Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What are harmonics and how are harmonics formed?
« on: 15/07/2017 04:17:44 »But why do things vibrate at these harmonic frequencies?It's a resonance thing ...
Deviation from a perfect sine wave creates additional frequencies other than that of the fundamental-frequency driving the system.
Any additional frequencies which don't have nodes which coincide with those of the fundamental-frequency, will quickly be damped-out of existence.
So only harmonics, (i.e integer-multiples of the fundamental-frequency), persist.

« on: 06/07/2017 00:35:35 »Light of any frequency can become polarized by reflection or scattering and polarized sunglasses can block these polarized rays ...Polarizing filters are not one-size-fits all, e.g. polarizers made for visible light, (like sunglasses), would not function as polarizers for wavelengths which are much shorter or longer.
If you cross optical polarizers at 90o some blue light gets through : if optical polarizers worked equally well at all wavelengths the background of this cross-polarized image should be black, rather than blue-grey ...

Just Chat! / Re: ‘inhumane treatment’ of pain patients
« on: 30/06/2017 15:36:12 »... why put opiate users on a pain contract requiring urine screening?
Patients are never placed on pain contracts when taking meds like Xanax and you can die from a Xanax overdoes.
opiate-cocaine combo is a specific synergistic thing which opiate-users have been known to indulge in.

« on: 30/06/2017 13:24:29 »What I want to know is what the danger is of being on opiates when using cocaine ...
Opiate-users add cocaine to combat its sedative effects : more euphoria, less unconsciousness.
The cocaine allows higher doses of opiate to be taken without losing consciousness, but it wears-off quicker than the opiate, then the user is particularly vulnerable to respiratory arrest via the opiate.
[ I read Carrie Fisher, whose cause of death was sleep-apnea, was positive for cocaine & heroin & more ].

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Do pinworms worsen around the time of the full moon?
« on: 27/05/2017 00:59:46 »Quote from: Vincent
...A friend of mine just told me today that her kids regularly have pinworms and that she especially has to treat them before every full moon, because the infection gets much worse at these times.
That sounds like mythical moon-worms, which are actually shreds of bowel-lining, caused by enemas of so-called MMS.
So if the enema "treatment" , (which is actually the cause of the "worms"), is applied on a lunar cycle, the appearance of the "worms" will also be synchronized to the moon.
