  • Looking for a movie about nazi rise to power?

    I remember seeing this trailer around 5 years ago or so, about nazi rise to power. It was an upcoming movie, it showed nazis marching, Hitler, etc.

    I don't remember too much, but I can say it was not portrayed as a depressing or deep movie in the trailer. It had much more energetic feel to it, at least in the trailer.

    Anyone remember this? I can't remember what it's called.

  • Help me remember this old cartoon?

    It is cartoon about a mermaid princess under the sea.

    The main antagonist was the sorcerer called Goalil, or something like that. Goalil was turned into a tree and could not move, but he could turn into a shadow and posses people. After being defeated he would always return back into his tree body. He lives with a old witch that has a small submarine, and a small crab thing that was more or less just a comic relief.

    The witch can create living weapons, if I recall correctly, these weapons are just a creature with attachment on it's hand from which it fires laser or flames or bombs.

    Comic relief crab thing was more benign and on few occasions even helped the main characters.

    At the end of one of the seasons, the main characters gathered together and started chanting something about winning by power of friendship which turned Goalil tree form into a stone. And the witch was in her submarine watching that, said something like "goodbye Goalil" and flew off.

    Also, there is some sort of kingdom where the main character mermaid lives. It is also underwater.

    I remember as if animation style was a mix between 2d and 3d.

    Can anyone help me find this cartoon?

  • How do people make money from shares or stocks?

    My understanding is that you pay plenty of money now and get money from company profits later every month or maybe every year. Is that how it works?

    Also, how much money is that? Say you buy 1000$ worth of stocks, how much money can you expect to get monthly (or yearly) from that investment if company stock prices don't change?

  • How do trees transport oxygen?

    I know that we have blood which contains hemoglobin to which oxygen binds. But trees and other plants don't have hemoglobin. So how do they do it?

  • How do we know protons and neutrons are both composed of 3 quarks?

    Since protons and neutrons are way too small to be observed directly, and quarks have never been isolated as free particles, what experimental data did we use to learn that protons and neutrons are composed of 3 quarks (and not some other arbitrary number)?

  • How do we know the charge of quarks?

    I understand that quarks were never isolated from nucleus, which means we never could test their charge by using electric fields or magnetic fields.

    So how do we know electrical charge of quarks?

  • What happens to civilians when their country is occupied?

    There has been many military conflicts throughout history, so I was wondering is there some commonly accepted rule for what happens to civilians of occupied country.

    Do they become citizens of occupying nation, or are they considered like refugees? Or have less rights or something inbetween?

    Also, is there a difference between civilians in occupied territory and civilians when their entire nation is capitulated?

  • How do we know shape of atomic orbitals?

    I know there are drawings and illustrations of atomic orbitals, but are they directly observed or merely a mathematical approximation based on what we know?

  • Are commercial laser pointers real lasers or just focused beams of light?

    I understand that for something to be considered a laser, it must have coherent and monochromatic light.

    So with that in mind, are commercial laser pointers true lasers or are they just small light emitting diodes with lens that makes them look like lasers?

  • When x-rays or gamma rays are absorbed, is number of photons reduced or do photons loose part of their energy (and get higher in wavelength)?

    So, to give example let's assume we have a block of lead exactly the half value thickness. And let's say there is 100 x-rays going towards that block. My question is, after passing through the block, is beam of 100 x-ray photons going to be reduced to 50 x-ray photons of same wavelength, or is number of photons going to remain relatively unaffected, but their collective energy half of the starting energy?

  • How do we know the structure of the virus?

    How do we measure shape of viruses when viruses are significantly smaller than wavelength of light?

    So since we can't use optical microscopes to see how virus looks like, what instrument do we use to see them?

  • Electrolysis voltage vs efficiency?

    What is the relation between voltage applied over electrolysis cell and it's efficiency?

    I know that more voltage = more current, but at what point is it no longer desirable to increase voltage?

    Or is there equation of efficiency vs voltage in electrolytic cell?

  • How public and private keys work?

    I understand the basics. Public key can be used to encrypt data, but only private key can be used to decrypt it.

    How is this possible? How can message be encrypted using public key and not be decrypted using that same key? And how can a private key be used to decrypt message that was not encrypted using different key?

    People often use many analogies, but I am interested in how this mathematically even makes sense.

    People say mathematics of this encryption system is too complex, but please try not to oversimplify too much. I will try to understand.

  • What is neutron initiator?

    In nuclear weapons design, specifically implosion type, at the center of the bomb, there is something called neutron initiator.

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thu...

    It is, as I understand, a type of material that releases lots of neutrons on demand to kickstart chain reaction.

    Is that right? And if so, how do these materials work and what is the mechanism behind their functionality?

  • What liquid has lowest vapor pressure?

    All temperatures are allowed. And it doesn't matter if it's elemental liquid (like mercury or bromine) or compound (like water, benzene, ethanol).

    Only criteria is that it must be liquid and have low vapor pressure.

    So, what liquid has lowest vapor pressure?
