    Intractible? 3 years ago

    Looks like we’ll need to wait for a higher energy accelerator before we can really get to the bottom of this one. I think my boson theory was a stab in the right direction though. Does a sum over histories approach reveal destinations for a given source? Do the probability amplitudes of cheers diminish or fluctuate over time? What causes collapse of the cheer wavefunction? Is cheer fermiology a viable approach for the study of good-will conduction?

    Questions for another people, in another age. Perhaps?

    Not completely successful... 3 years ago

    but I refuse to admit defeat.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that a coherent and provable cheer theory does not exist.

    Others have tried as to define a cheer theory. Cathibeth’s is a valient attempt, in my opinion. http://www.43things.com/people/progress/cathibeth/1155649
    The mathematical approach seems to work at least some of the time.

    But how do we account for the whimsey, for lack of a better word, of the Cheer Fairy, theoretically the source of all cheers, and the Cheer Goblin, who is reputed to steal cheer away from users in a random and disappointing manner? Some have suggested that the two are actually one and the same. Can we really expect a steady and uninterrupted flow of cheers, arriving on schedule?

    My short answer is: we can’t.

    Cheers or the lack of cheers is simply something that we must learn to live with.

    As for a cheer theory, we must live without that.

    What about "zero"? 3 years ago

    How come, some days, you don’t have any cheers at all to give away?

    Am I imagining things? 3 years ago

    Or has there been a marked decrease in cheer evaporation?

    Maybe the robots fixed something.

    Anyway, hurrah and carry on!

    I was wrong, the cheer is a boson. It is a force carrying particle. It mediates an exchange of energy between two users. Like a tentacle, the cheer reaches out and says “I see you. I hear you. I like you. I am like you.” And the cheer also leaves a trail, like a gossamer thread, leading back to the sender. This trail says “Follow me. See me. Hear me. If you wish”.

    Stand back and admire these myriad threads, binding together the space-time of 43T. Like a silver spider’s web, glistening with morning dew.



    JudithKD Hello? Where did I go?

    Cathibeth did it, not me! 3 years ago

    But there isn’t anyway to note that it’s done…but I didn’t do it she did. Three cheers!!!

    Cathibeth did it 3 years ago

    So I’m going to count this complete!

    Yahoo!



    My conclusion 3 years ago

    1) We receive five cheers daily, probably around the time of day we initially signed up and:

    2) We receive one cheer for every cheer received the previous day, with the exception of:

    3) We can only give 23% more cheers than we receive (formula below)

    4) We have to use them before their life span of 24 hours or they go to cheer heaven.

    In essense the more we cheer, the more we receive, the more we give.

    G = Total Cheers Given, R = Total Cheer Received

    R/G=X

    By golly, I think that’s it!



    I'm editing a bit here... 3 years ago

    The cheer percentage, also known as the CP (how many cheers you may cheer above the cheers recieved).

    I currently have given 514 and received 398. In calculating the CP over the last few days, it remains steady at .225680934, or 23%.



    I think I've figured it out! 3 years ago

    I do believe you are right!

    Okay… the facts… (or what are suppose to be facts):

    1) We receive five cheers daily, probably around the time of day we initially signed up.

    2) We receive one cheer for every cheer received the previous day, with the exception of:

    3) We can only give 25% more cheers than we receive, (i.e. say you’ve recieved 299 cheers and you’ve given 399, you need to receive one more cheer to reach 400)

    In essense the more we cheer, the more we receive, the more we give.

    By golly, I think that’s it!
