I like Biology and I am glad that Pythagoras' Theorem aka Maths was not included above as I am not font of maths however those subjects above do inc. Algebra.ugh  
Scientific Laws never interested me much.

Do you keep dropping the word fictional in the thread to put emphasis on something?

When I was young, I had a chemistry set.
I had an interest in toads.
I dropped things, uhhh. :)
I don't read fiction any more, but I used to read sci-fi.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, despite my poor academic performance in school, and Science for that matter, I still retain to find it immensely interesting, and an essential body of work to be studied. Physics is probably my favourite though, and the one sceince class I've done at least Sub-Par in. Chemistry is great too, I just hate the practical part - Never taking that class again.

Good poll, because I can't answer the question. I'd rather read about reality than fiction but since the three options are only based on what we know and such as prone to be fictional...

Indeed, adding to what I said before that "biology is a consequence of chemistry and chemistry is a consequence of physics", the top physicist John Wheeler even proposed that physics is a consequence of biology, which if true would close the circle. (more precisely he proposed that the existence of conscious observers like us is what makes the universe exist, what he called the Participatory Universe)

Physics. Chemistry would be interesting but they ruined it for me when I was in school, since they taught it in German and I wasn't paying much attention so I didn't particularly shine. I got great grades in physics and ok ones in biology.

Fundamental physics is what interest me the most, but my sister and brother in law are biochemists and my brother is a chemist, and I enjoy talking with them about those subjects too. They are all related to some extent, biology is a consequence of chemistry and chemistry is a consequence of physics. |

That's me too.
I finished the school with a 19/20 average in physics
I passed chemistry "With a Little Help from my Friends" specially after mixing ammonium hydroxide and iodine inside the teacher's office and somebody rated me

PS: Don't try it, the desired effect (fetid smell) is excellent, but I learned in the hard way that it's also flammable

Chemistry is good for blowing things away.
It still smells funny.

The world needs people like you who can make sense of that crazy stuff. I have a friend who's a professor of chemistry at Seattle University, and I'm always blown away by the stuff she's reading or the papers she's grading.
