If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If a change in government policies induces changes in consumers ' behavior on the same time scale, the assumption that consumer behaviour remains unchanged while policy changes is inadmissible as a substantive isolation (→ Lucas critique ).

The well-known historian of physics, C. P. Snow, says about him, " If Fermi had been born a few years earlier, one could well imagine him discovering Rutherford's atomic nucleus, and then developing Bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom.

If, as I suspect, the problem is largely of the second sort, then development of a theory better able to handle tone will result automatically in better theory for all phonologic subsystems.

If a single test fails, then the theory is falsified.

If the first theory is correct ( see above ), then the absence of cavalry removed the main Athenian tactical disadvantage, and the threat of being outflanked made it imperative to attack.

If the second theory is correct, this raises the further question of why the Persians, having hesitated for several days, then attacked.

If the wave function is regarded as ontologically real, and collapse is entirely rejected, a many worlds theory results.

If wave function collapse is regarded as ontologically real as well, an objective collapse theory is obtained.

If one axiomatizes relations instead of functions, one obtains the theory of allegories.

If the program is given to someone who speaks only English to execute the instructions of the program by hand, then in theory, the English speaker would also be able to carry on a conversation in written Chinese.

If we consider the thesis and its converse as definition, then the hypothesis is an hypothesis about the application of the mathematical theory developed from the definition.

If, after that, they breach the order, proceedings can be started and in theory the person involved can be sent to prison.

If the ideological approach is concerned with broad movements and the effects of the world around the filmmaker, then the auteur theory is diametrically opposed to it, celebrating the individual, usually in the person of the filmmaker, and how his personal decisions, thoughts, and style manifest themselves in the material.

If confirmed, this would imply special relativity is an approximation to a more general theory, but since the relevant comparison would ( by definition ) be outside the observable universe, it is difficult to imagine ( much less construct ) experiments to test this hypothesis.

If this sounds indulgent, it allows simultaneity, absolute space and time and a deterministic universe ( along with decoherence theory ) whilst the status-quo permits time travel / causality paradoxes, subjectivity in the measurement process and multiple universes.

If the field of scalars of the vector space has characteristic p, and if p divides the order of the group, then this is called modular representation theory ; this special case has very different properties.

If the group is neither abelian nor compact, no general satisfactory theory is currently known.

If no value of the rotation parameter is successful and theory is not within observational error, a modification of physical law is considered.

In The Origin of Species, he wrote, " If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.

If, after a few thousand generations, the bacteria evolved the bacterial flagellum, then Behe believes that this would refute his theory.

If the underlying manifold is supersymmetric, the resulting theory is a supersymmetric Yang – Mills theory.

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple ( also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple ) of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM ( a, b ), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. If either a or b is 0, LCM ( a, b ) is defined to be zero.

If there were such a number then the theory would be inconsistent, contrary to the consistency hypothesis.

If the lift coefficient for a wing at a specified angle of attack is known ( or estimated using a method such as thin airfoil theory ), then the lift produced for specific flow conditions can be determined using the following equation:
