Evidence of physical empath
I have been looking for a reference for studies to find evidence of a physical empath, meaning a person who experiences physical pain that those around him or her are experiencing. I can find a plethora of web pages claiming empathy is real. I'm not looking for silly web pages. I'm trying to find scientific studies. So far, I only found ones about emotional empathy, not physical empathy. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 18:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Here's something:
 * Unsure, however, if that satisfies your perception of "evidence of a physical empath". The neuroscience of empathy shows that observing others in pain can activate similar neural networks involved in experiencing pain firsthand.

 * Thanks. I can get "I Feel Your Pain" from another local branch. That should work well. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 11:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Why does the northern hemisphere have two subtropical jets?
There are normally two subtropical jet streams in the winter northern hemisphere (e.g Fig12), one over Africa-Asia-North Pacific and the other over North America-North Atlantic. Why is that so? Maybe the cold Sahara/Canary Current and California Current yield the gaps? JoJo Eumerus mobile (main talk) 18:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Where do you see two subtropical jets? One of them is subtropical jet and the second is polar jet. Ruslik_ Zero 19:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Africa-Asia-North Pacific and the other over North America-North Atlantic They are not connected, and they both start in the subtropics. I am talking about east-west gaps, not north-south gaps. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
