Answer to Question 1

Quasar absorption lines show the presence of massive clouds of neutral hydrogen between us and the quasar. The hydrogen absorption line is generally wider for higher redshifts, indicating that the most distant clouds are more massive than the older, closer clouds, which have, presumably, converted some of their gas to stars. The absorption lines of heavier elements are stronger, however, at lower redshift, suggesting that the older, closer galaxies have enriched their interstellar medium more than the more distant, younger objects.

Answer to Question 2

A

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

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.
