Physics sucks ass.

When you're given a test, promptly answer all the questions with "WHO GIVES A FUCK!?" and storm out of the room.

Because car 1 leaves city A 20 miles ahead of car 2 a gigantic flaming mountain will rain down upon the heavens and slam into our planet with the force of our entire nuclear arsenal, and we will all die. Some quickly, some slowly. So in the end does it matter which car arrives first if everyone dies the same!?

If the velocity and acceleration is correct, the boat would promptly leave earth's orbit in about six seconds.
Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Just a word of advice, from my friend Chris.

Answer all questions with "It's a Paradox."

I can provide ya with forumulas but its been a while since I actually went over the subject, so I'm not that helpful.

In Science there is Physics. Everything else is just Stamp Collecting.

Physics was never that hard, as long as you understand the universal question.

Yeah, I have a C in physics because I have trouble memorizing formulas. I understand how to use them, they just refuse to appear in my mind when needed. The bastards.

That sounds like a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide... just answer "42" for all the questions. :P

It wasn't meant to be....

The Universal Question is "Why?" It's not answerable. For every answer that you can give, there is always another "Why?" that can be asked.

Of course, how many "Why?"'s that you can get through proves how well you understand something.... The more you can get through, the better you understand it.

And how does "Why?" make physics any easier?

In schools today it's really nothing more than a calculus course, except they don't let you use derivatives, and you have to memorize a bunch of formulas that you'll never use again.

That's what Physics is. The study of How and Why things happen.

I still use things I pulled from my physics book in highschool.

Actually, physics is harder than some think. Just ask my bro.

Also, small typo to correct- 'Formulas' should be 'formulae'. 'Formula' is a latin word, and as such, when it is plural, you add an E to the end instead of an S.

In real life, you can refer to formulas as needed or just program them into your calculator, so all you need is a working knowledge of physics, don't need to memorize any formulas. But that won't help you on a physics test... just like the fact that in real life you can use a calculator rather than figure out trigonometric functions or square roots on paper.

Correct. Also, the proper plural of stadium is actually stadia, not stadiums. However, plural of octopus is octopuses, not octopi... octopus is derived from Greek, not Latin... -us to -i is something only Latin derived words do.
