    Default What branches of science fascinate you the most?

    Since there are so many different branches, I will not even make a poll. Personally, I love astronomy and physics, especially physics since I will need it for being an architecht.

    What about you guys?

    Math, if that counts as a science. Also physics. Chemistry is okay, and so are things like astronomy, and maybe geology, things like that. Life sciences are a bore.

    I am the opposite, I love life sciences, but geology is a bore....

    Physics is my favourite, followed by biology. I don't really like chemistry, mainly because I hated my high school chemistry teacher (damn nazi)

    I like all the sciences, but my favourites are physics and astronomy since that's what my degree is in!

    Freedom from religion is just as much a basic human right as freedom of it.

    Astronomy, but since I find mathematics and chemistry utterly boring I will never have more than a surface understanding of the underlying physics.

    Life sciences suck donkey balls.

    Astronomy and its related fields fascinate me. I also love geography and the earth sciences.

    The Captain likes the science of fartology. But I hate how the military industrial complex hoards all the discoveries and doesn't release them to the public.

    I still can't get over mineraology. It's so much better than petrology.

    There's nothing more humbling and soul-crushing and awe-inspiring as astronomy.
