I'm currently traveling in Vietnam and I met an australian girl. We ended up going to a few cities together. We spent the last week together and I developed the biggest crush on her! But alas I had to bid her farewell today as she returned home. I think if she invited me to visit I would...

Hey there, I’d like to know, is there any possible way to control love? How to get rid of this feeling and beat it to death! [[[Story is, there’s this guy who I really like, but I've never met him in person and he doesn't know about me, I only read his posts here. :biggrin: But I know it...

Supposing that parallel universes do exist does that mean that if you meet and are attracted to a woman or man in this world but don't or are unable to get together and fulfil a relationship with that person in this world for what ever reason that in some other parallel universe that the...

"I love you" How do you feel when someone tells you "I love you"? When you tell this to someone? Has it thrilled you, shocked you, or embarrassed you? Do you reserve "I love you" for your intimates, family, or just about anyone? Are you more likely to say it during sex, reunions or by...

I'm only a freshman in college so I still have plenty of time to decide but I'm sort of worried by my E&M class. I adored AP Physics in high school and I really wanted to pursue it. Now I'm taking E&M in college and it doesn't seem nearly as interesting. Could it just be because I already took...

Hello my name is Jake I am fresh out of high school and in my first semester of school. Over the past few years I have been leaning more and more tward mechanical engineering as a major however the field seems so open I can't decide what is correct for me. I guess I am just asking for a little...

OK, guys I know that this is a unusual question, but I'm looking for input from some guys and gals who are already engineers. I am a mechanical engineering student and am currently in a co-op/intern position working in aerospace. I am pretty discouraged as I find the work I am doing incredibly...

Hey PF one and all, Quick prequel, I'm a sophomore in college, physics maths double major, my arms are incredibly sore from working out right now, my parents raised me with the notion that being anything less than the absolute best was a disappointment, and I'm just getting around to learning...

Why do some people love "connecting" with animals? I was just watching a series about a man who lives among wild bears. While this is a bit extreme, I can appreciate the desire to "connect" with other species. Why? No, this is not a trick question. I just don't see any particular reason why...

Why are tickets to Canadian cities from Chicago Ohare so crazy expensive? Calgary, Ottawa, and Halifax are all about $800 RT. WTF mate! rant over

Hi Everyone, After browsing for a bit and finding this forum to have some very smart and helpful people, I have decided to post my query here. After completing my A-Levels in English, Maths and Phsyics (U.K. Education) where I got a B,A and A respectively. Thereafter I worked in odd jobs...

Hi I’m a 14 year old student and my school is having a science competition for the students in the grades above me, but i thought I would enter because I love scientific competitions. Basically the competition is a hypothetical scenario where you have a group of scientists/engineers and...

I have always love physics ever since high school but being a scholar I had to do engineering instead. Maybe due to peer pressure in the rat race, I've even got myself a master in engineering. I majored in computer system and spend my career doing electronic CAD software. I've got a good...

Recently I have been wondering this question. From an evolutionary stand point I don't see why it would be nessicary. All you would need would be a "sex drive" which from my experience is not so much of a cause for love. Love can somtimes cause more harm than good. What are you are views on this?

Hi, I have a major lack of understanding regarding this one issue. The following is consequently pretty incoherent, so I would be even more grateful to anyone who bothers to read and reply. I can derive the intensity distribution for, say a diffraction grating or single slit, in the...

Hey, Borek! How have you been man? I haven't heard from you in something like two days and was wondering how life's been treating you. Probably should have sent this as a PM, but I wanted the whole world to know just how much I love you in a completely non sexual, manly sort of way. Plus I...

I'm one of those rare people who eats to fuel my body. I'm usually done eating before everyone else has finished praying. Flavor was never a big deal to me for the most part, so I never, ever, reach for the salt and pepper shakers. I always thought of them as something to use to cover bad...

About two years ago I started to love Physics, it was inspired by many things, but mainly the book Contact by Carl Sagan. I began lurking on this website - reading posts, reading books and expressing the odd childish theory as well :smile: I then chose my A-levels. I chose Maths, Further Maths...

There are over 10 different parties in the 2008 presidential contest, yet only 2 parties are shown on television in general. Are we experiencing an undemocratic election? Especially in times of surprise and hardship, I feel that we as U.S. citizens should be given information on all the...

I started in '04 in Computer Engineering, and after going through the shock of having no studying habits whatsoever, and the pain of repeating courses that comes with it, I've finally started in my concentration classes. However, it's not what I expected. I have come to realize that what...

I know most people are in here simply for homework help or just trying to pass the class. But I think there are others who truly are interested and LOVE physics. Why? What aspect of this particular science appeals to you? I have heard physics being called "the poetry of mankind used to explain...

For those who like to achieve high, is it better to not be in love? You won't be irrational and can concentrate only on yourself and the things you want to do. The only think of course is not having a family and be alone when you're old.

Rather bored, so I was just wondering - only considered generalizations with the underling principle here, but I'm looking for specifics: have your interests in physics/mathematics altered your love life in any way? Say, have you pissed your significant other off with your obsession with...

When you are deeply in love with someone but struggle to find the right words it usually expressible in your field of interest. For example; If you sum up all my actions of love towards you will release that they will almost surely be what you expected from love. My feelings for you are so...

I love listening to stuff like Nancy Sinatra, Frank Sinatra, Lee Hazelwood, Peter Sarsted, etc. but these people were at their peak at least two generations before me and this sort of music is kinda hard to find if you don't know what youre looking for. I've been given some amazing suggestions...

Ok, I have been to these forums a lot in the past year or so and I have learned a lot and asked a lot. But recently my past year has just been a drag - it is my first year in university and I know that some or maybe even majority will say it is only first year. But I don't think it is that, I...

I Love Fireworks! With the 4th of July looming this coming week, I thought it would be timely to have our theme on fireworks. While the spectacular show in the sky certainly is the main candidate for the theme, smaller "fireworks" such as sparklers, etc. also qualify. Zz. Contest Rules...

Is there a way for a kid to blend physics and art into a career? She can't make up her mind which way to go, so I thought I would see if there are any suggestions out there that use both.

I am nieve in many ways. This is enitrely an innocent question from an innocent and curious person. Which drug (legal or illegal) gives the closest feeling/effect to a human of being in love? I guess there still recquires somoene that you desire present for the effect to occur? Or maybe only a...

Hello there I don't know what to say but I love mathematics and at the same time I don't excel at it with a history full of suffering and failurein mathematics. I do prepare for mathematics but I still find problem in understanding or precisely I slowly understand while I know few who excel...

I don't know this kid's name, but last night on American Idol I heard the most amazing version of "Imagine" I've ever heard. This little kid is only 17 years old and he almost made me cry last night.

Okay, so! My physics is lacking, but my life sciences are excellent, but that won't save me. How do I determine object's acceleration and velocity when it strikes the ground given: An object is thrown up into the air and then falls back to earth, remains in the air for 5 seconds before...

Is it better to study what you love? Or is it better top study what you will get the highest grades in? I ask as I am currently a computer engineering student and really love the material, though I love it and study plenty I still do not manage to get very good grades. I don't usually...

Hey guys, I don't know what I should do. I mean I love biology...but its just that I have tried those methods which are suppose to make memorization easier for you but it still is pretty hard(relating the word to your senses or memory). What do you guys think?

Being drawn to a stranger's voice across the room. No doubting that "this is love." Eyes longing for each other, a sharing of moist breath and iris' pulse. A real, Native magic. A rare touch eliciting truth in unconditional positive regard. Desiring to follow her naturally seductive lead...

"Tainted love"-which version is best (least bad)? Ed Cobb's classic from the 1960's has been performed by many artists, and it happens to be one of my favourite "light" pop tunes. So, I'll post the ones I've found on youtube and prefer: 1964-Gloria Jones (original) 1981-Soft Cell...

This is a clip of a "cat wheel," a feline version of a mouse wheel. I had several mice years ago, and they couldn't seem to get enough of their wheel. What is the appeal of these wheels to animals? Anyways, it's also a cute clip, and if you're a cat lover, you know you want one.
