00004cfc61da4ee5364f | The molecules in liquids have space between them. The molecules of sugar and water in solution are much more concentrated than the molecules of water alone. When sugar dissolves in water, the sugar molecules take up space between the water molecules. The mass of the total solution equals the mass of its components, so ... | |
000074e0648bed890428 | Not quite. Protons and electrons aren't just combined, they're squeezed together because of the immense gravitational forces associated with the mass of a neutron star. Remember, a neutron star has a mass much larger than our sun, but the volume would only take up the size of a small city. The temperature and forces in... | |

No matter how fast you spin it, light will pass through the wheel quickly enough tha... | |
0002b3272d35dd3fb2e7 | There was a wild cow called an auroch that, amazingly, didn't go extinct until 1627. It's easier to imagine if you think of them like buffalo, and then remember what we did to the buffalo here in America. They're actually in the same family (bovinae) as bison, water buffalo, and yaks. They looked kindof like modern cow... | |

0004f049ae310e7d1cde | In general you are right, you might be looking at confounding variables. To make the conclusion go through you generally have to assume that there is no correlation between x (number of units produced) and the hidden variables. This might not be the case, but it's not an all-or-nothing thing either (the correlation can... | |

0009088716d55ce4c293 | When you see something (e.g. a tree, a car, a tornado), you're actually seeing two images at the same time, one from your left eye and one from your right eye. Your brain interprets these images and comes up with a perception of the world with depth. A stereogram exploits this idea by showing your right eye one image ... | |
000930b28cbd0f43739a | NH3 has four pairs of electrons attached to the nitrogen atom: three of them are shared with hydrogens, and form the NH bonds. The fourth is not. These four pairs of electrons repel each other, and that pushes them into a pyramid configuration. [Illustration](_URL_0_) | |

000acbf825f344fe1706 | Gravitons (if they exist) only interact through gravity, and don't couple at all to the other forces. The force of gravity between two protons is about 10^36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force between them, so a quick estimate suggests that gravitons would be 10^36 times less likely to be produced than photons... | |
000acd19f82f5381daf2 | Neutron stars form when the energy available from gravitational collapse is greater than the energy needed to overcome electron degeneracy pressure by forming neutrons from protons and electrons.

0012644701378ed75078 | Salt mist as in sea mist is literally tiny drops of sea water splashing into the air, so it contains everything from the sea, including the salts. Water vapour is evaporated, the water boils into a gas and then condenses onto a cooler surface or in the cooler air, so it is chemically pure h2o. | |
0012665dace6933b0926 | The crystal bits inside of snowflakes are very pointy and small, and there are a lot of them. All of these jagged edges make light bounce off in different ways and what we see is white. Regular ice is smooth and doesn’t have a lot of rough edges so the light goes through instead. | |
00127b968c7549dc6ab1 | * Ease of preparation - most school districts have many schools, and coordinating daily deliveries of multiple fresh ingredients to all of them is tough. They focus their energy on classroom activities. * Cost. * Inertia - it's a bunch of work to change something like that, and that means someone has to stop what they ... | |
0012a472a496d533cd12 | Cancer is believed to be a [stochastic](_URL_0_) effect. This means that the probability of getting a disease is proportional to your exposure to cigarette smoke. So a light smoker would have a lower chance of getting cancer but not a zero chance, ie there is no safe amount of tobacco smoke that won't give you cancer. ... | |
0012b56c0cc246c81927 | It doesn't. v^2 is a quadratic term, not exponential. Kinetic energy and momentum are simply distinct concepts, I'm not sure if there is a satisfying answer to "why aren't they the same?" You can derive K=1/2mv^2 from a few simple principles, but I'm not sure if that will be enlightening either. | |
0013653fd4aa59f5e14f | I'm sure you'll find a lot of answers to that question by rummaging through the FAQs about pre-Columbina America ([see: FAQ, Americas Before Columbus and Native American History](_URL_11_)). About sources, we've got a wide diversity of sources ranging from oral tradition and written records ([Aztec codices, for instanc... |
ELI5 — Training, unified schema
A normalised copy of the dataset behind the mteb task ELI5, a retrieval training set built from sentence-transformers/eli5. Same queries, documents
and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by every dataset
in this collection.
| Source | sentence-transformers/eli5 @ 6e3b20a7a427 (the revision pinned in mteb) |
| Domain · languages | long-form QA (Reddit) · eng |
| Queries / documents / qrels | 323,136 / 325,293 / 325,473 |
| Qrels per query | min 1 · mean 1.007 · max 110 |
| Score values | 1 ×325,473 |
| Layout | queries · corpus · qrels · hard-negatives · teacher-scores, split train |
| Splits | corpus: train · hard-negatives: train · qrels: train · queries: train · teacher-scores: train |
| Hard negatives | none yet — config present with 0 rows |
| Teacher scores | none yet — config present with 0 rows |
| Reading empty configs | datasets cannot return a 0-example split (load_dataset raises "corresponds to no data"); until rows exist, read the Parquet directly with pyarrow/polars/pandas. The schema is declared in the file and in configs: above |
| Ids | sha1(text)[:20]; identical texts collapse to one document (182 collapsed) |
| Pair recovery | 325,473 of 325,473 source pairs reconstructed from queries × qrels × corpus with byte-equal text |
| License | unspecified |
Schema
| config | columns | rules |
|---|---|---|
queries |
id: string, text: string |
ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel |
corpus |
id: string, title: string, text: string |
title is always present ("" when the source has none) |
qrels |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, score: int32 |
referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats |
hard-negatives |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, rank: int32, source: string |
one row per mined negative; (query-id, corpus-id, source) unique; never a labelled positive of the same query |
teacher-scores |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, teacher: string, score: float32 |
one row per scored pair (positives included); a row means scored — never a placeholder |
Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator
before publishing; provenance.json records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.
What changed from the source
- byte-preserved all text — no whitespace, newline, or control-character normalisation
