This may have been discussed before, but what level of interest in physics is there on LW? I seem to recall seeing someone saying they wanted to learn physics, but I don't remember if there were seconds to that.
I'm currently studying physics at my university.
So that makes 2 of us? Odd, I'd have thought physics would appeal more to logically-minded people.
It did appeal at one stage. But I learned enough of the interesting stuff that what is left just seems menial. I never would have thought ten years ago that I would find statistics more engaging. Something to do with being directly useful for constructing the kind of knowledge that most fascinates me.
Well, that and when I've gone back for another science degree there were too many boring prereqs needed before you can get to the fun stuff.
