A1 Geoffrey Widdison Beenlearning science since I was six, still getting started. Thu Water doesn’t burn, in the sense of reacting with oxygen to produce heat,because it’s already ‘burnt’. Water already contains as much oxygen as it canstably hold, it’s what you get when you burn hydrogen (or anyhydrogen-containing compound) in the air. It’s already given up all it’senergy, and is now in a pretty stable state. Why it doesn’t taste or smellis actually a little more interesting. The reason is because we’re mostly madeof water. When you smell or taste something, it means that your smell and tastereceptors respond to it and send a signal to your brain. There’s simply no reason forthose receptors to respond to something they’re exposed to all the time.(In fact, if you’re in environment with a constant smell, eventually your bodywill acclimate, and you’ll stop noticing that, too. Your tongue is constantlycovered with water, and your nasal receptors are kept constantly wet. They couldn’t work properly if they weren’t. So, if theysomehow responded to the presence of water, you’d be smelling and tasting thatall the time, and couldn’t smell or taste anything else. In a sense, the smell and tasteof water are the baseline state we experience our whole lives. So it only makes sense that our body would ignore it. Q2 If Duryodhana did notabduct Bhanumati, there is a high chance she might have garlanded Yudhishthira.What will be the changes in the Mahabharata story if this scenario possiblyoccurred? A2 Kavana N Lives inBangalore, Karnataka. Fri Did Yuddhishtra attend the Swayamvara??.I have not read that Yuddhishtraattended the Swayamvara of Bhanumati ,so he getting Garlanded was not possible. But if it still happened, very big change wouldn't have happened.Duryodhana would have married another women and Bhanumati would be in the placeof Devika (Yuddhishtra's second wife). At the most, Kalinga kingdomwould have fought from the side of Pandavas in Kurukshetra war. Q3 In India, if you ownland, how far above and below do you own? A3 Prasanna Bhalerao I havesome experience in real estate deals. June 19 In India, you can build a basement as deep as you can afford to dig andmore importantly, as per sanctioned plan. However, you do not own any natural resources ortreasures found while digging. I think only water is allowed (you can construct a standard well or abore well and use the water free of charge). Q4 If I ate mint candy andspit saliva, does my saliva cool or will nothing happen? A4 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy) Thu Mint doesn’t change thetemperature of the mouth or saliva. It just stimulates the nerve endings(trigeminal nerve, I think) in away that creates a sensation or illusion of coolness. If it were measured with a thermometer, I feel sure you would see noeffect on the true oral temperature. Q5 Do you think a 2nd AC isa good option as for traveling in India, since the first AC is not available inevery train? A5 Prasanna Bhalerao Knowsabout trains. Thu The AC 2-Tier is a perfectly good option to travel in India. It hasnearly all the facilities of AC First Class except: There are no individual cabins or coupes that can be locked from inside. There is less space inside - nearly 30% less space, if not lesser. Food served is not cooked in the pantry car but from standard mealsprovided by IRCTC and vendors. Food is not served in proper china dishes with crockery. You don’t get hot showers. Otherwise, all facilities are the same. The first point (regardinglockable cabins, privacy and safety) is probably the most important factor. It is not as if AC 2 Tier ishighly crowded or meals are inferior or showers are important(except maybe very long journeys of 18 hours or more). Q6 Why has no one invented apit-less cherry? We have seedless watermelons, why not seedless cherries? A6 Franklin Veaux ProfessionalWriterJune 6 That’s a really interesting question, and one that goes right to theheart of the way different plants grow. Seedless watermelons and seedless grapes are possible because in fruit where the body of thefruit contains many seeds, the fruit forms first, and then the seeds developwithin it. Contrary to popular misconception, things like seedless grapes aren’tgenetically modified. Instead,the developing fruit are sprayed with chemical plant hormones that disrupt seedformation. On the other hand, cherries and similar fruit belong to a differentcategory of plants that develop differently. The seed grows first, then the flesh of the fruit growsaround the seed. If the seed doesn’t form, then no fruit forms. Q7 What is the perfect thingto say when someone is being rude to you?

No such scientific reasons are defined yet. And no such observations havebeen seen commonly. Still as a part of suggestionyou should stop overthinking and take proper sleep as well. Sometimes goosebumps or sudden touch of anything to your skin even thenwhen you are in a deep thought may make you surprised, but don't worry it is nothing but suddensecretion of harmons called adrenaline which is nothing but a fear harmone 3RD ANSWER- Align To Divine , former IDon't Have a Regular job.I Works 4 the Universe.Answered Tue It is a spiritual phenomenon it is your Kundalini energy .these areenergy bubbles in moving here and there in your body.
