I'm more a physicist then a chemist but I found that very interesting to read. A great post. You almost made me wish I hadn't dropped chemistry.

I am decent with chemistry, but...Don't try to understand this after being up 24+ hours.

Reading that article reaffirmed for me why I hate chemistry. I'm so glad I dropped that subject. ^_^

Uhh.. I don't see what's so terribly wrong with chemistry, it's my way of explaining things! I'm glad some people enjoy physics though, because I really don't enjoy physics at all: even if you're doing it right you do it wrong, that's what I experienced from it. Right answer + incomplete explanation even when it's obvious = wrong.

I'm just moaning though

, thank you for all the good comments, I really appreciate them!

As a scientist, I quite enjoyed this post! Very affirmative.

I always found the definition of chemistry rather loose- as if it was a subset of physics that just decided to be its own topic- but that has never stopped me from appreciating it!

Ah... physics... it's all relative.

As my high school Physics teacher would say-- "Physics is Phat! Yo!" Although my college physics experience was only awesome because of the astronomy class I was taking at the same time, where I was able to apply the Physics I was learning. I LOVED that astronomy class. I miss it...

As the great web comic XKCD put it, sociology is just applied psychology, psychology is just applied biology, biology is just applied chemistry, chemistry is just applied physics, and physics is just applied math.

I have to say that I am more of a biology nerd though. That is probably heavily influenced by the fact that my mom has a Ph.D. in Bacteriology and runs a lab and teaches classes at a university. Understanding genetics, cells, etc. comes kinda naturally to me.

My older brother is currently planning to major in sociology right now, however.
