Question: What made you choose physics out of all the areas in science?

Because it’s the coolest.

Errm to be honest I’m not sure exactly. I think whenever I was studying chemistry I always wanted a more in depth explanation of things. Plus sometimes when I learned things in chemistry I just had to memorize the answers for things (e.g. what colour does something turn if I add something else to it), but it felt like I didn’t really have to do that in physics. Physics was always more about figuring it out for yourself (which handily for me and my poor memory, also involved less memorisation)
