[Dr. Strange]

5. Number

[TZ]

6. .

Funny I would have thought your favorite would have been the theory of "sexual selection"...You know, why and how females attract males, ie why females have boobs....:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

10. That's my hobby.

And it's not so much a theory as it is a practice. 'Cause practice makes perfect.

:)

19. how females attact males?

simple-clevage and lately those necklaces that dangle in between said clevage.:P

[TZ]

22. I'll let you in on a secret told to me once...

ANY necklace that hangs low is like an arrow pointing to said cleavage for men (yes, another woman actually told me that once in a tip on how to get a dance actually...):rofl:

[Beer Snob-50]

27. it is a known fact that for many men

cleavage will reduce our iq's by a good 100 points!

[peruban]

31. Definately.

Some women just have that certain quality that makes men downright stupid.

[redqueen]

7. Conspiracy.

My favorite is the lizard people.

:bounce:

[Deep13]

8. Intelligent Falling

It is an alternative to the theory of gravity that acknowleges god's role in making things fall.

[LanternWaste]

9. Big Bang Theory, but only because of...

Big Bang Theory, but only because of...



(Yeah, I Know, I know... I watch way too much TV)

[flvegan]

14. Damn fine reason.

:thumbsup:

[Parche]

11. Parche Is A Stud

:hi:

[TZ]

12. Dude.

Thats not even a hypothesis, let alone a theory....:P

[taterguy]

13. Game

[redqueen]

15. I'm surprised no one's said "unified field"

or "chaos".

[CBGLuthier]

16. M-theory

Because it is just so damned trippy.

[redqueen]

21. Yes!

That's the one with the branes, right?

[CBGLuthier]

25. Yes indeed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_theory

[redqueen]

26. So is there a different name for the theory with P-branes?

Or is it the same theory, but "P" just doesn't get a mention in the title?

Yes, I am too lazy to look it up. :P



on edit: It turns out I'm more impatient than lazy...I checked, and it's the same theory. :)

[peruban]

17. Electromagnetic theory.

Who can argue with the elegance of Maxwell's equations? Richard Feynman said that 500 years from now Maxwell will be considered the greatest physicist of the second millennium.











I'm also a big fan of Gravitational theory:



I get really irritated when people are perfectly willing to accept these scientific theories but reject evolution on the basis that it's just a "theory". They get downright offended, claiming that electromagnetism and gravity are FACTS, which they aren't. They're just the best working model we have to explain natural phenomena, hence, theories. I just laugh in their faces an ask them if they're members of the Flat Earth Society.

18. The Harry Dean Stanton Theory,

first posited by Roger Ebert, who believes that no movie featuring Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh can be a bad movie.

[LynneSin]

23. That's just a rip-off of the Caine-Hackman Theory

which states at any given time period within the day you can find either a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie on TV. The final proof - A Bridge too Far!

[Bake]

29. That's true, though, not a theory but a fact.

Harry Dean, however, was in Steven Seagal's "Fire Down Below," which would have sucked otherwise, but Harry Dean's presence (as well as cameos by Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt) made it acceptable. Also, Seagal kicked some major redneck ass. And Kris Kristofferson was in it too.

Come to think of it, that was a pretty good movie ...

24. Before I vote...

Does Murphy's Law count as a theory?

[peruban]

28. No, laws are different than theories.

Law: a. a statement of a relation or sequence of phenomena invariable under the same conditions.
b. a mathematical rule.


Theory: 1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice
5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.

30. Nobody's mentioned RELATIVITY yet?????

Sheesh! Einstein was a freakin' GENIUS, people!!

Bake

[peruban]

32. Because relativity is such an obvious choice.

You know we always like to look smarter or smarmier than we really are.

[LynneSin]

33. Yes but so was Pigman from PCU

Caine-Hackman Theory is a legend!

[redqueen]

35. That's old...

get with the times, grandpa!

[Bake]

36. Ah, but the truth is AGELESS, Grasshopper!

And let's see, it only took humanity a few zillion years to come up with it ...

Grandpa indeed! Why you young whippersnapper you!! Get off my lawn!!

Bake

For the record, I have no grandchildren. That I know of.
