which feald is you favourite, i find them all to be extremely facinating and i low watching programs or read about it, and it fuels my imagination and my lust for the understanding of the world we live in. i have hard time to choose one favourite myself they all means alot to me, and it helps me understand, life, the earth and the univrese more Biology for understanding the nature, chemistry to understand the earth and physics to understand the universe, also the combined of physics and chemistry to understand both earth and universe, and chemistry to understant us humans, -------------

I was always best at Biology in school. Chemistry is cool Physics is too mathematical. But is the coolest if you understand. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Physics easily, it's an extremely enjoyable subject. Biology is OK some of the time, though not often, and chemistry is the science of the devil.

Physics. Infinitely more palatable when explained by the lovely Amanda Tapping.....can't wait for wormhole travel.

Physics interests me the most by far. I even did pretty well in that class in high school. Otherwise I was a pretty mediocre science student, and Chemistry completely went over my head. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

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

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. |

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. -------------

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

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. ------------- What? |

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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

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. |

Too bad, math and mathematical laws are so far the best we have (even if I surely agree that there are lots of phenomena which can not be explained by them)..

I didn't want to put in the work so instead of chosing science at school thus opted for the fun and easy way out, languages and social studies "The Fun Package"
 passing everything without studying with flying colour hihihi... My sister on the-other-hand opted for the opposite she went into medical science from there even went to do Cancer Research  continuesly studying/research etc to keep up with ever evolving science. Good for her I'd say (we certainly need more people like that) but not something for me plus I am against experimenting things on animals inc. hamsters.  |

Geology mofos! (seriously man, where's the love for the rocks, 8 years of college to become a geologist and we still have to look up at all the 'trendy' and 'relevant' sciences, oh, if your Hadron Collider was so cool where was it when Vesuvius went Pompeii on everything. Yeah, the biologists were wishing the had paid more attention to the geoloists back then) I'll go with Chemestry (cause you need Chem to understand Geology) |

| Chemistry's fun because you get to blow things up (I suppose you can do that in Physics as well). A friend at school once connected his Bunsen Burner to the water tap and cracked everyones' beaker when water shot out of their bunsen burner. He was a local legend who tried to hide some sodium he "borrowed" from school by flushing it down the toilet at home. The resultant explosion cracked the toilet, leading to the headline in the local paper "A flash in the pan"! |
