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)

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

I have the best understanding of Physics and Biology
I was/is not so good at chemistry, i am not so good a measuring, and combining the various acids and nitrogens,and other things you can play with in the scinence class, but i understand it also, but i can't do it in praxis.
i found quantum physics to be the field in pyiscs i whould most likely willing to learn more about, in biochemstry is also very facinating,

All are fascinating and I "understand" them all - physics is my favourite and the one I have most interest in, it is the one I am best at and applied physics (and thus applied mathematics) is my chosen profession. My quips about the olfactory assault of biology and chemistry are the reason I preferred physics at school - and the reasons why we pick one over another can be that mundane and trivial, and that banal - simply put - chemical and biochemical reactions can create unpleasant smells, and the smell of formaldehyde is one of those unpleasant smells. When physics produces an offensive pong then usually something has gone horribly wrong with the experiment.

yeah, safer too - you really don't want to get anywhere near physics or biological explosions.

Ah, but all explosions are technically physics explosions if you think about it. They may be caused by a chemical reaction (many to most are, after all) but the behaviour of the aftermath is all physics. Plus, supernovas are physics explosions and they're a lot cooler (not literally) than most chemistry explosions.

ture but I mostly meant my study of chemistry seems to have included lots more
explosions than biology and physics, but maybe it was just my chemistry
teacher's pyromania.

When a head explodes ... like in Scanners.
Now, if I was asked Phys. or Math, ... I'd probably say Math.
