What is your favorite branch of science?

[Staurm]

so which route should i choose with this fork in the road..micro or molecular?

as far as i believe, the ultimate goal of mine to be a part of vaccinations and cures are on the cellular level..but this kind of stuff has a lot to do with genetics and such. there are some rna virus', i think, that actually change your dna or something..i dunno.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose corrupt pharmaceutical companies polluting your ma's viens. Choose side effects and contra-indications. Choose animal testing. Choose chemical warfare pedalling your out dated defence mechanisms. Choose an obsolete paradigm. Choose third world dumping grounds. Choose a career. Choose the central dogma. Choose money.

Fuck that.

It doesn't really make a shite of a difference which one you go for, they are both essentially the same I think. What matters is whether you choose to sell your soul to capitalism, or realise that the way forward is the holistic way.

Whatever you do though, best of luck with it. :thumbsup:

holisitic..meaning accupuncture and the like?

not a big fan of course..being a biology major and all. great stress reducers i guess..but they dont really make a dent in viral infections unfortunately.

Holistic as in everything, a new science based on looking at the whole as opposed to individual fragments and trying to tie them all together. It seems not to be working very well, hence the general trend of social health patterns towards pandemic reaches. Strikes me as rather folly a pursuit to try to break the biological organism down into parts, when in fact its the failure of the organism to operate healthily stems from its inabilty to integrate its whole self into the environment.

I like quantum physics too.

This is a science I am very interested in. I have not taken any school courses in normal physics yet; But I imagine that they are two very different fields, correct me if I'm wrong.

Atomic Theory. I dunno jack $h!t about it, but believe it can explain EVERYTHING.

[KingsBlend420]

Astronomy is by far my favorite it blows my mind. I also really like psychology and learning about how and why our brains work the way they do.

The philosophycal part of quantum physics can be nice and intriguing... it rises a lot of deep questions about the nature of the things... but the mathematical part of it is just hell...

I like physics, chemistry, math, phyiosophy, astronomy, geology, meteorology... if i had to choose only one of them, i would choose physics, cause its the basis of most of this another sciences...
Anyway now im turning to more spiritual/occult/non-physical knowledge... our world is not only the material, physical things, so i think its an waste to focus only in this aspects of the world.
Surprisingly, more i learn this, more i seem to percieve a deep conection between some of this "spiritual/occult" knowledge and some intriguing statements of quantum physics...
Maybe the very ones that disregard more heatedly the non-physical aspects of the world (the scientists, mainly physics ones) are the ones which have the proofs of the existence of this aspects... but cant understand it, due their fixation in the material, physical world...

chemistry is by far my favorite. i used to be going to school for pharmacy but decided to switch my major. i miss the chemistry.

Wow I'm only the second to pick botany as a favorite. I intend to specialize myself in botany and be a contributor to the fight against the molestation of the environment. Growing herb really made the seed of interest in botany become a forest of intrigue for me, if you'll excuse the pun.

I love physics because its laws are pretty much unbreakable. I took chemistry once and was irritated by how many times it forces you to break its fundamental tenets, but I know it is a very basic science and intend to become better acquainted.

My other favorites are astronomy, geography, psychology/philosophy (at which I'm currently most adept), quantum physics, political science (as oxymoronic as it is)

I'm fond of Astronomy myself. The study of the universe always intrigues me.
