      Physics! Though they are all pretty interesting and important. Out of the three physics is the broadest topic and has always interested me the most. In a way it deals with the simplest and most fundamental concepts which Chemistry and Biology rely on. Physics comes from a greek word meaning nature and it almost philosophical in its pursuit to understand nature itself (which means understand everything!) It is basically any science that does not fit neatly into chemistry or biology. In fact, modern chemistry and modern biology look a lot like physics! Maybe the boundaries between the subjects are slowly breaking down…

      Chemistry will always be my favourite, because it gives you a legitimate excuse for blowing stuff up with lasers (in the lab, of course).

      Chemistry, definitely. It let to my interest in making my own fireworks; which is really good fun.
