Hi everyone. I just made a myspace account, included this forums link. I love this forum,and I am interested in physics. I'm only 17 though, so I would like a complex einstein theroum, perhaps a prerequiresite to E=MC squared? The lorentz contraction? time dilation theorum? Best of all, I...

Is love so short? ROME (Reuters) - Your heartbeat accelerates, you have butterflies in the stomach, you feel euphoric and a bit silly. It's all part of falling passionately in love -- and scientists now tell us the feeling won't last more than a year. ADVERTISEMENT The powerful emotions that...

Can love be for one person and not for another as well? I mean: can i say that i love, if that love is for one person and not for another, as well? is love, then, both love and not-love? it appears that this must be true. i shall elaborate before this opens for debate. can love be said to...

I found this picture at the swap meet today. It was in a box of a couple hundred old snapshots. Boxes like this show up there all the time. I don't know how this happens: people having no one left to pass their family photos on to. Sometimes these collections go back to the 1880's. I had to...

The angle of elevation of the Sun is decreasing at a rate of 0.25 rad/h. How fast is the shadow cast by a 400-ft-tall building increasing when the angle of elevation of the Sun is π/6? I thought about using the special triangle to find exact values for trig functions at π/6 but I don't know...

Does anybody know if internet already does one or the following : 1) give the data of your wanted love and it automatically gives you the matching level (from names, salaries, bank account, physical datas, cultural preferences or even DNA)... 2) and composes the appropriate gift idea : poem...

I just wanted to have your opinion on the following, which is the basement of transaction : I take here the financial aspect of the deal : if you are a man, and you think a woman is worth nothing, then you don't pay her when wanting/having done the physical love ?? And for the inverse way...

I know there is no some definition of it, but I just wanted to know what you think. If you were asked "What is love?", what would you say? Love is ...

Out of all the bands no longer in existence, which would you have most liked to see? A few of mine: Alice in Chains Soundgarden The Smashing Pumpkins Led Zeppelin Rage Against the Machine. I was meant to be born in '76, not '86, I'm telling you!

I had always enjoyed the thought of being a geneticist, and I only recently found out about this program that would let me double major in both biochem and genetics (http://biochemistry.tamu.edu/?ch=ugrad&sec=welcome), and I'd like to hear your opinions on it, perhaps on the courses offered as...

If you love someone, and they don't love you back, what can you do? i mean, aside from hope they change their mind. how do you just deal with it? what if you want to continue to love them? how do you stay sane?

Can somebody please give me a hint as to how to do the following proof please? I have no idea what to use or where to start :( Suppose that p is a prime and a is an integer which is not divisible by p. Prove that there exists an integer b such that ba is congruent to 1 mod p^2. Thank you. T

Somehow, I find it harder and harder to talk to people, because pure mathematics is really the only thing that interests me, and, uh, most people don't share that feeling. I find it hard to talk about other stuff... Anybody else feel the same way?

NOW TAKING WAGERS! Minimum bet is 1 "get out of ban free cards". Who's your candidate!? Who's your candidate!?

I would just like to say that... I love PhysicsForums. PF has been a home for me for many months now and I can't describe how useful it has been. I bought a subscription today to show my ongoing support for PF and those who make it not just another science forum. Cheers to PF! :-p

I love the TV show Most Extreme Elimination Challenge also known as MXC. It is horrible and has no redeeming social value, but I laugh my butt off. Anything that is voiced over in English I find funny, but this game is completely out of control. Anyone else a fan? My wife and I love to watch...

I read in another forum: I wanted to tell him the legend of the Franzbear, but this case is abit different. :-p What do you think? PS I quoted him exactly.

Having dished out lots of criticism of America over the last few years, I thought it would be nice to have a thread to acknowledge the many wonderful things America has contributed to the world. 1) Rock'n'Roll music. Thanks America!

Nissan 350z is a strong competitor http://ployer.com/archives/nissan-350z.jpg although I think the black Audi TT is nicer other cars?

I love geometry :) Hey all! This is one problem I haven't been able to solve. I've had a class on theorems relative to circles and triangles but I still can't figure this one out. 3 identical, equilateral triangles are placed as seen on the attachment. Their sides measure 28cm, and the...

everyone comes on here and complains about there girl problems, so i want to complain about my boy issues... I broke up with my fiance a while ago. Weird circumstances, its for the best, but it killed me... he'd found another girl... so i had just met this guy, and he and i became friends...

My question should really makes me feel ashamed :blushing:, but honestly it seemed to be like the perfect thing for her and me and also I admit it's so ironic she is what I had pictured her to be...But there are facts in our lives we can never change, right ? One thing I need from her is just...

love is confussion! How many people can one fall in love with? I'm 24 and have known my wife for 7 years and been married to her for 2.5 years. I love her and I do care for her. We have very different personalities and one would ask how we even ended up together. Its one of which opposites...

Score! hehe :smile:

I meet a man at a party. He is drop-dead gorgeous and I have a very pleasant time chatting with him. I am head-over-heels in love with the guy. He asks me out on a date, and, of course, I go. After a few more dates, however, I discover he is really very self-absorbed and shallow. I decide that I...

I've been talking to this girl for the past few weeks, and we've really been getting along. We even went to get drinks (tea, I'm only 17) on Wednesday at this one college. Things were going great, and I was ready to ask her to prom... (Saturday morning)--- I'm talking to her online, and...

A bit of lighter fare then usual but this seemed like the right place to put it. My roomie just sent me this following comic. I thought it was pretty good myself and thought some other astro nerds would agree! :biggrin: http://cheston.com/pbf/PBF039BCSpaceLove.jpg

That is Japanese people's thought, so how about you and your people ? Which one is important ? Why do you think it is important ? Thank you Christophe...

The new Hersheys commercial cracks me up! They are trying to redefine flowers as saying "I'm sorry", and chocolate as saying "I love you". And like the girl in the commercial says, who wants to hear "I'm sorry" for Valentines Day! :smile: Those advertising clowns kill me. They have gotten us...

"Do you feel love is real?" I was listening to the Smashing Pumpkins' songs today and one of the lyrics was "Do you feel love is real?" I was just wondering what your views on love were because I know people think of love in different ways. ...plus its Valentine's Day soon

For me, I know my mom loves me because she's always willing to talk, and because she tells me and bakes me cookies if I ask her to sometimes. My dad doesn't really say it, and I don't say it to him. But, I know he does love me just by the fact that he goes to work and works three times...

I'm working on an assignment right now, and completed it. It won't give me extra marks, but I want it for personal reasons. I have built a program that constructs a sequence, which is a pain the a$$ to do. Really hard since I just started programming, but it sure saves a lot of time...

Hey guys! I've got a new theory of everything! (TOE). Turns out Einstein was dead wrong! Relativity is all nonsense! :biggrin: My theory is based on crazy particle wave stringy things that I call "pf'ions". I derived their existence after revising the foundations of mathematics. My NEW...

With regard to our 'hot-house' system of education in the UK, I would like to see homework made optional, so that children can socialise more and be under less pressure. We are only young once and not everyone is suited to the academic scene. Much of what we learn in school is in any case soon...

If a dog is found whining and unattended on the street, someone is bound to take it in and inform the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), who will come and collect it and give it a home in the warm. Not so with our own animal species and I sometimes wonder why some...

How many times have you been in love, if ever? Please describe your perception of romantic love, or what you believe love should be.

I just started a FORTRAN 90 programming class this quarter, and we do all our work on the school's UNIX servers, and I love it. The simplicity, no dealing with all the unnecessary crap windows comes attached with. I just felt like sharing.

Any starcraft players out there? I personally love the game, but don't have much time to play with school, and am not very good at it.

As I am going through a very difficult break up right now, I find that I am frequently thinking of this concept we call love. Love is defined as "A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive...

first of all, I'm only fairly confident that I've chosen the appropriate forum for this. anyway -- loving and thinking, for me, have always been two different, distinct, indulgances. however, I've noticed that if i partake one, i ignore the other. to wit, bein' a lover is grand but...
