analogue and digital signals, what's the difference?
user
Analog signals are continuous signals that can take any value within a range, representing information such as sound or temperature with smooth variations. Digital signals, on the other hand, are discrete signals that can only take specific, predefined values, typically represented as binary digits (0s and 1s). Analog signals are used in systems like AM/FM radio, while digital signals are used in computers and digital communication systems.

放在杯子中的冰块融化后，为什么水面不会上升？
user
当冰块在水中融化时，水面不会上升，这是因为在冰块形成时，冰已经排开了与其质量相等的水体积。冰块漂浮在水面上，根据阿基米德原理，冰块排开的水的体积等于冰块的质量除以水的密度。当冰块融化成水后，这部分水的体积正好等于冰块原本排开的水体积。因此，水面高度保持不变。

time zone and daylight saving time, what's the difference?
user
A time zone is a region of the Earth that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Each time zone is generally based on the local solar time at a specific longitude, typically spaced 15 degrees apart, resulting in 24 time zones around the world.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a system where clocks are set forward by one hour during the warmer months to extend daylight hours in the evening. This is typically done to reduce energy consumption and make better use of daylight. DST is not observed consistently worldwide; some countries and regions opt out of it.
