Have there been any theories in recent decades that suggest one? Or more? I know it may seem unnecessary or even frivolous, but theories beyond the standard model are, after all, grappling with issues like how the entire universe and its four forces came to exist. Has anyone postulated a fifth...

Thanks, Mk! iVlog just needs another 0.2% to escape elimination. That's literally something like 16 votes, at present. Voting has been extended to 6 pm Eastern. So go on and get your free copy of pzizz, guys. It will help you study. :)

Alright, I apologize. I was just really excited, especially because I thought everyone here could use a program like pzizz.

Free copy of pzizz for Mac/Win Wow, this is a really sweet deal that I think everyone here will appreciate. If you vote at http://www.mydreamapp.com in the next 48 hours or so, you'll get a free copy of pzizz. It's a $40 app for Mac and Windows that plays audio to help you sleep. It's great for...

MS will definitely offer something. Apple is unpredictable. Sometimes they wait a long time before offering their solution. Neither company has the development format of "My Dream App." They develop it out in the open, guaranteeing that the things you want in the app will be there from the...

I have one thing to say about the coolness of the Mac. [PLAIN]www.mydreamapp.com[/URL] Okay. Maybe two things. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=1090215#post1090215

The name may still need to be changed, but iVlog is my idea currently being voted on at http://www.mydreamapp.com. Don't worry, I'm not spamming the board asking for your vote. :) This is a chance for every Mac user to share what they think would be in an ideal vlogging app. If the app makes...

I already said I understood why weddings are celebrated. This makes some sense, but implicit here is that the meal is an extended one. Why people can't just have a regular meal and go on with something more fruitful is escaping me. People usually have more rewarding experiences together when...

Well, junk food and drinks don't make me comfortable and happy. They don't seem to make other people comfortable and happy either. Rather, they seem to provide them a means of ignoring their own discomfort and unhappiness. I've only ever understood it as tradition.

Oh, except for weddings, I also don't really know why people celebrate these things... :smile: Except for the actual day a baby is born, birthdays are just numbers. Aren't we beyond recognizing successful trips around the Sun as an achievement? Anniversaries aren't achievements either. When...

Nothing at all. That's not what my question is about. I just don't see the necessary attachment between "having a pleasant time together" and food and drink, especially after something good happens. People can recognize good times without providing each other opportunities to get drunk indigestion.

Then I guess it's an empathy thing. Some people can't already feel good from another person's success, so they need to feel it from other things, like food and drink?

I don't have anything against junk food and alcohol intrinsically. Just why is it there after good things happen? Aren't you already feeling good? Why do you need chemicals that make you feel good if you're already feeling good? :confused:

The reason why junk food is junk is because it already contains disproportionate quantities of things. But why do it at a celebration? Some of us like how it feels to be sexually massaged, but we don't do it at celebrations. There are other parties for that.

Well, the next day rarely feels very good. :-p The real question is, isn't the event or accomplishment being celebrated already a sufficient source of joy? Doesn't polluting your body with chemicals take away from that?
