We hypothesized that physical attractiveness and indicators of attachment anxiety and avoidance would be related to mate choice variables (e.g.‚ number of first dates‚ and the probability

equation. This theory of everything will reveal everything about the universe‚ most importantly‚ how it began. So far the only game in town is string theory. String theory is a purely mathematical theory that makes the bold claim that all matter and force particles are made of unimaginably tiny strings that vibrate in 10 dimensions.

In the year 1803‚ Thomas Young first introduced the idea of trichromatic color representation. Young proposed that we have three “particles” in the eye that are each sensitive to a specific range of visible light that allows us to see color. Years later‚ Hermann von Helmholtz continued Young’s theory. Helmholtz suggested that the three different “particles” were categorized by their response the different wavelengths of light that hit the retina. Today‚ we know that the “particles” that Young and
