This will be a story.

Upon a recent interaction with a friend, and some fringe-online researching, I've begun to think I'm a sociopath. My friends seemed to find it weird that I "think about" everything I say. Nearly every moment that I speak, I am mentally concieving of the words I am using and their impact on the target, and I'm not simply just "saying what I feel." I also found out that most people arn't constantly decoding other people's motivations like I do. For as long as I can remember, the words I use when I speak with people typically probe the person's psyche; I am usually asking a question or choosing a few words that would illicit a response that will give me knowledge I want about that person. I always look people dead in their eyes while conversing.

I went on a trip for 3 months a few years back, which was the longest time I've ever been separated from my family and friends. I did not miss them. I actually remember thinking to myself, "because you do not miss them, you need to be consciously aware of that fact; you must act homesick when you come back, and you must try to remember that most people don't think it's okay to genuinely not miss your loved ones after 3 months." I do not cheat or steal, and I lie sparringly -- but only because going straight and honest is the only way to 100% avoid backfire.

Is substituting my pitiful emotional spectrum for my ability to emulate them intellectually a bad thing, even if I am trying to do it for the right reason?

I typically like underrated animes that are ripe with depression or intelligent themes. I'll name a few of my favorites here and why I like theme;

Ergo Proxy (my favorite anime of all time, depressing and philosophical to the nth degree)

Steins;Gate (depressing, very thought provoking, and probably the wittiest sense of humor)

Texhnolyze (both philosophical and depressing)

Serial Experiments Lain (extremely psychological and very different from a lot of anime)

Feel free to share your favorites, and I would appreciate any recommendations.

Is it theoretically possible for two bodies of mass in space to be at the right distance so that the gravity between them "cancels" and produces a sort of zero g effect between the surfaces of the objects as they face one-another?

Lets just use visible light for the sake of simplicity. Does light traveling as a wave mean that light travels as a sort of "cloud" of probability, where the color of the light is determined by where the probability of finding the photon is the most dense? For example, maybe red light appears red because it has a more even distribution of probable places where the photon could be as opposed to violet, where the probability of finding the photon might be more densely restricted?

Or is there even such a thing as only one photon of color? Could you have one photon of red or one photon of violet? Or is light like sound, in that light travels as a sort of strobing "burst" of densely packed particles followed by a moment of inactivity and then quickly followed by another burst of densely packed particles? In this respect, determining color is dependent on how closely together these bursts are, meaning that you probably could not have just one photon.

No rude answers, please. An explanation without witty sarcasm would be nice change of pace for once.

If you have a container of water and another container of murcery both at the exact same temperature and volume, wouldn't you expect the murcery to transfer more heat energy to an object placed in it because murcery atoms are more dense than water molecules and thus have more energy than water molecules?

Or does taking a measurement of temperature already include this inertial force?

If you fired a muon at a nitrogen atom with the goal of knocking out one of the paired electrons so that there are now 4 unpaired electrons, would this induce tetravalence in nitrogen?

Or would the muon, because of its density, sink to a lower orbit and "push" one of the non-valence electrons into the valence shell, thus restoring nitrogens original valence shell configuration?

Does on object that is thrown directly up spend the same time ascending as it does descending when it finally starts to fall? Factoring out wind resistance and things like that.

If not, is there some type of formula that expresses the ascent to descent time based on the velocity of the ball as it is thrown upwards?

Here are my system specs:

What would I need to replace?

I want to know what things I can do in order to improve my cognitive abilities. For example, what foods are the best, sleeping habits, best types of exercises, etc. Just anything that will help improve my ability to think.

I heard that holding your breath can help improve your IQ; is this true?

Combustion yields CO2 and water. But in exhaust fumes you see things like sulfur and ammonia compounds, not to mention hydrogen peroxide and other harmful poisons. I don't understand why this is. If I had to guess I'd say maybe some unwanted reactions inevitably occur with gasses in the atmosphere simultaneously with combustion products. Or is it that gasoline isn't exclusively composed of hydrocarbons/carbohydrates?

Please, someone explain why these poisons are found in exhaust fumes.

The reason I chose Jupiter in particular for my question is arbitrary.

Jupiter is around 318 times more massive than Earth, but the acceleration of gravity on Jupiter isn't even remotely close to 318 times greater than Earth's. Earth = 9.8m/s^2 and Jupiter's was around like 25m/s^2 I think. These two numbers appear to have no relationship to Jupiter being 318 times more massive than Earth. Why is that?

When the sun (or any star) undergoes fusion, it fuses four hydrogen atoms into a helium atom. In this process, two of the protons are converted into neutrons. To me, this implies that the pressure during this fusion is greater than the repulsion forces of the four protons in the hydrogen atoms, making it so that something has to "give" and the positive charges are forced out of two of the protons, thus becoming neutrons. What is the particle that is forced out of the proton? Is it a positron (anti-electron) or a neutrino?

Neutrinos have no charge and positrons would just annihilate the surrounding matter, so neither seems right to me (and thus maybe it is neither of these two options).

I know that neutrinos can collide with Chlorine and make it turn into argon. It seems that the neutrino somehow converts the neutron of the chlorine atom into a proton, raising its atomic number to that of argon's. Please explain this to me as well? It seems odd that a particle of no charge can somehow convert a neutron into having a charge. I could very well be completely wrong about all of these phenomena and I would greatly appreciate any explanations, as in-depth as you can get please.

Angular momentum is a phenomena that confuses me greatly. I know that if you take a 1 degree angle and then measure the length of the legs at 1 million miles away, the space between the two angle legs is significantly higher at 1 million miles than the space between them at only 1 mile away. Lets assume this angle measure is taken from the center of a rotating sphere. Lets assume the mass stays the same so we can rule it out as a non-confounding factor, and you were to cut off or subtract 999,999 miles of distance from each leg, thereby lowering the diameter, you are down to each leg being 1 mile in length. The speed at which the sphere rotates appears to increase dramatically.

My question: Is the speed of rotation at the 1 mile length angle leg always the same, despite having 999,999 miles of length added to it? What I am asking is, if you took only the measurement of the angle's rotation speed at 1 mile angle leg length, does this stay the same always despite extra length being present or not present?

Sorry if you think it is worded strangely. 1 mile angle leg length will always be observed to have the same rotational speed even if diameter (but not mass) is added?

Thanks.

Especially since the leading theories of psychology explain what you're feeling, and brain scans can look into your brain and see that increased dopamine/serotonin is causing these delusions?

Additionally, why haven't any psychics been able to prove themselves in a study?

Also, what does it take to supercool something into a supersolid?

If at all, what temperature does nitrogen become a liquid?

When in reality it dissociates into H3O+ and OH-? Is it just to make it easier to realize a hydrogen+ is present, or is it just a common misconception?

Is it at least theoretically possible to deconstruct elements using various types of radiation and then reconstruct them with nuclear fusion?

Are there any other methods that this could theoretically be accomplished?
