Love Definition and 320 Threads

"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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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.

I hate to say it but unfortunately I love my Maths teacher. She is very hot, intelligent and cultured. We went for a meal yesterday and I had a great time. Unfortunately she's married and there's no way in hell she loves me. It wouldn't be so bad if my lessons with her weren't to end in a few...

Be true to yourself here please, perfection is in the eye of the beholder, but how many imperfections could you tolerate and still truly (love) some one?

Kids between 10-12 start to 'notice' the opposite sex and some may even show feelings of strong love for one. But the thing is they don't show this feeling to anyone of the opposite sex, even if others are attractive or physically appealing as well. At that age people are not fully aware of...

I'm sort of in a bad dilemma right now and need some advice. I'm a CS major and I've slowly grown to like math more and more and coding and the usual CS stuff less and less. In short, math has become my new passion and I'm thinking of changing my major even though I'm 2.5 years into my CS degree...
