Stupid science questions
A couple of conversations recently had me reflecting that many of us feel our scientific education (often through no fault of our own) to be somewhat lacking. This thread is for questions about science and technology that you'd normally be too shy to air in case laughing geeks kick iron filings in your face. No matter how basic you think your query is, bung it here.
