Greetings everyone!
Recently, I came across a movie with a physics-like title, 0.0MHz, and I was immediately attracted to watch it. My love for physics and the terms related to it is so strong that each time I come across anything sounding like physics, good memories of those calculations we did in school start flowing in. Good feelings!
Physics was my best subject back then in school, and it was all because we had a nice teacher who taught us well.
Physics is still full of fun, and it baffles me whenever people talk about how dissatisfied they are with the subject. Some even go as far as selecting the most difficult subject, chemistry, over physics. Chemistry appeared very tough to me, and that was because we were not taught well in school.
So that’s it—someone picks a subject as their best subject most times because of how well they were taught, hence finding it very simple like boiled vegetables.
What I like about the subject:
Physics makes one think far and imagine things—things that are not really there. Yeah, back then, we used to imagine a lot, such as an aeroplane running at a certain speed and calculating the distance it could cover within a specific time.
Physics also brings some true facts that, ordinarily, no one would believe could happen in such a manner. I remember the time we were taught how a rainbow is formed in the sky. It's funny how a rainbow is just a refraction of sunlight and clouds in the sky.
Not only that, those calculations—when flowing with them—bring so much satisfaction. Imagine solving a physics question that takes three pages before arriving at the answer. Mehn, that feeling makes one think they're the next Albert Einstein. It was through physics I understood most of the mathematics terms, especially when it came to plotting graphs. Yoh! This plotting of graphs, after we learned it in physics, became extremely simple when we met it in Economics with those Price and Demand calculations.
Another thing is that knowing some S.I. units and how they came about can be so much fun. Take, for example, the movie I mentioned at the beginning, 0.0MHz—immediately I saw the title, I became curious to know how megahertz is connected with ghosts. Yeah, hertz is the unit of frequency.
Back then in secondary school, the day we found out that the S.I. unit for inductance is H, which stands for Henry, a good friend of mine whose name is Henry felt on top of the world. Mehn, the inductance topic was a fun one too because we calculated a lot of currents that we never saw physically.
There isn't a particular topic I love most. One time ago, I believed I was so good in Radioactivity because I attended an extra class for it, but no—others followed suit. The ones I didn't like are the ones I wasn’t opportune to learn, and it still pains me today that sometimes I feel like scheduling a teacher to teach me. But no, I don't have time—I'm hunting for money now.
At the end of secondary school, I selected a physics-related course to study in the tertiary institution, and I did Civil Engineering.
Thanks for reading.
