The Answer - Puberty

Thursday, April 26, 2007

After my brain was reeling from the side-effects of doing 3 hours of calculus, I called up a friend for some moral support.
One thing led to another and then we came up with the theory that PUBERTY is the cause of most, if not all, mysteries of the universe.

Puberty apparently answers

1. Why did the dinosaurs dissappear?
2. Newton's law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"
3. What made the apple fall?
4. Why is the universe expanding at such a fast rate?
5. Purpose of life.

Whilst puberty is not the direct answer to some of those, it is indeed a major contributor.

1. Why did the dinosaurs dissappear?

Lizards don't have hair (normal hair not the 'special' kinds that some reptiles have)

When the dinosaurs reached puberty thew grew hair.... and lots of it
=> they were not reptiles anymore.
=> they ceased to exist
=> extinction

2. Newton's law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"

The advent of puberty introduces sexual desire. So when two people are indulging in intercourse, a thrust by one partner will lead to the other to move in the opposite direction to the same extent.
Hence proved

3. What made the apple fall?

The fruit reached puberty. It began to have problems with its mom (the tree). Filled with angst it began to weaken the bonds b/w the tree and itself.

Once it got ripe it fell off.

4. Why is the universe expanding at such a fast rate?

This one requires you to consider the entire universe as a living being.
Remember how you had growth spurts when you hit puberty?
Well it's the same here.

5. Purpose of life.

Not talking about individual purposes, the basic purpose of life is to create and offspring an ensure survival of your species.
But that can only happen because of puberty.
Puberty leads to growth of your sexual organs.
No sexual organs means no sperm and ovum
=> no eggs
=> no life

It needs some tweaking, but we plan to enter it for the Nobel.
