Hello Mikaylerr,

These are all interesting questions, but none of them is stated in the form of a hypothesis, and many of them would be difficult to test experimentally. Your challenge is to do background research and come up with a hypothesis, or educated guess in answer to a question, and then test that hypothesis experimentally. Some of the questions you posted may be answerable just by doing some background research, and perhaps in so doing you will find a question you can answer experimentally. Let me know how I or others can be of further assistance.

Cheers,
Colin
