A quality answer and even some better added mystery. Nice! Well done. So, why do physicists fight about that? Is it actually unsettled science?

Are there any other mysterious things in physics you can share?

My favorite thing I’ve been learning about lately (as a layman) is the double slit experiment, quantum mechanics, how particles behave differently when observed. I’ve been reading people say that one possible answer is the many worlds theory, and I haven’t heard other respected theories yet. Any thoughts?

So, it is my understanding that Duadopa is supposed to be less likely to induce tardive dyskinesia than oral ingestion of Levadopa. Is this because it's pumped directly to the GI system? How would it have a positive effect on the lungs & heart that way? And is there a reason that tryptophan isn't used in the treatment of Parkinson's?

Big step up from basically anywhere else in the solar system other than earth though. And Iirc oxygen is buoyant enough in this atmosphere that you can live inside oxygen balloons which solves some logistic problems of building the cloud city.

Overall venus is a serious contender for off world colonisation when we get to that point along with mars and moon

Yes, there is a formula to calculate the proportion of water at different temperatures needed to obtain a desired temperature. The formula is known as the "weighted average temperature formula" and it can be expressed as:

(T1w1 + T2w2) / (w1 + w2) = T3

where T1 and T2 are the temperatures of the two water samples, w1 and w2 are their respective weights or amounts, and T3 is the desired temperature.

Using this formula, you can solve for the unknown weight or amount of each water sample needed to obtain the desired temperature.

This formula can also be applied to other fluids as long as their specific heat capacity and density are known.
