What is Parsec and Parallax?

Image
 Let's find out how to measure the distance from Earth to any star. >>>>>>>>>  Parsec Parallax  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< But first you shall know how to measure angles. 1. Read this: 90°11`41`` This is 90 degrees, 11 arcminutes, and 41 arcseconds 2. Is this correct? Why? 51°20`90``  No. Arcseconds and arcminutes cannot be greater than 60! 90`` -> 1`30`` 51°20`90`` -> 51°21`30`` Arc minutes and arc seconds are just like minutes and seconds on the clock!

Learn Fundamentally

 Fundamental knowledge means that you've learned a subject in a classical way, in the right order, with no gaps. For example , if you learn fundamentally about organic chemistry, you 1. learn the topics in the classical sequence:  alkanes, alkenes, alkynes; and then add functional groups: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, ethers, esters, amines, amides, proteins, and sugars. 2. understand the main concepts: nucleophile, electrophile, dative bond, Lewis structure, VSEPR Valence shell electron pair repulsion, etc. With fundamental knowledge you have a good foundation to build on, and you can understand specialists, have a common language with the scientists. Here are a few of excellent channels to explore and build Your knowledge fundamentally on each topic: 1 - Organic chemistry - 30 videos sequence, free Organic Chemistry Exam 1 Review - YouTube 2 - General Chemistry - all the elements in the periodic table by groups: Periodic Table Part 2: Alkali Metals (Li, Na, ...

Is HF the Strongest Acid?

Image
 HF or hydrofluoric acid is not strong, but it can corrode glass. In water HF dissociates into H+ and F- ions. H+ is very small and sneaky, and can react very quickly. That's what makes acids so violent. Video 1 - Sulfuric acid vs a stainless steel spoon https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HoX0IHIP3HssHC_en9avXJLZn0bePv9R/view?usp=drive_link ___________________________________________________________________ Acid are quickly reacting chemicals, however they are not that quick as shown on some fake videos. The spoon here is made of gallium, which is a more reactive metal Video 2 - Strong acid vs highly reactive gallium spoon/ fake spoon https://drive.google.com/file/d/18vBR-auexfU5KyoMXQ7s7xlUKi2BS4lN/view?usp=drive_link ____________________________________________________________________________ HF has the pKa of approximately 3. It is not that strong. But it is very toxic, so do not touch it anyways! However, the other part, the F- , is very agressive, and it can destroy glass! On t...

Clam Anatomy - Do Shellfish Have Brain? πŸšπŸ§ πŸ”¬

Image
 Shellfish includes clams, mussels, scallops, etc. They all have no brain, but their nervous system is decentralized and is located in many organs. These neurons in each organ are called ganglia. Even though shellfish has no brain, thy have other organs, like stomach heart intestine nephron/ kidneys Let's see a video of a dissection of a dead clam. Dissection is when someone opens a dead organism and cuts it into separate organs. Let's look what's inside a shell! It is not just a uniform mess. There are separate organs with their functions. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UwvKPVV27Ta5-oU_MG-F6oZDognanOVt?usp=drive_link
