Some Russian (Stravinsky?) composed a work to the Latin psalms but because he did not know Latin the whole thing is said to be completely aurally undecipherable because he got the word stresses totally wrong.

Prokofiev making fun of Stravinsky with Alexander Nevsky?

Stress is generally problematic. Breathing exercises can help.

Breathing in general is an advisable activity.

Breathing in general is an advisable activity.

I have problems with this. For example, if I bend over I lose my breath. If I walk at a normal pace (which I can't really do anyway) I lose my breath; even walking slowly I lose my breath. In fact, altogether I just get breathless. I have had x-rays and nothing shows up so I think it is just tied into my tachycardia. I also suspect I don't get enough blood (oxygen) to the brain.

How do space-travelling aquatic lifeforms deal with the problem?

The problem is the same as with air, you'd need a waterlock and water filled spacesuits, although the pressure differential would be greater, therefore more sturdy materials and construction techniques would have to be used.*

*not a bad thing at all considering that micrometeoroids can obliterate our fragile ships.

Actually, in zero gravity a liquid filled spacecraft would need less strong walls since water is in essence incompressible.

What would be needed is an expansion reservoir to cope with temperature changes.

Btw, something for the 'Easy Questions?' section: How do the contents of a container behave in zero gravity that is mostly filled with water but has maybe 10-15% air? If it is the other way around the liquid forms globules floating in the air but with 90% liquid that would not be possible. Does the liquid stick to the walls of the container or does the air form spherical bubbles? A few big ones or many very small?

Point your nose at the heavens and do a mighty big sneeze. What's the maximum distance it would travel?

Lasat _{that probably ought to be in Easy Questions too} Post

[Swatopluk]

Inside the atmosphere a 40° angle would be the optimum (absent that it would be 45°).

Last _{it would also depend on the consistency of the sneezed material} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Absent of gravity it could go really far.

But where can you find an open zero gravity environment with air?
