Why is there a limit to how much compression can be counterbalanced by electron degeneracy pressure?
 
  A) At extreme compression, the electron speeds approach the speed of light and therefore cannot increase further.
  B) At extreme compression, electrons are forced to stop moving, and once stopped there is nothing more they can do.
  C) At extreme compression, atoms are fully ionized, so electrons go free and can no longer exert pressure.
  D) The exclusion principle excludes electrons from exerting more pressure than the uncertainty principle would otherwise allow.
  E) Electrons are very small and are simply incapable of exerting much pressure.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.
