May 4, 2010 - Awesome Answers

There are tons of questions on The Last Word - the more difficult part of this community is finding great answers. To make finding great answers to unusual questions a bit easier, I've compiled a list of posts to check out.

Feel free to add your two cents, comment and interact. New Scientist is made for the intellectually inquisitive - for people who ask why. So, in this highlight post, all of our questions start with the ever important question - why?

Why do you have that song stuck in your head? Mesugo provides a great answer here: https://www.last-word.com/index.php?action=content_handling/show_tree&tree_id=2823

 Why do some people sneeze when they go into bright sunlight? Kerouac provides some insight into the ACHOO syndrome (yes, it really is called that) here: https://www.last-word.com/content_handling/show_tree/tree_id/2077.html

 Why do we feel infrared light as heat? Do we feel heat from light of other frequencies? New Scientist Last Word regular contributer Jon Richfield and PeteFowler356 speak out here: https://www.last-word.com/content_handling/show_tree/tree_id/2829.html
