And the winner is...

So for all this interview craze I've had to seriously think about what my favourite parts of physics are. I mean its not really an important decision at the moment but it just feels like I should have a favourite so I've made a decision... *drum roll*... At the moment it is definitely....

Please join us after the break!

Sorry too much Xfactor in my life? Well, its particle physics. Maybe you already guessed because I seem to mention it a lot but I hesitated about saying it is my favourite because it can be so damn complicated and seriously frustrating! So here are my reasons;

1. Its damn complicated and seriously frustrating!
2. It was the unit that I most looked forward to on the alevel course, well that and time travel but I'm afraid that's going to be hugely disappointing. All the time I had little clues of particle physics being dropped on physics lecture courses and in random Internet research and I was desperate to get my teeth stuck in and actually understand stuff!
3. Its so exciting at the moment! What with the neutrino debacle and the higs field drama, particle physics is where its at! It all feels so fresh and current

But I fully expect this to change, hopefully as frequently as I discover new things. I would never have thought I would like medical physics but once I got into it, it was so good! Plus it feels like it has so many worthwhile implications. I mean I'm sure that particle physics will lead a revolution one day but medical physics seems ever so Nobel at the moment but maybe that's just because I started reading 'Call the midwife' by Jennifer Worth
