AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an individual expressing an obsession with physics that is straining their romantic relationship. They seek advice on whether there is a recognized condition related to their intense focus on physics and inquire about support groups. The conversation shifts to the philosophical question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, with various participants offering perspectives. Some argue that the egg came first, as it would have been laid by a chicken-like ancestor, while others suggest the chicken must have come first to lay eggs. The thread also humorously suggests potential solutions to the individual's relationship issues, including prioritizing physics over their boyfriend or finding a partner who shares their passion for science. Overall, the discussion highlights the intersection of personal interests and relationships, alongside a light-hearted exploration of a classic philosophical dilemma.

Hey guys :wink:
I was lieing in bed this morning thinking about physics (as usual) mmmmmm physics and my boyfriend said you spend more time thinking about physics than me. This is putting serious strains on our relationship but i just can't stop thinking about the fasinating facts and theories that physics provides us with. Is there a recognised addiction/illness that covers my condition and where can i receive help (support groups for example). On a more serious note...what did actually come first? the chicken or the egg? This question is driving me insane and my boyfriend away! HELP! I can't cope without knowing! everytime i look at a chicken i want to scream! :confused:
any addvice on my illness or the question that's driving me crazy will be gratefully recieved.
:smile:

umm u better post that to General Philosophy there is a topics just right for u.

btw my thinking was that. chicken came first, cause egg must be lay by a egg
lay-able animal. right? =P

life begins with a single cell and it goes on transformaing or evloving into others until something was turn to be a chicken , and that chicken have the ability to lay eggs.

it's like apeman came from fish? sea mamals,who lay eggs? (not the one with shell but with a membrane... something like that) (i hope this is right. it's just my memory ) then it was [ evlove ] into human, and human born beautiful babies.
 
i would have said the egg came first. Cos the chicken-like ancestor would have laid the egg in which NOWADAYS chicken has evolved into.
 
Neither, the pre chicken single celled organsim split in two, making one the first "to be chicken".
 
Well thanks a lot for your answer BUT one problem any solutions to my condition??
 
Possible Solutions:

Educate yourself about physics.

What do you like better, physics or present boyfriend?

Get rid of boyfriend.

Get physicist for boyfriend. Warning: They are like mink.

I don't think that appealing to physicists for advise about this is going to get you anywhere. You need to consult with resident PF Relationship Couselor, Ms. Evo. She is your only hope

Ah, I have the same problem. I cannot stop talkig or thinking about science. It does have a tendency to annoy some people.
