I have a very long tube full of solid, indestructible, incompressible balls. If I put another in, due to the speed of sound not being instant, it'll be a few moments before another ball pops out the other side. I put in a ball and close both ends of the tube simultaneously. What happens?

Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll sing to myself. Many other mammals seem to like human music and possess the right organs to make musical sounds. Why is it that almost no other animals seem to sing or hum even basic melodies when bored?

When people are curious or unsure, they end their statements on a higher pitch. When they’re talking about something sad, low pitch. My cats meow with the same pitch shift when confused (high) or sad (low). Is this universal? Why?

Let’s say I could command my cells to burn all their ATP (turning it into ADP) at the same time. Would I explode? How big would the blast be? Would I have a high fever?

[WP] In the novel "Brave New World," we see a society in which a person's class is determined before they are born. Do you think this is a stable society or does this practice lead to collapse? Please limit your response to 500 words.
