Well, I had nothing to do, so I wrote this out to explain how Physics does not suck. Hopefully, you'll at least be able to understand it.

"Physics sucks!"
Now hold it right there. Aside from the obvious fact that something that governs your every movement in life cannot suck, there's another reason why it can't suck. It has to do with air pressure. Try this:
Get a hard-boiled egg and peel it. Also, you'll need a bottle with a slightly thinner neck than the width of the bottle. Finally, you'll need some matches and a piece of paper (you'll have to work to get the right size).
Now, set the egg, point side down, over the bottle neck. Notice that the egg is too big for the hole (but hopefully you realized that already). Now, take the piece of paper, light it with the match, and drop it in the bottle. Then put the egg, once again point side down, so it rests on the neck. Then wait. If you did this right, the egg will fall into the bottle.
Now, some may say the egg was sucked into the bottle. This isn't true. The oxygen in the bottle was used up by the smoke from the burning piece of paper. The egg prevented more air from coming into the bottle. So, as the fire goes out, and the bottle cools down, the air pressure decreases within the bottle. After a short while, the air pressure will be at a level low enough in comparrison to the pressure outside, that the egg will literally be pushed into the bottle.
Now, how do you get the egg out?
Simple, you do the process in reverse, but you blow into the bottle instead of letting the air be used up. This reverses the pressure so that the egg will pop out of the bottle.
Now you know why Physics doesn't 'suck.' It's because it 'blows!'

Hehehehe... *sigh*. I really need to find better things to do with my time.

Physics does rock, biology is what I hate out of the three sciences.

agreed Biology is crap

and im going to be a dick about it

it is not physicaly posible for a subject to "suck"

Don't get me wrong, Physics is my favorite (and best) science too. I just couldn't resist blowing a basic experiment out of proportions to show that Physics can't suck :|.

Hehe, very nice Glenn. ;)

I enjoy Physics as well.

Physics pwns! Biology sucks, and don't me started on chemistry
:P

In comparison to all you lot, physics is my worst science subject. That dosnt mean I hate it, I just prefer the others, espeically biochemistry.

btw, the experiment you described DOES have a bit of chemisty in so :P

I didn't spy any chamisty....air pressure is strictly physics ;)

Ahh it's all physics, really.

V =d
- - t

Isn't that physics stuff? Like speed and motion? That unit was boring. I prefer chemistry much better.

That's somewhat physics, but it's not really delving deep into it. Really going into physics involves more doing. A simple problem would be finding where a projectile would land while ignoring wind resistance.

If someone could tell me how to do super/subscript formatting, I'd show you a problem or two.

What the hell are you onabout?

Note: I have only done my GCSE modular physics exam on energy.

He's talking about the formula...
Velocity = Displacement/Time

Indeed. Except velocity and displacement have an arrow on top. That one above would only be a speed = distance/time.
