So I've been to social anxiety forums, Aspie forums, and depression forums. But I can't find anyone to relate to on them, since many people on these forums are over 22 and the ones who aren't tend not to be very academic. The trick with finding friends as an aspiring astrophysicist is that...

The question is simple: If you needed a job done for you, any job, would you hire friends to do it for you? As far as my family and friends are concerned, if I had a company and needed to hire someone or had a job that needed to be done... I'd never hire the people I know! Think about it...

A couple friends worked on this problem (for a week now...) Trying to show that a conformal bijective map that sends vertices of one rectangle to vertices of another rectangle on the complex plane has to be linear. I would appreciate any help, Thank you.

A town has 6 parks. One day, 6 friends, who are unaware of each other's decision, choose a park randomly and go there at the same time. What is the probability that at least 2 of them go to the same park? Any idea for this kind of question? I have an idea, but I don't know how to put in a...

Two friends Andy and Cal form a team together. Andy is as old as Cal will be when Andy is twice as old as Cal was when Andy was half as old as the sum of their current ages. Cal is as old as Andy was when Cal was half as old as he will become in ten years. Determine the respective current...

So I have been entertaining the thought to organize a meeting with PF friends, and dialogueing in chat about it yesterday, I felt enough encouragement to proceed. If there are enough firm indications and commitments to visit, it can be done, and at resonable costs. And I'm more than happy to...

What do you guys think? To what extent, does having money, help you in your social bondings?

Right here's a story, All this started with someone proclaiming that energy/mass equivalance and general relativity were the same thing, the other people taking this guys side and of course, they were wrong. So eventually we came onto other topics and I said based on the strong nuclear...

Just saw Star Trek like an hour ago with my friend and it was great! :biggrin: I've never actually seen the show but I think I can make time. How did you guys like it?

Ok, I have a beef. Some friends want math help all the time, and like now I just say no now. Most people just want answers and not help. I prefer to help people I don't know who actually work, and come to me with real questions. I think people forget that when I help them in math that I am...

Hi Guys, First post here. I'm in a debate with my friend who happens to be a climbing buddy. Dynamic ropes for climbing & abseiling come in two standard sizes, 50 and 60 Meters. The point being debated is weather or not the 60 meter rope has to be stronger than it's 50 meter counterpart...

Any one know of some good party tricks?

Bashful, Dopey, and Sneezy are arguing about how many friends Grumpy has. Bashful claims that Grumpy has at least fifty friends. Dopey says that Grumpy certainly doesn't have that many, whereas Sneezy remarks that Grumpy must have at least one friend. If what only one of the three is saying...

Dirac equation and friends :) I was playing with Dirac equations and deriving some usefull details, Note sure for a calculation, is all the math right? Beginning: we require for a pure Lorentz trasf that the spinor field trasform linearly as: \psi'(x')=S(\Lambda)\psi(x)...

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this:

Homework Statement There's a 100m wide river, with a current of 8.5 m/s going 45 degrees SE. You and a friend are standing directly opposite each other across the river, the friend on the north side, you on the south side. You each get in boats that travel 7 m/s relative to the water and...

The toys apparently have lead in the paint. I have a feeling that the list below from the Consumer Product Safety Commission is going to grow. I bought these for my grandson from "The Learning Curve". DAMN They should have been covered in gold for what they cost...

the more i grow up the more i realize that most of my school colleagues and peers are very selfish and that i should not rely on them. So i'd like to know what you guys think about this

Funniest episode of "Friends?" Which episode of the tv programme Friends did you like best and why? Who is the best actor/actress on Friends? Should the stars of Friends have been paid so much money?

This will probably once and for all put an end to my comedy badge. You might have noticed that I was missing today, until the wee hours. We got a call at 11:30 last night. Our niece's son was born at 24 weeks, 2 weeks ago. Things looked semi-promising until last night. Nothing could really...

Before I moved, I was best friends with this lovely little girl named Sarah with her British accent. We used to play together all the time and go over each others house/birthday parties. Then at the end of 2nd grade I moved away, and never saw her again. How sad...then four days ago I got a...

Me and 5 of my friends are on vacation now. I wanted to orginize something that we could do together. I personally would enjoy solving riddles and stuff but not all (4) of my friends are that nerdy. On the other hand, going to the beach or on a hike and stuff are out of the question as are...

How much, often and how do you like to poke fun at your friends, neighbors, relatives, pets, strangers, local politicians and laywers? I think I end up saying a lot of things that piss them off. One time I compressed an ice cube onto my dog's balls while he was sleeping. *tee hee!* :approve: I...

I've been chuckling over this all evening so I decided to make a post. I have a good friend, in fact one of my best friends, who enjoys those slightly, or more than slightly heated philosophical/religious/science debates. Even though we have been friends for a long time now, I drive him totally...

My sympathies really do go out to all the Americans out in the world. They are in the unenviable position having to pick from one of two bad choices. Here in Canada we had a similarly tough time trying to pick from Harper and Martin (both of them are jackasses). I voted Layton personally, but...

Here's a neat little trick I just learned: Tell your friend to write down a 3 or 4 digit number, but don't let you see it (it can actually be any number of digits over 2, but if your friends are like mine they get confused easily). Tell them to use a variety of different numbers. Let's say our...
