How am I supposed to imagine an atom?
For chemistry class we are studying elements, atoms, and what not. They have diagrams in the textbooks of 3-d models and then they have the Bohr model which is a flat 2-d depiction. But how am I supposed to imagine them in my head, what does an atom sound like, and so forth?

Can someone tell me what it feels physically through the ages: 20s, 30s, and 40s. etc.

5 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoDoes life need to have a purpose?
Us Humans are just a branch of primates that could build using resources around us, and communicate more effectively. If the planets in this universe are similar (and they are), then there is probably other advanced animals just like us then that means we are anything but special. Also the human body works just like a machine: matter goes in, energy is created, then released and then absorbed back again. Life is just too simple and predictable, and if you think there is a reason to life it's just a personal opinion, and not a clear fact. Call me a Nihilist and all, but what I'm saying does make sense.
11 AnswersPhilosophy9 years agoWhy do newspapers and magazines still have horoscopes?
Astrology of course is nothing but primitive superstition that can be disproved by modern science and rational thought. So my question is why aren't rational people speaking up against this false pseudo-magical belief.
And for you people who cling to this ancient hogwash I advise you to see an experiment in a video by the great scientist Carl Sagan that disproves it under in just 10 MINUTES.
5 AnswersOther - Science9 years agoIs it true that all Non-Africans have 1-4% Neanderthal genes in them?
I've heard that it's a false theory, and I've heard it's been proven true. 23 and me even has a Neanderthal blood percentage on your DNA analysis. So for the record can someone who is an expert on human evolution or hominids give me a full explanation on this.

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoWhat type of clothes look good on skinny people?
I'm 166cm 115-120 lbs. All I have to wear is baggy t-shirts and they don't look good on me because they're too baggy and make me look more thinner. And my pants almost never seem to stay on my skinny waist. If you could tell me what kind of clothes I should get that would look good on very thin men as myself I would most appreciate it.
