What do you mean?  Physics is probably the best area in science.  Far better than Bio and better than Chemistry.

Physics is the reason we are still living.  Don't knock it, it's probably the most interesting/booming subject field that is out there today.  Want to time travel?  Too bad, you said physics sucks you deuche.

it is very hard to avoid physics.

Infact I don't think you can at all, no matter what you do. So you might as well bother to learn about it eh?

Yes. Yes it does. AP Physics COMPLETELY ruined my senior year.

Never again.

Im in electricity and magnetism.  I was just writing a lab late at night and had to voice my frustrations.

for sure, chem and bio is just a bunch of memorization whereas physics is a few equations you have to remember, i found physics way easier then chem or bio

mechanical, electrostatic and electromagnetic are all really the same thing... they just use a different vocabulary for each.

Not at all.  I'm in chemical engineering.  Try to get through organic chemistry on memory alone and tell me how much of it you remember a week after your final exam.

Word dude.  I am super observant too.  Even the simplest things will get me going.  That's how I've been my whole life.  It's so fun for me to just think of ways for things to work (cars, planes, chairlifts).  I actually thing chairlifts are really cool.  The high speed ones are really neat too.  It's actually a SUPER simple design.

I hate all science, but in highschool the AP physics teacher was awesome, so the AP class was actually easier than the regular class.  So knocked that out early.

Yup. I agree for sure. It can be super helpful too in everyday life. And it's interesting to learn about. Relativity is awesome.

Same, she's what made me hate it so much. Like, mechanics was great but when we got to fluids my brain just turned into a pile of mush. I couldn't get the hang of it for the life of me. Same with magnetism..but circuits were alright
