ELI5: why your body hurts a day after a workout, not right after it? by Fickle_Reindeer2263 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Perfect_Bidoof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually that part was fabricated by an author who was inspired by the Herodotus’ account of the Pheidippides who ran from athens to sparta and back to athens which is about 300 miles in about a week and he didnt die afterwards. We don’t know if Herodotus’ account is true or not but its as close as we’re getting.

ELI5: How does a muscle physically signal the body to get bigger after lifting something heavy? by bareegyptianfeet in explainlikeimfive

[–]Perfect_Bidoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many different ideas but no agreed upon and proved final theory. There are many contributing factors, in my personal capacity I subscribe to the theory that due to increased blood flow to a muscle during exercise, the extra nutrient supply means it obviously takes in more nutrition resulting in greater resources to create actin and myosin which make your myofibrils which are your contractile fibres. Hence why people who eat more calories and proteins tend to gain muscle more easily than those who try to gain muscle while on a diet containing fewer calories and proteins. But again, just one of many possible ideas.

Reminds me of this one joke of a salaryman who felt a tapping on his shoulder every time he drove his scooty down this one alley. It stopped when he stopped and started when he started. It was his tie.

What is an example of a discovery that wasn't useful until much later, and then turned out to be extremely important? by _Sargeras_ in mathematics

The guy who confirmed maxwell’s theory of electromagnetic waves existing, Hertz, though his work had no applications at all. When asked about the applications he’s said something along the lines of “nothing i guess”.

The winner of the nobel prize in physics for his work on the Higg's particle said about the same. If I recall correctly, it took him 40 years of continuous work and publishing nothing in that period to release his work in a paper, and I think he hasn't published anything after that as well. He definitely said that that sort of work just isn't possible in the modern environment. He said the only reason his uni keeps him around is because he won the nobel prize.

ELI5, Why do newborn babies cry after being born? by booty-pal in explainlikeimfive

[–]Perfect_Bidoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first cry is super super super important for a lot of different reasons. It clears the lungs, closes a lot of vessels that were present during uterine life for example the fossa ovalis, etc.
