xkcd #2904: Physics vs. Magic
(imgs.xkcd.com)
A community for a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
Biology bs required 5 units of physics, physics was 3+1 for the lab. I haaaaate physics, love my chemistry, I'm pretty bad at higher math, physics just tries to be as tricky as possible while hiding behind the shroud of "this is how it works in life". They made a "physics for biologists"class which was as much practical application of physics as they could put into a 1 unit 1 night per week course. I learned more, better, talking point physics in that class than any other.
Finals week was an optional "sasquatch" lecture that was open to anyone we wanted to bring, it was attended by more people than were actually in the class.
We learned how drag coefficients worked, how a great white child swim from California to Japan in 1 bite of food, how a blue whale and a bacteria both use the same amount of energy to move a distance. How terminal velocity means you can't drop a mouse to it's death. The optics of eyes.. greatest physics course ever.
