shared religious identity and beliefs as central to group membership and identity.

Response: Could our galaxy be swallowed up in another galaxy?

Response: Could our galaxy be swallowed up in another galaxy?

Response: Our galaxy is already associated with numerous others in a vast “Local Group” of approximately 30 galaxies. However, while collisions or mergers between galaxies are not impossible, it is extremely unlikely that our galaxy will be swallowed by another one. The distances between galaxies in our galaxy group are generally quite large, and have been shown by observations to be slowly moving away from one another. In most cases, two galaxies passing close enough to one another so that they can interact -- for example collide -- would run together too quickly for the galaxies to be drawn together into a larger galaxy before the galaxies accelerated and moved away from each other.   The exception to this is if one galaxy passes extremely close to another and “steals” mass from that galaxy, as can happen during “galactic encounters” or “violent mergers” between galaxies. However, these situations are still quite rare and happen far less often than new galaxies being formed from “primordial” gas or due to colliding galaxies. So, while historically our galaxy has been part of numerous groupings of multiple galaxies, there is no immediate reason to think it will be swallowed up by another galaxy in the relatively near future.

Response: I hope you’re not too worried about that! I’m sorry if the previous answer was not clear: although a galaxy passing through another galaxy can have a dramatic impact, I assure you that it is extremely unlikely that our galaxy will be swallowed up by another’s in the near future. While galaxies collide and merge on rare occasions, our galaxy does not have a close pass scheduled with any other one during the next several billion years. Moreover, there are rare instances where two galaxies can surge towards one another and merge after just passing by each other, but even these instances can happen relatively rapidly, so that the galaxies will remain gravitationally bound to one another for only a few million years before they begin to move apart due to the galaxies’ own gravity. The odds of our galaxy colliding with another, merging with another, or being pulled together into one other, are extremely low.  In the example that you mentioned in your question, you’re probably referring to a recent observation of a collision between two “ tidal interaction ” of galaxies.

Response: If our galaxy merged with another one, what would happen to us?

Response: While the Earth would certainly be altered by the gravitational effects of a galactic merger, we would not (at least not immediately) be subject to the full brunt of a galactic collision. On a cosmic scale, even disturbances on a galactic scale feel quite gentle, and over the relatively short timescales and enormous distances involved, there is very little chance that someone on the Earth would actually be greatly affected by this. The results of the exact nature of mergers can also vary, but in some cases these disturbances can be extremely dramatic. For humans, this could result in cosmic radiation, fluctuations in solar activity, cosmic rays and short-term temperature changes. However, I can assure you that human civilization would not be wiped out by this sort of thing.  I’m not worried, are you?

Response: Yes, I am extremely confident that our Earth is not on an immediate collision course with another galaxy, and that the effects of this would certainly not be catastrophic for humankind. The Earth has passing close to other galaxies in its history, and its structure has remained stable. As far as our solar system is concerned, a galaxy passing extremely close to ours would be almost imperceptible, and would not cause us any great disruption. I’m not worried, are you?


Response: Can I drive with a state ID, or do I need a driver's license?

Response: Can I drive with a state ID, or do I need a driver's license?

Response: State-issued driver's licenses are required for driving in every state of the U.S. If you hold a valid state ID, most states will allow you to use it as additional information, but there are some differences in the rules between states. It's generally best to contact your DMV in your state to find out more information about getting a driver's license.

Response: Do you think I could fool a police officer with a State ID, or are State IDs different from driver's licenses in a ways that a police officer would know?

Response: Police officers will generally be familiar with driver's licenses, but many states issue State IDs that are designed to look similar to driver's licenses. These IDs may have a larger range of information compared to just a name, but they are not valid for driving in most states. It's important to avoid trying to use a state issued ID when you need to drive -- you may be missing information required for a valid ID, and you could be charged with a DUI for driving without a valid license.

Response: I think State IDs specifically mention they are not driver's licenses on the cards, so someone will know if they look at the ID carefully.

Response: In a close-up digital scan or photo, it will be obvious that a State ID looks different from a regular driver's license. State IDs generally have less information than a driver's license, so you should never try to use a State ID when using a log book or attempting to modify commercial driving documents.

Response: Can you briefly describe the difference between a dog and a wolf?

Response: Can you briefly describe the difference between a dog and a wolf?

Response: Dogs and wolves are closely related species, and are descended from a common ancestor.  Wolves are larger and more predatory than dogs, and live in smaller packs with a strict hierarchical social structure.  Dogs on the other hand tend to be much smaller and more sociable, often living in larger groups with a more flexible social structure.  Over millennia of co-evolution with humans, dogs have developed a much closer relationship with humans, including the capacity to communicate and cooperate with humans in very sophisticated ways.  There are also many varieties of dogs which have been selectively bred for various specialized purposes, including hunting, herding, guarding, and companionship.  In comparison, wolves remain fairly elusive and mysterious to humans, and tend to be perceived as more adversarial and aloof.

Response: Can you tell me what the HIV virus is and how it causes Aids?

Response: Can you tell me what the HIV virus is and how it causes Aids?

Response: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects human immune cells and damages or destroys their capacity to fight infections and diseases.  HIV is transmitted primarily through intimate sexual contact or sharing of contaminated blood and blood products, but can also be transmitted through casual contact with contaminated body fluids, such as through sexual contact, blood transfusions, injection drug use, and vertical transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding.  TsetLevels of the HIV virus determine the clinical progression of HIV infection, which is divided into three stages: acute infection, chronic infection, and full-blown AIDS. Acute infection is characterized by a brief period of flu-like symptoms, and in most cases a temporary immunity from future infection.  Chronic infection progresses over a

Response: Thanks. Can you give me details on the stages of hiv infection?

Response: HIV infection is categorized into three stages: acute infection, chronic infection, and full-blown AIDS. Acute infection is characterized by a brief period of flu-like symptoms, and in most cases a temporary immunity from future infection.  Chronic infection progresses over a period of years, during which time the virus impacts and steadily weakens the immune system, and the infected person becomes increasingly vulnerable to other infections and complications, which can include severe pneumonia, bacterial infections, hepatitis, skin conditions, neurological conditions, and progressive loss of immune function.  Full-blown AIDS is diagnosed when the CD4+ T-cell count falls below 200 cells/μl  or when clinical criteria defining AIDS are met, and is typically characterized by severe

Response: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects human immune cells and damages or destroys their capacity to fight infections and diseases.  HIV is transmitted primarily through intimate sexual contact or sharing of contaminated blood and blood products, but can also be transmitted through casual contact with contaminated body fluids, such as through sexual contact, blood transfusions, injection drug use, and vertical transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding.  TsetLevels of the HIV virus determine the clinical progression of HIV infection, which is divided into three stages: acute infection, chronic infection, and full-blown AIDS. Acute infection is characterized by a brief period of flu-like symptoms, and in most cases a temporary immunity from future infection.  Chronic infection progresses over a

Response: Thanks. Can you give me details on the stages of hiv infection?

Response: HIV infection is categorized into three stages: acute infection, chronic infection, and full-blown AIDS. Acute infection is characterized by a brief period of flu-like symptoms, and in most cases a temporary immunity from future infection.  Chronic infection progresses over a period of years, during which time the virus impacts and steadily weakens the immune system, and the infected person becomes increasingly vulnerable to other infections and complications, which can include severe pneumonia, bacterial infections, hepatitis, skin conditions, neurological conditions, and progressive loss of immune function.  Full-blown AIDS is diagnosed when the CD4+ T-cell count falls below 200 cells/μl  or when clinical criteria defining AIDS are met, and is typically characterized by severe

Response: Thanks. Can you explain what the chronic infection stage is?

Response: Chronic HIV infection develops slowly over a long period of time, and progresses as the CD4+ T-cell count steadily declines.  During this period, individuals may experience a variety of difficulties and complications from the ongoing damage to the immune system, including severe pneumonia, skin conditions, neurological conditions, and progressive loss of immune function.  Eventually, when the CD4+ T-cell count falls below a critical level and clinical criteria defining AIDS are met, full-blown AIDS is diagnosed.  This advanced stage of HIV infection is typically characterized by severe immune deficiency, extremely low CD4+ T-cell counts, widespread opportunistic infections, and an increased risk of cancer and


Response: The news has been dominated recently about the opioid crisis in America. How are so many people dying from these pills when they are from a doctor's prescription? Its not like they're illegal street drugs.

Response: The news has been dominated recently about the opioid crisis in America. How are so many people dying from these pills when they are from a doctor's prescription? Its not like they're illegal street drugs.

Response: Ah yes, the opioid crisis has been in the headlines for many years now, and has resulted in skyrocketing death rates among US citizens.  There are a variety of factors contributing to the problem, but fundamentally the issue is that opioids (such as prescription painkillers like oxycontin and fentanyl) are highly addictive drugs which can cause severe physical and mental dependence when used over a long period of time.  As a result many users become hopelessly addicted and seek out more and more potent opioids in order to achieve the same effect, often leading them to use dangerous illegal street drugs or dangerously mix multiple opioid medications.  Also, the widespread availability and acceptance of opioids as a prescribed medication has led many people to view these drugs as safe and acceptable, which is a dangerous and misleading impression.  The US opioid crisis is an extremely complex and multifaceted issue, and I recommend some further research into the topic if you are interested to learn more.

Response: Why do doctors still prescribe them if they are so addictive?

Response: Great question!  Part of the issue is the extreme ignorance and denial of the dangers of opioid prescriptions among many doctors and patients.  While opioids are highly addictive and dangerous when used long term, they are also extremely effective at treating severe pain, so doctors are often reluctant to deny prescriptions to patients with legitimate pain complaints.  This combination of ignorance and patient demand has led to an overprescription of opioids which has fueled the current epidemic.  Further complicating the issue is the financial incentives of the pharmaceutical industry which provides these drugs.  Pharmaceutical companies aggressively market and advertise these drugs to doctors and consumers, and have facilitated a situation where opioid prescriptions permeate our society, contributing to skyrocketing rates of addiction and overdose.  We still have a long way to go in terms of educating doctors, patients, and the public more broadly about the dangers of long term opioid use, but hopefully in the coming years more preventative measures can be taken to reduce the tragic toll of this opioid crisis.

Response: Are you saying that doctors actually get paid by opioid companies to prescribe them? That sounds like it should be illegal.

Response: Yes this is a very controversial and unfortunate aspect of the current opioid crisis, which has led to accusations of "drug dealing" and abuse of the trusted role of doctors in our society.  There is a lot of truth to these accusations, as many doctors have been shown to be biased in favor of opioid prescriptions due to extensive financial incentives and marketing provided by pharmaceutical companies which produce these drugs.  Pharmaceutical lobbyists have spent billions of dollars promoting opioids as a safe and necessary medication for a wide range of health conditions, leading to overprescribing by doctors and overconsumption by patients.  Indeed, opioid prescriptions have now reached epidemic levels in the US, with over 115 million prescriptions written in 2015 alone.  Much of this overprescribing is strongly linked to financial incentives for doctors from opioid manufacturers, and we must take immediate steps to eliminate these perverse financial ties if we are going to successfully combat the opioid epidemic.
