So here's the deal: I absolutely love math, there's no other way of putting it. I've always been good at it and I've enjoyed it. I've also enjoyed physics (to an extent... electricity = no thanks!), and as such am now majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I'm happy with my choice, and since I...

For instance i have this song going around my head, yet i hate the the song

Does anyone own any nerdy physics (or any science) shirts? My physics teacher has a shirt that says "Let the F=ma be with you" Lol. It's a little cheesy I guess, but I love it. xD I ordered one that has the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle on it. I can't wait 'till it gets here!

I love physics and physicists! Studying physics and being friends with physicists make me happy. just want to express my feelings.

How important are appearances (smell, looks et.c.) from a biological standpoint? I heard that the "better looking" the person is, the better he appears as genetically suitable for the female.. Is this true? I've heard that apparently partners with different looks are attracted to each other -...

so Valentines is coming up, and I wonder where it all began. I mean now a days, its just a day where we get more candy, and Hallmark gets more money. And sure my boyfriends gets me things, and tells me he loves me, but really guys why does this day exists?

I'm sure I could have found it sooner, but a way to get to many people who think in the realm of physics other than youtube is a nice change. I'll be glad to have discussions about mathematics in other sections of these forums.

Okay so I'm at the point in my life where I'm deciding what I want to do. And the one thing I REALLY want to do is... Astrophysics, the problem is right now I'm not that good at math right now. I kinda like math though. I fooled around a lot in school so I never really payed attention for math...

"Resume" website... would love some feedback! Hello to all, It's coming to be about that time when I'm going to start applying for both jobs and graduate school. Instead of just having a standard resume for jobs, I was thinking of perhaps having something a little bit more interactive and...

Recently I have been strongly reconsidering pursuing a degree in Physics. I absolutely love the subject, but i think my problem is that I love to learn physics, but I do not love to do physics out of necessity. I feel that while I enjoy sitting in class listening to lectures, when the time comes...

No coffee?! This morning, the unthinkable happened: I was out of coffee! To the best of my recollection, this was my first conscious day [as opposed to, surgery days, severe illness, exhaustion] without coffee in 30 years. It is probably one of a few days that I've gone without coffee in...

I LOVE this woman! Mariska rules. When she started portraying a detective on Law and Order, SVU, who was assigned to sexual abuse cases, she got mail from victims of sexual assault/abuse. She and her husband started a foundation to help the victims of such abuse, in real-life. I LOVE this...

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/33929567/?ta=y If you missed this year's "National" here is a link that will get you the whole coverage. I like the Westminster show, too, but it seems a bit over-the-top at times. My dog is smart, personable, and too inventive for his own good. There should be...

I love most of my teachers right now in high school. They're really helpful and make the class fun and exciting. How are college professors? I know that every professor differs in personality, but what are some cool experiences you've had in the college classroom? Joe

Homework Statement Give a Cartesian equation of the given hyperplane The plane passing through (1,2,2) and orthogonal to the line x = (5,1,-1) + t(-1,1,-1)Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So I've looked at this for a few hours and still can't figure out how to do it. It's supposed...

To all the people that answered my previous questions with a "Stop posting so much and get it already!'reply, I AM 13 YEARS OLD! Of course I'm not going to get everything that you guys tell me, so instead of waiting weeks for a new answer to my thread, I post a new similar one. So next time try...

I love to know how electricity is usefuel for us, electric cars, lighting and refrigeration, i love physics but i also like to know what the universe is made of, how is that a bunch of cells and we think! dam! i love chemistry. I also like solar panels and would like to really know how they...

I was watching I LOVE LUCY and they were traveling on a train. Lucy kept pulling the emergency lever for various reasons. One of the times, Ricky was taking a leap up into the air and when the train stopped, he ran into the wall of the train because he was making the leap but the train...

I absolutely love every thing about computer science. I love complexity theory, AI, machine learning, Theory of Computation, Algorithms, etc. etc. But I know that if I get a bachelors degree in computer science then I will just end up in a software development job where I don't get to apply...

Would love some insight--to utilize ap credit or not? To quickly summarize my current academic situation, I just graduated from one of the top private high schools in North Carolina, plan to attend Emory University, and intend to major in physics (I am considering pre-med as well). I was...

Considering that economic recession has been on the agenda for years now, I was asking myself if anything can adequately comfort people in the absence of money and material consumption. The only possibility I could come up with is love and friendship. So my question is whether finding and...

Television Commercials--hate 'em or love 'em one... I've seen the commercial for Topsy-turvy--the planter that hangs with the upside down tomato plant--- if you notice, its the same tomato plant in ALL of the scenes...

A career in science seems to dictate continuous displacements, until a steady position is reached. I was looking at the CV of various scientists and I've seen that the common path is: taking the Bachelor somewhere, then PhD somewhere else, and several post-doc somewhere else again, until...

Hello people, I have 17 years and in 1 year i will be in the university. Well i love physics and science. When i readed the pensum of a Licentiate in physics i like it more, Quantum Mechanics etc. But i live in El Salvador Central America, so i really don't know how much job oportunitys i could...

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'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...

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...

May be you hate your president or some dictator or even an actor/actress, i have two favorites right now, Gordon Brown and my ISP, i am sure neither deserve a place on this Earth, but the fact is they are here, so i can continue to love to hate them.

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...

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="5"]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...

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.
