Rank Your High School Subjects From Favourite to Least Favourite!
K.Smithy:
1. Methods/Psychology
What can I say? I'm a nerd and I love them both :)
2. Physics
I can't wait for unit 4! (Really... all I wanna talk about is string theory and unit 4 offers me the perfect chance to just casually slip it into conversation ;D)
3. Biology
Also can't wait for unit 4 :D
I honestly love my STEM subjects though, it is definitely hard to rank them. I love each and every one of these fields, but sometimes school can really suck the fun out of a topic - or it doesn't go as in depth as I would love to. If I had to rank these STEM fields based upon how much I loved them in general - ignoring how they are taught at school and what is in the syllabus - they would all be fighting for the #1 spot.
4. Study of Religion
Ethics is this subject's saviour.. If we didn't study ethics, SOR would be competing with English for my absolute least favourite subject
I just find it sooooo repetitive. I've learnt about the major world religions for like 4 years in a row... its killing me
5. General English
English doesn't even deserve to be on the list... I have always hated this subject. 1. it's boring, 2. it's repetitive, 3. it's pointless... I don't understand why they can't just give us an English grade based off of the assignments we do for other subjects... why do we need a whole subject? I know this is gonna sound controversial but here I go... SHAKESPEARE WILL NEVER HELP ME IN LIFE...
I must say though, shout out to literally lauren for making English seem so so interesting and actually enjoyable! I left the QUT English lecture in September wishing Lauren was my English teacher - if she was I wouldn't have a single complaint about English... (Lauren if you see this, please be my English teacher. Thank you 😉 )

Really String theory? That's interesting. I don't expect them to give you much more than a small description of what it is.
However if you do have an interest in it I encourage you to watch Michio Kaku's video on youtube about it. He co-developed this theory.
Only a handful of people in the world understand it but I agree it is VERY interesting...
Evolio:
1. Literature 1 & 2 ;D
2. Psychology 1 & 2
3. Methods 3 & 4
4. Biology 3 & 4
5. Chemistry 1 & 2
6. Specialist Mathematics 1 & 2 :o
This is according to 2019. Who knows, it might change next year...

Haha already ahead of you :) My teacher got me to write an essay on any topic I wanted in grade 9, and I chose string theory. I watched Michio Kaku's video about a million times because I was just so intrigued.

I guess my question for you is: do you believe M-theory is the true unified field theory? :)

That's great! I started out that way as well. Back in primary school I would watch a LOOT of videos on the universe and what not and soon that transitioned into contest Physics and now a degree in Physics!

Ouch now that is the most interesting question. The big thing is IF M-theory is proven true we will finally have a way to bring together General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
What usually happens and has happened throughout the history of Physics is we come up with laws and theories, and then more research is done and we find out those Laws are a VERY small subset of a bunch of greater Laws. For example Newtonian Mechanics for hundreds of years was considered to be correct but that Einstein published Relativity and we find that Newtons Laws are actually a subset of the equations Einstein came up with in relativity. By making a few assumptions you can bring them out. So I guess what I would say is all the theories we have now MAY be correct including M-theory but it's HIGHLY likely that they are a simplification of an even more grand theory or Law that we are yet to discover.
The biggest problem for Physicists is figuring out gravity. There are so many theories but all fail when it comes to explaining Gravity.
