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...

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...

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...

Male mice serenade potential mates with ultrasonic love songs, a study by US scientists has revealed. The ultrasonic chirps emitted by mice resemble birdsong. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4395664.stm

Two full games for the price of one. (go 'stros) My prediction: Cards over ChiSox in the WS.

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?

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!

You know your dog loves you if it gives you a wash after licking its bits. you know your cat loves you when it leaves a present in the litter tray.

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...

Score! hehe :smile:

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...

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...

I subscribe to Dish, and part of what they offer is Sirius digital music channels. About 100 channels, no commercials (except for Sirius' own), and each channel dedicated to a different type of music. Every variety of music one can imagine can be found (though if it were my company, I'd add a...

Hi, I just completed reading a very interesting article called "Love Thy Neighbor: The Evolution of In-Group Morality," by Professor John Hartung. Here is the link to the full article: http://members.aol.com/toexist/ltnhome.html His basic premise is that through the evolutionary processes...

We love our gran. She sits in the chair and keeps an eye on all of us. She makes sure we keep the windows shut when it's cold and open when it is warm. We don't mind her telling us what to do. She makes demands, but we made demands of her. She had a household to run for years and years, running...

We have discussed about many things in this forum without mentioning about the definition of "love". So, what do you think love is all about?

I *LOVE* Ann Coulter! Today I was in a Barnes & Nobles when I saw http://www.townhall.com/acimgs/webimages/annblack.jpg latest book, How to Talk to a Liberal. I'd only heard of Ann Coulter and seen her on cable news, so I decided to pick up the book and sit down with it for a few minutes. This...

Do you believe in love? sometimes i wonder... is it just a chemical reaction in the brain? hormones creating certain feelings by sending singnals to certain points of your brain? i am not quite sure how this works. It would be helpful if someone could try to explain.. :redface...

How about the debut by Brad Penny? 8 IP, 2 H, 0 ER. Gagne looked tired as hell tonight. Tracy should have let Penny go the distance.

Something came up on the TV that made me wonder about this. I understand that we can account for certain aspects of the feelings of love that humans experience. First, what is the limit of this understanding. Next, how do we account for the many [philosophically] different types of love...

The Czechs and Poles are looking forward to the placement of defensive missile bases/radar systems as partners in the US’s “Star wars” program. Welcome aboard!

"Just because its not science does not necessarily mean its a bad thing... like Love for example..." RPF So what exactly is love? Love of science? Love of a girl/guy? Anyone like to explain this? :approve:

Can it bring me happiness then ? Is it true that if I have money, I can buy a many things even someone to work for me ? Or if someone has money, do I have to follow him ? And if I had a lot of money and someone is after me, what will I do ? His love is untrue right ? I know material life...
